Abstract

The study examines the occurrence of a Directed Motivational Current (DMC) in a task-based gamified extracurricular activity in a Saudi Arabian university. An explanatory longitudinal approach was administered to detect changes to the motivational disposition and engagement of twenty-eight English majors throughout a three-week period. The study utilized multiple data sources including pre/post questionnaires, focus groups, individual virtual interviews, and BlackBoard Ultra analytics. The results of the pilot study indicate that when a gamified activity outside a program’s curricula is DMC induced, it can enhance the sense of belonging, encourage engagement, increase eudaimonistic sensations, develop linguistic and non-linguistic skills, and lead to personal benefits beyond the game, especially creativity and confidence. These activities encourage personalized and self-directed learning through entertainment, and therefore can improve the overall educational experience for students. Keywords: Directed Motivational Current, Explanatory Longitudinal Approach, Gamified Extracurricular Activity, Saudi Arabia

Abstract

Critical and creative thinking are significant competences for 21st century skills. Young learners should be prepared to develop these skills at school to prepare them for life. Classroom, on-site or virtually, should be a situated environment to support critical and creative thinking development. Teacher and students should approach every problem or case using both competences (Birgili, 2015). To be able to create such an environment, teacher should be insightful on how to intentionally ignite both competences and develop them aligned with students' levels. One of the ways to do this is by asking questions to students. The questions being delivered in the classroom are not simple questions. They are deep and insightful questions. To be able to create such questions, teacher needs to possess questioning skill which could trigger critical and creative thinking in young learners. Moreover, teacher needs to be more concerned on how these skills are being developed in the context of online learning for young learners. This research aims to expose the descriptive accounts of teaching and learning process in online learning setting which is related to critical and creative thinking. This research will be a case study which uses observation and interview as data collection techniques. Keywords: Critical-Creative Thinking, Questioning. Young Learners

Abstract

This article explores multilingual education policy practices in an Islamic Boarding School context and how they translated multilingual language policy into their class. Researches on multilingual education policies have been widely conducted in public schools in many countries, but in Indonesia, the topic is relatively under-researched. Indonesia has an educational model born from local wisdom and applies multilingualism for student competence, namely Islamic boarding schools. This case exploratory study takes data from 3 teachers from various subjects such as (English, Religion, Biology) at an Islamic boarding school at the same level as senior high school. Thematic analysis is applied to analyze the phenomenon that occurs regarding the multilingual education policy practices. This study reveals that teachers as agents in multilingual education policies run classes based on beliefs and abilities. Data was collected by interviewing teachers as practitioners in implementing multilingual education policies. The implication of this research is to provide a reference for education practitioners in adjusting to the implementation of multilingual education. Keywords: Language Policy, Multilingual Education, Teaching Practices

Abstract

Scholasticism delivered dogmatic principles of love and marriage that greatly influenced medieval culture and literature. The aristocracy and the poets in medieval English strove to live and represent the circular notions of love and those established by Christian standards side by side. Medieval Christian doctrine of ancillia theologia which speculated among other things that passionate love was fraught with evil even in conjugal relationship and the Feudal marriage system in which arranged marriages downplayed the interest of the woman held sway between 1066 and 1500. Thus, medieval philosophy and education was dramatically influenced by Christian religious dogmas, and the feudal dispensation to develop and maintain Courtly Love practice in two dimensions. The two notions of love, practiced under the Courtly Love system are mutually exclusive and represent two separate worlds apart. In this two fold expression of love, the Knights, driven by their amatory and romantic affection, demonstrated through the courtly love practice that true love can actually exist outside marriage, with or without physical consummation. Geoffery Chaucer in The Canterbury Tales represents the two ideas of Courtly Love using the tales of the Knight and the Squire. The Knight’s Tale and The Squire’s Tale respectively represent the earlier conventions of medieval courtly love of Camelot and King Arthur’s court and cult, characterized by strong chivalric codes of legendary Knights, and the latter conventions of courtly love in which the Knight and lover was no longer bound by strict chivalric codes. This study explores these two courtly love dimensions as they are portrayed through these two characters in The Canterbury Tales. Keywords: Courtly Love, Knight, Squire, Ancillia Theologia, Camelot

Abstract

During pandemic COVID-19, higher education has made a large shift in turning synchronous learning into asynchronous learning through online learning platforms. It encourages every institution, likewise Universitas Negeri Jakarta, to provide an all-in-one technology-supported learning environment due to face this dynamic change. Therefore, UNJ has finally developed its own Learning Management System (LMS). However, since it is a new brand tool of learning and innovation, it needs to be quickly evaluated for satisfaction and optimization so that there can be proposed for improvements in the future. This research uses System Usability Scale (SUS) as the Usability evaluation methods which is distributed through Google Forms and measured the validity by SPSS software. This evaluation method has been done to 50 participants from undergraduate and graduate students of English Language Education Study Program at UNJ. It was found that the result was valid with 0,702 reliability rate. The evaluation result of LMS owned by UNJ has 83,25 SUS score which can be regarded as "Excellent" rating as well as grade “A” according to Curved Grade Scale (CGS). Despite the score of Net Promoter Scale categorized as “Promoter”, it suggests further research investigated in other departments of UNJ to meet different expectations.

Abstract

To win political power, political actors sometimes adopt linguistic and rhetorical strategies that enable them to communicate effectively with their audience. This makes the study of the language of politics an interesting academic exercise. Earlier studies on political speeches, in Ghana, especially, have tended to be a description and an analysis of style, innovative and persuasive strategies of politicians and the manipulation of linguistic structures to champion individual interest in presidential speeches. Not much has been done in terms of the functional implications of these rhetorical devices. This study therefore attempted a critical discourse analysis of selected speeches of Kwame Nkrumah to investigate the role of language in creating ideology and sustaining power as well as ideological discursive structures in political speeches. The study specifically investigated linguistic expressions which carry these ideological colourations in the speeches under review. The study employed the qualitative research approach and textual analysis as the design. The sampling method was purposive, and the analysis was done thematically. The study employed the theoretical frameworks of Fairclough’s CDA and Van Dijk’s socio-cognitive approach to analyse the speeches. The study revealed that the ideologies were carried out through these discursive structures: evidentiality, pronouns, agency, metaphor, intertextuality, rhetorical question and strong modal of obligation. The study also revealed that Nkrumah relies on language to produce ideologies of nationalism, patriotism, national self-image, hope, power and dominance in his speeches. The study further revealed that the discursive structures produce and sustain power and unequal power relations between Nkrumah and his audience. The study afforded much evidence to conclude that politics is a game that can be successfully played through a skillful employment of language. The study, therefore, concludes that the speeches that were analysed were used as a means of establishing, maintaining, and sustaining power and asymmetrical power relations.
