Abstract

Creating long-life learners has become a long-term educational goal in many educational settings including Indonesia. An initial step towards this goal is to develop autonomy in students. Currently, learner autonomy or independence in learning has been promoted in higher education through the concept of Merdeka Belajar (freedom of learning) by the Minister of Education and Culture. In high schools, the 2013 curriculum has also emphasized learner autonomy development. Thus it is necessary to look back at how teachers perceived the concept of learner autonomy long before the concept of Merdeka Belajar was introduced. This article reports a quantitative study that investigated English teachers’ perceptions of learner autonomy and its development in Indonesia. This study was conducted in 2014 using a questionnaire and involved 145 high school English teachers in Magelang Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The findings revealed that these Indonesian teachers held positive perceptions of learner autonomy and strongly supported psychological elements of learner autonomy. These EFL teachers also showed strong support for social aspects of autonomy. These junior high school teachers perceived social interaction and cooperation as important for promoting learner autonomy in the Indonesian context.

Abstract

A plethora of studies have investigated the effects of peer evaluation (PE) and automated writing evaluation (AWE) on the writing products and perspectives of English as a foreign language (EFL) students. However, few studies compare students' preferences regarding its utilization to evaluate their essays. This study aimed to determine which method EFL college students prefer for evaluating the quality of their English academic writing. For data collection, a questionnaire was distributed to determine the frequency with which students utilize feedback. Twenty students enrolled in English Education completed the questionnaire. The open-ended interview was then administered to three students in order to gain a deeper understanding of their perspectives on these two modes of evaluation. Frequency count and thematic analysis were utilized to analyze the data. The results indicate that students favor using peer feedback over Grammarly, the AWE software used in this study, for two reasons. First, they view their peers as their real audience, and second, they value their peers' comments more than Grammarly's. However, Grammarly also received positive point as the students enjoys writing with this tool. Therefore, it is believed that the combination of these two s will result in the most essay writing progress.

Abstract

Corrective feedback has been one of the controversial topics in second language acquisition, L2 learning, and teaching. Corrective feedback could be in written or oral forms. Much has been written and published on this debatable topic. The purpose of the current study is to review the most cited published articles from 1990 to 2022. Reviewing research on CF has several benefits. First, researchers who are interested in investigating CF gain access to a synthesized and chronological review of the topic, and it provides insights to conduct future research on CF from different perspectives and theories. Secondly, L2 teachers can gain a clear understanding of CF, and learn about different methods and strategies for providing it to their learners alongside the results and conclusions from the previous studies. Finally, it is a ready-made review for those who cannot obtain the available studies on CF, and they have the access to refer to the previous studies once they conduct further research on CF.

Abstract

In dealing with syllabus design, teachers must recognize their roles in syllabus design since they are taking part in it. Consequently, this current study attempts to explore Indonesian secondary EFL teachers concerning their roles in syllabus design. It covers three points: their general perceptions, their boundaries, and their qualification as the EFL teacher in syllabus design. The main theory used in this study is by Nunan (2000) related to the roles in syllabus design. This study applied a qualitative approach using open-ended questionnaires and virtual interviews as the instrument of the study. A total of five respondents have participated in this current study.  The results found that the teachers believe that they have a role as the implementer and designer of syllabus design. Related to their boundaries in teaching English, all teachers create and develop the syllabus based on the student's needs. Besides, it discovers that teachers are likely to have the freedom to design their activities and materials based on the student's needs even though they should follow the basic element of the syllabus provided by the authorities. Finally, the teachers still need guidance and training in syllabus design since they have a fewer understanding of syllabus design.

Abstract

This paper unveils the relative merits of multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games in EFL educational settings for educational purposes, particularly rechecking the influence of League of Legends (LoL) on the EFL learners’ ICC. We have used Byram’s (1997) Model as a framework of assessment for thematic analysis, and both the Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS), modified by Gozzoli and Gazzaroli (2018) and the Assessment of Intercultural Competence of Chinese College Students (AIC-CCS) by Wu et al. (2013) to ensure a consistent questionnaire. Our participants were 75 Algerian EFL learners (Males=86,7%, Females= 13,3%) from different educational levels, aged 20.08 (SD= 2.99). The results indicate a need to design a more convenient MOBA game as a replace for LoL, as well as adopting a flexible assessment continuous guidance to ensure appropriate ICC instruction.

Abstract

As English plays an increasingly important role in today's job market, several studies have shown a direct correlation between English and employability. In Algeria, many Algerians believe that good English skills can help them get better jobs. However, in today's 21st century, as studies have proven, college graduates are more employable if they have skills that meet the demands of the modern workplace. The question that arises from this study is whether Algerian students majoring in English have the skills that will enable them to pursue successful careers. As far as we know, few studies address skill gaps among Algerian major students. Therefore, this study aims to examine the discrepancies between the skills that Algerian English major students are taught in comparison to the set of skills required for employment. To address this, this work applied a quantitative approach using a questionnaire administered to 40 undergraduate students from the Department of English at Ibn Khalodun University in Tiaret, Algeria. Key findings of this research revealed a gap in teamwork and research analysis skills, which are top-notch competencies for employers.

Abstract

Moments causing teachers to stop and think about their teaching are called critical incidents and reflecting on them can be a way of gaining insights into their practices and contexts. However, critical incidents are underexplored in the Turkish EFL context. Thus, this qualitative case study aimed to understand the types of critical incidents encountered by six Turkish novice EFL teachers who all graduated from the same English language teaching program, their ways of dealing with these, and how this affected them. Data obtained from reflective journals and a focus group interview were analysed thematically. The results revealed critical incidents related to multiple sources, mainly due to students’ behaviors. Moreover, teachers' strategies varied from addressing the student to acting as the authority. These critical incidents affect novice teachers in various ways, such as questioning their language teacher education and teaching competence, which were discussed in this study along with implications and directions for future studies.
