The aimed of this research was to find out whether the probing-prompting technique was effective for the students' reading achievement. The word “Probing” means research and explore, meanwhile “prompting” means push and guide. In probing-prompting, students are required to answer the question by their own words or sentences. Two groups design was applied, and the participants were eighth students of Junior High School in Tegal. We used reading testing in collecting the data, pre and post-test were conducted. And the data analysis calculated using SPSS program. Based on data analysis using an independent sample t-test, it was revealed that the t-test was higher than t-table (4.332>1.672).

Gender stereotypes are guidelines by which a particular gender group behaves as expected based on the existing ideology in the community. Gender stereotypes that are perpetuated by popular culture usually marginalize women, following patriarchal ideology. This popular culture is consumed mostly by the younger generation as well as students. STIKES Nasional is an educational institution where most students are female, and most student organizations are led by female students. This research investigates gender stereotypes in STIKES Nasional students’ writing. This research employs textual analysis focusing on word choice on students’ writing. This study shows that students' writing still represents women as passive and also sensitive or emotional. Women are also still constructed in domestic sphere. Those constructions are implicated in activities carried out by women. On the other hand, men are represented as brave, rational, active, and assertive. Men are also constructed to be in public sphere. Those male constructions are also implicated in men's occupation. Based on the results, it can be concluded that students’ writing affirms the patriarchal gender stereotypes that marginalize women. Patriarchal ideology is still strongly embedded in STIKES Nasional students, though female students dominate in STIKES Nasional.

To prepare students for education 4.0, Indonesian government has mandated that HOTS are taught in every level of education. The research aimed to discover how English teachers implemented HOTS in their teaching strategies. HOTS are promoted in the 2013 curriculum in which English teachers should develop their strategies to implement these skills through student-centered learning instead of teacher-centered learning that may be a common phenomenon for teachers in Indonesia.

Compared to other language skills, listening is a language skill that is often ignored and forgotten in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) classes. Thus, there should be more room for teaching listening in EAP classes. Extensive listening (EL) could be one alternative that English teachers can do to give more room for teaching listening. This descriptive study investigated 19 EAP students' perceptions of an EL program. Research data showed that most students have positive perceptions of EL. EL provides a fun but meaningful activity for students. Most of the students agree that EL can improve their listening fluency and vocabulary and expose them to various English accents. In addition, they state that EL helps them become more confident to talk to other people in English and they want to do EL in the future although nobody asks them. Therefore, EL is a promising program to be implemented in EAP classes.

This paper explored the mispronunciations produced by Indonesian graduate students in their presentation projects. The data were collected from presentation projects of 11 graduate students of the English Education Master’s Program of Sanata Dharma University. The researchers used a document analysis as a technique to analyze the data. Results showed that 89 mispronunciations existed in the presentation projects. The mispronunciations were categorized into three types of errors, namely: 26 mispronunciations belonged to the first type, the problems in the pronunciation of non-native sound; 36 mispronunciations belonged to the second type, the carry-over of pronunciation regularities from the mother tongue (L1); and 27 mispronunciations belonged to the third type, the overgeneralizations of target language (L2) regularities. It is expected that the findings can become a stepping stone for graduate students to improve their English pronunciation.
