Abstract

Literacy practice describes how people interact with text or use written language according to their values. There are several ways to express literacy, one of which is literacy as individualism (William & Zenger, 2007, p. 127). It primarily focuses on individuals' uniqueness and how it alienates them from people in general. This theory is in line with Greta Gerwig’s Little Women (2019), which features numerous events on literacy practices. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate how Jo March's individualism in Gerwig's Little Women (2019) is illustrated through literacy. The conceptual framework is based on the New Literacy Studies (NLS) perspective of literacy as a social practice as well as using Williams and Zenger's (2007, p. 127) theory of literacy as individualism. This study aims to illustrate how Jo March represents literacy as individualism. The study's conclusions ultimately show that Jo March's individualism can be reflected through literacy under her routines of reading books, writing short stories, composing a novel, and writing letters as well as receiving letters from her family in the film.

Abstract

The nature influence of speaking anxiety on foreign language (FL) learning settings has been established. In addition, research acknowledges the relevance of speaking performance in affecting individual predisposition to experience anxious feelings. However, few studies examine the Indonesian college students' anxiety influencing factors, mainly when speaking English. Data strategies employed a parallel design combining quantitative and qualitative methods mixing a closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaire with an in-depth interview. Twenty-eight college students responded online via Google Form to the questionnaire, while in addition, the in-depth interviews lasted 45-60 minutes with six college students. The results indicate that learning situations in classroom activities revolve around how teachers teach, college students' self-confidence, belief in language learning experiences, and excessive learning material are nature-related prominence factors of college students' anxiety in speaking English. In contrast, a lack of college students' preparation has no effect. Examined are the means through which this research contributes to the advancement of understanding and comprehension of previously unidentified components that influence college students' speaking anxiety.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the impact of the BBC Learning English application on listening skills among 10th-grade students in a computerized academic setting. The study involved 46 students from MAS TPI Sawit Seberang, divided into two groups of 23 students each. The experimental group utilized the BBC Learning English application, while the control group received traditional instruction. Employing a quasi-experimental design with pre-tests and post-tests, the experimental group also completed a questionnaire. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences (α = 0.05) in post-test listening scores, favoring the experimental group. Additionally, "strongly agree" and "agree" were the most common responses regarding the application’s usability, indicating a positive effect on students' attitudes. The findings suggest practical applications for integrating technology into English language instruction, highlighting the potential of digital tools like the BBC Learning English application to enhance listening skills. This study contributes to the theoretical framework of English Language Teaching by demonstrating the effectiveness of technology-mediated learning and its impact on student engagement and skill development. Therefore, incorporating the BBC Learning English application into listening skills instruction is recommended.

Abstract

This study responds to the imperative for ELT’s explicit contribution to environmental sustainability. This study proposed and developed an ecomusicology instruction about Earth in ELT, exploring its impacts on EFL students’ nature connectedness and interests. Using mixed-method convergent research design, 11 participants, third-semester students in an English education department in Surabaya, Indonesia (comprising 3 males and 8 males, aged above 18) experienced the instruction for more than a week. Pre- and post-test surveys were administered to obtain quantitative data which were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Post-instruction, the students completed open-ended questionnaires for qualitative insights. Integrated results of quantitative and qualitative analyses revealed improvements in students’ nature connectedness and interests. The results suggest that the use of ecomusicology in teaching environmental issues in English lessons enhances EFL students’ unity with nature and strong nature interests. These results highlight a new avenue for the ELT field to address environmental issues by developing future citizens’ (EFL students) environmental sustainability values: nature connectedness and interests through ecomusicology instruction.

Abstract

There are several psychological factors that can affect the development of students' speaking skills in English. This study was conducted with the aim of finding out what psychological factors affect the development of students' speaking skills in English when learning speaking in class. This research uses descriptive qualitative method, where data collection was carried out through observation and interview with some private junior high school students in grade 7 with ICO (International Class Orientation) class program. The results of this study show that there are four factors that can hinder students in developing and also mastering speaking skills, namely anxiety or shyness, lack of confidence, lack of motivation, and fear of making mistakes. These four psychological factors have a negative impact on students during the speaking learning process. Therefore, the findings of this study imply that parents and teachers should help students understand that making mistakes is a necessary part of learning and that they can take advantage of these opportunities to grow as communicators. In order to give students the chance to practice speaking English without worrying about making mistakes, the teacher must also foster a supportive environment in the classroom.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Universitas Jenderal Soedirman's self-values within the Fundamental Translation course. Known as Jati Diri Unsoed, these institutional values are part of a mandatory subject for all enrolled students. The research sought to evaluate the extent to which character education at the university level has been effectively implemented. The methodology began by asking students to engage in translation tasks and address the challenges encountered during the process, thereby revealing their character traits. This also enabled the lecturer to guide students toward appropriate and thoughtful solutions. Using purposive sampling, selected students’ translations were analyzed by comparing the source and target texts and aligning them with the four core values of Jati Diri Unsoed: intelligence, honesty, strength, and caring. The analysis identified several translation challenges and the techniques employed to resolve them, including amplification, implicitation, correction, addition, and other common translation issues. The findings demonstrate that the ways students addressed these challenges reflect the values of intelligence, honesty, and caring. The study concludes that character education can be effectively integrated into various academic subjects through the application of appropriate pedagogical approaches, methods, and techniques.

Abstract

Teachers’ feedback is important as it provides a starting point for improvement. This study explored teachers’ feedback in the contexts of In-Service Teacher Professional Education Program (Pendidikan Profesi guru Dalam Jabatan/PPG-DalJab). The participants were eight teachers joining the program in 2021. The leading question for the inquiry is related to the feedback the teachers used and how the use of different feedback reflected their feedback literacy. The data were collected from the participants in the form of video recordings of participating teachers’ classes, reflective discussions with the mentor, and documents related to their teaching practice. The data were analyzed for their emerging themes related to feedback given by the teachers during their teachings. This process involved, data coding, identification, and classification of the feedback. The findings indicate that the dominant types of feedback used by the teachers were evaluative feedback, interactional feedback, motivational feedback and corrective feedback. Considering the findings, it is important that English teachers should be aware about their feedback in the classroom for more effective teaching. More importantly, the findings also implied the importance of feedback literacy for teacher professional growth.
