Abstract

Proficiency in writing in English has been a very important skill for undergraduates especially English as second language learners (ESL). However, it is the most challenging language skill to be acquired by the students not only in second (L2) or foreign language (FL) but also in the first language (L1). This is due to its complexity. Some scholars describe writing as a cognitive and social process. Various studies have been conducted on how to improve students’ writing skills. It is shown that supporting students in a writing process enhances their writing skills. For example, teachers are expected to give cognitive and social supports to students to allow them to improve their writing. This study reveals the strategies used by tutors in facilitating students’ writing process in a problem-based learning environment (PBL) through face-to-face group interactions. is one of the social media platforms found interesting and used by most of the students to interact with one another in and out of the school environment. It is used to provide social support to the students. An intact class of 18 second-year students in an English Composition course in Nigeria was selected in the study. The students were provided with a guide by tutors during the PBL writing process. Two tutors facilitated the students’ writing process in the PBL process. Tutor facilitation is one of the major components that facilitate meaningful learning in PBL. This is because, without proper guidance, students would end up in unfocused learning. Data were obtained through audio- and video-recording of students’ face-to-face interactions chats. The findings showed that the PBL tutors used various strategies to facilitate the participants’ writing such as open-ended questioning, metacognitive questioning, pushing students for an explanation, revoicing, summarizing, and generating/evaluating hypotheses. The support provided by the tutors helped the students to improve their writing. The findings of the study suggest some ways for teachers to improve students writing skills.

Abstract

Type Undergraduate thesis writing necessitates EFL students to self-regulate themselves, particularly in overcoming the difficulties they encounter and maintaining their motivation. To date, there has been little research on EFL undergraduate students’ self-regulation, help-seeking, and motivation-regulation in thesis writing, especially in Asian context. Under explanatory mixed-method framework, this research aimed to investigate how Indonesian EFL undergraduate students self-regulated their thesis writing process and to what extent their self-regulation assisted them to seek help and regulate their motivation. The results showed that the students generally demonstrated a high level of self-regulation, help-seeking, and motivation-regulation. Furthermore, it was revealed that self-regulation had a positive, significant, and moderate correlation with help-seeking (r=.461), and a positive, significant, and high correlation with motivation-regulation (r=.648). The findings suggested that self-regulation, help-seeking, and motivation-regulation were important for students to finish their challenging undergraduate thesis. However, even when the overall measured results were good, the support from other people including from the university staff were needed, especially in cultivating students’ self-regulatory mechanism. This research offers implications for the university and thesis advisors.

Abstract

The use of songs as a media for learning has long been favored by both teachers and students in kindergarten. However, whether using songs as a learning media will be effective for improving students’ vocabulary both in depth and breadth as well as improving their foreign language skills still needs further investigations. This study aims to determine and investigate whether songs can help children improve and develop vocabulary and their foreign languages. This research was taken by means of a test conducted on children in kindergarten. Several pre-test and test will be conducted to measure the child's ability to master L2. Songs can make student or children pay attention to the material. In this study, I will use two songs. After listening to the songs, the student will write the words that they listened and then check the words that they were familiar or not. The group participating in the study was 20 children in kindergarten aged 5-6 years, who have used songs as learning media. In this study, the students speak with their mother language and English is learned as a foreign language. The ability of children in L2 can be measured through tests that are tested on children. Some pre-test and test conducted are proven to be able to measure a child's ability to memorize vocabulary in L2. However, several obstacles may be found in this research. As expected with the research conducted, can make children learn and build interest in learning a foreign language and memorizing or even mastering a foreign language.

Abstract

The pivotal role textbooks play in teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) is undeniable. A great number of studies have focused on English language textbook evaluation by adopting various approaches. Employing Vande Kopple’s (1985) taxonomy of metadiscourse (MD), the present study aimed at building on the existing knowledge of MD through analyzing the writing sections of three EFL coursebooks at intermediate and advanced levels to identify the frequency of MD devices and also whether they put more emphasis on textual or interpersonal MD. Whether the coursebooks presented the discourse markers explicitly or implicitly was also one of the goals of the current study. In-depth analysis of the coursebooks revealed that some categories of MD were more common than others. Textual MD, it was found, enjoyed the highest frequency of use in all the coursebooks. Moreover, coursebooks tended to present discourse markers implicitly, mostly. The findings have implications for teachers, which are discussed at the end.

Abstract

Announcement board in the city is somehow disturbing because of the illogical linguistic rules therefore it does not support the development of the smart city.The banned boards are indicated to have less educative meaning because they contain elements of swearing, diatribe, bad prayer, and spelling and writing errors. The role of the government in this matter that is responsible for making writing standards and the contents of prohibition boards and notice boards must be in line with the standard rules of language. Therefore, the researcher wants to collaborate with the City Planning Office, which in this case is responsible for arranging the prohibition and announcement boards in the municipal, regency, and sub-district cities in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. Therefore, the view of Sociology studies is needed to recommend the concept of an ecology city based on smart city. The research method used is mixed method, namely qualitative research conducted  by interviewing the local community and quantitative research by conducting a questionnaire and counting the prohibition boards and announcements that are indicated not in accordance with the language rules.

Abstract

In language teaching and learning, there are several methodologies and approaches; one of them is Task-Based Learning. Since the 1980s, this approach has had the most pedagogical attention in second language pedagogy. Task-based Learning is becoming increasingly common worldwide, particularly in English classes in Indonesia. The task's goal is to establish a clear reason for language use and create a natural meaning for language learning. The ideas and principles of Task-based Learning have proven to be effective in classrooms. This paper aims to explain why teachers should implement Task-Based Learning (TBL) in the language classroom and how to implement TBL during classroom instruction. The discussion begins with the introduction and the description of TBL. Then, it goes on TBL characteristics and continues with the approaches, the benefits, and framework of TBL.
