Abstract

The Post Corona World has automatically brought about new conditions in language learning and instruction. The impacts and consequences of the pandemic on ELT would make part of the paper at hand. Some conceptual issues would accordingly be part and parcel of the propositions discussed throughout the initial part of this short paper. On the latter part, the paper discusses the viewpoints of some 49 participants sought through the final run of the modified questionnaire, among other means, developed and administered to the students of online classes to see how they feel about the rest of the process. Positive as well as negative points of online language instruction are categorically delineated to help enhance the instruction in prospect. The part which might have positively benefited most regarding the present circumstances is the material development domain by lowering the panic of the instructor in developing the material which might not only be much more appealing to the students but also help them enhance their language ability. Proposals for further research in several areas close the paper

Abstract

Abstract Ability to operate in English in today’s world is getting more important than ever before. Being capable of using English at workplace becomes influencing factors in fulfilling duties (Clement & Murugavel, 2018). For school teachers, they need to learn English to support careers and to improve personal and professional quality. In EFL context the teaching of English has employed various methods and strategies since long. However, success remains uncertain as these methods, even the latest one so called Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), have been unable to fulfil the needs of EFL learners. In response to this, Post Method is proposed to be an alternative. This paper is trying to examine the implementation of Brown’s 10 teaching Factors to a group of teachers learning English as a foreign language in accordance to the post Method pedagogical theory. Ten non-English teachers, 3 females and seven males, in one of the Indonesian private schools participated in this study. Interview, observation, and questionnaire were used as research instrument to collect data. The finding reveals that before the class commenced, most of the participants hardly understood teachers’ instruction, had poor confidence to speak, and were unable to speak or carry on simple exchange, quite similar to the level of Novice Low, the term coined from Brown (see Brown, 2007, p. 118). However, after 20 class meetings, the participants were able to understand and speak daily conversation, and their speaking confidence increased significantly. Such levels of proficiency very much resemble Novice High and Intermediate Low. This result, however, requires further investigation on the implementation and output of this new teaching concept in different and wider contexts of EFL learners. Key terms: EFL, CLT, Novice Low, Novice Mid, Novice High, Intermediate Low

Abstract

The cliché “Learning is a social act” highlights the critical role of social interaction in the process of learning. However, in the wake of COVID-19 forced campus closures and the resultant remote teaching minimizes the opportunities for such interactions mainly because teachers and students are forced to stay in isolation in their homes and come together for a limited time on the computer screen only. To overcome this limitation, teaching and assessment interventions are needed to build a sense of community (SoC) and therefore optimize students learning. This paper focuses on one such intervention and its perceived benefits for students learning of the course contents in the context of an English for academic purposes course delivered at an international university campus in Tajikistan. The paper shares how conditions were created to build a SoC among the students and how it was beneficial for them. The paper has implications for practitioners as it shares a practical example of using social interaction for enhanced learning in an online environment and therefore may stimulate some further ideas for using community building for the enhanced achievement of the learning outcomes.

The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is introduced by the government and other stakeholders. The study investigates how the lecturers use the Learning Management System (LMS) in conducting a quality class. The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. This approach is aimed at uncovering phenomena experienced by lecturers (Moleong, 2005). The researcher becomes a key instrument who cannot be delegated (Creswell, 1998; Sugiyono, 2005). The finding then is sufficiently reconstructed by keeping a natural setting, so the finding data can be depicted as the aims of the research are expected. The study was conducted at the English Literature Study Program, STBA Sebelas April Sumedang. In-depth interviews were performed with 5 (five) lecturers who are in charge of the main subject/course in the study program. The result is the use of LMS needs lecturers' creativity and a new mindset, then the course objective can be obtained and the student’s center paradigm is maintained. Pembelajaran atau Pendidikan Jarak Jauh (PJJ) menjadi perhatian utama para pendidik (McVay dan Rockers, 2007). Penggunaan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK) diperkenalkan oleh pemerintah dan pemangku kepentingan. Penelitian ini mengkaji bagaimana dosen menggunakan Learning Management System (LMS) dalam melaksanakan perkuliahan yang bermutu. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Pendekatan ini ditujukan untuk membuka fenomena yang dialami oleh dosen (Moleong, 2005). Peneliti menjadi instrumen kunci yang tidak dapat diwakilkan (Creswell, 1998; Sugiyono, 2005). Temuan penelitian kemudian direkonstruksi dengan cara mempertahankan situasi natural. Data temuan kemudian digambarkan sesuai dengan tujuan penelitian yang diharapkan. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Program Studi Sastra Inggris, STBA Sebelas April Sumedang. Wawancara mendalam dilakukan terhadap 5 (lima) dosen yang mengampu mata kuliah inti program studi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa penggunaan LMS mengharuskan kreativitas dan mindset baru para dosen, sehingga tujuan perkuliahan dapat tercapai dan paradigma belajar bertumpu pada mahasiswa dapat dilaksanakan.

Abstract

Due to globalisation, having an effective communicative skill becomes a pivotal issue. To make effective communication, not only do people require adequate language skills but also the intercultural competence through which mutual understanding across the cultural boundary can be attained should be taken into account. Thereby, English teachers duties are expected not only to provide and facilitate students to gain English skills but also intercultural competence. This study aimed to reveal the EFL teachers' views and beliefs regarding intercultural competence in English teaching practice. The subjects comprised twenty-nine teachers having experience in teaching at some educational institutions, namely schools, universities, and English courses. Based on the collected data using questionnaires and interviews, it was found that most of the teachers had positive views of integrating cultures and intercultural competence into their English teaching practice. Besides, they viewed cultures as an inseparable part of the language. Moreover, teachers' knowledge of the target culture was found to be categorized high. In their teaching practice, they reported that various techniques were utilized to facilitate intercultural language teaching. However, it was found that the way the target cultures were integrated into English teaching had not been adequately considered good; hence, some systematic endeavor was suggested to cope with the issue.

Abstract

Abstract: This article is arranged to review and compare the theory about implementing of Robinson's strategy (SQ3R) to enhance reading prowess in English context. As we know that reading is the imperative skill at various academic levels. In reading activities, especially reading English texts, lack of motivation is a serious problem faced by students. This can be influenced for the students’ interest in reading activity. Besides, the limited time in reading activity can be the problems when the students in reading class. Furthermore, lack of vocabulary can be the obstacle for the students to understand and acquire the information during they read the English text. To solve these difficulties, we need to find a strategy that can be applied to the students in enhancing their reading. One of the strategy that can be used to solve the problems is utilizing SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review) strategy. In this article, the writer would review and discuss about the theory of SQ3R as the reading strategy, the mechanism of this theory, the advantages and the challenges, and also the previous study. This article will be closed with the conclusion and recommendation to apply SQ3R as the strategy in reading class.
