Abstract

Background: The ability to adapt, imitate and modify knowledge in a learning context into another learning context is an important ability for students. However, the ability of pre-service English teachers to adapt their knowledge and skills from one course to other courses has not been studied. This research seeks to find out how pre-service English teachers in one state university in Indonesia adapt knowledge and skills acquired in the Syllabus Design (SD) and Developing EFL Materials (DEM) courses into ESP Program Design (ESP PD) and ESP Materials Development (ESP MD) courses. Methodology: This research is a mixed quantitative and qualitative study involving 54 students who have taken SD, DEM, ESP PD and ESP MD courses in 2022 in a state university in Indonesia. Fifteen of them also took part in a focus group discussion. Their answers to the semi-open questionnaire asking whether the 16 knowledge and skills learned in SD and DEM courses had been adapted were analyzed in a simple quantitative manner with percentages and modes. While the results of focus group discussion about how they adapted them were analyzed qualitatively for themes.Findings: The results of this study show that 15 knowledge and skills in SD and DEM courses were adapted by students into ESP PD and ESP MD courses. The participants adapted them by changing the context of the syllabus and materials the developed in SD and DEM from English at school to English for specific purposes in ESP PD and ESP MD especially when formulating learning objectives. They also developed general English materials into ESP English materials for certain occupations. These findings indicate that students master the contexts of ESP PD and ESP MD.Conclusion: It can be concluded that pre-service English teachers have excellent adaptation skills, which are done not by force, but by choice, to the peripheral component and for the benefit of students. Originality: This is the contribution of this research to students’ learning theory in ESP in English teacher education to add to Leko’s (2015) Evidence by Practice (EBP) theory.

Abstract

Background: Using speech acts in the learning process by teachers and preservice teachers is inevitable. However, there are still many preservice EFL teachers who need help to use these speech acts effectively. This study aims to determine the use of directive speech acts and the reasoning by three Female EFL Preservice Teachers (FEPT). Methodology: This research was conducted on three female students participating in the Practical Field Experience II program at three Samarinda Vocational High Schools. To collect data, the researcher observed three FEPT people carrying out the teaching and learning process by recording videos. Then, to get reasons for using the speech acts, the researcher conducted interviews with them. Findings: This study found six types of speech acts: asking, requesting, advising, begging, commanding, and forbidding. The most used speech is asking. Then, the reason for using these speech acts is to make students more active and able to follow the lesson well in class. Conclusion: This study concluded the importance of mastering pragmatic competence by FEPT before teaching and learning. By mastering these competencies, FEPT could effectively carry out the teaching and learning process. Originality: This finding complements a large amount of previous literature on the use of directive speech acts by teachers and EFL preservice teachers. By examining the use of directive speech acts by female EFL preservice teachers, the researcher hopes to complement the lack of research on this topic.

Abstract

Background: As technology advances and online learning becomes increasingly prevalent, consideration of students' metacognitive skills grows in importance. This study aims to provide insight into the influence of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) on the academic outcomes of English students while examining the dominant component within SRL and assessing whether there is a relationship between the use of SRL and gender. Methodology: The research involved 123 students from the English Department of Universitas Negeri Manado (Unima), located in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. An adjusted questionnaire was utilized in a web-based survey to explore the use of SRL amid blended learning settings. Findings: The statistical analysis revealed a positive relationship between SRL and the learning outcomes of the students in the blended learning environment. In particular, students predominantly used achievement orientation as their SRL component in the blended learning environment, while gender differences in the use of SRL strategies were found to be statistically insignificant. Conclusion: As a result, this study highlights the importance of self-regulated learning in the improvement of student outcomes in a blended learning environment. The prominence of performance orientation is a noteworthy aspect of SRL application. Additionally, the lack of notable gender-based disparities in the utilization of SRL implies a level of equality in the educational setting. Originality: This study aims to fill an important gap in current understanding by exploring the complex relationship between SRLs, gender and blended environments among English language learners. By investigating the dynamics of effective learning strategies in the current digital age, this study aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence academic success and pave the way for targeted educational interventions.

Abstract

Background: Gender has become a crucial area of research due to the unpleasant experience of gender disparity in the workplace, home, and other settings, including education, health, and civic engagement. The ideal way to promote gender equality early on is to guarantee everyone access to a high-quality education. The learning process is greatly aided by textbooks. Through language, visuals, stories, and illustrations, gender content is developed and represented in books. Given that the textbook serves as the primary means of instruction, it is crucial to examine how gender is constructed in Kontakte Deutsch 1, the widely used textbook in Indonesia. Methodology: A descriptive qualitative methodology was used in this study's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach. The research data source was from illustrations, words, and stories in the textbook Kontakte Deutsch 1. Findings: The results showed that male and female figures appeared visually at the same frequency. In categories like social roles, passions, and professional choices, gender equality was noted and portrayed. Inequalities such as stereotyping, gender subordination, and marginalization of gender were still present in a tiny proportion of phrases and narratives. Conclusion: This study demonstrated how the authors of Kontakte Deutsch 1 made an effort to advance gender equality principles through linked topics. Gender discrimination only appeared in a minor portion of the story. Originality: There have been no studies on gender reconstruction in Kontakte Deutsch 1, commonly used in Indonesian high schools. This thorough investigation deepens our understanding of how gender is portrayed in instructional materials and emphasizes the significance of treating all genders equally and respectfully.

Methodology: Convergent parallel mixed-methods was employed with 40 students as participants in this research. The data used was tests, documents, observation, and interview which analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively through statistical Wilcoxon signed ranks test, coding, and thematic analysis. Findings: Mobile applications used in this research were YouTube, Tiktok, Instagram, Duolingo, Talk, Elsa, Seesaw, Cake, Pixton, Speech to Text, and Capcut. The implementation process was divided into 5 stages; planning stage, implementation stage, evaluation stage, reflection stage, and follow-up stage. The pre-test and post-test results showed that the value of the asymptotic sign (2-tailed) 0.000 < 0.05 indicated that the use of mobile applications could greatly enhance students' speaking skill. The students’ perception showed that mobile applications in the classroom made learning more convenient, students could use them to practice English skills, complete assignments, find out information, or even receive the materials their lecturers offer them. Conclusion: The use of technology, such as mobile applications, can be a useful aid in the study of the English language, giving students more exposures, practices, and individualized instructions. Originality: This research reveals the implementation, effectiveness, and students' perceptions of mobile applications used in digital project-based learning. It is possible to maximize the benefits and minimize the drawbacks.

Abstract

Background: The teaching of language-related skills in universities and colleges needs to equip students with relevant skills suitable for work after graduation. One way of building students’ skills to meet the related industry’s demands is by adopting project based learning (PBL) in teaching. There have been several studies on the topic of PBL in translation courses, but none of them have provided a step-by-step classroom procedure. Methodology: The study was a case study to describe the model of project-based learning adopted in the English Department of one Polytechnic in Java island, Indonesia. The object of the study was the Localization and Transcreation class. The data sources included the teacher and 24 sixth-semester students taking the class. Questionnaires and interview were used for the data collection. The questionnaires were used to know the students’ perceived competences. The interview was used to get more information on how the PBL was conducted and students’ further opinion about it. Before a class was started, the students were asked to fill in the provided questionnaire on the status of their competence at the time. Then, the PBL was employed to teach the class. After the PBL was done, the students were asked to fill in the same questionnaire to report their competences at the time. The researcher analyzed the results. Finally, an interview was conducted with the teacher and three students who answered the questionnaire most comprehensively. Findings: The findings of this study show that PBL could be employed to teach translation in vocational higher education and the students saw PBL positively. Based on the students’ opinion, this research found that PBL in the translation class helped students develop their translation skills, teamwork skills, workplace skills, communication skills, and self-confidence. Conclusion: In conclusion, PBL employed in the translation class has shown its effectiveness in improving students’ translation and other competences. Originality: The Ministry of National Education of the Republic of Indonesia has promoted project-based learning. To date, no clear model has been developed for the teaching of translation in Indonesian universities. This article describes project-based learning developed and practiced in a Polytechnic and how students react and the improvement of their competences or skills.
