Abstract

This study aimed to ascertain vocational EFL teachers’ perspectives on the development of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) resources in vocational schools. It employed a mixed-method approach in which data were collected simultaneously using an open-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The study involved 95 English teachers from vocational schools in two cities of East Java, Indonesia. Among the participants, four were invited to participate in an online interview to discuss their perspectives on the characteristics, use and development of MALL material for vocational students. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. The analysis results showed that more than half of the respondents agreed that MALL resources were more accessible (65.4%), easier to generate (65.4%) and more successful at improving learners’ autonomy (73.1%), compared to traditional materials. Additionally, 40% of teachers thought that MALL materials could be used to promote classroom interaction, and it was much easier for teachers to provide immediate feedback through mobile phone. In summary, 42% of teachers agreed that MALL resources could aid in foreign language acquisition. Due to students’ proximity to technology and mobile devices, teachers recognized that MALL materials can be applied inside and outside the classrooms. Therefore, vocational EFL teachers must be able to develop and implement MALL materials in their classrooms.

Abstract

Speaking skills are generally perceived as the measurement of the success of English Language Teaching (ELT), yet these skills are considered very hard to achieve. In fact, there have been different levels of speaking proficiencies among students. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the oral production learning strategies used by high and low proficiency English Education students. The design of this study was descriptive qualitative. The third semester English Education students of Universitas PGRI Kanjuruhan Malang were included. In collecting the data, the researchers used three instruments, especially a speaking test, documentation, questionnaires, and interview. The results show that the students with high speaking proficiency have higher motivation and use all kinds of strategies in the same frequency. Meanwhile, the students with low speaking proficiency use metacognitive, cognitive, and memory strategies. However, they did not use these strategies with the same frequency, where the lowest percentage of strategies used were affective and compensatory. The results suggest that students should choose learning strategies based on their needs. Students should use all learning strategies to improve their speaking skills. The implications and suggestions of the research are also discussed.

Abstract

Trauma is a psychological disorder that can impact the dynamics of connections between generations and is emotionally inherited in generations.  Individual and intergenerational trauma is the primary themes that drive conflict within the Madrigal family in the animated film “Encanto”. This study examines the recovery processes portrayed in the movie and determines the psychological effects of trauma on individuals and their families using Caruth's trauma theory and Hirsch's intergenerational trauma theory. The method used is descriptive in which the researchers collect data through film observation, theoretical studies, and analysis of scenes and dialog that depict trauma and the recovery process. The findings demonstrated how Abuela's character's trauma from her husband's death led to psychological distress and heightened standards within the Madrigal family, which in turn affected other family members. This dynamic serves as an example of the trauma cycle that does not only causes people to become isolated but also prevents their ability to develop personally within the family context. The movie portrays a process of recovery that enables family members to go from feeling alienated to feeling united through admissions and shared memories.
