Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relative effect of Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) teaching approach on tertiary EFL students’ writing. During two months, sixty EFL University students enrolling in basic writing course took part in this project and were divided into experimental and control groups. Pre- and post-tests were carried out to garner the intended data pertinent to the students’ writing scores. A mixed-design ANOVA was carried out to analyze the changes of writing scores of the respective groups since the assumption of homogeneity of regression slopes for the planned Analysis of Covariance was not met. The statistical evidence showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of writing scores at the significant value sig .00 < .05. The data also suggested that students who were taught using SRSD relatively outperformed their counterparts in the control group. The empirical evidence demonstrates that the use of SRSD as an instructional approach to some extent positively affects EFL students’ writing skill.

Abstract

AbstractOne of the prominent skills to be acquired by English language learners is Language learning strategies (LLSs) which is significant to enhance communicative competence. Individual’s differences in using the strategies depict their understanding on LLSs. An interesting fact on the result of Manajemen Dakwah Department Students (MDDSs) at State Islamic University (UIN) of Mataram in the odd semester of academic year 2018-2019 was 64 students got higher average English scores in their final test (88) compared to their middle test (65) that might reflect different use of LLS. The English subject was focusing on reading comprehension. Furthermore, descriptive qualitative case study was applied to record the dominant LLSs used by ten successful students or achievers in English class who has the criteria of achieving English score above 90. Three instruments were used to gather data, they are: documentation, questionnaire, and interview. The result shows that students used all LLSs and creating their own learning opportunities. Only HN that did not use social strategy though he used all other strategies. It means that successful MDDSs believe that exactly all LLSs are significant for elevating their language learning. Another result shows that the dominant LLSs which were used are compensation as they are good guesser for the unfamiliar words, memory strategy since they always try to memorize to retain the vocabulary in mind, and metacognitive strategy where they always create best setting for them to learn. Keywords: Language Learning Strategies, MDDSs, Dominant LLSs, English Scores.

Abstract

Due to the central role of speaking skill and its escalating demands of instruction in various levels of education in Indonesia, a myriad of teaching approaches and strategies have been applied to equip learners with the competences enabling the development of this skill. As a widespread approach to English language teaching (ELT), which gains its popularity within the context of EFL, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is geared towards learners’ communicative competence comprising of grammatical competence, discourse competence, sociolinguistic competence, and strategic competence as the underlying abilities of speaking proficiency. The development of these competences can be better facilitated when learning takes its place both in and outside classrooms as the latter provides potential promises for learners’ speaking proficiency development. For this reason, this paper presents learners’ challenges for learning speaking, the model activities in and outside classrooms, the importance of speaking instruction and the components of communicative competence and speaking proficiency.

Abstract

Self-regulated learning skills are essential for students since self-regulated learners are more responsible for their own learning. Drawing on Zimmerman’s (2000) framework regarding self-regulation, this narrative study looked closely into self-regulatory behaviors of English student-teachers and the ways they regulated their Extensive Listening activities. The data were gathered from students’ learning journals and semi-structured interview. Two EFL student-teachers from an English department of an Indonesian University who were successfully managing their consistency in their Extensive Listening activities were selected as the participants. The findings showed that EFL student teachers used their self-regulatory behavior strategies in different cyclical phases (forethought, performance or volitional control, and self-reflection) in Extensive Listening activities. By experiencing and knowing what self-regulatory behavior strategies they use and how they are used, English student-teachers are expected to be able to transmit their knowledge of self-regulation in learning to their students in the future of ELT teaching.
