Abstract

This study explored the writing difficulties of struggling writers and attempted to improve their performance in argumentative writing using Self-Regulated Strategy Development approach (SRSD). Using a diagnostic writing test, 39 senior high school students were identified as struggling writers in a secondary school. The participants were involved in a four-week writing intervention. During the process, they were trained to write using two writing strategies. The scoring of the outputs in the diagnostic and post-tests was mediated by two inter-raters following the criteria on writing performance (Jacobs et al., 1981). Initial results showed that struggling writers tend to perform poorly in all areas of writing performance. But after the intervention, the essay of the participants improved in terms of scores and characteristics. The study further explores the activities that worked during the intervention and the perception of participants towards their writing performance. Finally, implications to teaching argumentative writing to struggling writers are provided based on the intervention process.

Abstract

New technology advancements have frequently been credited as holding the potential to cause significant contributions to education. This study contributes to high-quality learning by putting students in real-world e-learning situations while still allowing them to use scientific techniques to complete their project assignments. The subjects of this study were 80 first-year undergraduate students enrolled in the Bahasa Inggris (English) course. The snowball method questionnaire was obtained, and questionnaires were distributed to the students’ WhatsApp groups by performing snowball operational. The Lectures combined virtual face-to-face video conferencing applications on e-learning. Kahoot is an add-on application used. In general, online learning has a positive effect on students’ learning success. However, there are still learning obstacles in academic performance in online learning. On the other hand, learning obstacles occur because of students' limitations in developing themselves or their mental readiness to learn. As a result, digital learning may blend real issues with theoretical concepts in the classroom without neglecting the learning objectives that have been set for student engagement.

The collected quantitative data were analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program. The finding shows that the result of r-calculation for learners’ self-efficacy and their reading score is .765. The score of significance level is < 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05) which means that Ha was accepted and H0 was rejected. This score indicates that there is a positive correlation between the two variables.

Meanwhile, college students (one academic semester) actively animate them in complex projects with real speaking experiences that indicate the novice L2 learner views speaking skills in the communication context. In addition, students perform reflective activities that revive them articulate the relevance and implications of the experience for continuing learning to link the academic, employability skills and knowledge they generate through these projects. To fill this study discloses a narrative case study that investigates how vocational college students (N=55) develop their experiential learning as a cognition process in learning English and learn 21st-century communication by self-produced video as novice L2 learners. Drawing on the contribution of psycholinguistics' perceptions (cognitive theory) and language exposure of students' experiential learning, focus on speaking skills through a video project. The study concluded that creating practical activities as experiential learning helps novice L2 learners successfully communicate and be aware of a cognitive area in learning English during online learning.
