Abstract

This study examines the problems encountered by EFL students in composing qualitative research proposals and explores the tactics employed to address these problems. The study included three individuals who were enrolled as students in the English Education Department and had experienced delays in submitting their qualitative research proposals. The data were obtained via semi-structured interviews, wherein the researcher utilized mobile phones to record the participants' responses. The research employed a descriptive case study methodology and applied thematic analysis for data analysis. The findings of this study revealed a number of challenges encountered by students. These challenges encompassed deficiencies in various writing components, such as content-related problems, syntactic issues, vocabulary limitations, and challenges in sourcing references. Additionally, students faced internal obstacles, specifically a lack of motivation stemming from laziness. Lastly, technical difficulties were encountered when undertaking qualitative research proposals. In order to address these challenges, several potential solutions have been identified. One such solution involves fostering a supportive environment among peers, wherein they provide encouragement and assistance in the process of writing proposals. Additionally, it has been suggested that students may benefit from engaging in activities that restore their motivation and enthusiasm for research, such as watching educational content on platforms like YouTube. Lastly, self-evaluation has been proposed as a means of assessing their progress and identifying areas for improvement.Keywords: Qualitative Research, EFL, Challenges and Solutions

Abstract

Students can be motivated by making them aware of their intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Guiding the student could include addressing the subject’s goals, the nature of the activities, and the techniques used to complete the tasks, including supporting them in determining the best ways to learn. Providing learning facilities indicates that the instructor should be able to facilitate and simplify learning. This is essentially characterized as creating and establishing suitable learning settings and providing learning resources. This piece of paper will emphasise a literature review on the KARDS Model as an alternative conceptualization for language training. The review is based on journal papers, conference proceedings, and book chapters that explore Kumaravadivelu's KARDS Model. The scope of this discussion is limited to the following points: (1) presenting Postmodernism as a relevant theoretical framework in the context of language teacher education and (2) presenting the KARDS model as an alternative conceptual outline that can help language teachers address teaching issues more effectively. This finding demonstrates that teachers must keep their knowledge, which serves as their academic medium of communication, up to date in order to survive in academic contexts. Their enhanced professional and personal knowledge is projected to lead to more positive perceptions. This distinction may be justified by the circulation of knowledge transfer and building, the routine exchange of knowledge, and academicians' access to the most recent results.Keywords: Alternative Approach, KARDS Model, and Language Education

Abstract

Writing is one of five skills in English subject, and it is also one of the communication tools in which students express their ideas, thoughts, and feelings. Unfortunately, writing is considered a difficult skill to master. That is why a tool is needed to be used in the teaching of writing. An electronic tool is one of the tools that can support the teacher in delivering the materials in a writing class. Among many electronic tools, PowToon is one of the tools that is suitable for teaching the skill. The web-based software presents the materials with animation features, such as cartoons and transition effects. This research is aimed at investigating the advantages and disadvantages of using PowToon in teaching descriptive text. The respondents were 10 students of a senior high school. The researcher used qualitative research with a narrative inquiry design. Documentation (reflective journal), questionnaires, and interviews were used as instruments for collecting the data. Based on the data collected, it can be seen that the advantages of PowToon as an electronic teaching tool made the learning process interesting, happy, fun, motivating, and understandable. However, the researcher found some disadvantages of this tool as the unclear sound produced by the tool. They could barely hear what the speaker was saying. In addition, the duration of the video was too short, so it made the speech fast and not catchable by the students. Keywords: Descriptive Text, Narrative Inquiry, PowToon, Writing Skill
