Abstract

The use of another language can cause barriers to transferring ideas from one language to another, such as grammatical challenges. It happens when the structures for delivering information are different within languages. Grammatical challenges can also occur for Indonesian EFL users. To combat this, various media are continuously developed to assist with language learning and give exposure to the English language in use. Games are an example of excellent learning sources that provide texts, descriptions, and stories. However, games might not be developed by natives and could potentially contain errors. Yet, previous research rarely conducted grammatical error analysis on games. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the grammatical challenges within the Code Atma game. This study used document analysis to evaluate the grammatical accuracy of the passages in Code Atma. The findings showed that there were 630 grammatical errors, with verb errors accounting for the highest percentage and incomplete sentences for the lowest. is-selection was the type with the highest number of errors, while blends were the lowest. The implications of this study are the improvement of the game’s grammatical aspect, the use of games as EFL learning sources, and the identification of grammatical errors using error analysis.

Abstract

This research aimed to explore the challenges faced by student teachers during Teaching Practice II and examine their strategies for developing language awareness through lesson plan creation. The study employed documentation and interviews as data collection techniques, employing a qualitative case study approach for analysis. The findings revealed several challenges encountered by the students while creating their lesson plans. Firstly, in the Effective Domain, students faced difficulties in writing comprehensive lesson plans and expressed apprehension about making mistakes. Secondly, within the Power Domain, students displayed a lack of interest in identifying indicators and objectives within their lesson plans. Furthermore, in the Cognitive Domain, students encountered challenges in utilizing Bloom's Taxonomy vocabulary effectively. Lastly, within the Performance Domain, students encountered issues in structuring sentences correctly and made grammatical errors in their indicators and objectives. To develop language awareness and create appropriate lesson plans, the researchers identified five strategies employed by the students. Firstly, students needed to cultivate an awareness of natural English usage. Secondly, seeking guidance and consultation from their supervisors or teaching trainers proved beneficial. Thirdly, familiarizing themselves with the lesson plan format at the beginning of Teaching Practice II was essential. Additionally, students should revise their lesson plans based on feedback received from supervisors and teaching trainers. Finally, developing the ability to identify the taxonomies within Bloom's Taxonomy was crucial.
