Abstract

Academic wiring is one of the essential skills in academic writing, and it is vital to support students' self-development through opinion writing, grant essay writing and others. This study explores students' difficulties in writing English academic essays and the dominant challenges by using a mix-method approach. The qualitative is used to collect data, while the quantitative is used to find the difficulty percentage—the data analysis uses indicators from Brown (1999). The sample of this study was 30 students in the fifth semester of the English Education Study Program at Universitas Kristen Artha Wacana. The results showed that students still experienced serious difficulties in four aspects of academic writing; content, organization, discourse and mechanics. The most dominant difficulties (97%) were found in; 1) thesis statement; 2) related ideas; 3) development of ideas; and 4) use of description/cause and effect, comparison/contrast; 5) effective introduction; 6) topic sentence and 7) reference. Writing essays are challenging for students in the English Education Study program. Further research is recommended to investigate the causal factors and find practical strategies for teaching academic writing courses.

Abstract

Status identitas mahasiswa menggaris bawahi pada upaya mahasiswa berkomitmen dan berkesplorasi dalam menyelesaikan berbagai tugas dan tanggung jawab belajarnya sehingga dirasa perlu mempertimbangkan strategi belajar yang mendorong mahasiswa untuk bereksplorasi dan berkomitmen. Karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji pengaruh strategi belajar otonomi terhadap status identitas mahasiswa dengan menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain pre-test-post-test yang melibatkan sampel berjumlah 23 orang (M = 19.39; SD = 1.52). Pengumpulan data status identitas menggunakan kuisioner status identitas yang dikembangkan oleh Marcia terdiri dari 40 pernyataan, masing-masing status identitas terdiri dari 10 pernyataan. Analisis data menggunakan t-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara statistik tidak ada pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap status identitas mahasiswa sebelum dan setelah diberikan perlakuan strategi belajar otonomi. Data statistik menunjukkan bahwa nilai sig. lebih besar dari 0,05 (˃ 0.715). Dengan demikian, strategi belajar otonomi perlu dipertimbangkan untuk diujicobakan kepada siswa pada satuan pendidikan yang lebih rendah atau jika dilakukan pada tingkat universitas maka pengajar perlu menciptakan crisis dalam pembelajaran. Selain itu, pendekatan kualitatif perlu dipertimbangkan dalam penelitian serupa.

Abstract

This article is an exposition and analysis based on a case study of two public schools in Kupang city. Data were obtained through observations and questionnaires distributed to teachers who teach at the schools. The results show that learning continues even though the pandemic of COVID-19 forces learning to take place virtually. Teachers have no difficulty in delivering teaching materials to their students because of the availability of technology along with its various applications and features. In this situation, teachers find new challenges in managing learning. However, there are various obstacles that contribute to the effectiveness of learning. These obstacles come from students and technical infrastructure which is also a problem for teachers. The findings in this study were analyzed from five aspects, namely pedagogical, the mastery of technology, human resource readiness, economic, and social aspects. All these aspects are interrelated, therefore intervention from all stakeholders is needed to realize learning in an effective virtual classroom environment.

Abstract

This article discusses the language form and the symbolic function of quotes or slogans on transportation around Kupang city. The data of this study were collected directly from the transportation around the streets. They were analyzed using qualitative methods, while the symbolic functions were analyzed using a critical discourse analysis model. It found that land transportation uses multi-languages, English, Indonesian, Kupang Malay, Uab Meto (Dawan), Rote, Sabu, Hebrew, Latin, and Betawi. Some use a particular style of language, such as p27den, and a combination of two or more languages or dialects. English is the most dominant language used. The lack of local languages shows massive cultural changes and people's attitudes toward local languages. The linguistic unit consists of words, phrases, clauses, sentences, and acronyms. English is dominant in each linguistic unit except in acronyms. The quotes represent six themes: love, religion, music, power, family, and regionalism. In general, They carry two functions, power relations, and identity.

Abstract

Wilayah perbatasan Indonesia-Timor Leste seperti di kabupaten Timor Tengah Utara di kategorikan sebagai daerah terdepan, terpencil dan tertinggal sehingga memerlukan perhatian lebih besar dari pemerintah di semua sektor, termasuk pendidikan, Artikel ini bertujuan untuk melihat kesiapan guru dalam menghadapi perkembangan dunia pendidikan, khususnya dalam hal teknologi. Data diperoleh melalui penelitian dengan metode pengamatan dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa pemahaman tentang digitalisasi pendidikan hanya terbatas pada penggunaan peralatan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi, bukan penggunaan berbagai platform pembelajaran berbasis teknologi dalam pembelajaran. Terdapat bantuan pemerintah untuk mengatasi digitalisasi pendidikan ini tetapi masih sangat terbatas. Faktor infrastuktur dan ekonomi menjadi hambatan. Selain itu, kurangnya motivasi dan kemauan guru untuk beralih ke pembelajaran berbasis teknologi menjadi faktor penting yang membuat bantuan pemerintah itu seperti tidak efektif. Bantuan infrastuktur teknologi harus bersamaan dengan mempersiapkan guru tidak hanya cara mengoperasikan peralatan teknologi tetapi penggunaan platform dan media pembelajaran berbasis teknologi

Abstract

This article discusses code-switching used by teachers during the teaching and learning of English as a foreign language in the classroom. This is the result of a case study at a junior high school in Lembata, East Nusa Tenggara which aims to reveal the types and reasons for code-switching used by teachers in teaching. Data was obtained by observation and interviews with three English teachers who teach in six classes. The research results show that teachers use three types of code-switching, namely inter-sentential, intra-sentential, tag code-switching, and inter-participant code-switching. The use of these types depends on the teaching and learning situation in the classroom. The use of code-switching is based on the reason that it is used as a translation, to increase vocabulary, explain difficult words or topics, change topics, clarify subjects, avoid boring situations, and provide information. The use of code-switching helps teachers to teach and students to learn English, especially for new learners

Abstract

English is an international language familiar to everyone, relating to various social aspects. It can be found and easily seen or read in public spaces, such as on billboards or banners, and business names, such as shops, hotels, restaurants, transportation, and others. English is used in varied lingual forms and even the possibility of writing and grammatical errors. This research deals with the written English on outdoor signs in Kupang City, focusing on language errors and their causing factors. This research applied a qualitative analysis to explore the type of language errors found in written English in the outdoor signs, the outdoor signs that contain written English language errors, and the factors that cause language errors. The data for this study are the outdoor signs in Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia that contain language errors in written English. All data are collected using photographic techniques using a digital camera. The next step is to transcribe the written English containing language errors and analyze the data qualitatively. The result of the study shows that the main errors are due to the spelling system, namely, deleting a sound and replacing the English sound with Indonesian. The analysis of the language errors also revealed that they are caused by English language competence and supported by the interference of the author or sign producers’ first language. This study may contribute significantly, especially for language learners, since English on outdoor signs can be used as authentic material for learning and English teaching and learning in schools.
