Abstract

As educators, lecturers should integrate sufficient reading materials that could foster not only students’ reading comprehension, critical thinking, or vocabulary mastery, but also local wisdom awareness. Thus, this research focuses on integrating local wisdom, Berau Folklore, into English learning. Specifically, this research aims to: (1) describe the planning stage for using Berau folklore to enhance student’s awareness about local wisdom, (2) explain its use in English practice and media preparation, (3) explain the assessment process, and (4) evaluate its effectiveness as reading material. This study employs exploratory sequential mixed method design. The instruments used were interview, classroom observation, document analysis, and tests. The interview was constructed based on the theory of Bamford and Day (2004) whereas the observation was adopted and modified from Ferdila (2014). The pre-test and post-test were given to 15 tertiary students at STITM Tanjung Redeb, Berau who took the  Extensive Reading class. The implementation of Berau folklore into reading class, involved the stages of pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading. However, the tests scores indicate that the use of Berau Folklore is considered ineffective as reading materials for tertiary students. Particularly, it did not significantly increase students’ vocabulary. Thus, this study can be a reference for further researchers to find and employ another learning material other than folklore to foster students’ vocabulary mastery and cultural awareness.

Abstract

This study explores the role of metacognitive strategies in improving the IELTS scores of Australian Award Scholarship (AAS) awardees from Aceh, addressing a gap in research on effective preparation methods for high-stakes English language tests. The research aims to identify how metacognitive strategies enhance the IELTS preparation process and to determine which specific strategies are most beneficial for achieving higher scores. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from questionnaires and qualitative insights from interviews and observations with AAS awardees. Participants' engagement in planning, monitoring, and evaluating their learning processes was analyzed.The findings indicate that the use of metacognitive strategies significantly improved the IELTS scores of the participants. Key strategies included detailed planning of study schedules, setting clear goals, continuous progress monitoring, and reflective practices to adjust learning methods. The study concludes that metacognitive strategies are highly effective in enhancing IELTS preparation, leading to better academic outcomes. This research highlights the critical role of metacognitive strategies in language learning and test preparation, providing a structured approach that helps learners stay motivated and adapt their methods for better results. The findings offer valuable insights for students, educators, and policymakers, emphasizing the need to integrate metacognitive strategy training into English language programs. This approach can enhance the effectiveness of IELTS preparation courses, leading to improved educational outcomes and contributing to the development of language education in society.
