Abstract

Levelling reading comprehension may help students learning and teacher course designing. This study attempts to portray the level of EFL reading comprehension in a public university in Jambi, Indonesia. The participants were 78 EFL learners who were registered in the academic year 2020-2021. The data were collected through administering a set of adapted reading test and calculated based on the indicator of the scoring system and criteria. These data were classified into each level of reading comprehension which is described in the form of percentage and presented through diagram and chart. The major findings of this study reveal that. 1) there were 77 or (99%) participants can complete most of the literal test items and they just achieved literal level of comprehension of reading skill. 2) there were 24 or (31%) participants were able to answer all inferential test items successfully and they just reach inferential level of reading comprehension. 3) there were 19 or (24%) participants can give their answer critically and they just obtained a critical level of reading comprehension. It is interpreted that numerous students were still in the position of the literal level which is regarded as a very low or basic level of reading comprehension. So, it is strongly recommended that EFL learners at Universitas Jambi require an intensive practice of reading to achieve a highest level of reading comprehension.

Abstract

Writing English argumentative essays has brought suffering and constraints for EFL university students since it requires relevant argumentativeness and knowledge of text genre knowledge and grammar and vocabulary mastery. Mentor text can be an effective scaffold for them to understand the essay. Little is known about university students' perspectives on writing an argumentative essay and the mentor texts given to them. To fill the void, this present study was carried out in a qualitative framework. Twenty-nine university students who attended and were exposed to four selected mentor texts during the virtual writing course voluntarily took part in this study by filling out the online questionnaire. The findings show that the students experienced and felt various positive and negative emotional expressions, such as challenge, difficulty, and enjoyment. The students perceived that the selected mentor texts were beneficial and very helpful for learning, understanding, and producing argumentative essays. Those mentor texts contain clear structure, effective thesis, and good writer's delivery so that the students can easily emulate and adapt them into their writing.

Abstract

The present research is designed to investigate the attitudes of EFL Learner concerning corrective feedback. This research additionally analyses students’ characteristics that tend to receive offline or online corrective feedback and analyses the approach of sending feedback adjusted to learners’ exact needs. 75 research respondents were enrolled from Biak’s High School of Law, Papua. The researchers handed out questionnaires directly to the 5th and 7th semester students during lectures. There were eight questions provided for students to choose regarding corrective feedback. The findings of this research indicate that online or offline corrective feedback is very important for students because it can help students determine the correct linguistic form. Most students feel that corrective feedback is quite helpful for them because it can encourage students’ desire to learn. In addition, they also feel that corrective feedback can improve the learning process. However, some students feel that they are not serious enough when receiving teacher’s feedback because they have not been able to realize which ones can hinder or improve the language learning process. It seems clear that most students like feedback both offline and online. Thus, the results of this research generally confirm that students feel corrective feedback provides benefits in improving the learning process.

Abstract

This study analyzes students’ preferences on the lecturer’s written corrective feedback (WCF) on their writing tasks. It looks at how the students want WCF to be written, delivered, and focused on to fulfill the students’ expectations. It also analyzes the students’ preferences on the use of English or Bahasa Indonesia in the WCF to accommodate their learning needs and styles. Through an internet survey delivered to 100 students’ emails, using 5 levels of Likert scales on preferences range, the results show that the students’ preferences varied in terms of types, focuses, and ways the WCF are provided and delivered. It is an evident that many students want the lecturers to provide the correct forms of the errors, to mark and to underline the errors with corrections, and to provide explanations for every single error in their writing tasks. A significant number of the students have a low preference for the use of indirect feedback through cues and prompts. Another interesting result is the fact that many students prefer WCF to be written in Bahasa Indonesia rather than in English. It is recommended that the lecturers flexibly provide WCF according to students’ preferences and expectations to increase their writing skills.
