Abstract

Abstract In the twenty-first century, the broad availability of information and technological innovation has resulted in a paradigm shift in the goal of education. As a result, in order to produce engaged citizens capable of facing the demands and obstacles of the century, boosting learners' higher cognitive skills has become a priority in modern education. Language teachers' responsibilities in modern language teaching have expanded to include improving students' thinking skills. In line with this idea, this study was aimed at examining the role teaching reading skills at a higher education institution has in enhancing learners’ higher-order thinking skills. In order to achieve the main objective of the study, an analysis was carried out on the levels of thinking that questions in reading exercises aim to elicit from the learners and how the students perceive the reading exercises from the perspective of enhancing higher-order thinking skills. The findings of the study show that the reading exercises are dominated by lower-order questions; there are fewer higher-order questions in the exercises. Thus, the reading exercises are not capable of enhancing learners’ higher-order thinking skills. The students also have the perception that the reading exercises are not meant to develop their higher-order thinking skills. There is no statistically significant difference between male and female participant students among their perceptions identified in the study.

Abstract

This article analyzes the flouting types of maxim in classroom interaction videos on YouTube. The aims of this study are to find out the flouting types of maxim and also the gender representation of it. Descriptive qualitative method was used. The corpus of the study were 10 classroom interaction videos that were taken from YouTube. Grice’s theory was used to find and analyze the flouting types of maxim found in the video, those are; maxim of quality, quantity, relevance, and manner. The result showed that those four types of flouting maxim were found in the classroom interaction videos on YouTube. The highest flouting maxims found were maxim of quantity, relevance and manner and the least one is maxim of quality. This is probably because the speaker wants to build trust and cheer the hearer. The findings of the second research question shows that male was the most dominant gender flouting the maxims. Based on the results and limitation of the study, it is recommended for further research to take the data directly to schools to compare videos taken from YouTube and those taken directly from schools.

Abstract

This present study investigated the cognitive behaviors in the processes of Indonesian-English translation. Two research questions were employed to find out; 1) what types of cognitive behaviors emerge in the translation processes, 2) and which types of cognitive behavior are the most dominant in the translation process? The data were taken from screen recording of translator activities in video supplemented by think-aloud protocols in TransCon6_ID.mp4 entitled "Panorama Sumba." The data were analysed qualitatively by following the steps: transcribing, identifying, classifying, and interpreting (Bailey, 2008). The result reveals that the translator uses several cognitive behaviors such as generating ideas, revising, elaborating, clarifying, retrieving, rehearsing, referencing or resourcing, and summarizing. However, the translator's most dominant behavior is referencing by seeking the dictionaries to solve the translation problem.

Abstract

Lexical cohesion is fundamentally dependent on linguistic cohesiveness. However, whether lexical coherence remains as texts are translated from English into Indonesian has yet to be determined. Considering this, the purpose of this study was to characterize the structure of the lexical cohesion in English-Indonesia Machine Translation (MT), and Post-Editing (PE) outputs and determine whether there were any differences in the use of lexical cohesion. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted. The fifth book in J.K. Rowling's (2013) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix contains the data used in this study. Baker’s (2018) equivalence at the word, above word, grammatical, and textual level, and Halliday & Matthiessen (2014) model of lexical cohesion were used to analyze and interpret the data. It was found that there aren't many differences between the lexical cohesion used in the ST, MT, and PE. While the study explores the application of lexical cohesion, additional problem equivalences, such as those at the word and above-word levels, are added to the PE recommendation.

Abstract

Although teachers in Ethiopia are given pre-service training to upgrade their pedagogical knowledge and teaching proficiency, they may not be fully prepared for all the challenges they will face throughout their careers. This is particularly true in the current situation that requires teachers to be able to meet the changing needs of the current learners that use technology. The federal ministry of education has been making efforts to provide teachers at all levels concerning information communication technologies (ICTs) utilization in their educational activities.  In addition to the government–initiated training packages, teachers are expected to familiarize themselves with ICTs through their own self-initiated efforts. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of ICTs in University EFL teachers’ Self-initiated professional development. The study participants were 35 EFL university teachers from Addis Ababa Science and Technology University. They were selected using total population sampling. Concurrent mixed methods were employed in the study. The data were collected using a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The data were then analyzed separately and finally mixed during the discussion of the data. The findings of the study indicated that teachers' beliefs about the use of ICTs in self-initiated professional development were positive.

Abstract

The lexical density is known as the component determining the complexity level of the text. Hence, measurement of lexical density is needed to find out how challenging a particular text is to read.  However, it is important to know that the lexical density in English reading materials especially in Indonesian EFL textbooks between the Government Publisher and Non-Government Publisher is still less explored. This research will employ the Quantitative design to investigate how dense the lexical items are found in these two EFL Textbooks. The result showed that the lexical density of the non-government textbook is denser in all of the genres of the text compared to the government textbooks. In brief, by knowing the lexical density in the text, the teacher should have known what the appropriate text level should be taught to the students which is neither too low nor too high.
