Abstract

The study of reporting verbs (RVs) is rarely done by Indonesian scholars. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate how Indonesian writers used the RVs in research article introductions published in low-ranking and medium-ranking ELT journals and investigating the differences of the usage of RVs used by them in both groups of journals. This research used a quantitative approach with a comparative design that investigated 40 research article introductions published in low-ranking (SINTA 6: Journal of English Language Education, and SINTA 5: The Journal of English Literacy Education) medium-ranking (SINTA 4: Journal of English Education and Teaching, and SINTA 3: ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching) ELT journals in 2021. The data were taken by using the purposive sampling technique and they were analyzed by using the RVs’ framework of Francis et al. (1996). The results revealed that Indonesian writers of low-ranking and medium-ranking ELT journals used all of the RVs in research article introductions, but the most frequent RVs used by them was “argue verb”. Moreover, Indonesian writers of low-ranking ELT journals used more “find and think verbs”. Meanwhile, “the argue and show verbs” were more often used by Indonesian writers of medium-ranking ELT journals. These findings indicate the importance of using the RVs in writing the research article introductions for Indonesian writers in the field of English language teaching. The writers are suggested to use more “Argue Verbs, followed by “Find and Shows Verbs” when writing research article introductions. Keywords: ELT journals, research article introduction, low-ranking journal, medium journal, reporting verb

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the sources of teaching anxiety as experienced by EFL pre-service teachers during the teaching practicum and the types of strategy used to cope with the teaching anxiety. This research used Aydin (2016) and Murray-Harvey et al. (2000) frames to investigate the sources of teaching anxiety and the strategies to cope with it. One English pre-service teacher was willing to participate as participant in this research. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The researchers found that the pre-service teacher was anxious mostly due to the lack of teaching experience, her personality, fear of making mistakes, difficulties in time management, lack of learner motivation, and technical issues. This research revealed that there are eight strategies used by the participant to cope with her teaching anxiety (i.e., cognitive strategies, behavioral strategies, emotional strategies, self-management skill, professional qualities, discussion with people, support from supervising teacher, and feedback from lecturer supervisor). Further implications and recommendations are also described in this research. The results from this research suggest alternatives for EFL pre-service teachers to cope with anxiety during teaching practicum.

Abstract

Code switching is an intriguing phenomenon to investigate because it is a part of the development process and the use of multiple languages (bilingual). In the world of education, both at the middle and upper levels, the use of code switching can be done by teachers or students in the classroom. This research was conducted to find out the factors causing teachers to do code switching in the classroom. The research method applied in this study was qualitative research in the form of a case study. The writers selected the participants for this research by using a convenience sampling technique. There were two teachers of English at SMA Negeri 15 Palembang, and those teachers were selected as the participants to collect the data. In collecting data, the writers used interviews through open-ended questions. Then, the writers analyzed the data obtained from the interview using a theme code system in the form of table codes, synchronizing the data with the aspects and items that prevailed in the interview protocol. The result of this research based on the interviews showed that there are two factors causing teachers to do code switching. Two factors are linguistics and non-linguistics. Language linguistics factors are divided into language stagnation and a lack of students’ knowledge of vocabulary. Furthermore, non-linguistical factors are divided into the emotional condition of the teacher and the condition of the class situation. Keywords: Code Switching; Actors of Code Switching; Linguistics; Non-Linguistics.

Abstract

It has been acknowledged in the literature that a good self-concept of teachers will enable teachers to adapt to changing situations, which might result in effective teaching that will benefit students. On the contrary, negative self-concept results in teachers’ burnout and inability to perform well in teaching. This mixed-methods study aims to investigate whether teacher self-concept can be enhanced by the implementation of self-regulation strategies. Two research questions are formulated in this study: (1) To what extent do Indonesian teachers implement self-regulation in their teaching? (2) What is the correlation between teachers’ self-regulation and the concept of their competency and satisfaction in teaching? In the quantitative phase, sixty teachers from different parts of Indonesia participated in the study by completing an online questionnaire. The data gathered was submitted to the SPSS and was analyzed using the Pearson correlation method. The result showed that there were positive correlations between teacher self-regulation and teacher self-concept of competence with r=.381 and satisfaction with r=.372. To gain a deeper understanding, in the qualitative phase, interviews were done with three of the teachers. The data resulted that teachers have highly implemented teacher self-regulation and affirmed that it has contributed to the enhancement of their self-concept of competence and satisfaction.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the meaning of the word “over” through syntactic and semantic analysis based on its structure. Moreover, this study also evaluates the features of the word “over” based on the structure whether they are used as an adverb, an adjective, a preposition, or a phrasal verb. This research employs qualitative descriptive research where the data are taken from the novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. As a result of data analysis, the researchers found that word over not only functions as a pure preposition, but also as an adverb, an adjective, and a phrasal verb. It can be seen from the position and function of the word “over” in a sentence. In semantic analysis, the particle “over” is analyzed as a pure preposition, an adverb, an adjective, and a phrasal verb based on the definition of “over” from two well-known dictionaries. Hopefully, the study result can be beneficial theoretically and practically for teachers or future researchers who were passionate about analyzing words from a syntactic and semantic point of view.
