The study employs qualitative research design embracing the characteristics of a case study. The data are obtained from an in-depth interview of students involved in the online academic reading classroom who have been taught using explicit reading strategies instruction for one semester. The objectives of the study are to explore students' perspectives of the role of the reading instructor, how the explicit instruction assists them in improving their academic reading, and the obstacles they find during the instruction. The data are analyzed descriptively by conducting data reduction and categorizing the data based on the three aspects formerly mentioned. The interview result points out a positive view about the implementation of explicit teaching of reading strategies and its effects on the students’ academic reading improvement. The students also emphasize an essential role of the reading instructor in guiding the students to master academic reading strategies in the online classroom environment. The major obstacles encountered by the students are common technical problems like connection, audio and video as well as the problems with their fluctuating motivation in doing the online learning. However, all these problems are not related to their positive view about the application of the explicit teaching of reading strategies in the classroom. Keywords: explicit teaching, reading comprehension strategies, students’ perspectives

Abstract

Recently, empirical investigation focusing on website analysis remains burgeoning. Conversely, research accentuating student recruitment strategies in websites is still under-researched, particularly in Indonesian private university websites. To fill this gap, this study aimed to scrutinize how a private university employed recruitment strategies through its website viewed from a multimodal perspective. The corpus of this study was a homepage website of the private university. It was collected through document analysis and analyzed with Multimodal Social Semiotics (MSS) (Kress, 2010). The findings reported that the university website provides an attractive appearance on its website, so it can attract the attention of its website visitors. Briefly, this study offers valuable insights to conceptualize, design and inform audiences from a multimodal perspective.

Abstract

Numerous studies have investigated the phenomenon of students’ silence in the EFL classroom context. However, they are less attention in documenting the emergence of the teacher’s perception. Therefore, the present research aimed to dig the teacher’s perception and also seek the solution or teaching strategies that can be applied for encouraging silent students in the learning. The research is a case study and the data collection is using qualitative design through a semi-structured interview which involves a female teacher who has taught for about 30 years in one secondary school in Tasikmalaya. The data is analyzed thematically and the results showed that the teacher perceived the phenomenon of students’ silence into psychological aspects, students’ low self-motivation, and low self-confidence in language learning. The present research revealed that teacher’s perception influences all of the actions that applied in the classroom. The contributions are also viewed from the present study. They are teaching strategies such as integrated game-based learning (GBL), incorporated role-play, group presentation, and built a positive teacher-student relationship, and conducted external encouragement like appreciation. Those can be practiced by the teacher, novice teacher, or student-teacher particularly in dealing with the phenomenon of students’ silence itself.

Abstract

Using first language in the English class remains a controversial and an interesting issue to investigate, since it becomes an inevitable phenomenon especially in EFL contexts. Thus, this present study aims to investigate the underlying reasons for using L1 by both students and teacher in the EFL classrooms. In this case study, semi-structured interview was used to collect the data from the teacher and the students related to the reasons of using L1 in EFL classrooms. Thematic Analysis (Braun Clarke, 2006) was used to analyze the data. The research results showed that the teachers generally used L1 because they believed that it supported the effective process of language teaching, since it can avoid students’ confusion over the materials being discussed, and it can make the students feel more comfortable in joining teaching and learning process. Meanwhile, the students used L1 mostly because of their natural habit, lack of confidence, and fear of making mistakes due to their low proficiency level in using English. Additionally, they also consider that using L1 was easier to communicate their ideas. In conclusion, L1 plays some supportive roles in English class. However, its use must be re-examined, since it should be used appropriately to achieve the better learning outcomes.
