Abstract

This study aimed at identifying and explaining the implementation of scientific approach of 2013 curriculum and exploring the teachers’ perception on the implementation of scientific approach of 2013 curriculum. This case study used interview and observation to collect data. All data were analyzed through a qualitative approach. The participants of the study were two English secondary school teachers in rural area (School A) located in Polombangkeng District, Takalar Regency, and urban area (School B) located in Tamalate District, Makassar. The study showed that both schools have implemented the scientific approach of 2013 curriculum well and the teachers basically understand the five stages of scientific approach. However, there were still shortcomings in some aspects found on their perceptions. These aspects of scientific approach principle are not fully aligned with the characteristics of the 2013 curriculum. Based on these results, the researcher concluded that the implementation of the scientific method of 2013 curriculum in seventh grade English subjects conducted by English teachers has not been fully functional as appropriate. Therefore, the practice of applying the scientific approach of 2013 curriculum requires an improvement in these aspects in order to achieve the objectives of the implementation of the 2013 curriculum.

Abstract

One of the requirements for nowadays adult learning is to be learner autonomy. Learner autonomy is the ability to take charge of one’s own learning. Learner autonomy can be nurtured through web-based learning. Web-based learning is a platform that can be used for individual learning needs anytime anywhere they want, in accordance, the learner is often learning without interaction with other people directly. There are some problems in implementing web-based learning in Indonesia. Students felt dissatisfied with the current system and the lack of teacher’s feedback and scaffolding. This study tried to investigate what is the learner’s perception of improving learner autonomy using web-based learning. This study is a case study. The instrument used are questionnaire and interview. This study uses analytical analysis. There are some drawbacks that demotivate the students such as the poor variety of media, the lack of teacher’s scaffolding and confirmation. Web-based learning is able to help students in sending their homework, participate in online discussion, increase their critical thinking, get immediate feedback and share ideas. For recommendation, SPOT UPI needs to be developed well to promote learner autonomy.

Abstract

Psychologically, self-awareness has been stated as one of the indicators of emotional intelligence. Plenty of previous studies have already discussed students’ and teachers' awareness. However, many of them were not concerning the field of professional development, especially for the pre-service language teacher. A professional development itself is an aspect that could not be neglected since professionalism is necessary to reach a good teaching-learning quality. Therefore, the present study seeks to investigate the existence of self-awareness among the non-native pre-service language teachers toward their professional development. The data obtained from an open-ended interview is processed qualitatively and analyzed thematically.  Within this regard, self-awareness of their professional development would be examined, analyzed and described. Furthermore, the requirements and suggestions for the professional development in which how non-native pre-service language teacher education program in an EFL context might have to be discussed. The result of the study would be discussed further in this paper.

Abstract

Extensive Reading (hereafter, ER) has been discussed and deployed as a prevalent approach to enhance EFL/ESL learners’ reading skills in language classroom for several decades. However, insufficient attention has been devoted to the students’ learning activities in Extensive Reading course, notably in Indonesia. For this reason, this study accentuated on profiling the learning activities in Extensive Reading course in such a country. The data were collected through semi-structured interview and analysed with thematic analysis (Braun Clarke, 2006). The findings designated that the students performed two main learning activities in Extensive Reading course, namely inside and outside classroom activities. Viewed from inside classroom activities, they conducted classroom presentations to develop not only reading skills but also speaking skills, self-confidence and self-responsibilities. On the other hand, they selected and read literary works based on their interests and abilities, completed reading logs, created powerpoint slides, made a written reports, produced a poster for presentations and posted their works on their own blogs. Given these facts, ER learning activities enable the EFL/ESL learners to foster and sustain their reading strategies and become more strategic readers.

Abstract

Students’ foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA), in the last four decades, has been discussed by many researchers regarding to its impact toward students’ learning and achievement. Since “anxiety prevents some people from performing successfully in foreign language learning” (Horwitz et al. (1986 p.125), it is necessary to explore in order to gain success. This present research implements survey study which was conducted among 194 junior high school students in order to find the levels of FLCA, and interview was given to 11 students who are classified as students with High Level of Anxiety in order to explore the factors contributing students’ FLCA. Findings show that there are 63 (32%) students classified in Low Level of Anxiety, 120 (62%) Moderate Level of Anxiety and 11 (6%) High Level of Anxiety, and there are two major factors contributing FLCA which relate to cognitive anxiety and psychological anxiety.

Abstract

In recent decades, the issues on Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) have been widely investigated across the globe (e.g., Japan, Greece, and Indonesia). TBLT facilitates learners to improve their communicative competence in a natural setting. Although TBLT is not a new issue in ELT, there remains empirical evidence how it is represented in an ELT textbook in Indonesia, in particular. To fill this gap, informed by TBLT framework (Nunan, 2004), the present study addresses to examine how speaking tasks are prescribed in an Indonesian Senior High School ELT textbook. The result of this study shows that although the textbook portrayed a TBLT, there should be a revisit in the tasks, because it is important to make the designed task connected to the real world.Therefore, this study implies for English teachers as curriculum remakers in relation to design and re-appropriate English materials from an ELT textbook by considering the proper task to implement in their English classrooms.

Abstract

Digital literacy is a significant component of 21st-century learning the teachers need to possess. In the education context, however, the impact of the rapid development of digital technologies requires teachers as learning facilitators and motivators to employ digital literacy to prepare the students in digital environments. In spite of its importance, research observing teachers’ belief about digital literacy in English Language Teaching context is limited. Hence, this study aims to investigate teachers’ belief about the integration of digital literacy in English Language Teaching particularly through three aspects of teacher’s belief namely teacher’s behavioral belief, normative belief and control belief. Accordingly, a descriptive study on English in-service teachers is used in this research. In this matter, the participants were purposively selected based on the consideration that the participants could give sufficient information to answer the research questions. In order to examine the topic, five English in-service teachers considered as the participants were examined through interviews as the data collecting techniques. The findings indicated that the behavioral belief was related to the implementation of the concept of digital literacy in terms of developing students’ 21st-century skills, normative belief dealt with the expectation in social context both administrators and parents, while control belief was about the availability of particular digital technology to be implemented in the classroom. The findings of this study expected to provide an overview of the teacher’s belief which drives the integration of digital literacy in the classroom. This study provides an overview of teachers’ beliefs in integrating digital literacy which help teachers to personalize their professional development to adjust the digital era into teaching-learning instructions.
