Abstract

This study explores reading activity using the Interactive Read-aloud approach to foster students' reading engagement and critical literacy. It also examines teachers' strategies to make interactions easier in an EFL classroom. In order to address the research problems, an exploratory sequential mix method was used, which included classroom observation, written papers, and an experiment in the classroom. The result of the study revealed that several strategies in applying critical literacy during interactive read-aloud were identified: juxtaposition, problem-solving, bookmark technique, say something, connection stem, switching and thinking hats. The test score of the experimental group has shown significant improvement from using the Interactive read-aloud approach, from 71.47 on the pretest to 87.47 on the posttest. The students also expressed varied enthusiasm and agreement regarding the benefits and enjoyment of Interactive Read-aloud. It is hoped that the practice of Interactive read-aloud can be widely used by teachers, parents, or educational practitioners to engage students in reading, enhance their motivation, and foster their critical literacy.

Abstract

This research aimed at descriptively investigating pre-service teachers’ reflective teaching practices. The contents regarding analysis of the elements of reflection referred to the notion of reflective teaching proposed by Loughran (2006;1996). Four participants of EFL pre-service teachers doing teaching practice in two state secondary schools were involved in this study. Employing a case study design, data were collected through the participants’ reflective teaching journals and semi-structured interviews and were analyzed through inductive thematic analysis. The overall findings indicated that all elements of reflection were identified in the pre-service teachers’ reflective teaching journals although those elements did not emerge in sequence. Furthermore, the results showed that the issues that arose during teaching practice were related to learning management, knowledge management, classroom management, and language management. It is hoped that this study gives insight into the current debate concerning the rise of reflective teaching practice related to individual reflection during teaching practice and brings betterment in teacher education.
