Abstract

Although the present body of literature supports the use of project-based learning (PBL) to teach grammatical accuracy, there is still huge urgency to investigate its effectiveness for language learners with different motivation. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of PBL, the effect motivation in teaching grammar for ten graders and the interaction among techniques, motivation, and students’ grammar. The study is a 2X2 factorial research design involving 48 students in two experimental groups and two control groups. The samples are divided into high and low motivated where the experimental groups are taught using PBL and the control groups are taught using collaborative learning. The data are collected by using a pretest and a posttest. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) is used for analyzing the data. The content analysis reveals that students’ motivation does not effect students grammar significantly in both experimental and control groups. The finding also shows that both techniques are effective to improve students’ grammatical accuracy for high and low motivated students. The analysis of variance shows that there is no interaction among students’ motivation, techniques, and students’ grammar with the level of significance at 0.934. The study suggests that teachers must be able to consider the presence of both variables in teaching and learning, especially to teach grammatical accuracy.

Abstract

Perubahan Kurikulum yang sering terjadi di Indonesia seiring dengan pergantian pimpinan di Kementrian Pendidikan Nasional menyebabkan mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris di Sekolah Dasar berubah dari muatan lokal menjadi program ektrakurikuler. Berdasarkan data observasi yang telah dilakukan dengan guru-guru SD yang mengajar Bahasa Inggris di kabupaten Landak, pengajaran English for Young Leaners mengalami beberapa kendala seperti kualifikasi guru yang bukan Sarjana Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, pengunaan teknik serta metode mengajar Bahasa Inggris yang monoton dan kurang menarik, kurangnya sumber ajar, serta tidak adanya pelatihan dan pembinaan pengajaran Bahasa Inggris bagi pembelajar anak. Melihat situasi dan kondisi tersebut maka tim pengabdi dari Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris berkolaborasi dengan Perguruan tinggi lain melakukan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dengan memberikan pendampingan dan pelatihan pengajaran English for Young Leaners bagi guru-guru Sekolah Dasar di kabupaten Landak Kalimantan Barat. Hasil pengabdian ini menunjukan bahwa guru memiliki motivasi yang baik dalam meningkatkan kompetensi mereka dalam pengajaran Bahasa Inggris, pemahaman mereka terhadap karakteristik pembelajar anak juga meningkat, serta adanya peningkatan kemampuan guru dalam menciptakan pengajaran yang bermakna dan menyenangkan dengan menggunakan teknologi dalam pendidikan. Dari survey yang telah dilakukan terbukti 75% peserta sangat puas mengikuti kegiatan ini, hal ini ditandai dengan motivasi mereka dalam pengajaran English for Young Leaners semakin meningkat.

Abstract

Students' linguistics knowledge, especially on sentence structure, is urgently needed for English Pre-Service teachers as an essential skill. However, English pre-service teachers in a private university in West Kalimantan faced various challenges in learning it. The present study aims to analyze self-reflection journal realization and students' views in English Syntax courses in higher education. This study included 20 English Pre-Service teachers from semester 5 who were enrolled in two classes of the English Syntax course. It utilized a qualitative method and a case study approach. The purposive sampling method was employed to select representative and communicative participants. They wrote self-reflection journals on three topics in the English Syntax syllabus. The result showed that self-reflection journals were useful for the students in evaluating their progress on each topic. Self-reflection journals triggered the students' self-awareness and self-development, which benefited the teaching and learning process. According to the students, they were delighted to evaluate their process and find a new solution for their future learning strategy. Moreover, the present study might provide a new paradigm for the use of self-reflection journals in English Syntax courses other than Writing skills. Future research is recommended to develop the self-reflection journal instrument to gain a more authentic reflection entry.

The quantitative data were collected through questionnaires on factors related to literacy skills involving 852 grade six elementary school students from thirty-nine (39) public and private elementary schools in one of the rural areas in Indonesia. Descriptive statistics and T-tests were administered to analyze the questionnaire data and to identify the most and least significant factors and domains influencing students’ literacy skills. Additionally, qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with the participants. The results show that motivation and literacy facilities at schools and homes are crucial for students’ literacy development in rural areas. The discussion exhibits the role of literacy facilities and students’ motivation as dominant factors in shaping students’ literacy skills. This research contributes to understanding the factors influencing literacy skills among young learners in rural areas of Indonesia. The findings have implications for educators, educational institutions, parents, and policymakers, providing insights to shape educational policies and practices that enhance literacy outcomes in rural regions.
