Abstract

The change in the learning system from the previous teacher-centeredness to learner-centeredness makes the students demand to take responsibility, manage learning, and implement knowledge to become autonomous learners, especially in speaking class. However, in learning to speak, teachers dominate most learning activities, making students passive to take their responsibilities. Because of this problem, teachers must be innovative and engage students in interactive learning activities to make them active by using technology. One of the ways is through video recording. Previous studies claimed that students who used video recording in speaking class improved their speaking competencies and self-confidence. Nevertheless, previous studies mainly focused on students’ speaking competence rather than learner autonomy. Hence, this study aims to investigate learner autonomy in speaking class with video recording. The participants of this study were an English lecturer and students taking a Public Speaking Class at one university in Surabaya. During a series of data collection activities, the researcher observed how the lecturer introduced video recording implementation and did the interview to know how the students implemented their autonomy in learning speaking through video recording. The result showed that the lecturer was active in encouraging students to develop their learning responsibility and independence by implementing reactive autonomy. As a result, students delivered speeches on video recording through the learner autonomy stages properly

Abstract

The present study aims at examining the challenges confronted by the lecturers and the practical ways in teaching writing online. A qualitative research method was applied to get a deep understanding of the objective of this study. The data were collected through interviews and documentation. In obtaining the data, three English lecturers of UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang were interviewed by using a semi-structured interview. In addition, the supporting documents related to teaching writing online, such as teaching journals, teaching documents, and students’ portfolios were also gathered to enrich the data of the present study. The findings revealed that the challenges faced by the lecturers in teaching writing online include the students’ problems in internet connections and the difficulty in maintaining the students' writing process. It was difficult for the lecturers to ensure the originality of students' works; thus, the lecturers were unable to assess the actual student’s ability in writing. However, the lecturers did some practical ways to overcome the challenges in teaching writing online. Firstly, the lecturers applied synchronous and asynchronous meetings in the process of teaching and learning by utilizing some Learning Management Systems as online learning media. Secondly, the lecturers used Turnitin to check the originality of students’ works. Finally, the lecturers applied peer feedback to improve students writing skills.

Abstract

Providing fruitful instructional material is essential to enhancing the learning process. One of the instructional materials is in the form of a teaching module. This qualitative study aimed at analyzing the content of an English teaching module entitled “Practical English” which was used by non-English majoring students. The evaluation checklist proposed by Chunningsworth was adopted to examine some aspects of the teaching module including the organization of the teaching module, grammar, language skills, listening, speaking, reading, writing, topic and subject content, learner needs, and learning/teaching procedures. In addition, a post-use evaluation was carried out to find the strengths and the shortcomings of the book, which gave an invaluable overview that could be applied to prepare further instructional materials. The results of the present study revealed that the book met most criteria of the evaluation checklist. The teaching module was well organized and presented integrated language skills including listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a meaningful context by providing authentic materials to engage students in realistic contexts. The vocabulary development material in the teaching module, however, was its weak point. The book lacked an index of language terms as well as any clear explanation of vocabulary based on semantic links. In short, the findings of the present study could be valuable for EFL teachers in providing teaching modules as instructional materials to boost successful learning

Abstract

This study scrutinizes the common types of directive speech act performed by the teacher in the form of written feedback along with its function classification. Descriptive qualitative was used as the research design. For data collection, observation and documentation were used to obtain utterances performed by the speaker. In this regard, one English lecturer at one of universities in Indonesia was chosen teaching one class under the subject of Advanced Reading. Then, thematic analysis was used to analyze and categorize the data set. There were 81 number of data found from this study as directive speech act in the teacher feedback. This study revealed that direct acts were dominant with 50 data while the indirect acts consisted of 31 data. Furthermore, out of six (6) types of directive speech acts, the findings demonstrated that the function of requestives and questions were the most frequent acts performed by the teacher in the feedback. The result of this study suggested that the further research may take account into different criteria of giving feedback, such as the other types of speech acts, the teacher gender, and the subject of the class.

Abstract

Much research on language acquisition, from nativist to interactionist, describes Morpheme Order Studies as a major development in second language acquisition.  This paper intended to discuss how spoken data from a Japanese student could be used to indicate the level of acquisition of English morphemes attained via the processability theory but actually determined that an order of acquisition does not necessarily apply.  Results showed that the informant varied in success in supplying correct morphemes in obligatory contexts, that her first language did not interfere with her second language acquisition and the accuracy of using morpheme order sequence to determine the level of acquisition breaks down because learner’s developmental sequence is unpredictable.

Abstract

The phenomenon of fossilization as the feature of interlanguage has been acknowledged and studied many times since the emergence of the theory proposed by Selinker which came into existence in the field of SLA in 1972. The premise of interlanguage as a separate language system used by second language learners as well as foreign language learners in learning their target language is credited to Selinker. Fossilization in interlanguage is coined by Selinker and is generally defined as a cessation of learning the target language. Nevertheless, the notion that interlanguage is fossilized is still open to question. Thus, this present study aims to provide insight to the reader about the concept of fossilization by defining and characterizing interlanguage and fossilization in second and foreign language acquisition, discussing the causes of fossilization in interlanguage development, as well as examining the relationship between interlanguage development and Universal Grammar principle in an attempt to help the reader better grasp and comprehend the phenomenon.
