Abstract

This article tries to find out the explanations behind the implementation of CLT approach in the higher secondary level and attempts to produce a real data of CLT implementation in both rural and urban areas in Bangladesh. It also looks at the factors that make this teaching approach difficult to implement. This study examined both teachers’ and students’ perceptions, opinions, and perspectives of the English language at the higher secondary level. To achieve the objectives of the study, a mixed-method approach has been undertaken to conduct the methodology of the study where a range of methods such as Questionnaire, Interview and Classroom Observation Checklist have been used. The outcomes reveal various types of obstacles which are: a huge number of students in CLT classroom, small size of classroom, insufficiency of modern materials. It also disclosed that maximum students are not able to understand the English lecture in the classroom, teachers are not trained to maintain the classroom by following CLT method and some of the trained teachers are refused to apply CLT approach as well. Based on the findings, this study tries to propose some processes for reversing the current situation that is happening at present within the educational system in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Blended learning requires digital technology transformation for lecturers and students, up-to-date teaching methods, flexible learning processes, the effectiveness of time, space, budget, learning motivation, learning autonomy, all of which contribute to improving student learning achievement. However, current empirical research results do not support the claim that blended learning improves students' English proficiency and learning autonomy. Evidence shows that the blended learning has an effect on students' English competence, learning autonomy, motivation, and ICT literacy. For this article, the effect of blended learning in ESL/EFL was investigated and defined. This study is a quantitative explanatory research type with a pre-test and post-test design. The research participants were 198 students from the Department of Primary School Teacher Education, Universitas Katolik Indonesia Santu Paulus Ruteng. Seventy-four participants were chosen as samples using a random sampling method. Data was taken by test and non-test, and data was then analysed by a software program called SPSS 22.0. Twelve blended learning sessions, including six sessions in face-to-face settings and six sessions, are done virtually through the Zoom application. The results show that blended learning strengthens English student competence (the mean score on the post-test = 82.57), learning autonomy (88.57%), learning motivation (80%), and ICT literacy (71.43%).

Abstract

This study analyzed teachers written feedback to explore how well the teachers written feedback corresponded to the principles of evaluation and the extent to which their written feedback was aligned with the students numerical scores in the report cards. This study collected 112 written feedback from 5 teachers and the corresponding numerical scores in the students report cards from one of the private Primary Schools in Surabaya. The teachers written feedback was analyzed based on the principles of evaluation. The results of the analysis indicated that none of the teachers wrote feedback which met the criteria of an ideal feedback covering praise, criticism, and suggestion equally at the same time. All teachers only gave praise mostly to very good and excellent students; they almost never gave criticism and suggestion to them. To the low achieving students, the teachers mostly gave criticism and suggestion, and almost never gave any praise. In regard to the alignment between the teachers written feedback and the students numerical scores in the report cards, the finding indicated that the teachers written feedback was well aligned with the students numerical scores.

Abstract

In Philippine schools, the standard use of English and Tagalog is emphasized; code switching is discouraged. Therefore, parents of children who are exposed to and are trying to learn either of these languages, their L2 mind distinguishes correct usage of its features to avoid confusion and acquisition difficulties. Considerably, the English language acquisition in the Philippines is both influenced by nationwide use of the language in the households and communities, and exposure to information technology; both are deemed necessary in English literacy and prestige. Consequently, this case study contrasted the lexical and contextual features of L1 and L2 learned vocabulary words of pre-schoolers (male and female) to recognize their L2 acquisition difficulty and contextual cues as perceived by the parents of the subjects based on children’s personal, cognitive, and cultural attributes. Through qualitative method using the contrastive analysis hypothesis established by Lado (1957), this study supports the interlanguage of English and Tagalog; children can acquire lexical and contextual L1 and L2 prior to their formal schooling.

Abstract

The Flipped Classroom model has been a debatable issue, especially due to its triumph in the new set during the current outbreak of Covid-19. This study attempts to assess the effectiveness and explore the barriers and boosters of an FC approach in the Reading for Academic Purpose course in a private university in NTT Province, Indonesia. Employing a mixed-method design, this study generated data from the pre-and post-test and students TOWS (Threat-Opportunity-Weakness-Strength) analysis. Two groups of fourth-semester students, comprising 35 in a Blended Learning setting and another 23 in a Flipped Classroom, were taught similar reading skills and tasks. The paired-samples t-test indicates both FC (p=0.030.05, d=-0.70, medium effect size) and BL (p=0.000.05, d=-1.06, large effect size) settings were statistically significant by comparison. The independent-samples t-test used to contrast their effectiveness shows no statistically significant difference between groups (t[56]=1.11, p=0.27, d=0.29, small effect size). Although FC students benefited equally from the learning process in BL, they gained a lower mean score than their counterparts. TOWS analysis requires more improvement in FC due to students’ resilience to change, inability to self-learning management, poor collaboration and communication, technological setbacks, technical issues, and other socio-environmental constraints.

Abstract

The linguistic landscape of a place constitutes a clear representation of its language ideology, culture, users’ identity and language practice. These are depicted in verbal language used in public signs including business names, street signs, advertisements and graffiti. The aim of this paper is to examine the language distribution, purpose and authorship of public signage in the multilingual context in Kenyan universities. The paper also examines the students’ attitudes towards the public signs in the sampled institutions. A sample of 185 photos taken from notices, advertisements, building names and posters are analyzed.  The analysis reveals that English is the most dominant language used in Universities for both top-down and bottom-up signs, with 77% prevalence. This is attributed to the acceptance of English as a global language and presence of international students and lecturers. A high incidence of informative signs is also noted at 42% of all signage linked with the academic nature of the paper context. The findings also reveal that Kiswahili as an African language with Bantu and Arabic roots is barely utilized in public signs despite its official status. This has implications on language policy and its implementation as it indicates a mismatch between policy and practice.

Abstract

An innovative teaching and learning process in a class is essential to provide a meaningful and successful learning experience. Peer feedback evaluating the other students’ writing helps them check, correct errors in writing, and analyze the mistakes to lead to a better understanding and a good improvement. Thus, this study is conducted to observe Google Docs’ use with peers’ feedback for having an innovative teaching and learning process in EFL writing class. 10 EFL students, including male and female from one of the public universities in Central Java, Indonesia studying in the 5th semester are surveyed via non-probability sampling and asked for their participation in this study. The ten students chosen will be interviewed regarding the activities using Google Docs in their article writing class such as commenting and revising after they get the feedback and their reflection of these activities. The results of this study found that Google Docs providing feedback helps students write an article, although they also found some challenges. This study suggests that the lecturers' guidance and perspective are needed in feedback activity during the writing class to have a better and more effective learning process.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the level of public speaking anxiety among students based on the differences in human intelligence machine division: STIFIn (Sensing, Thinking, Intuiting, Feeling, and Insting). This study involved 51 Management students who took the English for Specific course on their semester credits. This study employs a case study that is qualitative in nature. The data was gathered using a semi-structured approach. The data collected was then processed by using two methods: statistical calculations for quantitative data related to the results of filling out 17 Public Speaking Anxiety Scale (FLAS) questionnaires by students concerning their level of anxiety when performing a public speaking and constructive analysis for qualitative data related to the results of comparing respondents' responses. The results shows that students in the Insting personality have a higher average of public speaking anxiety: 51.60. Students who are Sensing have an average anxiety level of 49.25, whereas students who are Thinking have an anxiety level of 47.50. In comparison, Intuiting students have an average anxiety level of 48.66, while Feeling students have an average anxiety level of 50.17. Consider the implications, some suggestions are discussed to overcome the challenges.

Abstract

Technology using multimedia assistance is expected to be able to boost some changes both in the classroom atmosphere in general and individual in particular either cognitive (learning outcomes) or affective (learning attitudes). One of learning media that is well-known among users in education is multimedia presentations or Power Point which combine text, graphics, images, photos, audio, videos, and animation in an integrated manner. One of learning tools featuring those conveniences is Genially. The current study was preliminary in nature regarding the use of Genially online media presentation and to investigate with respect its influence on self-confidence among male and female students. The study focused on one skill of language in delivering selected topic or idea using English. Using a quantitative approach, this study involved 62 students consisting of 42 males and 20 females of sophomore students from one vocational college in a small city in Indonesia. To determine level of self-confidence, students were given a questionnaire responding 12 statements in 4 answer scales. Output of One Way Anova and regression test calculation showed that the use of PowerPoint Genially influenced self-confidence for both genders. Even though this media was capable to lead more pleasant and enjoyable learning atmosphere, the influence performed by the variables was considered less significant. This means that students still feel less confident to use oral English in delivering selected topics to their friends in the class.

Abstract

The increased use of video conference platforms provides opportunities to invite foreign lecturers to give lectures virtually. Despite of beneficial impacts, inviting foreign lecturers might bring challenges to students using English as a foreign language. Therefore, this study was aimed at examining challenges faced by non-English speaking students in attending visiting lecturer classes delivered in English and the potential strategy. The study was an exploratory study conducted in a university in Indonesia. The study involved 118 students from a Study Program taken from two courses. Data were collected through observation and questionnaire. Findings show that language became one of the most challenging barriers in understanding the materials, mostly due to speaking speed of the lecturers and the lack of vocabulary. The lecture summary provided by in-class lecturers could be an alternative to improve learning process. Findings also indicate that the visiting lecturer program could improve students’ language proficiency, especially their vocabulary and listening comprehension. It concludes that visiting lecturer program has a potential to improve students’ language proficiency. However, it is important to provide strategies to help students comprehend the material, such as allocating time for providing a brief summary of the lectures in the student first or second language.
