Abstract

The use of L2-only policy in foreign language classroom has been debated in academia. Questions around the debate revolve around; will it really be very effective and fruitful as well as comfortable for both the students and teachers of foreign language classes to use only L2 and completely omit L1 in their classroom activities? If not, how much should we limit the use of L1 in order to create a comprehensive language acquisition in class? The objective of this paper is to map the discussion about some supporting and opposing arguments on L2-only policy in foreign language classroom. Studies suggest that even though there are some opinions that L1 equals to comfort zone, we argue that there will not be any advantages to put the students in their anxiety when learning new language. Instead, students will feel uneasy and will result in their lack of motivation.

Abstract

Although Young Adult literature has been around for quite some time, it has never been viewed or considered to be fit to teach in a classroom setting, as it was poles apart from classics. Young Adult Literature deals with current social, economic, political as well as personal issues relating to and addressing a particular group of people, the young adults. Taking the themes ‘Poverty and Privilege’ and ‘Gender and Sexuality’, this article discusses the purpose of Young Adult Literature in school curriculum and the methods of teaching them to students to spread awareness and help in shaping conscious citizens of the world. The themes and issues of the books ‘The House on Mango Street’, ‘Hey Kiddo’, ‘If You Could Be Mine’ and ‘Some Assembly Required: The Not-So-Secret Life of a Transgender Teen’ and the reason for teaching them in schools are explored in detail in the hope of shedding light on the darker aspects of life.

Abstract

The expansion of access to education in Indonesia through new higher education institution or PTN-B gives new hope for the future of education. However, the limited condition of human resources, facilities, and infrastructure management processes of each PTN-B greatly impacts the learning process. The diversity of learning methods is present as an alternative solution to these problems, but is not sufficient to accommodate all learning needs. There are three PTN-B in Aceh, Universitas Teuku Umar, ISBI Aceh, and Universitas Samudra. The three PTN-Bs have carried out a learning process outside the network during the Covid-19 pandemic, but this is a relatively new phenomenon in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a challenge for PTN-B in Aceh, especially to face the COVID-19 era and anticipate global challenges in the future. This study aims to analyze students' perceptions of the application of online learning at PTN-B in Aceh during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as to find out the assessment procedures for distance learning that have proven to be effectively applied to students according to the conditions/characteristics of students and the characteristics of learning materials. Then this study will evaluate the online learning process through student perceptions and make recommendations for its implementation. This study uses a literature review approach by emphasizing the analysis on numerical data that is processed by literature review methods.
