Abstract

While online learning has advantages, it also poses challenges, notably the lack of personal connection between educators and students, impacting the psychological aspect of learning. The pandemic period further highlighted issues like technological disparities and limited lecturers' competence in using learning applications, affecting the effectiveness of online education. Ensuring a quality educational experience is crucial. This study examines lecturers' satisfaction with videoconference-based virtual meeting applications in teaching-learning activities at a private college. Using a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, the study explored lecturers' satisfaction. The findings indicate that while virtual meetings might not guarantee improvements in students' English skills, the lecturers were satisfied with the system's implementation. Collaborative teaching through virtual meetings balanced asynchronous learning with direct feedback, fostering class interaction and satisfying the urge for distance learning. The study sheds light on lecturers' satisfaction with virtual meeting applications, underscoring the need to address challenges to enhance online education's effectiveness and quality.

Abstract

The research investigated the cohesive devices used in EFL students' recount texts and the problems encountered during their writing. 33 high school students' essays were analyzed, and the students were interviewed. The findings showed that all five types of cohesive devices appeared in the students' writings, with reference the most, followed by a conjunction, lexical cohesion, ellipsis, and substitution the least. Three types of cohesive devices were identified as problematic to the students: conjunction, reference, and lexical cohesion. Four reasons were further found for the students' difficulty in using the cohesive devices: pure error, absence of knowledge, overuse, and lack of writing practice. These findings may give new insights for language teachers in the attempt to understand the causes that lead to cohesion problems in students' writing so that proper measures can be taken to address them and improve the quality of their writing generally.

Abstract

A proposal seminar presentation is one of the compulsory activities that university students must undertake before writing their thesis. This usually causes anxiety for students because they have to present their research proposals in front of lecturers as reviewers. Therefore, this study aims to identify the types and causes of speaking anxiety among English Education Department students at Universitas Syiah Kuala during their proposal seminar presentations. This study used a descriptive qualitative design in which questionnaires, interviews and observation were employed as research instruments. The data were collected from ten students who were presenting their research proposals. The analysis, involving percentages and transcript examination, revealed three types of speaking anxiety: test anxiety, communication apprehension, and fear of evaluation. Test anxiety emerged as the most prevalent type. Additionally, the study identified three primary factors contributing to speaking anxiety: fear of making mistakes, insufficient knowledge, and low self-confidence.

Abstract

The study aims to identify challenges teachers and students face in this process at an Islamic bilingual middle boarding school in Aceh, Indonesia. The participants included 27 boarding school students, one English teacher, and one Arabic teacher. The collected data underwent analysis using the interactive analysis model, which involves data reduction, display, and verification. The analysis focuses on specific activities within five categories: (1) mufradat (vocabulary), (2) controlling language use, (3) muhadasah (conversational activities), (4) competition, and (5) cooperation. The findings revealed that not all specified activities were consistently carried out, with each category featuring three implemented activities: daily vocabulary memorization, language festivals, and the application of punishments. The interviews brought forth challenges such as teachers' language proficiency limitations, students' low motivation, and a tendency to use the Indonesian language when unsupervised. These insights provide valuable guidance for similar boarding institutions that implement comparable language programs.

Abstract

This study aims at measuring the intercultural sensitivity of English language students at a higher education institution in Makassar, Indonesia. The participants of the study were the first semester students of the English Literature Study Program from the Faculty of Languages and Literature, Universitas Negeri Makassar, who enrolled in the English Phonology course (N = 73, female = 61 (83.56%) and male = 12 (16.44%). The participants of the study were from the English Phonology course because the participants were from various ethnic group backgrounds. The instrument used for the study was Chen and Starosta’s Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (ISS) to explore the intercultural sensitivity of English language students. The findings reveal that the subjects enjoy interacting with people from different cultures. It was also found that: 1) The participants respected the values of people from different cultures, 2) They felt confident when interacting with people from different cultures, 3) They are pretty sure of themselves in interacting with people from different cultures, 4) They respect the values of people from different cultures, 5) They often give positive responses to their culturally different counterpart during their interaction.

Abstract

Given that researchers aim to publish in prestigious journals, understanding the rhetorical organization of such publications is crucial. While this topic has been extensively studied, existing research has yet to explore how authors in reputable journals engage with prior literature. To fill this gap, the present study intends to analyze how research article authors respond to other earlier literature in their research article introductions (RAIs) published in reputable international applied linguistics journals. This study aims to achieve two objectives: to find out to what extent responding to other earlier literature is important in RAIs, and to discover what types of response authors employ in their RAIs. To achieve these goals, this study employed combined descriptive qualitative and quantitative approaches for analyzing 40 RAIs published in Q1 journals as data sets in the present study. Then, a new analytical framework was designed to respond to the above objectives. The results indicated that responding to other earlier literature is obligatory in RAIs published in reputable international applied linguistics journals. In responding to other earlier literature, authors employed three types of response: either extending other earlier studies, modifying other earlier studies, or establishing a new method, idea, or knowledge. This study offers theoretical contributions by expanding the understanding of how research article authors engage with prior literature within their RAIs. Its practical implications include guiding researchers on effectively utilizing prior literature to establish their research agenda when publishing in reputable journals.

Abstract

This community service was conducted in Gampong Santan, located in the Ingin Jaya District of Aceh Besar Regency, with the primary aim of renovating a space into an Al-Qur'an Education Park (TPA). The newly created space is specifically designed to serve as a dedicated area for Al-Qur'an literacy activities among the young community members. As is known, the level of Al-Qur'an literacy in Indonesia is in the moderate category, even though it is a country with the largest Muslim population in the world. Recognizing this gap, the community service project sought to address the issue by providing a dedicated and well-equipped space for the residents of Gampong Santan, particularly the younger generation, to engage in and develop their Al-Qur'an literacy skills. Therefore, the community service project sought to bridge the gap by providing a well-equipped facility in Gampong Santan. By revitalizing an underutilized space and transforming it into a hub for Al-Qur'an education, the project hoped to inspire and encourage the residents, particularly the youth, to deepen their connection with the Al-Qur'an.Keywords: TPA, Literacy, Community Service

Abstract

This research project explores the application of Consciousness Raising (henceforth C-R) activities in senior high school English textbooks, focusing on their presence and extent of implementation. C-R activities are instructional strategies that encourage learners to develop an explicit understanding of language structures rather than simply memorizing rules. This study seeks to determine whether such activities have been integrated into high school English textbooks and, if so, to what extent they are applied throughout the lessons.  The study employs a content analysis research method to systematically examine the inclusion of C-R activities within selected English textbooks used at the high school level. The analysis focuses specifically on the grammar lessons, identifying patterns in how C-R activities are incorporated into the instructional design. The findings indicate that all three textbooks examined consistently integrate C-R activities within their grammar lessons. Notably, these activities are most prominently featured in the Presentation stages of the lessons, where students are introduced to new grammatical structures. This suggests that the textbooks emphasize explicit awareness of grammar rules through structured exercises and discovery-based learning approaches.

Abstract

Citation studies in research articles (RAs) have been widely conducted worldwide, but such studies rarely compared English and Indonesian RAs, especially within the history discipline. Therefore, the researchers intended to analyze and compare citations in English and Indonesian research article introductions (RAIs) in the history discipline using a genre approach for the analysis and a descriptive qualitative approach for the reports. In this regard, 30 RAIs from both data sets were analyzed using two different frameworks: one is to identify citation ways and, the other one is to analyze citation types. The results revealed that English and Indonesian authors tended to employ descriptions more than other techniques when citing sources. However, English authors employed this technique more than Indonesian authors. In addition, both English and Indonesian authors also used a non-integral type more frequently than the integral counterpart, but English authors employed this type more frequently than Indonesian authors. Thus, these results conclude that although both English and Indonesian authors tended to assimilate their citations and avoid integrating them, English authors still employed this citation technique and type more frequently than Indonesian authors.

Abstract

This study explores English Language Teaching (ELT) methodologies at IAI Al-Aziziyah Islamic Institution, addressing the methods used, adherence to pedagogical criteria, and challenges in implementation. Employing a qualitative case study design with in-depth interviews involving four lecturers, the research revealed significant reliance on traditional approaches, particularly the Grammar-Translation Method (GTM), for teaching grammar and vocabulary. While contemporary methodologies like Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Content-Based Instruction (CBI) were adopted to some extent, their inconsistent application highlighted limitations, including inadequate use of real-life contexts and collaborative tasks. Minimal application of Task-Based Learning (TBL) and Total Physical Response (TPR) further reflected a gap between theoretical ideals and practice. Challenges such as large class sizes, limited teaching resources, and the complexity of integrating Islamic values into ELT were prominent. The findings emphasize the need for professional development, enhanced institutional support, and culturally adaptive teaching methods to improve ELT outcomes in the Aceh context. This study underscores the importance of aligning ELT methodologies with local cultural and religious values while fostering communicative competence and active learning. Future research should investigate innovative strategies for integrating Islamic perspectives into ELT practices.
