Abstract

Curriculum changes directly impact learning objectives, content selection, and the use of coursebooks as learning resources. In reality, teachers tend to choose coursebooks that are different from the curriculum direction. This study aims to determine how teachers view the selection of German coursebooks and what criteria they used to decide coursebooks for teaching in secondary school. Respondents were 20 teachers in Yogyakarta and Central Java. We use a qualitative descriptive approach to analyse interview-based data and records through reduction techniques, categorisation, verification and conclusion. The results showed that 75% of teachers want to choose books independently, not determined by the national curriculum on a mandatory level. This study proposed thirteen criteria for book selection based on the data analysis obtained from respondents. From these criteria, teachers can make priority choices and apply selected coursebooks to lessons.

Abstract

The current research aimed at investigating the authorial identity through explicit self-mention markers (I, me, my, we, us, and our) in English research articles written by Indonesian authors. For this purpose, we employed a mix-methods research design consisting of two analysis phases. First, the quantitative analysis was represented by analyzing the frequency of self-mention markers in the corpus of 200 linguistics and applied linguistics research articles using the corpus tool AntConc ver. 3.9.5 (Anthony, 2020). The corpus was compiled from ten journals indexed in SINTA 1 and 2 in the latest five years (2017-2021). Second, the qualitative phase was represented by concordance analysis to interpret the discourse function of self-mention markers in use. We refer to Hyland's taxonomy (Hyland, 2002). Our findings have discovered that Indonesian authors use self-mention in various functions. This research shows the novice authors the extent to which authors can exploit self-mention markers in English research articles and how expert authors in reputable national journals use self mention markers to obtain essential functions to mark their authorial identity. Thus, this research is expected to add insight to EAP/ESL courses to encourage novice writers to construct and represent their identity in conveying their arguments firmly using these self-mentions markers.

Abstract

This research aims to know whether the jigsaw learning strategy is better than the audio-lingual method to teach speaking. This experimental research was carried out in the vocational school. The population was four classes (140 students) of eleventh grade A, B, C, D, and E. The samples were the eleventh grade A as the experimental group and B as the control group. Each group consists of 30 students. The experimental group was taught using the Jigsaw learning strategy, while the control group used the Audio-Lingual Method. The data collection technique was through the speaking test, and the data analysis technique was through descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The data analysis shows that the mean score of the students who were taught by using the jigsaw learning strategy is 81,23, while the mean score of the students who were taught by using the audio-lingual method is 76,03. Moreover, the Fo (8,77) is higher than Ft (4,00) at the significance level of significance α= 0,05, which means the null hypotheses are rejected, and the alternative hypotheses are accepted. In conclusion, the jigsaw learning strategy is more effective than the audio-lingual method to teach speaking.

Abstract

Academic enjoyment, a positive emotion obtained from engaging in academic tasks, is positively related to the key indicators of academic outcomes, including learning strategy, academic engagement, motivation, and achievement. However, more studies are needed to understand the association between academic enjoyment and achievement, especially in the field of teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) in the Chinese context. This study aimed to investigate the mediating roles of organizational strategies and behavioural engagement in the relationship between academic enjoyment and EFL achievement. Data were collected from 499 Chinese secondary EFL learners during the seventh and eighth grades. Structural equation model (SEM) analyses found that academic enjoyment was positively linked to EFL achievement through the mediating roles of organizational strategy, behavioural engagement, and their chain relationship. The findings sorted out the theoretical framework of “academic enjoyment → organizational strategy → behavioural engagement → achievement”. Limitations and implications are discussed.

Abstract

This paper is geared by my perceptual understanding on insights of teaching English as an international language (TEIL). It firstly departs from my conservative belief that the best English to teach is British and American. Apparently, these English(es), shaped by the linguistic imperialism, are the ‘only perfect’ language in the international communication. However, my mind has altered to be paradoxically blessed with the knowledge I gain from reading studies on World Englishes(WEs) and English as an international language (EIL) issues extensively, for instance, works by Kachru (1985, 2005); Zacharias (2003); Floris (2013); Mukminatien (2012); Renandya (2013); and Kirpatrick (2007). Their works on both EIL and WEs have broadened my narrow-minded perspectives on the issues. For this tenet, the paper reflects on my identity construction as a language learner which has been anchored amidst the issues of incorporating WEs in English education curriculum. It seems problematic, however, to realize this idea since the curriculum of English language teaching in Indonesia excludes this issue. It is for this purpose then that the present paper highlights the issue of WEs in the teaching of English and my identity construction as a language learner. Suggestions for inserting WEs in teaching English is also discussed at the end of this paper.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the appropriateness of speaking content in Class XII vocational high school English textbooks in light of the new Indonesian curriculum, the Kurikulum Merdeka. The transition from the Kurikulum 2013 to the Kurikulum Merdeka requires teachers to modify teaching materials, making it important to understand if existing English textbooks can be adapted. The research methodology was qualitative and descriptive, utilizing document analysis of the students' English textbook, "Bahasa Inggris". Data was collected through document checklists and interviews, with a focus on speaking assignments. The study was guided by Nunan and Brown's theory and the results indicated that the speaking tasks in the textbook met five criteria for effective speaking assignments, as specified by Brown's theory. The majority of the speaking assignments were intensive speaking with good to excellent rankings, followed by imitative, responsive, interactive, and extensive speaking. The results suggest that the textbook's speaking content is suitable for use in teaching materials aimed at achieving the speaking skills outlined in the Kurikulum Merdeka.
