Abstract

Critical thinking is an essential skill in education due to the demands of the 21st century, especially in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. Nonetheless, the inclusion of critical thinking in English classroom can be quite challenging, particularly for pre-service teachers. This research deals with the integration of critical thinking into teaching modules conducted by pre-service English teachers at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya, focusing on lesson plan and instructional method. The study used a case study approach, analyzing teaching modules of twelve pre-service teachers. Bloom's taxonomy and a five-step critical thinking model were used to see the incorporation of critical thinking skills in their teaching modules. Interview was also carried out to elicit information on their way of incorporating critical thinking in their English instruction as related to the document analyzed. The results shows that the pre-service teachers exercised natural, effective thinking through well-defined objectives, questioning method, practical learning with feedback and reflection as a way to incorporate critical thinking through their teaching module. The result that they are aware of their role in supporting the students in developing their critical thinking while teaching English. The implications of the insights from the study signal considerable potential contributions for increased structured approaches to critical thinking instruction in EFL and a general commitment to reflective practice and responsive lesson design in English Language Teaching. The results have important implications for the integration of language education with critical thinking so that students become equipped with essential skills required in the 21st century.

Abstract

This research focuses on the use of participation cues in the communication and expression of players in MOBA games. The MOBA games studied are Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, League of Legends: Wild Rift, and Pokémon Unite. Participation cues are used to allow players to inform each other about the progress of the game. The qualitative descriptive method was used in this research. In answering the formulation problems, participation cue theory by Keating and Sunakawa (2010) was used, which was elaborated by Bartle (1996) about player types. The data in this study are textual and visual, consisting of verbal and non-verbal forms of communication. The data was collected using playing and documentation techniques, and then analysed using Spradley (1997). From the research conducted, it can be concluded that the most common participation cues used by players are verbal cues, which have the characteristics of Achiever players. Verbal cues are used by players to express themselves directly to players so that the goals they want to achieve together can be realised. This research uses the term 'participation cue' to invite further research into communication strategy in games.

Abstract

Indonesia is renowned for its abundant ethnic and cultural diversity, where each community upholds its unique language and traditions. This study aims to delve into the sociolinguistic dynamics in the digital age, focusing particularly on the Minang language as a cultural emblem. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research meticulously delineates the distinctive features of the Minang language as an inseparable facet of cultural heritage. Methodologically, a literature review is employed to gather data from diverse secondary sources such as books, literature, and relevant media, subsequently subjecting them to content analysis techniques to decipher the meanings embedded in expert expressions and perspectives within the realm of scholarly discourse. The findings underscore the intricate impact of the digital era on the Minangkabau language and culture, encompassing the pervasive influence of technology and mass media on its usage, preservation, and evolution within society. The dynamics of urbanization and population mobility also wield significant influence, presenting challenges in preserving traditional cultural practices amidst the currents of modern urban life. To safeguard the rich tapestry of Minangkabau culture, concerted efforts are imperative, including educational initiatives rooted in local cultural values, leveraging digital technologies for cultural documentation and advocacy, alongside governmental support and active engagement from local communities. Collaborative endeavors across sectors are envisaged as pivotal in safeguarding the Minangkabau language as a cherished symbol of cultural identity, resonating not just locally but also on the global stage increasingly interconnected in the digital era.
