Abstract

The study’s goal is to discover and to investigate how students’ grammatical knowledge and sense of self-worth influence their capacity for effective oral expression empirically. The researchers adopted a quantitative strategy and used a survey to gather information. Seventy-three students were selected at random from the population of students at selected Private Vocational High Schools in East Jakarta. In order to verify the hypotheses, a multiple regression analysis was performed. The study yielded the following findings. Self-Esteem and grammatical competence go hand in hand when it comes to a student’s ability to communicate clearly. The fact shows that Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05 and Fo= 25.662. Students' fluency with grammar has a major bearing on how well they can express themselves verbally since Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05 and to= 3.788 demonstrate this to be the case. Students' confidence in their own abilities has a major bearing on how well they can express themselves. This is evidenced by the congruence between the values Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05 and to= 4.921.

Abstract

Needs analysis as the basis of English for specific purposes (ESP) is deemed crucial to identify the target materials or languages used in the teaching-learning process and to design an effective curriculum. This study aims to investigate engineering students' needs for English-speaking materials in the English club program of one private university in Garut. To address the result of ESP analysis, the researchers used the descriptive qualitative method with questionnaires and interviews as the instruments. The need analysis result revealed that the English learning goal for the students in the English club program is to communicate actively in English. Their interest in learning English in this program is to improve their speaking ability to support their formal study as university students since it influences their academic performance and prepares them to fulfill the demands of job requirements in the future. Most students consider that the materials they need to learn are related to job life, academic purposes as engineering students, and social interaction. The result also suggests that the module created by the tutor for the English club program should focus on topics related to job life that are relevant to the current situation.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to analyze the representation of self-confidence in the song lyrics in the album Alessia Cara Know-It-All by using the denotative meaning and connotative meaning in Roland Barthes' Semiotics and Lindenfield’s theory. In this research, the writers used Semiotic theory put forward by Roland Barthes which divides Semiotics into three parts, namely denotative meaning, connotative meaning and myth as well as to represent self-confidence, the writers used Lindenfield's theory which states that there are four characteristics of self-confidence, namely: (1) Self-love, (2) Self-understanding, (3) Clear goals, and (4) Positive mind. In the three parts of Roland Barthes' Semiotics, the discussion is limited by representing self-confidence through denotative and connotative meanings according to the data the writer found in the album Alessia Cara Know-It-All. Based on the results of the analysis, the representation of self-confidence in the Know-It-All album is 30 data altogether consisting of self-love 2 data or 6.7%, self-understanding is 5 data or 16.7%, clear goals is 13 data or 43.3% and being positive is 10 data or 33.3%. So it can be concluded that the most dominant representation is a clear goal.

Abstract

This study examines challenges experienced by Indonesian ESP teachers in face-to-face education system, and possible solutions they have deployed to tackle the challenges. An online survey was employed to discover challenges the ESP teachers perceived, which was then quantitatively analysed using SPSS software. Besides, semi-structure interviews were carried out to explore solutions the ESP teachers had deployed to resolve the challenges, which was then qualitatively analysed using coding system. The findings show that the ESP teachers are dealing with five major challenges with inadequate teaching material being the most challenging (M=3.15, SD=0.88) and unsupported institution system being the least challenging (M=2.34, SD=0.62). To tackle the challenges, the teachers employ several techniques such as adapting ready-made materials, collaborating with specific-subject teachers, and participating in relevant trainings, and asking for IT experts’ assistance. As the findings reveal, this study provides us with pedagogical implications such as the need of relevant trainings and adequate textbooks for ESP teachers and placement tests for ESP students. Some limitations and suggestions for future studies are also presented.

Abstract

PRAAT can easily and rapidly improve the students’ ability in pronouncing monophthongs in phonetics class. The effectiveness of this software can help the students acquire quality monophthongs sounds. Furthermore, this software could reduce the problem of students learning sounds of monophthongs accurately such as the accuracy of F1 and F2 that is contained in monophthongs. It provided many programs on how to record, analyze, measure, and save in the wave file. This research aimed to investigate  to what extent this software affects teaching monophthongs sounds in phonetics class for students. This research was conducted with 40 samples of students. They divided the class into 20 students for the control group and another 20 students for the experimental group. This quasi-experimental was to determine the best treatment before and  after giving the treatment by using CALL for the experimental group and NON-CALL for the control group. Before using the software,  the students were given the pre-test . Finally, they  sat for post- test in the last meeting. The result was exposed through analysis of a t-test. It showed a significant difference in learning through PRAAT software (p<.05). In addition to that, teaching vowels sounds proved to be more successful using PRAAT than the traditional method.

Abstract

The present study intends to investigate the types of rewards given to learners in English as a second/foreign language (L2) classes and L2 learners' views on the possible effects of rewards on their engagement. The study employed a case study design with class observations and semi-structured interviews as the methods of data collection. Indonesian high school learners at a private university participated in this study. Through the observations, it was found that learners received three types of rewards: verbal praise, non-verbal praise, and social reward. From the interviews, it was found that rewards could make the learning atmosphere more fun and competitive as well as increase learners’ attentiveness. Nonetheless, rewards alone were not sufficient to engage learners in independent learning requiring them to exert more effort in their L2 learning process. Overall this study contributes to the understanding of rewards in the Indonesian high school L2 context which is thus far fairly under-researched. Among others, this study concludes that teachers should know what kinds of rewards, when and how they are delivered to best achieve the intended effects. Suggested directions for relevant studies in the field are also stated alongside the possible limitations of this study.

Abstract

This research aims to find out the types of students’ writing errors which are detected and not by ProWritingAid, a language checker software.  This was a qualitative study using a document analysis method with ProWritingAid being the primary language learning instrument to analyze. To collect the data, 18 pieces of students’ writing carried out as the experimental task for this research was focused on writing personal letter. These writings were checked in the software, and manually rechecked by the researcher afterward. The results showed that ProWritingAid was able to detect 21 types of writing errors including missing pronoun, preposition, and determiner. Meanwhile, there were also undetected errors found, for example, unnecessary capitalization and missing punctuation. In conclusion, while ProWritingAid can help students to analyze their errors. However, human analysis is still needed due to the undetected errors.
