Abstract

This research explored how EFL students perceived the implementation of self-directed learning through their process of composing travel writing. With the enhancement of the independent learning model, it had become an interesting investigation of students’ engagement in their creativity. Promoting self-directed learning through the students’ travel writing becomes one of the ultimate strategies that is potentially integrated into nowadays conditions since it addresses students to foster their learning style. This research was designed as a descriptive statistics method using self-directed learning analysis by Knowles (1975) and Garrison (1997) which was employed as the theoretical framework. A total of 17 EFL University Students who joined in creative writing class volunteered for this research to have a deep interview with comprehensive related questions through a questionnaire. Based on the creative writing class they chose; the respondents were chosen at random. The optional creative writing class, which is offered for two semesters, attracts students who are interested in improving their writing. They take several courses in the class that are focused on producing various kinds of creative writing products. The results of the study show: (i) the integration of self-directed learning in students’ travel writing encourages the improvement of student writing, (ii) there is a fostering of their cultural awareness, and (iii) a building of  their autonomous learning that covers three fundamental elements of self-directed learning, including self-management, self-monitoring, and motivation. Finally, promoting self-directed learning in students’ travel writing is incorporated properly to enhance the students learning model in an effective way for nowadays learning needs.

Abstract

Task-based teaching and learning is a boon approach in English classes nowadays to create a real practice for language use and provide a natural context for language study. This article exposes the use of task-based approach by incorporating environmental sustainability as content in translation practice. The tasks consist of three phases, pre-task, during-task, and post-task. Each phase is to enrich the student's experience in learning the novel terms along with the strategy for dealing with the difficult terms in the source text. The sample of the study is the students who participated in a translation course program from two universities. The total participants are 42 of 95 students who are available for this course session conducted in May 2022. Before pre-task, the students' preferences were collected to identify the students’ interest and expectations of the heading course. In during-task, students are asked to take notes based on their interests. After the pre-task, students presented their own experiences in completing the task. At the end of the course session, a questionnaire was given to investigate the advantage of the learning approach and students' experience in the translation course. It was observed that students use the target language to communicate with peers in doing assignments. The student's confidence, which is the key to acquiring a language, increased in using specific terms. Combination of task-based learning with appropriate content that is relevant to personal lives such as environmental sustainability increases the student's motivation to learn and benefit from the translation activity.

Abstract

Exploring the cultural pragmatic speech of the Makassar people of various ages and genders is a popular trend in current pragmatic research. However, most of the previous studies have only obtained data from speakers of different genders and ages and have not addressed the cultural influences that influence them. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to fill in the gaps of previous research by showing that the dominant culture greatly influences verbal actions in response to praise from people living in Makassar, children, adolescents and adults. Three instruments are used in this descriptive research: observations, surveys and interviews with 15 adults, 15 youth and 15 children. The results show that Makassar culture influences the proportion of compliments used by Makassar people. 87% of female responses received praise in adulthood, 13% avoid praise, and 82% of female responses receive praise and 18% avoid praise in adolescence. In adulthood, 60% of their responses are praise, 40% avoid praise, 80% of men respond to praise, 20% reject praise, and 100% of boys accept praise.

Abstract

According to literature, a child’s request is always addressed to a specific person or group of people. To our knowledge, however, studies on language use, interactions, and social dimensions in relation to request making to an interlocutor are uncommon in the Indonesian context; therefore, we sought to describe the considerations taken by children when making requests. Forty children between the ages of 6 and 10 took part in this qualitative study. We collected data using observation and field notes. The collected data were subsequently analyzed using an interactive model. The findings indicate that the majority of children's requests are directed toward interlocutors who are classified as having an extremely close relationship. In contrast, children never make direct requests to interlocutors classified as quite distant or extremely distant. The findings also indicate that requests made to interlocutors with a higher social status than children use a particular verbal form based on the nature of the request and the implied context. In contrast to reality, requests made to interlocutors with a lower social status are more likely to be made directly. It is hoped that the findings of this study will contribute to pragmatic and speech-related theories, as well as to improvements in language education based on a communicative and contextual approach that returns language to its primary function as a tool for communication and places language learning in a meaningful context.

Abstract

Evaluation is a crucial step in the process of enhancing the quality of educational materials through the design of new content. The evaluation of textbooks in English Language Teaching can be conducted using a variety of techniques. Adapted from Cunningsworth and Kusel (1991) and Skierso (1991), this study utilized checklist instruments to determine whether or not a textbook is appropriate for use. This study provides an overview of ELT textbook evaluation, with a particular emphasis on the use of a checklist. It aimed to assess the suitability of a specific textbook for an ESP course for fashion design students. According to the findings of this study, 90 percent of respondents agree this book is excellent based on its general attributes and 93 percent agree based on its learning and teaching content. The presentation above suggests that this book can be used for ESP courses by fashion design students. However, the book does not come without any weaknesses, which include the absence of a book for teachers and the absence of pair and group exercises.

Abstract

The variation of linguistic characteristics in academic writing between male and female is inevitable to happen. Therefore, this study aimed at finding out the differences of male and female students in linguistic characteristics of academic writing from perspective of linguistics, especially at the level of text analysis. The quantitative research method with convergent parallel design was used to analyze sixty students’ essay writing chosen by using a purposive sampling technique. The result revealed that there were some differences of linguistic characteristics in academic writing between male and female. The female students outperformed male students in all linguistic characteristics in text-level analysis. The female students were found more capable in paragraphing competences, linking devices, text output counts, topical organization, and ending. The findings generally support the notion that differences of linguistic characteristics between male and female should be considered in teaching academic writing to create a friendly teaching-learning process for both genders.

Abstract

Conversational implicature is one of the most important ideas in pragmatics. The importance of conversational implicatures as a means of conveying messages is directly well established. In conducting this research, the researchers used a qualitative descriptive method. This research is qualitative because the data are in the form of words and analyzed based on the setting or natural context. Qualitative research is a type of research in which data are studied naturally without any treatment or intervention by researchers. Related to teaching English, this research helps students to know about figure of speech – how they are expressed in the context of certain situations. Referring to implicature theory, students know that conversation is more than just a series of exchanges; it consists of exchanges ideas according to norms of conversational cooperation, which can be manipulated to create various meanings. The application of conversational implicatures in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is in the learning process in the classroom between teachers and students. Conversational implicatures in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs can provide several benefits and lessons for all students in learning to speak by increasing students' motivation, interest, and understanding of the learning material.

Abstract

The present study is an interdisciplinary research that investigates the role of Islamic culture courses in maintaining the Islamic identity among the female students of the English department at King Khalid University. It is due to the significance of these courses that the researchers design this study to explore the extent to which the Islamic culture courses achieve the objectives envisaged by them. This study further explores the ability of these courses to confront the ideas of globalization and the new international order including the world’s economic, political, cultural and social ideologies. The study also investigates the need of such courses to enable the students of the English department to be prepared to study certain courses enrolled at the faculty of languages and translation (i.e. religious translation course). For this end, the students are requested to complete an online survey composed of closed-ended and open-ended questions on their perceptions about the Islamic culture courses and their significance. As such, the study adopts both quantitative and qualitative methods and ends up with suggesting certain recommendations towards improving the courses specifications and implementing the students’ special knowledge of the English language and culture in empowering them to present the disciplined Islamic concept and identity.

Abstract

Learning styles have become a growing issue in the pedagogical area and have been explored by many studies in recent years. The concepts and theories of learning styles could have significant implications for designing teaching instruction. Thus, this study aims to identify students’ learning styles preferences and their perspectives on learning styles in the English learning context. Particularly, it investigates students’ choices of learning styles and how they perceive their learning styles in learning practice. It was conducted in the survey research using VAK Learning Styles Self-Assessment Questionnaire, followed by some open-ended and close-ended questions to see students’ perspectives on Learning Styles involving 44 respondents. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. Results indicate that students’ learning styles varied, but the highest percentage, 39 percent of students preferred to learn through visuals. Related to students’ perspectives, most of them were quite aware of their learning style, but unfortunately, 45.5 percent of them stated that their English learning was not yet suitable with their learning style; this can be a reflection for all of us. With all these results, this study was expected to give little information and description related to students’ learning styles preferences and perspectives.
