Abstract

English is one of the international languages that all people, especially students, must master. English is not only about reading but also speaking and listening. Therefore, listening material has been received up to the senior high school level since the junior high school level. In this listening lesson, a teacher must have the right and fun strategy in conveying material to students. In this study, researchers used interviews with teachers and made observations. The results of this study show that the two teachers have different strategies for conveying listening lessons. The first teacher used the 'Word Chain Song Game' strategy and the second teacher used the 'Guess the Meaning of Lyric' strategy. Each strategy is unique and has been adapted to class conditions and students' abilities. Listening comprehension is conveyed to students not only by listening to native speakers speaking but also by playing songs. Listening learning in this research, teachers use game-based learning strategies.  Keywords: Song, Listening, Teacher’s Strategy

Abstract

English is the world's international language and is recognised as one of the languages taught in many schools in certain countries even though English is not their first language. This also happened in Thailand, where English learning and teaching activities have been carried out for more than a century. This research aims to know how cooperative learning using Canva boost speaking activities in primary school. The researcher applies a qualitative case study design by collecting data using field notes, informal interviews, and open-ended questionnaires. The subjects of this research were English teacher and grade- -sixth students at Bannonkokkha School, Thailand. The research results show that most students gave positive feedback towards cooperative learning using Canva which was considered effective to boost speaking activities and increase social skills for students. Students feel happy, enjoy, and comfortable when the teacher applies cooperative learning since students can create positive collaboration. They also helped with the visual representations of images from Canva provided by the teacher in the form of digital and flashcards. In addition, students feel that the activities they have done with the group help them to reach goals and engage motivation to learn together. Hence, cooperative learning is considered suitable for primary levels with supporting media, namely Canva. This research is expected to provide new knowledge for readers so that the implementation of this cooperative learning with the use of Canva in the future can contribute to the development of more innovative and effective learning at the basic education level.

Abstract

The pervasive use of English has a significant effect on language development. It has demonstrated that English is crucial in many facets of contemporary life, including commerce, the economy, politics, and tourism, notably in education. Code-switching is a teaching method that provides explanations and tools for students with limited English skills. The short duration of the English specialization class encourages the teacher to code-switch so that students can receive and understand the material well. This study aims to analyze the types and reasons for code-switching used by teachers in teaching English as a foreign language in Islamic boarding schools. This research uses descriptive qualitative research. The subjects of this study were teachers who taught English specialization classes at one of the boarding schools in Sidoarjo, Indonesia. Data collection was carried out through observation and interview techniques. Research data were analyzed using analytical methods. This study’s results indicate three types of data on the use of code-switching by teachers: tag-switching, intra-sentential switching, and between-sentence switching. The reasons teachers use it in the learning process in the classroom are four types: facilitating learning, getting good feedback from students, making the classroom atmosphere more interactive, and establishing good relationships with students. This research found that using code-switching to deliver learning can positively impact teachers and students in the classroom

Abstract

This current research intends to identify and explain the forms of speech acts produced by the teacher in a learning video published on a YouTube channel. This research applies a qualitative descriptive method to respond to the problems studied. The findings indicate that among the various speech acts used, directive speech acts are more produced by the teacher in the video. It can be concluded from the results that 26 utterances produced by the teacher (25.2%) belong to representative speech acts, 52 utterances (50.5%) to directive speech acts, 2 utterances (2%) to commissive speech acts, 23 utterances (22.3%) to expressive speech acts. Directives are mostly produced by teachers inside the classroom while asking and questioning and become the most dominant directive speech acts produced by the teacher. It may happen because, in the learning video, the teacher gives students the opportunity to study a problem and try to solve the problem independently.

Abstract

Task-Based Language Teaching has emerged as an innovative approach to language learning, emphasizing the use of meaningful tasks to facilitate language acquisition. This method not only fosters engagement among learners but also caters to their specific needs and proficiencies, thereby promoting a more dynamic and effective learning environment. The study employed a qualitative research design utilizing semi-structured interviews to gather data on learners' experiences and outcomes associated with task-based activities. Participants comprised language learners from diverse backgrounds who engaged in a variety of task-based activities designed to reflect their linguistic needs and cultural contexts. The findings showed that students generally found the task-based activities engaging and relevant to their language learning needs, as the tasks often mirrored real-life situations, which increased their motivation and facilitated a deeper understanding of language use in authentic contexts. The incorporation of such authentic tasks not only enhanced the learners' motivation but also encouraged the transfer of skills to real-world communication scenarios, demonstrating the critical link between task relevance and communicative competence among language learners.

Abstract

English is a compulsory subject taught at all educational levels in Indonesia. However, many EFL students struggle to achieve fluency in spoken English despite years of study. This disinterest stems from limited enthusiasm and participation. Incorporating innovative media into learning is expected to improve students' speaking skills. Therefore, this research investigates the effect of using pictures in speaking skills development through guessing games. The study employed a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design. A sample of 25 eighth-grade students was selected from a population of 118 at a private school in Sidoarjo. SPSS Version 26 was used to analyze pre- and post-test data. The findings indicate that using pictures in guessing games effectively increased EFL students' speaking abilities, as evidenced by significant score disparities between the pre-test average (11.12) and post-test (16.32). Additionally, the t-count value of 14.066, compared to the t-table value of 2.064 at a 0.05 significance level, suggests a substantial improvement. These results demonstrate that guessing games using pictures significantly enhance student engagement and interest in learning speaking skills. The findings imply that employing pictures in guessing games can potentially enhance student engagement in speaking class activities. Teachers are encouraged to use innovative media to inspire students and enhance their speaking skills.

Abstract

This research uncovers students' perceptions of the benefits of significant books on reading skills. A purposive descriptive case study was used to explore their perceptions of the benefits of big books on reading skills and the challenges in practicing the activity. Five elementary school students who read big books became participants in this research. To fill the gap, this research aimed to describe the benefits of big books on students' reading activities. An open-ended questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were collected through structured interviews and analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The results showed that students positively perceived reading using big books. They argued that this technique stimulated and encouraged their creativity. However, it was found that big book has limited verbal representation and development of other skills. This research implies that big books can enhance creativity, are easy to use, and are not fixated on technology.

Abstract

The challenge faced by teachers today is the lack of skills in developing technology-based media. In facing the demands of an increasingly developing curriculum, teachers need to be given reinforcement in the development of professionalism, including in making digital-based media. Based on the problem, MI Muhammadiyah 2 Kedungbanteng is a school that deserves instructional media training. The obstacles faced include the absence of assistance to develop technology-based media so that the digital literacy of teachers is still low, the absence of school literacy activities through teacher-made media, and the lack of activities that can hone creativity to optimize vocabulary learning. This service wants to make a meaningful contribution to teachers with training activities in developing Canva application-based big book media. The activity is carried out through preparation, implementation, and evaluation stage. In the preparatory stage, the team collected initial information about conditions in school that could support the development of teacher competencies as well as implementation schedules and monitoring and evaluation. Furthermore, at the implementation stage, activities are carried out through material presentation, discussion, and independent assignments. For the monitoring and evaluation stage, the teachers conducted learning using the resulting big book and the community service team observed learning in class. This service was successfully carried out according to plan and made several contributions to strengthening understanding of the material and skills in designing and implementing Canva-based big book. The teachers stated that they were satisfied with this training and hoped to create other media creations in the next training.

Abstract

Studies have shown that during the process of Interlanguage development, language learners cannot avoid making grammatical errors in either spoken or written form. Although it is considered as a normal phase, errors can lower students' confidence to be active EFL learners in the class. Accordingly, they need teachers’ appropriate corrective feedback (CF) to produce effective communication in the target language. Thus, considering the significant contribution of grammar knowledge and teachers' feedback on students' English proficiency, this paper aims to explore the perception of 12 EFL teachers’ practices and 91 students, both of whom are involved in an English writing class, about CF. The instruments used to collect the data was closed- and open-ended questionnaire. The results indicate that teachers vary their CF in terms of frequency and types. In addition, students show a different perspective on the effectiveness of CF in writing class. Also, teachers need to become more familiar with electronic CF in order to implement it better in class including for writing instruction process and promoting peer corrective feedback. In line with these findings, suggestions for future research are provided.
