Abstract

Lecturing along with the use of whiteboard combined with power point presentation has been traditional practice in classroom. The desired learning outcome has long been examined. Overviewing the postulation by Bransford, Browning, and Cocking (1999, p194) which premise that technology plays significant role for yielding learning environments that advance the possibilities of one-way communication media, such as movies, documentaries, television shows, and music into new areas that require interactive learning like visualizations and student-created content, lead me into an implementation of media development in teaching. This paper aims to see the students’ responses toward the use of WhatsApp in English learning as this smart phone application has been used in some courses in some levels of students in Muhammadiyah University of Surabaya majoring English. Elaborated qualitatively, this paper shows you how much students get into the learning. It is shown that even though self-effort to internet access was the main obstacle in the learning, their reading and writing skills were found improved. This result in the future is expected to be able to make other faculties realize that smart phone application can enhance the learning environment and outcome

Abstract

This is a case study on the pedagogical content knowledge of two ESL primary school teachers. The importance of pedagogical content knowledge among teachers is pertinent as the knowledge contributes significant influence on students’ performances and achievement. The research question addresses on 1) how pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) influences the ESL teachers’ instructional practice in classrooms 2) the challenges faced by ESL teachers in the teaching and learning process. The data was collected through observations and semi structured interview sessions for a period of five weeks. Atlas t.i. version 7 application was used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that the novice participant had sufficient pedagogical content knowledge but was not able to deliver the content successfully in a manner that the low achievers were able to comprehend. Alternatively, the experienced participant was confident in delivering the lesson using a variety of examples, teaching aids and also activities to ensure the lessons were successful. The major challenges both the novice and experienced ESL teachers faced were related to students’ attitude and motivation towards learning the subject. The study proposes the novice teachers to have a mentor to assist them for a good number of years. As for the experienced teachers they should keep themselves updated with the latest pedagogy, engage in good networking to exchange ideas and share insightful thoughts relevant to students’ achievement in mastering English exquisitely.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore how polytechnic English as Second Language Learning (ESL) learners perceived the use of mobile technology in supporting and enhancing their learning.  Students from four selected polytechnics were requested to respond to two open-ended questions regarding the advantages and challenges of using mobile technology in learning ESL.  A total of 194 students responded to the questions. The responses provided by the students showed that they agreed mobile technology could be a potential tool to support and enhance their learning. Nevertheless, majority of them stated concerns about not having internet access or connection, inaccurate information and high level of English used on the internet.  This implies that in order for mobile technology to be employed or fully utilised for English as Second Language (ESL) learning, it is important for polytechnic institutions to overcome the challenges to ensure the affordances of mobile technology could be fully optimised, including the consideration of the pedagogical implications in ESL context.

Abstract

Reading is not simply an understanding of graphic symbols, but it is also the interaction between a language and thoughts as it is a message coded in written form that needs to be understood. A very vital skill to master, reading has become an essential component of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) programme that inevitably needs an evaluation part. The component, however, provides no specific information about possessed performance of each student. Presently, there is an existing READS (Reading Evaluation and Decoding System) used as a diagnostic tool in assessing new intake of English reading proficiency at Universiti Sains Malaysia beginning in the academic year of 2014-2015. The existing READS, however, is specifically used on the basis of Malaysian school curricula and apparently has Malaysian culture embedded in its encoder. As a result, the encoder presents a significant amount of contextual biases. This study aims at developing a Thai localised version of READS encoder to serve as an indication of the specific skills each student possesses. A model Thai READS was developed and piloted to more than six hundred Thai undergraduate students in evaluating the students’ performance. The study revealed that the Thai variation of READS is effective in evaluating the students’ performance and decoding their reading skills.

Abstract

The use of technology in education is significantly growing. Some research findings present a huge improvement in the evolution of teaching and learning activities. English teaching in Indonesia has many challenges since English, as a foreign language, requires innovative teaching strategies, tools and media. This paper attempts to investigate how SoundCloud, an online audio distribution platform, could be utilised in English language teaching. It is applied in Extensive English class where students present their oral book reviews. The data collections were obtained from questionnaire and teacher’s observation on students’ oral book review on SoundCloud. Each student was assigned to read a book, report it orally, and upload it on SoundCloud, while the other students listen and leave comment on it. The finding showed that it was easy for them to operate SoundCloud. Therefore, it created fun learning and encouraged students to learn how to communicate book review orally and listen well to other student’s review. Thus, according to the finding, it is recommended for the upcoming study to explore more on the use of SoundCloud in other ELT activities.
