Abstract

Recently, the use of ICT in today?s English language teaching is quite massive. However, EFL instructors? beliefs about the use of smart boards in language teaching practices are scarcely explored. This study aimed to investigate EFL instructors? beliefs about the implementation of the smart board as ICT-based learning media. Three EFL instructors across English learning centers were voluntarily involved in this study. Observation and semi-structured interviews were employed as the data collection technique. The data were described and interpreted based on the research questions. The results of this study showed that EFL instructors had positive responses towards the implementation of the smartboard. They stated that the smartboard made the explanation clearer and it was not difficult to be operated. Besides, students enjoyed using the smartboard during the lesson. Finally, the EFL instructors agreed that the smartboard could be implemented in classrooms with high control or supervision by the teachers.DOI: doi.org/10.24071/llt.2020.230111

Abstract

The historical linguistic conflict of the Cebuano people against the Tagalog-based Philippine national language has been evident in the literature written by Cebuano academics. However, there is no published empirical evidence that presents the on-ground language attitudes of the Cebuanos on the Cebuano, Filipino, and English languages. Employing mixed methods research, the researchers found that both generations predominantly use the Cebuano language for everyday communication. A significant difference was observed in the use of Filipino and English languages as the younger generation spoke it more than the elder counterparts. A language shift was also seen from Cebuano to English on the language used formal communication between the generations. Attitudes on everyday communication revealed that Cebuanos prefer to maintain their mother tongue as the language to be used in speaking with family, friends, relatives, and close people seeing that the younger generation has limited vocabulary on the Cebuano language. Respondents mostly favored English to be the language used for formal communication due to its stature as an international language and its association to high socioeconomic standing. A collective majority from both generations would also like to maintain Tagalog-based Filipino to be the Philippine national language.

Abstract

In this corpus-based study, we address the issue of authorial presence in English research articles (RAs) by native and non-native English scholars in the field of second language writing. Our purposes are to compare the frequencies of authorial presence and to examine discourse functions of authorial presence in the native and non-native English scholars? RAs. To achieve these purposes, 48 RAs were collected from two Scopus-indexed journals, namely Journal of Second Language Writing and Assessing Writing. Overall, our finding suggests that native and non-native English scholars are different in terms of degree of visibility in which native English scholars are more visible than their non-native counterparts in their RAs. Furthermore, our functional analysis of authorial presence indicates that both native and non-native English scholars tend to use authorial presence more for the same purposes, i.e. to describe the research procedures and show the organizations of the texts. The similarity between the two groups may be caused by the international publishing context and the disciplinary writing practice in second language writing. In addition, these findings may be invaluable to material designs in English writing, especially in Indonesia, to assist students as novice writers to consider their explicit presence in their RAs.

Abstract

***In this paper, Sunnyside High School, Inland Empire University (IEU) and Desert Valley, California will serve as pseudonyms to maintain the anonymity of the high school, university, district and city.  Ms. Jasmine Espinoza and Dr. J. D. Hyde will represent the pseudonyms for the teacher-participants who taught the classes examined in this study.  Abstract:Building upon the prior success of a rookie high school math teacher, a veteran English professor also successfully implemented empowering care at a private university in that same urban setting in Southern California.  The aforementioned empowering care that contributed to better student learning as measured by district wide tests at the high school level now demonstrated pedagogical success as assessed by student evaluations in the university setting.   The purpose of this paper, chronicled from a practitioner?s point of view, examines how teacher beliefs that ?all students are capable of learning,? operationalized concretely in terms of empowering care, enabled students to achieve impressive academic performances on the aforementioned measures in their respective settings over two consecutive school years (D. Walker & S. Walker, 2019).

Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the effects of a foreign accent, namely the Iraqi Arabic accent, at the segmental level on the productive intelligibility of Iraqi EFL learners. Drawing on an intelligibility pronunciation principle, i.e. Gimson?s (2001) Minimum General Intelligibility (MGI), the study applied a mixed-methods research approach to measure the extent to which features of this accent impede the productive intelligibility of these learners and to identify the communication strategies they use to overcome intelligibility failures. To achieve these aims, two data collection tools were used: a production intelligibility test and a speaking task. Although the overall quantitative findings revealed that Iraqi EFL learners? foreign-accented English was intelligible at the segmental level, most intelligibility failures were ascribed to the mispronunciation of non-existent English phonemes. The qualitative aspect of the study aimed at identifying the communication strategies Iraqi EFL learners use to overcome these intelligibility failures. In this respect, several strategies were identified, namely the let-it-pass strategy, the replacement strategy, the repetition strategy and the time gaining strategy. The article concludes with the implications and applications of the findings. Corresponding author: Ahmad NazariDOI: : doi.org/10.24071/llt.2020.230201

Abstract

There are four steps necessarily to be conducted when designing multiple-choice test items, namely setting the objective, building both concise stems and options, determining one correct answer, employing item indices to accept or discarding items (Brown, 2004). As a matter of fact, most teachers in Aceh are not very well-informed about the fourth step and they accept all items as they are. This study focuses on high school teachers who undergo all of the steps offered in the framework when constructing multiple-choice items for English summative test(s). The qualitative method using framework analysis was used in obtaining the data. A questionnaire was distributed to 15 teachers. The analysis process was carried out through three-step analysis (Miles, Huberman, Saldana, 2013). The results depict that the teachers hardly conduct the index determining step or try-outs when constructing a test. This implies that there is no empirical warrant that all items are worth tested and can be the fundamentals for decision-making when assessing and evaluating students test results.

Abstract

TEP, Test of English Proficiency, is a type of English test which is held regularly by Language Center (LC) of Universitas Swadaya Gunung Jati (UGJ) Cirebon based on the Rectors decree as policy. It becomes one of the requirements for the students who are going to graduate from higher education. This research intends to 1) explore the students perception on a Test of English Proficiency and 2) find out about how is the implementation of TEP. The writers conducted a case study with 288 students as the respondents. They come from different majors and faculties. There are four techniques of collecting data: 1) interviews, 2) observation, 3) questionnaires, and 4) documents. To get the valid data, the writers used triangulation of sources to cross check and compare data. An interactive model (data collection, data display, data reduction, and conclusion) is used to analyze data. The research findings reveal that the students perceptions on TEP can be classified into three aspects: TEP activity, test instrument, and preparation while the implementation of TEP such as a registration system, information system, proctoring, and facilities get satisfactory responses from the students.
