Abstract

This study was conducted to examine how the ELT teacher implements creative writing through poetry in the ELT classroom during pandemic and to describe how the students express their emotions through tone of poetry in their creative writing. It is due to the existence of creative writing in language teaching and learning practice is significant to gaining students’ creativity and thinking. One of them is writing poetry. However, few literatures discussed on the method used by teachers through writing poems as well as the concern for emotion and tone embedded in students’ writing products. This study used qualitative descriptive with Indonesian EFL university students of the non-English department at an Islamic University in Indonesia as the participants. The result shows that teachers use student-centered methods to implement creative writing through poetry in the classroom during the global COVID-19 pandemic. The meeting was organized using Zoom Meeting with performing Warm-Up, Lead-In (Creation of Poem and Reading the Poem), and Follow-up. In addition, it was also found that the student’s creative works posted on Instagram were based on the negative variations of poetry tone including threatening, painful, and discouraged. The study underscores the pedagogical efficacy of student-centered creative writing in ELT, highlighting its role in enhancing emotional intelligence and validating the integration of digital platforms for remote learning. It advocates for culturally responsive curricula that leverage creative expression as a conduit for emotional articulation and critical thinking

Abstract

The educational domain, like other spheres of human endeavour, was impelled to improvise and undergo unforeseen transitions because of covid19. These transitions, among other things, affected teaching and learning processes that had to shift from physical to online mode. Dissimilar to traditional learning approaches such as cognitivism and constructivism which emphasise the cruciality of learning context, connectivism is underpinned by the notion that learning is disseminated through networks using diverse virtual learning platforms. In the case of blind students, these learning platforms require up-to-date technologies for accessibility purposes. The availability of updated technologies is an outstanding matter in most Historically Disadvantaged Institutions (HDI) of higher learning. This disadvantages the affected students in terms of academic progression. Thus, this study aims to divulge the challenges faced by blind students at HDI of higher learning through the Connectivism paradigm. A qualitative descriptive design will undergird the study. Five blind students from HDI will be purposively sampled and interviewed. The findings will be presented and analysed through Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA), and viable recommendations will be made.

Abstract

The discussion chapter holds a paramount position in a thesis, being regarded as the most crucial and challenging part to compose, particularly for university students. The present genre investigation highlighted the focus on language use and communicative practices. This research seeks to investigate the rhetorical organization, moves, and steps, employed by Indonesian postgraduates while writing the discussion chapter of their theses within the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). We examined five theses from postgraduate students whose data were obtained from the university repository. Data were analyzed with the framework proposed by Chen and Kuo (2012). The overall word count is 9204 words. From the analysis conducted, it was found that Move 2 Step 1: Reporting major findings (41.4%), Move 4 Step 2: comparing the results with literature (21.9%), and Move 4 Step 3: accounting for results (20.7%) were highly used in the data. However, two steps were least used in the data; namely, Move 3 Step 1: making conclusions of results and Move 6 Step 2: indicating the significance of the study. Our findings provide insights into how postgraduates structure their arguments, present findings, and interact with existing literature.

The study's findings indicate that: First, help students practice speaking aloud without pressure. Secondly, encouraging their creative learning and speaking. Third, concentrate on assisting the students in developing their speaking skills. Just have fun when they speak, that's all. The disadvantage is that students may find it challenging to understand and accurately pronounce terms used in the text. In order to look up challenging terms, students can implement lively game combinations. The researcher offers suggestions for future research, educators, and students in this study.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented intelligence (AuI) in an open distance e-learning university, focusing on lecturers’ and students’ experiences. Using qualitative methods: focus group discussions and e-mail interviews, it examines the adoption and exploration of these technologies, particularly in academic writing skills development. The research applies diffusion of innovations theory and technology acceptance model to understand the dissemination and acceptance of AI and AuI, emphasising perceived ease of use and usefulness. It contrasts perspectives between lecturers and students, revealing varied views on AI utilisation in academic writing. Despite differences, both groups express positive experiences and benefits from AI. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the transformative impact of AI and AuI on teaching and learning in a distance learning university. AI has far-reaching effects on lecturers, students, and policymakers as they navigate the integration of intelligent systems in distance learning contexts.

From the result of interview which was then associated with the result of observations during the teaching and learning process and then compared it with the result of the questionnaire, it can be seen that the application of the lecture method through the explanation of the material from the lecturer make students easier to understand the material than having to learn themselves. 79.8% of students like the lecture method and only 52.9% of students choose group presentation method. They also do not understand the explanation of online group presentations from other students. Judging from 41.3% of students, the reason is because they cannot discuss the material face to face.

Abstract

Several factors are thought to influence second language acquisition (SLA). The concepts of motivation and self-efficacy are frequently linked to SLA success. In terms of linguistic outcomes, motivation is a significant contributor, whereas self-efficacy is a component of social, metacognitive, and cognitive strategies. Students with varying levels of motivation and self-efficacy attribute diverse reasons for their success and failure in learning a second language, so these elements are crucial in determining one's level of success in learning a second language. The purpose of this study is to analyze self-efficacy and motivation as contributing factors to second language acquisition. This paper gathered and reviewed journal articles on motivation and self-efficacy in second language acquisition from a variety of journals in the field using thematic analysis. The method for this study uses a literature review in order to demonstrate the contribution of the factors self-efficacy and motivations to second language acquisition. It is expected that self-efficacy and motivation improve students' learning performance in a variety of language skills. The implications of this study benefit language teachers by helping learners create positive beliefs about themselves and improve their confidence about their abilities to learn a second language.
