Abstract

This research aimed to test whether or not teacher-made vocabulary exercises in Instagram stories have a significant positive effect on students’ vocabulary achievement. Therefore, a quasi-experimental research design was applied. The researcher conducted this study during the Ramadhan period with 48 students as the sample participants. They were divided into two groups, experimental and control groups. The researcher taught each group in about two meetings, and most of the time was dedicated to the students to learn vocabulary. They learned vocabulary by doing an exercise provided by the researcher. However, one thing that made them different was the treatment. In learning vocabulary, teacher-made Instagram stories were used as the treatment for the experimental group, while the control group only used the regular tests. After that, all groups did a post-test in the form of multiple-choice. Based on the post-test result, the experimental group gained a mean score of 61.25 and 76.87 for the control group. Then, the researcher used SPSS to analyze the data by employing an independent sample t-test to make a valid conclusion. The result showed that the value of Sig. 2-tailed was lower than 0.05 (0.001<0.05), indicating a significant difference in mean score between the experimental and control group. However, the t value was negative (-3.476). It means that there is no significant positive effect of using teacher-made vocabulary exercises in Instagram stories on students’ vocabulary achievement.

Abstract

With the advent of technology, cultural diversities have encouraged language teachers in tertiary education to push the current pedagogical boundaries to seek the best fits for cultural learning, despite the little emphasis on interculturality in day-to-day language learning. Entrenched to Byram’s intercultural learning, this case study explored Indonesian tertiary EFL learners’ perspectives of their intercultural learning through digital literature circles (henceforth DLC) within the context of tertiary education. Forty-five freshmen were involved in reflective culturally-laden DLC, during three months of an Extensive Reading course. Research data were garnered from focus group discussion (FGD) and students’ reading logs in their DLC role sheets. Drawing on qualitative content analysis, this study has acknowledged that DLC evokes consciousness-raising, comparative interpretation, and criticality associated with intercultural communicative competence (ICC). Students voice the critical cultural awareness stemming from such transactional reading, manifest in richer propositions and ideas, deeper understanding of foreign and home cultures, and critical evaluation and reflection on cultures. The study corroborates the technological and socio-constructivist affordances of DLC to empower intercultural learning.

Abstract

While numerous studies have examined foreign language speaking anxiety at the university setting, research focusing on younger learners remains limited. This study addresses that gap by exploring the triggers and coping strategies to mitigate foreign language speaking anxiety among junior high school students. Exploring these two areas provides the avenue for wider opportunities of reaching higher proficiency levels at later stages, while allowing the identification of age- and gender-supportive coping strategies. Employing a mixed-method design, data were gleaned from questionnaires and semi-structured interviews involving six students—three male and three female—recruited after pondering their high rate of anxiety as measured by the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS). A content analysis revealed seven primary causes of anxiety: lack of vocabulary, performing in front of the class, fear of being laughed at, fear of making mistakes, fear of mispronouncing a word, fear of being the focus of attention, and fear of failure in English tests. Students adopted various coping strategies, including self-reassurance, calming techniques, and peer support. These findings highlight the need for teachers to recognize anxiety symptoms and implement fun and supportive strategies in the classroom. This study seeks to facilitate the students in overcoming and reducing the English-speaking anxiety they experienced during classroom practice. Due to the absence of in-depth investigation on the strategies to address anxiety, future researchers are advised to investigate the strategies that students engage in regulating their foreign language speaking anxiety and identify the coping mechanisms found most impactful in reducing anxiety levels.
