Abstract

This research took a closer look at data from an Indonesian public university database that showed that, as of November 2022, 14,44% of English department final-year students from 2017 in a teacher training and education faculty were still working on their theses. Data was gathered through qualitative research using document analysis and interviews to examine the topics, methodologies, and students' experiences writing an undergraduate thesis. The findings showed that the students' theses covered seven topics: teaching and learning, English skills, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, translation, content analysis, and research and development (R & D). This research found factors contributing to students' challenges in completing their thesis writing during the COVID-19 pandemic, including students' relationships with supervisors, failure to focus, lack of motivation, and difficulties locating relevant references. Additionally, the students used several strategies to help finish their theses on time, for example, setting specific goals, having a study partner, and reading various related sources. This research adds to the body of knowledge on undergraduate students' difficulties and the strategies used in completing their theses during the pandemic. This research is expected to provide insight into possible interventions to assist students in overcoming the difficult task of writing a thesis, primarily when most of the research process is still online.

Abstract

This qualitative case study aimed to investigate teachers’ challenges and strategies in teaching English as a foreign language using a Plus curriculum, a self-designed curriculum that combines the national curriculum and the Pesantren (Islamic boarding school) curriculum. This study involved two English teachers at a private Indonesian Madrasah Aliyah (Islamic Senior High School) in Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The research revealed several internal and external challenges encountered by the teachers when teaching English using this combined curriculum. Internal challenges included three aspects: teachers' abilities to utilize ICT in teaching, designing lesson plans, and enhancing students' learning motivation. External challenges included two aspects: managing limited time allocation and dealing with inadequate learning facilities. Despite these teaching challenges, the researchers identified several strategies employed by the teachers to overcome the challenges. These strategies include improving their practical knowledge in using ICT, tailoring teaching materials and methods with learning objectives, applying various motivational strategies, providing extra time for informal learning after school, and ensuring students’ access to necessary learning facilities and resources.

Abstract

A proposal seminar presentation is one of the compulsory activities that university students must undertake before writing their thesis. This usually causes anxiety for students because they have to present their research proposals in front of lecturers as reviewers. Therefore, this study aims to identify the types and causes of speaking anxiety among English Education Department students at Universitas Syiah Kuala during their proposal seminar presentations. This study used a descriptive qualitative design in which questionnaires, interviews and observation were employed as research instruments. The data were collected from ten students who were presenting their research proposals. The analysis, involving percentages and transcript examination, revealed three types of speaking anxiety: test anxiety, communication apprehension, and fear of evaluation. Test anxiety emerged as the most prevalent type. Additionally, the study identified three primary factors contributing to speaking anxiety: fear of making mistakes, insufficient knowledge, and low self-confidence.
