Abstract

The purpose of this research is to dig deeper into information about three vocational high schools teachers who have applied the ecological approach in their English teaching process. The ecological approach from the perspective of education is a learning approach that emphasizes contextual learning and focuses on the relationship between teachers, students, and the delivery of teaching materials. Applying the ecological approach to learning English at vocational high school can facilitate teachers in teaching English, especially learning English speaking for students. Teachers have an important role in education because a good education is influenced by teacher competence and teacher readiness in teaching. Speaking skills are one of the skills taught by teachers in schools, speaking skills in Indonesia do not receive enough attention, this is because students have not been able to communicate even in simple English. Based on this, the teacher's readiness to find an appropriate approach to the environmental conditions of students is very influential in teaching English speaking skills and an ecological approach can be a solution in improving students' English speaking skills. This research uses a qualitative research approach, and phenomenological as the research design. The participants in this study were English teachers in tenth grade from the three vocational high schools in Bandung district. This research shows that the ecological approach can improve student English speaking skills in three vocational high schools in Bandung district. It is caused by the teacher's activity who has applied the ecology approach indicator, namely coordination, internalization, media, and development.

Abstract

Assessment has always been an important part of education. However, with the recent advent and popularity of online education, teachers must devise new methods and tools for engaging online learners in examinations. Regrettably, there are limited applications available to be implemented quickly on flexible assessments. The purpose of this study is to discover how teachers and students understand this online assessment program, Testportal, for summative assessment. This is a mixed-method study. Three English teachers and 70 students from three English 1 sessions were recruited and agreed to participate in the study. A closed questionnaire, interviews, and nonparticipatory observation were used to collect data. The findings revealed that teachers' and students' perceptions of the Testportal's use were positive. The biggest obstacles that teachers and students experience when accessing Testportal are slow internet connections and teachers' difficulty in operating digital examinations. The challenges that prohibit language teachers from incorporating technology for assessment objectives originate from a lack of rules for planning, technology training, practice, and school and student equipment. Language instructors with understanding of technology and assistance from related sources should be given the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice, be watched by teacher educators, and receive feedback on their progress. The Testportal provided teachers with up-to-date information regarding online exams that support students' learning processes through dynamic assessment feedback cycles, such as teaching, assessing, and modifying different instructions to fit students' learning needs.

Abstract

Teaching students with hard of hearing in a mainstream school challenges teachers, including English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers. This narrative inquiry study presents EFL teachers' experience teaching hard-of-hearing students in inclusive classrooms. Six EFL teachers participated and had in-depth interviews. The finding shows that EFL teachers are aware of hard-of-hearing students’ uniqueness. They facilitate them in learning English together with hearing students from the beginning of the lesson to the closing session. Teachers modify their teaching dan communication by combining spoken, written, sign language, and translation. Explaining and instruction to hard-of-hearing students are presented in slow and loud voices, emphasizing mouth movement and repetition. This study presents implications based on the teachers’ stories and suggestions for future study.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the association between English as a foreign language (EFL) teacher candidates’ reflective thinking skills (RTSs) and pedagogical competence. Employing a correlational study, a questionnaire conveying four dimensions of RTSs and the teacher candidates’ report of pedagogical performance in the microteaching course was used to collect the data on pedagogical competence. Using Google Forms, the questionnaire was administered to 52 EFL teacher candidates. The descriptive statistics identified that the RTSs of the EFL teacher candidates were categorized in the habitual action type. Pearson Product Moment yielded that the EFL teacher candidates’ RTSs and their pedagogical performance had a high positive statistically significant correlation, as the observed sig. value was .766. This finding confirmed that RTSs bridged the theoretical-practical divide, and was found as a predictive variable for pedagogical competence. Therefore, teacher education programs need to consider developing and implementing training activities to enhance student teachers’ RTSs, enabling them to make better pedagogical practices.

Abstract

This research determines the perceptions of students and lecturers on using e-learning at a private university in Batam. A mixed methods approach was employed to find out these perceptions. Researchers further collected the data through open and closed questionnaires from 243 students (2019-2022 school year) and 19 lecturers who were actively teaching and using e-learning. After obtaining the data, the questionnaire results were calculated using SPSS software version 25 and transcribed qualitatively. The results show that students and lecturers had positive perceptions towards e-learning. This is measured by the knowledge, adaptation, benefits, and attitudes of students and lecturers in using e-learning. However, several obstacles were faced by them, such as time management, difficulties in accessing the e-learning website, the user interface (UI) display is quite complicated, unsupported internet signal, and others. It can be concluded that both lecturers and students have good ability in using e-learning at higher education levels.

Abstract

Students prefer learning English with native English teachers (NETs) compared to non-native English teachers (NNETs). Knowing how the NETs teach in the class, like their learning activities, would be very interesting. The purpose of this research is to find out the strategies used by NETs in teaching English to non-native learners. Five NETs were chosen based on the demographic information questionnaires and to be interviewed to describe the strategies that they used in teaching English, especially speaking skills, to non-native learners. This is the qualitative design with the case study tradition. Three themes were found as the result of this study: NETs’ strategies in teaching English (how to begin the class, the activities during the class, and how to end the class), media used in teaching English, and games used during teaching. The various fun activities provided by the NETs in teaching English could be useful information for other NETs, fresh graduate English teaching students, and English teachers who want to teach English in non-native English countries.
