<![CDATA[Non-native English learners need time to learn English language since they just heard without knowing how to pronounce it correctly. This condition occurs in common Primary Schools because the students do not have foreign language background, at school as well as at home. The hidden curriculum focusing on students’ soft skills are not well administered as the school managements think that what they have to do in running the academic atmosphere is teaching well for their students. The first step in teaching English for young learners especially those who are non-native English learners is introducing English by getting to know it. Piaget’s child’s development contributes in helping teachers to know their student’s growth physically and mentally in order to help them learn better while they play different teacher’s roles. Piaget proves that cognitivism gives insight that is children’s develop through stages since they were born. First graders at their age is on the stage called preoperational with one of characteristics that is language development with the goal to create symbolic thought. One way to achieve this goal is by teaching alphabet for first graders.]]>

The interaction of the ego and superego gives rise to morality, guilty, and a conscience.]]>

<![CDATA[Spoken communication demands the students' intelligible pronunciation of English speech sounds since unintelligible pronunciation hampers successful communication. However, the pronunciation of English speech sounds is problematic for many EFL learners even after years of learning English. The pronunciation problem is more complex when the speech sounds occur in a text. This is because, in an English class, the focus of pronunciation practice is usually on isolated words, phrases and sentences. Thus, they find difficulties when they apply the words, phrases, and sentences in a text. This study focused on teaching English diphthongs using the text-based approach. It investigated how text-based teaching can enhance the EFL students’ mastery to pronounce English diphthongs in a text. This study is an experimental design, comparing two groups of students’ pronunciation competence taught with genre/text-based approach and conventional approach. The research results revealed the effectiveness of text-based teaching since there was a significant difference in the students' competence taught with text-based teaching compared to those taught with the conventional method. Drilling techniques which were also applied played a vital role in the pronunciation practice. Based on the conclusion above, it is recommended that English teachers apply the text-based approach and drilling techniques as an alternative strategy to teach English diphthongs.]]>

<![CDATA[The current study examined the use of Code-Switching in WhatsApp Group (WAG) to find out what codes were used and switched among users of WA and in particular to identify the rationales for such a discursive practice in their communication amid Covid-19 Pandemic. Data for this study were screenshots of linguistic exchanges in WAG over a period of two days (weekend). Theoretical framework for the use of Code- Switching was highlighted as the basis of data analysis. Findings reveal that most members of WAG employ intrasentential code-switching. Regarding the rationales of code-switching, most members used code- switching to talk about particular topics and to show emphaty. The study concludes that code switching is a social reality in a multilingual and multicultural society of diverse educational background. It is highly recommended that similar studies be conducted in some wider and more diverse strata of people in the use of CS to support a newly coined term ‘Permanent Code Switching’ (PCS).]]>

<![CDATA[The disruption technology impacts industrious educational setting empowering more skills than knowledge. The online learning is another thing to do by the institutional education while the content of the learning materials reflect the learners’ need. The emergence of CLT led to the need of using English in more specific use such as for occupational or educational framework. Some studies deal with ESP focusing on teaching some specific kinds of language and communicative skills needed for particular roles rather than concentrate on more general English (Richards, 2006:12). The advance technology in teaching began when the internet dominates the human’s life. ICT offers a solution for educational institution to deliver their teaching and learning process nowadays. The online learning will give more impacts for language learners as they belong to millennium generation. Teachers should be aware of this because ICT is an important part of the development of teaching and learning (Wyse, Dominic et.al., 2008:237). Therefore teachers should use ICT as their tool to enhance their teaching and learning practices. This study concerns to develop 4.0 English curriculum by strengthening ESP using ICT in English classroom context.]]>

<![CDATA[The condition of the education system that changed from a face-to-face learning system to an online learning system as a reaction to the spread of the COVID-19 virus throughout Indonesia made this an inspiration for researchers to conduct research. Of course, given the new education system, teachers must develop efficient teaching techniques to optimize student learning. This study intends to describe the methods teachers use to teach English lessons online during the pandemic. The purpose of this study is to analyze the teachers' methods for teaching English during the COVID-19 pandemic: (1) the strategies that teacher used during COVID-19 pandemic to teaching writing, (2) the reasons of selecting those strategies. In order to create this thesis, the researcher used descriptive qualitative methods. Since the researcher completed a one- month internship at a school on October 25, 2022, the study data has been assessed. Two English teachers from EMSA School were interviewed to gather information.The findings of this study are as follows: (1) explain various devices to tech and providing detailed instruction on how to submit the assignment, (2) explain the use of online tools as the effective way, (3) evaluating the student’s comprehension of the materials, reminding students for the schedule and using online tools to provide the assignment. Key words: Teachers’ strategies, online learning, online platform.]]>

<![CDATA[Abstract— Students’ critical thinking is one of the life skills that they have to master in their life. The shifting means of reading, from textbooks to electronic text tends to change students’ behavior. They are lazy to read from the text on the other hand they are keen to read through gadgets. Reading is one of the strategies to build critical thinking in which students have to improve their understanding so that they know about the things written in the texts. Though the COVID-19 pandemic changes the reading mode, the students’ comprehension is still low. This study is a preliminary study for portraying students’ critical thinking from Information Technology students, about critical thinking, known as a case study. The findings show that the students’ comprehension is low. Among seven (7) traits of critical thinkers proposed by Martha Stewart, they show that the systematic-by-the method trait is the dominant trait because they rely on their logical reasoning. Based on Bloom Taxonomy, the result shows that their cognitive level is on the level of understanding that belongs to young learners’ level. The conclusion shows that the students of Information Technology are dominant in the systematic-by-the method trait. They should improve their reading level by spending more reading time and practicing their comprehension from reading different texts. By reading, the students will gain knowledge of the world and be critical thinkers.]]>
