Abstract

This study investigates the liminal experiences of street vendors on Malioboro Street, Yogyakarta, and the street itself as dynamic entities shaped by governmental regulations and social realities. It explores the interplay between power, state governance, small and medium-sized economies, and socio-cultural phenomena, focusing on community empowerment. Employing ethnographic methods, the research provides an in-depth, qualitative understanding of the street vendors' lived experiences and the socio-economic environment of Malioboro. The findings reveal despite the government's pro-SME stance, restrictive urban policies frequently undermine the vendors' stability and economic security. This discord creates a persistent state of liminality for the street vendors, who are continuously displaced and rendered powerless to shape their lives. The study underscores the importance of inclusive and humane urban governance that balances regulatory objectives with the socio-economic realities of street vendors. It calls for involving vendors in policy development, creating flexible regulatory frameworks, and investing in supportive infrastructure. By fostering inclusive, participatory, and culturally rich urban environments, it is possible to create economically vibrant and socially equitable spaces, benefiting all city residents.

Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on the role of the student in the learning process and boosting motivation for English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Motivation is widely considered to be a key aspect of being a successful learner. Moreover, there is a general consensus in the literature that motivation is one of the key learner characteristics. This present study aims to examine the impact of self-assessment as an alternative form of assessment on enhancing motivation and EFL learners' grammar achievements. To this end, the students in the experimental and control groups were all exposed to the same content and instructional method and had the same instructor. There was only one difference. The students in the experimental group self-assessed themselves, while the students in the control group were assessed by their instructor. The design of methodology is quasi-experimental design. The results revealed that self-assessment has a strong role in promoting the learners' motivation in EFL grammar achievements. The results have provided further evidence confirming that self-assessment as an alternative form of assessment is a useful for accounting for students' performance and learning. The present study has shed light on how self-assessment was found to affect learners' achievements and motivation in class. The issue of English grammar instruction in EFL classroom is intriguing and could have some recommendations for future research. As discussed in methodology, the method applied for control group was the conventional method, while a further study could present teaching grammar through other methods.
