Abstract

In Indonesian context, teachers’ competencies in terms of set of knowledge, skills, and behaviors are explicitly stated in the Indonesian Law No. 14/2005 on Lecturers and Teachers. Some previous studies dealing with teachers’ professional development have been conducted by some researchers. They have focused on investigating teachers’ efforts to improve their professional competence in the domain of academic qualification. Some studies also have focused on identifying effective teachers. However, little studies have scrutinized how the teachers’ professional development is improved through Teachers Forum. This present study investigated English teachers’ viewpoints on their involvement in the Teacher Forum and how it was contributive on their professional development in carrying out their professional tasks. This Ethnographic- Qualitative study involved the chief and four members of Teachers Forum. The data were collected through interview and they were analyzed applying the procedures suggested by Spradley (1979) covering domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, componential analysis, and theme analysis. The findings revealed that the participants had a good perception on the Teachers Forum for it was potential for them to develop their pedagogical competence. The contributions supporting the pedagogical competence from routine involvement and development programs of the Teachers Forum were 1) understanding and caring of the students’ uniqueness, conducting teaching and learning activities (setting instructional objectives, doing teaching activities, assessing students’ performance), 2) selecting ICT-based teaching media, conducting researches, doing self-teaching reflection, and 3) guiding the students to improve their English performance

Abstract

The objective of this research is to evaluate whether the activities of two nationally-recognized English textbooks satisfy the GBA (Genre-Based Approach) and the three aspects of national curriculum, involving knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The data of the research rely on the learning-teaching activities in the two English textbooks used in Class VII, VIII, and IX of Junior High Schools in Indonesia. The sources of data are taken purposively to find five different genres involving description, recount, procedure, narrative, and report. The bases of the evaluation of the book activities are derived from GBA teaching and learning processes which include the completeness, appropriate sequence, and the ampleness of the activities in satisfying the integrations of the three aspects of the national curriculum, GBA activities and language levels activities as realized in general activities. The findings indicate that the activities in the two books can be classified into two patterns. Pattern 1, in general, satisfies the completeness of the GBA and three language levels activities. However, they lack of the appropriate sequences and ampleness of the GBA and language levels and therefore, they miss the integration of the three aspects of curriculum. Pattern 2 do not satisfy all of the three bases of evaluation including completeness, appropriate sequence and ampleness of GBA and language levels activities. Therefore, the activities of the two textbooks need to be redesigned according to the integration of the three aspects of the national curriculum and the completeness, appropriate sequence, and ampleness of the GBA and language levels activities.

The data were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. Findings: It was revealed that six assessment techniques were revealed including video projects, group presentations, essay writing, online tests, summarizing, and giving comments on online discussions. Moreover, seven learning platforms were found to be used by the participants with Zoom as the highest choice with 86.2%. Last, three main challenges of assessing students online were uncovered through interview data which include lack of face-to-face interactions, lack of supporting teaching and learning facilities, and lack of students’ integrity and honesty. Conclusion: Various techniques and platforms for students’ assessments were used by lecturers. However, a number of challenges were also found to show that not only do online assessments provide positive but also negative contribution towards students’ performance in assessments.

Abstract

Background: Children from low socioeconomic backgrounds in Indonesia have been facing challenges in terms of their literacy and language development. One of the possible reasons is that they are not used to receiving meaningful early reading interventions such as shared reading during their pre-school attendance. This phenomenon has brought to light the urgency of having an early intervention, which can accommodate the very diverse linguistic and cultural context of Indonesia- a multilingual and multicultural country. Methodology: This study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-method research design. The first phase was conducted in a quantitative one-group pre-experiment with pre-and post-test design. The second phase of this research was carried out in a qualitative case study through classroom observation and informal interviews with the teacher and the children. Findings: The findings of MLU calculation showed that for the pre-test, the mean score was 2.35, the median was 2.20 and the standard deviation was 0.53. Meanwhile, for the post-test, the mean score was 3.72, the median was 3.18 and the standard deviation was 1.38. The qualitative phase explored two main aspects, namely the implementation of dialogic reading activity by the teacher and the teacher as well as children’s opinions regarding the dialogic reading activity. Conclusion: This current study has offered an insight that dialogic reading activity could be well implemented by the teacher in a typical Indonesian pre-school setting. The dialogic reading activity was also found to contribute significantly to the development of children’s expressive language ability. Originality: The findings of this study have indicated dialogic reading potentials in terms of promoting children’s language development and just as importantly, sparking children’s joy of reading since their early years of formal education. Therefore, it is suggested that early childhood educators and parents work hand in hand to incorporate dialogic reading activity into their daily literacy practices at schools as well as at home.

Abstract

Background: Recent developments in reading theory emphasize the significance of an interactive approach to reading comprehension in EFL contexts. This study investigates the role of teacher questioning strategies in promoting effective reading comprehension in EFL classrooms. Methodology: This qualitative classroom research studied teacher questioning and students' responses in reading comprehension classes using non-participant observation and interviews to assess the effectiveness of EFL teacher questioning. Findings: EFL teachers in reading classes used closed and open forms of display and referential questions. They employed questioning strategies such as translation, repetition, and pausing. Modifications included probing and rephrasing to improve students' engagement and comprehension. Conclusion: In conclusion, the study found that EFL teachers in reading comprehension courses used a range of effective questioning techniques, including translation, repetition, pausing, probing, and rephrasing, to enhance student engagement and comprehension. However, the use of complex or punishing questions can impede effective questioning. Originality: The novelty of this study lies in investigating the types of questions and strategies employed by EFL teachers in reading comprehension courses. Additionally, the study provides insight into the relationships among the different types of questions and strategies, and their effects on student engagement and comprehension.
