Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate partially and simultaneously significant contributions between global reading, problem-solving, support reading, worry, emotionality, and task-generated interference to reading comprehension and the dominant predictor variable to reading comprehension with 540 learners at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. With the Multiple Linear Regression analysis, this study administered a reading comprehension test, SORS, and FLRAS questionnaires to collect the data. The results of the statistical calculation showed that t values of global reading (4.549), problem-solving (4.415), support reading (4.667), worry (2.721), emotionality (2.596), and task-generated interference (2.955) in which all were higher than t table (1.964), so there is a partially significant contribution between all of the predictor variables to reading comprehension. This study used the Multiple Linear Regression analysis to gather data by administering the SORS, FLRAS questionnaire, and reading comprehension test. The statistical analysis revealed a partially significant contribution between all predictor variables to reading comprehension, with t-values for global reading (4.549), problem-solving (4.415), support reading (4.667), worry (2.721), emotionality (2.596), and task-generated interference (2.955) all surpassing the t-table (1.964). A simultaneously significant contribution to reading comprehension was made by global reading, problem-solving, support reading, worry, emotionality, task-generated interference, and the computed F value of 18.195, which was higher than the F table (2.116). In addition, if the Standardized Coefficients Beta column was observed, the dominant variable in reading anxiety was task-generated interference, which had the highest value (.117) in reading anxiety, and the dominant variable in reading strategies, which was support reading, which also had the highest value (.187) of all predictor variables.

Abstract

In tertiary education, the enhancement of writing skills is paramount. One effective approach to mastering academic writing is through inquiry-based collaborative learning. Hence, this study endeavors to delineate the procedures involved and gauge students' perceptions of inquiry-based collaborative writing in enhancing critical thinking skills within the Indonesian language curriculum. This research adopts a descriptive methodology, employing research instruments such as observation sheets and surveys to gather data. The findings elucidate two key points: firstly, the inquiry-based collaborative writing process comprises five integral stages - orientation, collaboration, investigation, discussion, and conclusion. Secondly, student feedback highlights the positive impact of this method in nurturing critical thinking skills specifically within the realm of Indonesian language studies. Given its fusion of activity-oriented learning, logical argumentation, and collaborative dynamics, inquiry-based collaborative writing emerges as a potent tool for cultivating critical thinking skills among students. Consequently, its incorporation into the curriculum is recommended as a strategic means to bolster students' cognitive abilities and academic proficiency

Abstract

This research emphasized the value of interactive activities, especially unscripted role-play, in improving Indonesian EFL learners' spontaneous English speaking skills in their learning. By exploring learners' experiences in script-free role-playing, the study contributes valuable insights into the importance of active language practice in language learning, emphasizing practical communication skills over theoretical knowledge. The purpose of this study is to give an overview of effective language teaching approaches that enhance the fluency and spontaneous English expression of Indonesian as English Foreign Language (EFL) Learners. Through qualitative methods, including observation notes, reflective surveys, and interviews, the research aimed to provide a comprehensive perspective on how EFL learners perceive spontaneity in unscripted role-play activities. The findings are expected to broaden the understanding of EFL learners' experiences in engaging in script-free role-playing.

Abstract

Reading is one of the four language skills that should be mastered in language learning. It is usually taught in integration with one of the other language skills (listening speaking, and writing) in the new trends of language instruction. Generally, the teaching of reading as a foreign language (EFL reading) in PTKIN aims at enabling students to read and comprehend texts and other materials written in English.  The study is conducted to overcome the students’ difficulties in reading comprehension and encourage students to actively participate in the teaching-learning process through Question-Answer Relationship (QAR) strategy. The strategy offers four levels of questions (i.e., Right There, Think and Search, Author and Me, and On My Own) to help students answer each level of questions. This strategy comprises three phases: prereading, during-reading, and post reading activities. It is applicable for teaching reading comprehension since it can help and guide the students in comprehending a text well based on the levels of questions.
