English Focus: Journal of English Language Education
ISSN : -     EISSN : 26146355     DOI : 10.24905
Core Subject : Education,
English Focus was launched with the intention to make quality research output available for scholars in the field of language education. Although the focus is primarily on research on language education, we will also consider papers in other areas of applied linguistics such as language testing as far as they have clear implications for language teaching/learning. Reviews of the literature are not acceptable for this Journal; however, status papers by experts in the field are called for as long as explicit implications are drawn in favor of language teaching and learning. English Focus (p-ISSN: 2614-638X and e-ISSN: 2614-6355) is an open access academic, scholarly peer-reviewed journal and follows a double-blind review policy. The Journal is scheduled for publication semiannually, in July and December, with the first issue to appear in December 2017.

Abstract

This is a research and development (R & D) study in nature. In conducting this research, the researcher focus on using English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in providing the materials. Some activities involved some experts in certain fields, namely English materials expert and each of study program experts. The objectives of this research are: (1) To produce authentic reading text module for students with heterogeneous backgrounds in knowledge and fields of study. 2. To validate authentic reading text module for students with heterogeneous backgrounds in knowledge and fields of study. Based on the findings on the needs, the reading text module covers relevant and authentic materials which enable to enhance the comprehension of the students. It is believed that the module helps the students as the foundation of their background of knowledge. From the result, the average normalized gain shows up 0, 44 meaning that the design for reading module has an average effectiveness and can describe the students’ background of knowledge. At last, this reference will be able to help in designing a reading text module for each study program at IBN Tegal.

Abstract

Teachers’ view influences the concepts that teachers teach in the classroom. This study examined the correlation between EFL writing feedback and oral corrective feedback (OCF) toward teachers' beliefs. Data were analyzed by the correlation test. The participants were 100 students from Malang State University (50 females and 50 males, with an average age of 19–22). The findings of this research reveal that the relationship between oral corrective feedback and writing feedback on teacher belief is significant and positive. Oral corrective feedback and writing feedback are effective in the teaching and learning. The results of this study can be used as a reference in applying OCF and writing feedback in the classroom. Teachers' beliefs are crucial and should be considered as one of the success factors for students in learning foreign languages.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to look into students' perceptions on using the Duolingo application to learn English. This was a descriptive investigation which involved 100 university students in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. Surveys and interviews were used to collect data. The data of the questionnaire were analyzed quantitatively through simple percentage analysis of SPSS. Meanwhile, the interview data were qualitatively examined. Collection, categorization, description, interpretation, and conclusion comprise the model. The findings revealed that the students gave favorable responses to fourteen questionnaire statements and three interview questions that represented their perceptions on the use of Duolingo in EFL learning. The students thought that learning English with Duolingo was simple, enjoyable, interesting, and motivating. In short, the students had positive perceptions on the use of Duolingo in EFL learning. Furthermore, according to the results of the students' interviews, there were various advantages and disadvantages of using Duolingo to learn English. For example, this application could help students improve their English skills, the features of Duolingo were interesting and addictive, it could stimulate and motivate students to learn English, and students felt comfortable and enjoyed learning English while using Duolingo. On the other hand, students noticed several drawbacks of using the Duolingo application, including the inability to play and learn through the use of Duolingo in offline mode, the presence of annoying advertisements in the middle of exercises, the presence of several repeated questions in the same level, and the lack of explanation regarding grammatical structures.
