Abstract

The emergence of word-processing software assisted students in overcoming academic writing challenges. Other research, however, revealed that it was more concerned with students' academic writing challenges in linguistic problems than with how to handle them using a word processor. As a result, the purpose of this study is to determine how to adopt word processor features to assist postgraduate students who have problems with academic writing. As the study design, a qualitative survey with descriptive analysis was employed. Students' article writing and 10 second-semester postgraduate students from January until June 2023 enrolled in an Academic writing course at one of the universities in Jakarta and served as data sources. Data were gathered through the analysis of students' article writing and an online questionnaire, which were then analysed and interpreted descriptively. This research revealed that word class was discovered to be the most challenging, followed by word mistakes, grammar, and word format in the classroom. It was discovered that using a word processor might assist them the most in overcoming word formatting challenges, followed by spelling errors, grammar, and word classes. As a result, despite the extensive use of word processing tools, students should not abandon reading while writing academically with this tool because it cannot guarantee that it will aid them 100% of the time.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the English language learning process using Individual Education Program (IEP) in inclusion classes at elementary school level. This research used a qualitative approach with two students with special needs with intellectual disabilities (ID) as the subjects of this research. Three types of data collection techniques used were structured observation, structured interviews and document study. The result of this research indicated that even though the two research subjects have intellectual disability, they can still participate in learning with certain terms and conditions. Every class teacher and special assistant teacher must pay attention to students’ learning needs that supports their learning development which must be in accordance with curriculum objectives. Therefore, teachers must be able to develop the Individualized Education Program (IEP) according to the special needs of students and carry out teaching according to plans that have been made previously.

Abstract

The study sought to investigate the perception of English teachers in madrassas and pesantrens toward the English Language Teacher Training (ELTT) program they underwent for five months. A convergent mixed-method research design was used, comprising a set of questionnaires administered to thirty-two teachers across three cities, namely Banjarmasin, Metro, and Palembang. Subsequently, interviews were conducted with twelve teachers who participated in the study. Interactive data analysis was employed to analyze the results obtained from the questionnaires and interviews. The study found that numerous teachers reported receiving significant benefits in their teaching and learning skills after participating in the ELTT program, including a boost in self-esteem when delivering English language instruction and enhanced English teaching abilities. However, participants also highlighted internet connectivity and time management as major hurdles that required attention. Hence, it is recommended that the Ministry of Religious Affairs continues to implement the program since it provides teachers with opportunities to enhance their English teaching skills. Consequently, this will enable students to receive greater exposure to the English language, facilitating their learning process.

This present study is objective to showcase Indirect-focused written corrective feedback (IFWCF). This case study focused on investigating the combination of indirect-focused written corrective feedback (IFWCF) simultaneously to the higher education students in Indonesia who engaged affectively, behaviorally, and cognitively in narrative writing class. This study uses the narrative inquiry method. The data were collected from students’ reflective journals and their corrected worksheets as teacher’s feedback and interviews. The results indicate that effectively, students engage IFWCF positively although two participants by birth felt confused and frustrated. Cognitively, students think of making plans to follow up on IFWCF, and behaviorally, they materialize the plans to fix the corrected worksheets. In conclusion, the implementation of IFWCF in writing courses has pedagogical implications for EFL students.

Abstract

Hedges and boosters in general, and academic writing in particular, assume significant role in allowing writers to mitigate opposing claims while strengthening their arguments supported by reliable data. This study aimed to quantify the frequencies of hedges and boosters used by second language (L2) learners of English in ten ASEAN countries, including China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan. Research samples were collected from the ICNALE learner corpus comprising 5,400 two different, determined topics of academic writings. Lancsbox 6.0 was utilized to analyse the sample texts. The results elucidate a notable trend wherein ASEAN English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners exhibit a preference for boosters over hedges Among the identified overused boosters are completely, really, and always, while overused hedges include usually, often, and maybe. This inclination suggests that EFL learners express confidence in articulating their perspectives. Boosters serve as instrumental tools to reinforce confidence and certainty, emphasize significance and relevance, strengthen persuasiveness, enhance coherence and flow, and establish authority and academic voice. Nevertheless, it is imperative for L2 learners to recognize the importance of hedges in denoting tentativeness, softening criticism, acknowledging limitations, and establishing expertise.

Abstract

Currently in Indonesia, a substantial number of young children lack proficiency in and awareness of English vocabulary, a crucial international language. This study aims to explore the potential of Duolingo application usage in improving English vocabulary among young children, specifically from the perspective of teachers. Employing a quantitative descriptive research method, data were gathered through questionnaire surveys. The results indicate that the utilization of the Duolingo application by teachers contributes positively to the learning environment, resulting in noticeable improvements in English vocabulary among early childhood learners. The children demonstrated enhanced vocabulary skills after using the application over a specific duration. However, the study also highlights that the Duolingo application should not be relied upon as the sole source for English language learning in early childhood education. Its usage needs to be integrated into structured and teacher-directed learning approaches. Effective management of the application is crucial to maximize its benefits for young learners. This research serves as a benchmark for the development of similar applications aiming to enhance English vocabulary for early childhood education, emphasizing the importance of combining digital tools with structured pedagogical methods.

Abstract

The acquisition of language in children is one of the greatest and most amazing human achievements, which is why this problem has received great attention for analysis. Language acquisition and speaking are both interrelated aspects. Talking is the most effective form of communication. Aspects of biological maturity, and cognitive and social environment affect the acquisition of children's language and speaking abilities. However, not all children have good language development, some children experience disturbances in their biological aspects so that the acquisition of language and speech is delayed. These problems are interesting for further analysis related to the factors of language development in children with (speech delay). The research findings indicate that several words were mispronounced, leading to information that did not match the child’s intended meaning based on the observations and interviews that the researchers conducted during the study. The study revealed that toddlers with speech impairments had trouble pronouncing and articulating words clearly. Even simple words in daily activities at home were shaky in some cases. Researchers can also draw the conclusion that, despite the fact that the child interacts often with parents, relatives, and neighbors in their social milieu, the youngster nonetheless exhibits speech difficulties. This is a result of the child's frequent inability to articulate the thoughts that are going through his mind, even in a single sentence.
