<![CDATA[Students in the old days were not taught to think for themselves in a logical, systematic, and coherent way. They simply regurgitated lectures and text materials back to the teachers. Integrating the traditional method of teaching with the critical thinking model would be the better alternative for teachers to prepare students to solve problems in the future. The samples of this study are the whole graduated students from English Department Students at University of PGRI Yogyakarta, starting from 2018-2021. It is descriptive qualitative research, focusing on the assessment matrix in the assessment of thesis examination by giving in-depth highlight on trends. From the data analyses, it is inferred that gender would give less impact to the successfulness of developing Critical Thinking. On the other hand, the autonomous learning would never give the same good results from one condition to another. It is revealed from the finding that learning with peers impacts better than the autonomous learning and learning with teachers.]]>

<![CDATA[This study explores pre-service EFL teachers’ experiences in learning to teach English at the teaching practicum program during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The study adopts a qualitative narrative inquiry to capture the pre-service EFL teachers’ events or stories experienced in their learning to teach at schools. Drawing on semi-structured interview data, we found that the majority of the pre-service EFL teachers forced themselves to understand digital literacy and be able to adopt various learning platforms such as Google Classroom, Youtube, Zoom meeting, and Whatsapp in the online teaching at the practicum program during COVID-19 Pandemic. They supposed that those ways were effective enough to deliver learning materials, interact with their students and achieve learning goals. However, during online teaching at the COVID-19 Pandemic, the teaching practicum program did not run well because during the process of online teaching the pre-service EFL experienced various challenges: poor internet connection, lack their participation, and negative attitude. Therefore, the strategies they employed to overcome the teaching challenges were creating a comfortable learning atmosphere by using certain learning platforms, communicating actively with the students’ parents to encourage their online participation, and growing their self-confidence and motivation.]]>

It included 497 news articles from the online news platform ‘GlobalVoices,' which were processed with AntConc 3.5.8 software.

Meanwhile, the comparative methods were used to analyze both source and target texts. Through the cautious process of collecting and analyzing the data, the results showed that (1) GT (via NMT) was able to translate the English passive voice by distinguishing morphological changes in Indonesian passive voice (2) GT was able to modulate English passive voice into Indonesian base verbs and Indonesian active voice.]]>
