Abstract

This study aims to develop a practical and reliable test to assess second language pragmatic knowledge as well as to investigate the effect of study abroad experience and proficiency level on EFL learners’ pragmatic competence. A total 59 participants, consisting of 34 females and 29 males, were categorized into groups based on their exposure to the target language and proficiency. The results show that the reliability of the test reaches ?=.798 which means it is acceptable for a language test. Further development of test items is required to achieve more adequate test reliability. The findings also suggest that learners' pragmatic knowledge can be influenced by both study-abroad experience and linguistic competence. These factors may contribute to learners' ability to appropriately respond to pragmatic utterances from the test. Thus, language learners should focus on increasing their linguistic proficiency to enhance their understanding and use of pragmatic language. This study underscores the importance of designing effective language pragmatic tests that incorporate a variety of pragmatics components and comprehensive instruments to achieve the desired test reliability and validity.

Abstract

The English-teaching problem is a significant issue that has been discussed in various contexts around the world, including English teachers’ issues, students’ assessments, curricula and textbooks, and the various variables that contribute to effective English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching. As a result, the purpose of the study is to explore 10 participants' perspectives on issues of teaching English in ELT classrooms. The purpose of this descriptive qualitative study is to investigate how teachers perceived the English teaching issue in relation to the students involved. Data were collected using an interview that included a single primary question about teaching English. Then, the data was analyzed by using content analysis. This study came to three major conclusions: (1) Learner motivation issues, (2) A problem with attitude, (3) An issue with the support system. Finally, problems with teaching English should not be underestimated because they have a significant impact on how well teachers teach the language in elementary schools. Teachers must be aware of their shortcomings in order to continually improve their teaching skills without becoming complacent.

Abstract

A learning model called blended learning mixes online and face-to-face instruction. It includes multiple implementation techniques, instructional models, and learning styles. The Edmodo application media is one of the educational chances supplied by exploiting current ICT advances. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of learning using the Edmodo-based blended learning model in improving student learning outcomes in English courses. This study employed an experimental research methodology. Data are grouped and extraneous information is reduced due to the descriptive qualitative approach's framework, which collects data through testing, observation, and documentation. In this study, data analysis started with data collecting and was then condensed, including summarizing, choosing the most crucial information, concentrating on it, searching for themes and patterns, and removing irrelevant information. Based on the research findings, two approaches—online via the Edmodo application and offline—are recommended for implementing the blended learning strategy based on Edmodo (face to face). Students use Edmodo to interact with lecturers and other students during online lectures. Beforehand, the lecturer created a virtual class on Edmodo and connected all the students to it. The in-person meetings include group discussions based on the material covered in the online classes. Events held in person can also be hosted using the Edmodo app. Based on test results and an analysis of the learning outcomes of students who used the blended learning strategy built on Edmodo, it is rated in the very good category.
