Abstract

Language politeness is considered one of the defining characteristics of Indonesian society. In the age of global communication and computing, moderate politeness, centered on politeness of opinion, politeness in deliberation, and politeness in respecting the opinions of others, is an important factor. However, progressive politeness in Urban Muhammadiyah Primary School is becoming a growing concern that requires special attention. The purpose of this study was to examine this violation in the interactions between learners, teachers, and principals in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study adopts a qualitative approach with a case study design. The data were collected from interviews, observations, and documentation. Interviews were conducted with classroom teachers, principals, and learners, while observations were recorded through field notes and reflections. Moreover, audio-visual documentation in the form of photographs, videos, and recordings during the learning processes and interactions between learners or teachers were utilized. Data collection was based on four strategies: observation, interview, documents, and audio-visual, as outlined in Creswell's theory. Validity was examined using data triangulation, member checking, prolonged duration of data collection, repeated observations in the study location, and peer examination. The findings of the study include a) There was a violation of the politeness through bullying, body shaming, and verbal abuse, which violated the principles of appreciation and sympathy. b) Urban Muhammadiyah Primary School helped promote language politeness through several methods, including performing Duha prayers, morning recitation with assistance from the teacher and principal, and teacher role modelling by arriving at school at 06.15 and reciting Asmaul Husna together. Importantly, these efforts positively affected the politeness of the learners. This study provides an update on the assistance given to learners to address impoliteness, including Duha prayers, morning recitation, and memorization of Al-Qur'an and Asmaul Husna assisted by teachers. Moreover, the school has a well-equipped School Health Unit (SHU) to promote a healthy, clean, disciplined, and polite lifestyle. Appeals are made through persuasive and affectionate books and direct assistance from teachers as role models. The study of the Quran and Asmaul Husna demonstrates children's moderate politeness in expressing their opinions. The agreement to develop a joint discipline demonstrates the children's moderate politeness in deliberation.

Abstract

This study aims to adapt CEFR in developing an integrative approach-based teaching material model for a pre-basic BISOL class. The method used in this research is the development research design by Borg and Gall. This study was development research. The stages are identification of the problem, formulation of a hypothetical draft model; feasibility testing by experts; product revision; and test product effectiveness. The data were collected through survey techniques, interviews, and documentation. The needs identification results revealed data encompassing 10 themes, 5 tasks per theme, and diverse evaluations comprising theory, in-class practice, and real-world field assignments, both on an individual and group basis. These identified needs require alignment with CEFR A1 for the development of BISOL learning. These findings were subsequently incorporated into the design of the teaching material model, and the results indicated that tailoring CEFR to BISOL as an integrative language teaching material model was feasible for application in the classroom, as assessed by experts. The implications suggest that integrating CEFR into BISOL is highly feasible for the development of teaching materials, and teachers can leverage this instructional model to enhance students' proficiency in the Indonesian language..

Abstract

Language plays a crucial role in the educational environment, whether in schools or universities. Besides the national language, students are also exposed to regional and foreign languages to enhance their language proficiency. Teaching foreign languages encompasses a wide range of options, such as English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. Moreover, languages affiliated with ASEAN countries, like Malay, Thai, and Indonesian, have gained popularity. This study employs a descriptive approach to elucidate the findings regarding the interest in learning Indonesian among students in ASEAN nations. Conducted by SEAMEO ASEAN, the research draws its primary data from questionnaires and presentations submitted in September 2022. Participating ASEAN countries in this SEAMEO initiative encompass Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor Leste, and Vietnam and analyzed with descriptive statistical analysis. The study reveals a notable demand for Indonesian language learning among students from ASEAN countries. Indonesian is pursued for various purposes, including professional, socio-cultural, and personal development. Recognizing the interest in Indonesian among ASEAN students provides a foundation for the implementation of Indonesian as a foreign language through the BIPA program. There has not been much research on the interest of Indonesian language among students at the ASEAN level, therefore this research is included in the initial research on Indonesian language internationalization policies starting from the ASEAN level

Abstract

Pre-service teachers' ability to construct and conduct assessment has been a point of emphasis for decades, and rightfully so. It is crucial that they acquire the necessary knowledge and abilities in their language assessment course during their pre-service teacher education to effectively assess students in their future professional routines. The purpose of this research was to determine if and how pre-service English teachers' (PSETs) satisfaction with their language assessment course corresponded with their level of readiness. 51 out of 56 PSETs participated since they met the two requirements (passing the language assessment course and enrolling in TAP). The Fulcher (2012) language assessment literacy questionnaire was adapted and disseminated. The questions were organized into four categories for the purpose of analysis: overarching principles and concepts in linguistic assessment; designing language assessment; scoring test items and analyzing test results. Results demonstrated that LAL satisfaction was not congruent with assessment readiness. There was a "neutral" level of satisfaction among participants (51.5 percent), but they were nearly set to begin practicing assessment at their TAP (78.5 percent). Additionally included are statistics that are specific to each of the four categories found in the questionnaire.  In particular, the study suggests that training in evaluating open-response questions and analyzing test items warrants expansion. Additional research could fill in the gap between LAL satisfaction and the PSETs by examining the relationship between the two.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of integrating project-based learning (PjBL) with the Latemmamala cultural approach in enhancing the analytical exposition writing skills of grade XI students at SMA Negeri 3 Soppeng. Utilizing a quantitative research design, the study assessed improvements in students' writing abilities through pre-test and post-test evaluations, focusing on grammar, vocabulary, mechanics, fluency, and organization. Results indicated a notable increase in students' writing skills, with the mean score rising from 1425 to 2240. The standard deviation decreased from pre-test (4.811) to post-test (3.185), suggesting a more uniform improvement among students post-intervention. The paired samples t-test further substantiated the efficacy of the intervention (t(observational) = 7.14, p < 0.05), indicating a significant enhancement in writing skills attributable to the culturally infused PBL methodology. The study revealed that integrating PBL with a cultural perspective not only improved students' writing proficiency but also enhanced their motivation, creativity, and engagement with the learning process. It demonstrated that the Latemmamala cultural theme enriched the learning environment, fostering a closer bond between teacher and students through continuous monitoring and support during the project work. Significant improvements were observed in various facets of writing, reflecting the approach's comprehensive impact. By demonstrating the potential of culturally responsive teaching strategies, this study provides a valuable model for educators seeking to foster more inclusive, engaging, and effective learning environments. It underscores the importance of integrating cultural heritage within a PjBL framework to enhance language education, offering new insights into the potential of culturally enriched PBL. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on the benefits of cultural approaches in education and highlights the efficacy of integrating the Latemmamala cultural approach in improving students' academic skills and cultural understanding

Abstract

This study examines the potential effect of mind mapping-based instruction on Jordanian EFL tenth-grade students’ use of additive, adversative, causal and temporal conjunctions. A purposeful sample of two tenth-grade sections was drawn from a public school in Mafraq, Jordan. The two sections were randomly assigned into an experimental group of 14 students, taught through mind mapping, and a control group of 13 students, taught per the guidelines of the prescribed Teacher’s Book. Following an eight-week treatment, the data were collected by means of a post-test. The findings revealed that the experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group in the use of the four types of conjunctions and overall. The study concludes with several pedagogical implications and recommendations for further research.

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to develop and test the efficiency of a mobile application for promoting out-of-class English practice for Thai university students enrolling in an English for academic purposes course. This mobile application featured interactive flashcards, multiple-choice quizzes, matching quizzes, spelling quizzes, and a news-update page.  The participants in this study were 79 undergraduate students divided into two groups based on their voluntary use of the application.  In the experimental group, after the pre-test, sixty-three students downloaded and used the application for one month, while the control group consisted of the 16 students who did not download or use the app after the pre-test.  Both the pre-test and post-test consisted of listening, vocabulary, grammar, and reading.  Their pre-test and post-test scores were compared by using the pair-sample t-test in the experimental group, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used in the control group.  Additional data regarding the usability and perceived effectiveness of the app were collected using an online questionnaire and analyzed using the mean and standard deviation.  It was found that students who used the app performed significantly better in their post-test than in their pre-test, but that was not the case for students in the control group who did not use the app.  The data from the questionnaire show that users were satisfied with the app features and frequently used the matching quizzes, usage quizzes, and meaning quizzes.  They also agreed that the app was usable and effective, and they supported further development in terms of contents.  This shows that the application should be implemented in order to increase achievement in learning English for specific purposes.
