Abstract

This paper explores how language assessment is typically used to measure language gain as a result of the Immersion experience abroad. It also explores ways in which this might be improved. This study explores a recent experience where Australian immersion providers, participants and funders all report significant intercultural awareness raising and improved confidence in understanding and speaking in English as a result of the sojourn. However, it transpires that the immersion providers used traditional proficiency focused language assessment tools on entry and exit to measure communication outcomes across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. It appears therefore, that there is a gap between what the perceived outcomes and value are of the Immersion experience, and how they are currently measured. This article reports on a small scale study exploring the perceptions of two immersion providers in Australia, one immersion coordinator in Hong Kong and four returnees on the language assessments they used and experienced, particularly probing on how well they felt these assessments measured their communication gains as a result of the immersion experience.Keywords: Language assessment, immersion, indigenous criteria.

Abstract

Teaching in 4.0 era cannot be separated with Information and Communication Technology (ICT). There are many applications that can be used in learning and teaching process. ORAI application is chosen to be used as teaching tool in learning pronunciation. The main objective of this research is to discover the pro and cons from students as the main user in using ORAI application in learning pronunciation. This research implemented qualitative as research method and the participants of the research was 35 students of third semester of English students in IKIP Siliwangi. The data were collected by observation and interview. The result of the research showed that most of the participants agree that ORAI brings more benefits in learning pronunciation practice class. Their agreement can be classified into four categories: accessibility, comfortability, technicality, and integrated learning. The students were motivated and they could learn effectively. While, some of the students indicated that they did not want to use this application, they just delivered that this application has weaknesses in their process of practicing English pronunciation. Their cons on the use of ORAI are classified into two categories; topic difficulties and technicalities. Overall, the implementation of ORAI has positive effect for students in pronouncing correctly and they have good feedback to trigger them for practicing a lot. On the other hand, pronouncing English well will make a big contribution to their communication skills.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to know the translations techniques, the accuracy as well as the acceptability of the translations. It was a descriptive-qualitative research with an embedded case study by using pragmatics approach. This research was done by listing the conversations between characters in the Shopaholic to the Rescue novel which contains turns that respond to complaining speech act. Here, the source language and target language were compared to identify the translation techniques. Then, the researcher and the raters assessed the acceptability of the translations by conducting Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The result showed that there are 14 techniques used by the translator, such as established equivalent, variation, pure borrowing, modulation, explicitation, implicitation, addition, transposition, reduction, linguistic compression, literal, generalization, discursive creation, and linguistic amplification. Moreover, the average rate of the acceptability is 2.94 out of 3 which means it is prevalent, in line with the norm as well as the rule of the target language.

Abstract

Coursebook plays a substantial role in facilitating teaching and learning process, especially for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). However, the widely available coursebooks do not always match with the designed program and the learners’ as well as the institution’ needs. To ensure that a coursebook can optimally support the goals of an ESP course, developing materials is suggested. This research aimed to develop an ESP coursebook using ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model. A Research and Development method was employed in this research in which the data were collected through questionnaire and interview. The questionnaire was distributed to 430 Business English 1 students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. Meanwhile, the interview was conducted to 4 English teachers. Here, the data were obtained during the first and the last steps of ADDIE model (analysis and evaluation). The data obtained from the analysis phase were used for need analysis, while those obtained from the evaluation phase were used to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the coursebook. The findings showed the coursebook’s elements which cover language, content, tasks, learners, and the learning are good, but the visual elements highly need improvement.

Abstract

This article discusses the representation of local culture in EFL Junior High School textbooks in Indonesia. The two primary objectives of this paper are: 1) to reveal the primary reasons of incorporating local culture in EFL textbooks, and 2) to suggest further implications in responding to the incorporation of local culture in EFL textbooks. The discussion begins with the current EFL context in Indonesia with the emphasis on the considerable changes of the curriculum implementation in the Indonesian context, in which it attempts to reveal the representation of local culture implied within the 2013 curriculum. As its main arguments, this article argues that there are two predominant reasons for representing local culture in the EFL Junior High School textbooks in Indonesia which include promoting the sense of familiarity to Junior High School students in learning English as well as strengthening the aspects of national culture and identity portrayed in the textbooks. Furthermore, this article also discusses the future implications in responding to the representation of local culture in EFL Junior High School textbooks in Indonesia, including the needs to enhance the role of teachers as well as the importance of incorporating more diverse cultural representation in the textbooks.

On the features of interactivity, S2 is more cooperative than S1. In addition, on the feature of interpersonally, both speakers seemed to appeal more agreement. Thus, in terms of coherence, both speakers can run the conversation smoothly. The two speakers were still making conversation in line with the topic although they changed the topic three times.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of flipped learning on ESL students' speaking skills. Basically, secondary school students lack out-of-class instruction to review and study teaching materials independently since there is no opportunity to practice speaking skills outside the class. Therefore, the availability of the technological device in everyone's hand may help to enhance speaking if they are monitored regularly. The qualitative and quantitative approach is employed. The participants consisting of (40) Omani secondary school students, were divided into two groups (20) in the Experimental Group (E. G) and (20) in the Controlled Group (C.G). Pre-and post-tests were managed to both groups before using flipped classroom (FC) as a scaffolding of teaching speaking to non-native learners. Besides, a questionnaire was administered to. The results revealed that E.G excelled in the C.G. Also, it showed a positive attitude towards flipping as a learning strategy.

Abstract

Cross-disciplinary research, involving scholars of multiple disciplines, has attracted much attention from universities recently. This type of study extends beyond simple collaboration in integrating data, methodologies, perspectives and concepts and engages with real world problems, especially as global complexities have undermined the underlying ideology of countability and singularity of various disciplines founded on antiquated notions of territorialization. Since most disciplines are transferred through language and linguistics sciences like socio-linguistics, applied-linguistics and psycho-linguistics, an interrogation of received discourses on language study has direct and indirect impact on almost all the other disciplines and can be used to enhance language related studies in different ways. This paper shall define cross-disciplinary research and provide an overview of how applied linguistics and professional studies interrelate, focusing on the fact that research across disciplines must yield output that advances and benefits society, while allowing for complex and nuanced assessments allowed by the porous borders of different disciplines. This paper shares the kind of cross-disciplinary research which marries linguistics, languages and communication with other disciplines (for example, studies based on socio-linguistics and health, law, business or industry) to show how knowledge achieved from such research can result in trans-disciplinary recombination and expertise in other professional domains.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the motivation of senior high school students at 11st grade in reading and writing English texts, especially narrative text.  The study also explores the insight toward the use of mind mapping and cooperative integrated reading and writing in nurturing students’ interest and motivation in writing narrative text. The study used qualitative case study to learn and pay attention to phenomena that the students’ motivation in reading and writing narrative text are needed to be nurtured. There were 36 students of 11st grade in senior high school in Bandung were involved in this study. Questionnaire and interview were given to the students. The results show that the students who show positive view toward reading and writing narrative texts are 74% students. They interest and willingness in making mind mapping of the narrative, because they know that narratives texts are full of information and moral value. While only 26% students who seem force to read and write narratives text to compose mind mapping. Eventually, integrating reading and composition in the classroom can nurture their reading interest and increase their willingness to read narrative text. Since, many students can understand the moral value of the narrative text through discussing with their friends at the class and making a mind mapping through cooperative learning about the narrative text is very useful to develop their mind.
