Abstract

The purpose of this research were 1). To investigate the scores correlation from the self-assessment with the high lecturer’s summative test. 2). To guide also solve the Thai students problem of reading also listening barriers. 3). The effective self-assessment also teacher’s feedback as one of their guidance to improve their reading also listening ability. Research samples were taking from some Cambodian, Vietnamese, Myanmar, Laos, Chinese and Thai Students. At this time mainly the research was concentrate with the Thai students at Rajamanggala University of Technology Wangklaikangwon Campus. As we know exactly their language uses their own characters in writing words which are completely different from Roman Alphabets. They also apply different phonological system. This certainly causes problems for Thai students to learn English, particularly in reading aloud and listening comprehension. This research focused in reading classes in Rajamangala University of Technology Rattanakosin, Thailand and aimed at identifying problems in reading aloud encountered by the students and how self- assessment is conducted and feedbacks may be delivered. Data were derived from the students self- assessment of reading in which they were assigned to record their reading aloud. In this line, a phonetic transcription of some key words from the recorded texts were made and used in the self-assessment. Further, this data were compared to that of teacher’s summative test. In comparing the data from both measurement, Pearson Product Moment was applied to see the correlation.

Abstract

This study examines the information literacy (IL) competencies of EFL students at Indonesian higher education institutions. The study aims to (1) identify overall levels of information literacy competency, (2) examine strengths and weaknesses across five core IL components, (3) describe the distribution of competencies across undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels, and (4) determine instructional priorities to inform embedded information literacy development within English education curricula. A descriptive survey design was employed involving 227 undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students from three Indonesian universities. Data were collected using the 40-item Information Literacy Test (ILT), which assesses competencies in recognizing information needs, locating information, evaluating information, using information, and applying information ethically. Descriptive statistics, non-parametric group comparisons, and correlational analyses were conducted to examine performance patterns across educational levels and IL components. The results indicate that students demonstrated a moderate level of overall information literacy competency, with substantial overlap in score distributions across educational levels. Although postgraduate students achieved slightly higher mean scores than undergraduates, these differences were modest and not statistically significant. Students performed strongest in using information for academic tasks, while lower performance was observed in evaluating information and applying information ethically. The findings suggest that progression through higher levels of formal education does not automatically lead to systematic development of information literacy competencies among EFL students. Persistent weaknesses in evaluative judgment and ethical use of information across educational stages highlight the need for intentional, curriculum-embedded information literacy instruction within English education programs. This study provides an empirically grounded, component-level profile of information literacy competencies to support more coherent and pedagogically aligned instructional practices in Indonesian higher education. Keywords: information literacy, higher education, EFL, information literacy test.
