The research method used is qualitative design. Interviews, paperwork, and tests were used to gather data, which was then identified, categorized, and explained (calculated), and errors were assessed. The results demonstrate that pupils made mistakes in addition, subtraction, miss-formation, and ordering. There were 264 mistakes in total.  There were 23% omission errors, 13% addition errors, 57% miss-formation errors, and 7% miss-ordering errors.  There were 68 errors in omission, which may be divided into 8 prepositional, 10 article, 28 to be, 17 subject, and 5 noun omissions. When crafting a sentence, the students failed to include grammatical morphemes, certain necessary components of proper sentences, and the items that belong in the phrase. The 28 addition errors were divided into 3 noun addition errors, 2 preposition addition errors, 12 article addition errors, 1 conjunction addition error, 9 to be addition errors, and 1 auxiliary addition error. 140 miss-formation mistakes, divided into 14 categories. 20 misspelled words, 16 misspelled plural words, fifteen word choice/word form, eight possessive form, five auxiliary, twenty-three present verb for third-person singular, six subjects, nine, preposition, ten verbs, twenty pronouns, and thirty-two misspelled articles. Incorrect morpheme placement was frequently cited as the cause of the students' sentences' incorrect order. In this investigation, 23 miss-ordering problems were discovered.

Abstract

Authentic assessment includes alternative assessments that engage students through authentic tasks with authentic materials. It includes performance assessment, portfolio, self-assessment, etc. These types of assessment may help teacher to monitor students’ learning progress and attitudes. In response to that, the present study aimed to discover students’ responses regarding the application of authentic assessment to help them read longer English texts. To achieve the purpose of the study, a case study was employed. Data were gathered from 16 week-observation, students’ work, and forms of students’ self-assessment. The results of the study revealed that despite a shift on the students’ motivation and learning behavior, a positive trend was indicated. At the beginning, students tended to show anxiety and hesitance when expressing their interpretation of reading text during in-class discussions. Throughout the time, they gradually invested more efforts, specifically in demonstrating their thoughts of reading materials. Additionally, the number of students actively delivering opinions were increasing.

Abstract

In the realm of BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing) learning, learners grapple with a myriad of challenges, chief among them being the linguistic disparities between their native language (L1) and the target language (L2) they are striving to acquire. Mandarin Chinese, in particular, presents a unique challenge due to its partial incorporation of the /r/ sound, albeit to a lesser extent compared to Indonesian, and its distinct articulation, which varies markedly from other languages. Moreover, the pronunciation of this sound can differ among various Chinese dialects, adding an additional layer of complexity for Chinese learners of Indonesian. This study pursues three primary objectives: (1) the identification of sound changes in the /r/ sound; (2) the classification of the various types of sound changes affecting the /r/ sound; and (3) the identification of common sound changes associated with the /r/ sound within this specific learner group. To achieve these aims, a quantitative descriptive analysis methodology was employed. The research data were collected through voice recordings of 16 students enrolled in the fifth semester of the undergraduate program in Indonesian Studies at Zhejiang Yuexiu University of Foreign Languages, China. The results of the study unveiled a spectrum of phonetic proficiency levels and challenges among the participants. Notably, 75% of respondents demonstrated accurate pronunciation of the /r/ sound, showcasing a high level of proficiency in this aspect of their language acquisition. However, 15% exhibited a tendency to replace the sound with /l/, highlighting a specific area that requires targeted pedagogical interventions. Additionally, 5% grappled with zeroization, completely omitting this sound, underscoring the necessity for focused language instruction. In only 1% of instances, respondents produced words that were unidentifiable due to potential omissions, necessitating further investigation. Further research is strongly encouraged to explore the effectiveness of customized phonetic training programs and their correlation with learners' linguistic backgrounds in shaping pronunciation proficiency among Chinese students studying Indonesian.

Abstract

Using a video to reflect teaching  practice in EFL settings has been widely investigated. However, EFL preservice teachers’ engagement in  video stimulated reflection (VSR) process in teaching practicum context has been under researched. To fill this gap, this study aims to examine how EFL preservice teachers engaged in VSR during their teaching practicum. The phenomenological approach combined with the case study was used to make sense of EFL preservice teachers’ experience in reflecting their teaching practices stimulated by video during their teaching practicum. Data of the study were garnered from EFL preservice teachers’ multiple reflective writings. To ensure the accuracy and to avoid misinterpretation of the data, member checking was done. Engagement framework proposed by Bowden and Naumann was used as an analytical tool of the present study.  The findings of the study revealed that  EFL preservice teachers were cognitively, emotionally, socially and behaviorally engaged in video-stimulated reflection during their teaching practicum. These empirical findings provide insighs that EFL preservice teachers’ behavioral, emotional, social and cognitive engagement can be promoted through VSR that is crucial to improve their teaching quality. Recommendation and future studies are also discussed.

Abstract

Current digital era has influenced the education system to provide technology-oriented activity in the classroom. The development of online formative assessment tools is one of the impacts of this digital revolution. This study aims at providing the perception of the university students on the use of one of online assessment tools called Plickers. The participants of this study consist of 11 pharmacy faculty students who got an English training. The use of Plickers was on their formative assessment of the English training. A semi-structured interview was conducted in order to gain the data. The interview focused on two research questions:(1) How do the university students compare traditional method with Plickers for English formative assessment? and (2) How are their perceptions on Plickers for English formative assessment? The results showed that the students had positive perceptions toward Plickers. When comparing Plickers to the traditional assessment method, the participants found that Plickers was more modern, more fun, and more effective and efficient. This study also elaborates the strength and the weakness of the Plickers in terms of the specific application. These findings could provide more insight on the use of Plickers for the assessment especially in Indonesian education.

Abstract

Teachers play a critical role in addressing the learning loss due to the Covid-19 school disruption by creating various strategies to overcome the loss. This paper aims to investigate several factors which impact to student’s performance and teachers’ efforts in overcoming the learning loss during Covid-19 pandemic. In a qualitative method with an open-ended survey and interview, 35 high school English teachers with at least 3 years of experience shared their experiences to overcome the learning loss. 10 teachers are clarifying their strategies to cope with learning loss due to Covid-19 school disruption by inadeptly interviewed. The thematic analysis of the data found that the teachers' strategies to overcome learning loss, teacher-student interaction, curriculum adaptation, and support from the government and school [1]. Most of the English teachers perceived that learning loss happened due to the lack of teacher-student interaction, inadequate facilities, and inauthentic writing skills during the Covid-19 pandemic. To overcome this, teachers adapted English modules with media technology to simplify English lessons and build learning independence despite the incomprehensive lessons. The support from the government and school-ICT training, technology teaching tools, internet, and E-learning sources - helps teachers reduce the learning loss possibility. The findings indicated the importance of supportive and adaptive English teachers in mitigating learning loss due to Covid-19 school disruption.
