Abstract

Issues about education in the urban areas and rural areas are crucial in the Indonesian context. The reason is the differentiation of the quality of the Indonesia education across the country because of those areas. During their practice, English teachers in that area face many limitations that hinder the process of teaching and learning. This case study aimed to explore two English teachers’ challenges in teaching in rural areas of Indonesia and how they overcome those challenges to maximize their role as a teacher through their teaching reflection on interview and document analysis. This is significant for giving the teachers’ views on facing the challenges in every condition of teaching English and for giving a picture to the government about the real condition of teaching English in the rural areas. The result showed that English teachers tried to deal with their own teaching condition and institution, their students, and socio-cultural conditions around them. As the solution, teachers overcome those problems by strengthening their roles as a teacher and understanding social pedagogy. However, there is still a need for English teachers to get more training related to their job in teaching English in rural areas.

Abstract

Concern about global conditions due to war, famine, and disease prompted President Jokowidodo to make a state visit to Russia and Ukraine, the two largest exporters of fertilizer and wheat in the world. This study aims to analyze the speech act of Jokowidodo's press statement during a state visit to Moscow on June 30, 2022. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The data was obtained by observing the video of Jokowi's press statement during a state visit to Moscow. The transcribed data were then grouped according to the order in which the press conference was delivered. The data were analyzed using Austin's speech act theory (1962) and Searle's (1979). Research shows that there are three types of speech acts in Jokowi's press statement, expressive speech acts, assertive speech acts (affirming and informing), and directive speech acts (influence, invite and convince). Although not explicitly stated, the speech act of Jokowi's press statement has a noble purpose and goal: to encourage countries that are in conflict to resolve conflicts by peaceful resolution.

Abstract

This study examined the challenges both teachers and students in implementation of teaching and learning ESP. It focuses on mastering English in students’ needs relating to the specific fields. This used a qualitative study obtaining data from questionnaires and interviews. The findings showed that the students’ vocabulary mastery was an obstacle during learning ESP. It made the students felt difficult to comprehend the materials. Moreover, the teachers are supposed to prepare the ESP materials from textbooks and articles relating to the specific fields although there were lack of sources. However, learning ESP applied the students-centered activities and built an interaction between teachers and students during discussing and practicing the ESP materials. It encouraged the students to be active for their speaking skill improvement. It also assisted the students to enhance new vocabularies relating to the specific fields. Therefore, to achieve students’ comprehension in ESP, the teachers should develop ESP materials and method of teaching in order to deliver optimally the ESP contents.

Abstract

Teaching is a prominent paraphernalia that brings numerous insights for developing learners’ competence in educational concerns. However, teaching English to non-native learners poses challenges as innovative strategies are scant. Sometimes teachers overlook the difficulties experienced by novices when they approach a new English grammatical domain. Psychological expert blind spot sporadically and intuitively develops due to teachers’ ignorance. The paper investigated strategies for mitigating and avoiding expert blind spot in teaching English attributive adjectival phrases at Khwevha High School in Limpopo Province, South Africa. Quantitative and qualitative research approaches were adopted to corroborate the findings. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 35 selected Grade 10 respondents using a simple random sampling technique. Qualitatively, semi-structured interviews were conducted on two purposely sampled schoolteachers from Dzindi Circuit, based on the researcher’s preference for obtaining an in-depth understating of the topic. Initially, learners were incompetent in using adjectives but after employing ‘points of entry’, offering ‘explanations’, presenting ‘structures’ and checking ‘comprehension’ strategies, learners improved considerably. The paper underscores using the identified strategies to mitigate and avoid the advancement of the expert blind spot in teaching English attributive adjectives.

Abstract

Communication strategies in the modern period have become progressively multimodal with technological advancement. Multimodal communication involves forming a meaning through several modes than just language. This includes verbal and non-verbal communication, such as movie poster. Movie poster is one of the most effective promotional techniques to introduce the movie to potential audiences. Movie posters feature verbal and visual language as communication modes that can be interpreted to a certain meaning, including the movie’s theme, plot, and message. The visual grammar theory by Kress and van Leeuwen (2006) propose metafunctions to analyze image, including representational meaning. In representational meaning, communication modes must be able to represent elements and their relations in a world outside of their representational system as perceived by people. This paper demonstrates how various modes in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” movie poster are integrated to represent meaning and symbolism in the movie through representational meaning.

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.

Abstract

It has become a tradition that any musician who wins an award delivers a speech to acknowledge those who contributed to the award’s success. This has led to the emergence of Awards Acceptance Speeches (AASs). Despite the recent popularity of genre analysis on professional genres, AASs as a genre, have not been researched, especially in the Ghanaian context. To this end, this paper sought to examine the generic structure of the AASs of Ghanaian musicians in the 22nd Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Ceremony. 20 AASs were sampled for the study. The study adopted Swales’ (1990) approach to move analysis, focusing on the generic structure. The analysis revealed that Thanking move was the most frequent. A 6 move-structure was identified. The study concluded with implications for successful acculturation of musicians and other entertainment industry players in their discourse communities and recommendations for further studies.
