Abstract

Critical literacy skills are essential for EFL students to effectively engage with and analyze diverse texts in an increasingly globalized world, yet assessing these skills in non-native English speakers presents unique challenges. This study aimed to develop and validate comprehensive rubrics for assessing critical literacy skills in EFL contexts, addressing a significant gap in current assessment practices. This study employs 4D model (Thiagarajan et al. (1974) on instructional development. It consisted of four phases: Define Phase, Design Phase, Development Phase, and Dissemination Phase. The instrument of this study was a set of a critical literacy rubrics encompassing five dimensions: clarity of format, clarity of content, clarity of scoring, readability, and clarity of language. The research participants in the current study were 50 students of English Language Education Study Program, two Critical Reading lecturers, and two experts as the instrument validators. The rubrics demonstrated sensitivity to different proficiency levels and effectively captured the multifaceted nature of critical literacy in EFL contexts. This study contributes a validated, comprehensive tool for assessing EFL students' critical literacy skills, with significant implications for enhancing critical literacy instruction, curriculum development, and further research in EFL education, ultimately equipping students with the necessary skills to become critically engaged global citizens. Keywords: critical literacy, critical literacy skills, critical literacy rubric, EFL students.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2019 compelled students to stay at home and engage in remote learning for nearly two years, giving rise to the so-called “COVID generation”—students who often face difficulties in classroom communication and anxiety when addressed by teachers. This study aims to perform a qualitative analysis of junior high school students’ perceptions of ice-breaking activities related to speaking skills, specifically the "toilet paper game" and "attendance checking questions." Primary data were collected through post-course reflection questionnaires focusing on students' experiences during the course. Six of the 45 participants were interviewed to further elaborate on their responses. Findings reveal that students largely view these activities positively, as they encourage self-expression and foster better interpersonal connections. Additionally, these activities were perceived to support students in improving their English-speaking skills.

Abstract

This study explores the perspectives of primary school English teachers in West Jakarta on native-speakerism and its impact on their teaching experiences. Native-speakerism, the belief that native speakers from Inner Circle countries are superior in language proficiency and teaching ability, continues to influence educational practices worldwide. The research investigates how this ideology shapes teachers' opinions on the value of foreign teachers, their reactions to native-speakerism in the classroom, and their personal experiences with this dominant teaching paradigm. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with three English teachers from National Plus Schools. Findings reveal that while teachers acknowledge the perceived advantages of native speakers, such as superior pronunciation and authoritative teaching materials, they also challenge the notion that nationality is a determining factor for teaching effectiveness. Teachers emphasized the importance of proficiency and motivation over nationality and accent, suggesting a more inclusive approach to language teaching. The study contributes to the growing body of literature critiquing the native-speakerism ideology and advocates for a more equitable and diverse perspective on English language teaching. Future research could examine the implications of native-speakerism at various educational levels and its influence on teacher identity and hiring practices.

Abstract

Bahasa Indonesia for Foreign Speakers (known as BIPA program) does not only teach the language, but also introduces the richness of Indonesian culture. This study aims to analyse the form and effectiveness of hands-on practical-based activities in bridging language specificity and cultural diversity in BIPA classes as well as the perceptions of BIPA students on this form of approach. This research uses qualitative methods with data collection techniques in the form of interviews with BIPA teachers and observations in BIPA classes at Udayana University Bali involving 8 students from various countries such as Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Hungary, and Argentina. The results showed that the hands-on practical-based approach had a positive impact on BIPA students’ understanding of language and culture. This hands-on practical activity provides experience, connects language with cultural context directly, and encourages appreciation of cultural diversity. In addition, these activities also enable the formation of intercultural competence and better communication skills among BIPA students. Thus, it can be concluded that the hands-on approach proved to be effective in integrating aspects of language distinctiveness and cultural diversity in BIPA learning.

Abstract

This research focuses on the learning zone in the movie The School of Good and Evil. Paul Feig is the director who directed The School for Good and Evil, which is based on Soman Chainani's novel of the same name. The main objective of the research is to determine the impact of people on Agatha's ability to learn in learning zones. Second, determine how Agatha's character develops as she moves through the comfort, learning, and panic zones. To gather and analyze data from the film, the researcher uses Creswell's qualitative methodologies, which are supported by Bogdan. This research focuses on the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) proposed by Vygotsky (1979), which Senninger further developed into a learning zone model. The research has limitations in that it only examines one of the main characters, Agatha, as a student at the School for Good. The researcher discovered that the people around Agatha influenced her as she moved through each zone she encountered. Agatha's personality and traits shift while she is in the comfort, learning, and stress zones. To recap, the individuals Agatha meets with, as well as the environment or situations around her, have a big impact on how her character alters in each zone she faces. Keywords: learning zones, character, relationship, interaction

Abstract

The needs of English materials that meet English for Specific Purposes (ESP), integrate technology, and focus on writing skills are essential for vocational school students particularly those in fashion major. The aims of this research were to: (1) describe the needs of eleventh-grade fashion students at SMK Muhammadiyah 4 Yogyakarta in English writing skills, (2) describe the development of the analytical exposition texts, and (3) describe the appropriateness of the analytical exposition texts materials developed. The research applied a Research and Development (R&D) model by Borg and Gall and simplified it into four steps, needs analysis, planning, material development, and expert judgement. The participants of the research were eleventh-grade fashion students from SMK Muhammadiyah 4 Yogyakarta. Observation, interviews, and documentation are the data collection techniques used for needs analysis. The needs analysis was served for designing a course grid and then developing a book, complemented by animated videos. Two experts validated the product using questionnaires. The evaluation results verified the appropriateness of the materials developed. The researchers conclude that, although being rarely used by fashion students, analytical exposition text can be effectively developed and utilized for fashion students, particularly through the integration of technology such as Sigil-Flip Animation and diverse methods that can enhance students' ability to write strong and logical arguments while supporting character development in line with the Pancasila student profile.
