Abstract

The global competition between universities encourages an increase in the number of article publications in various international journal publishers. The demand to have article publication is unequal with the ability of academic writing skill, primarily by graduate students who are mostly novice writers. This study aims to determine the efforts of postgraduate students to publish their articles in reputable international scientific journals in the framework of the process of academic writing. This study used questionnaires and interviews as a method to obtain data from postgraduates majoring in chemistry who have Scopus indexed publications. The chemistry students have difficulties in finding a topic, organizing paragraphs, revising the article, and proofreading. This study expected to be a reference for academics who want to have Scopus-indexed publications and can be developed into teaching materials to provide practical steps for students in writing.

Abstract

This paper is intended to discuss the result and the performance of KPN student’s achievement through Computer Based Assessment (CBA) as the media in doing the summative test. This test refers to as assessment of learning, and aims to measure the student’s performance at the end of their course and based on the syllabus or the course textbook given by the teacher. Since the English teacher is having a burden in correcting the student’s paper examination manually in giving the feedback of the test, so this CBA model is one kind of the best solution. The method used in collecting the data is by qualitative approach. The students are given 100 multiple choice questions and the time allotment in answering the questions is about 60 minutes. There are 140 students who do the test by CBA model. From the result of the test, it can be found that there are 29% students who get score in length of 85-100, 26% get score in length of 70 – 84, 21% get score in length of 60-69, 11% get score in length of 50-59, and 13% get score in length of 31– 49. By having known this test result instantly, the teacher can decide to do the remedial test in order to increase the students’ English achievement and master the English knowledge given during one semester. This remedial test by using CBA model is very helpful for teacher in knowing the student’s achievement without spending much time in doing correction.

Abstract

The focus of this paper is to analyze the domination and resistance in the domestic area as portrayed in Maugham‟s The Colonel’s Lady. The special aims are to analyze the factors that trigger the wife‟s resistance, the kind of resistance carried out by the wife, and the impacts of the wife‟s resistance on the husband. The analysis is supported by the concept of power by Foucault, the concepts of resistance and how to face domination by Vinthagen and Johanson, Husu, Butler et al., Cohen and Taylor, and Woolf. The qualitative method is used in the contextual analysis focusing on the character, conflict, and setting. The result shows that the wife subtly resists the constricting patriarchal atmosphere in the household by constructing a private area in which she actualizes herself in the world of poetry. Her great success enables her to enter a new and different zone where she is the star. This makes the husband feel uncomfortable and even insulted but he cannot do anything because his wife still shows her respect to him and she does nothing unlawful against him.

Abstract

The aim of my talk is to explore the relationship between student-centred learning (SCL) and extensive reading (ER), and how to bring the two closer together in the classroom. I will first (re)examine the concepts behind SCL and the key features normally associated with this approach to learning, i.e., the degree of personalized learning, level of student engagement and motivation, and student control over learning. I will then discuss the theoretical underpinnings (e.g., input theory and skill learning theory) and key characteristics (e.g., appropriate reading materials in terms of choice and variety) of ER in order to determine the extent to which ER is compatible with SCL. I will then provide research evidence demonstrating how the marriage between SCL and ER could lead to enhanced student learning, i.e., greater mastery of the target language and a more positive attitude towards language learning.

Abstract

This article reported a pedagogical attempt to facilitate students verbal creativity (hereafter: VC) in EFL writing course. This study was aimed at (1) providing students with learning activities that would promote students VC; (2) promoting students VC in EFL writing class; and (3) revealing students perception towards the implementation of the pedagogical attempt in promoting students VC. To achieve the aims, a collaborative action research was employed. The subject of this study was 30 of the second-grade students of English Education Department in a private university in East Java, Indonesia. The data in this study was taken from class observation, VC test, and in-depth interview. The results show that (1) the nine-learning-step proposed by Avila (2015) was implemented. Those nine steps are remembering English grammar and structure, creating a fictional story, promoting creative writing, boosting vocabulary through screen writing, sharing a speech, circle life, drawing and speaking, asking and answering questions, and asking the students to create their own activities. (2) From the VC test, it was also revealed that through Avilas (2015) nine-learning-step, the students’ VC are facilitated and promoted. (3) The students also have positive attitude and positive feedback towards the implementation of the nine-learning-step. The findings of this study might have implications to EFL writing teachers and students.

Abstract

Textbook is seen as language input for language learners to achieve the learning objectives. However, not all of the materials in the textbook are suitable with the learners‟ need. Thus, textbook analysis is needed to evaluate the quality of the textbook to be able to fulfill the learners‟ need. The aim of this study is to find out the strengths and weaknesses of the writing materials which are used by office administration students in SMK. This study used descriptive qualitative design with book analysis and interview method to collect the data. The data sources of this study were English Textbook entitled “Get Along with English for Vocational School Grade XI Elementary Level” and the English teachers. The findings show that the textbook has several strengths and weaknesses. The textbook contains the explanation about grammar with a wide range of activities. It also provides the glossary at the end of every chapter. Unfortunately, the contents are too general and not specialized for office administration study program. It also does not focus on writing activities and has no explanation about the use of punctuation.

Abstract

Aside from their main responsibility as educators, English teachers certainly need to regularly sharpen the saw or keep improving their professionalism. These demand both understanding of theoretical foundation and practical applications of interconnected aspects of EFL teaching and learning. This paper reports a case of a teacher professional development program in reflective teaching, motivating and engaging learners, and ICT applications for language learning. These topics are chosen as they are considered essential for EFL teachers who strive for a process of building expertise. This two-day workshop elaborates experts as plenary speakers to share theoretical foundation of the three areas and teachers as parallel presenters to demonstrate good practice of their teaching experience. A quantitative assessment at the end of the training results in positive responses from the participants along with evaluations on how this model of teacher development program could be improved. As a post-workshop activity some teacher participants are assisted and facilitated to implement the material. Techniques of engaging reading and ICT use for language skill practice are chosen. Finally, six points of reflection from the committee and an external reviewer provide another assessment, evaluations, and recommendations for the program improvement.
