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

Language as a communication tool aims to express one’s ideas and feelings. Through good communication, a person’s feelings or ideas can be realized well. The science of communicating well is explored in pragmatics, especially in communicating with the cultures of different countries. This research aims to examine the politeness strategy between American and Korean YouTubers in reacting to Indonesian songs. The data analysis in the study used cross-cultural pragmatic studies of politeness strategies by Brown and Levinson. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method that is divided into three stages, namely the data collection stage, the data analysis stage, and the stage of interpreting the results of data analysis. The study results showed that American YouTubers use more polite strategies in reacting to Indonesian songs, Americans prefer to use direct politeness strategies because they prefer to express opinions directly. Meanwhile, Korean YouTubers in reacting to Indonesian songs choose soft and calm speech acts to express their opinion, so Koreans prefer to express their opinion with calm direct politeness speech.

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.

Abstract

This study explored the use of L1 (Bahasa Indonesia) in EFL classrooms, specifically in form-focused tasks for grammar acquisition, using a gamified approach. This study was designed as analytical descriptive, employing a survey of students’ attitudes toward the use of L1 using a gamified approach in grammar acquisition and a reflective teaching journal of the lecturer using L1 in form-focused tasks. The participants of this research were 154 university students. The result revealed that the EFL students have a positive attitude toward the use of Bahasa Indonesia with a gamified approach in form-focused tasks. They further admitted that the judicious use of Bahasa Indonesia enabled them to acquire grammatical knowledge. Based on the lecturer’s reflective teaching journals, this study found that the lecturer needed to empower its potential and address shortcomings to achieve the goal of this approach to modifying the L1 use with gamification in EFL classrooms to be a productive means of grammar learning.

Abstract

This study employed psychoanalytic theory to delve into the ways Sierra Leonean poets Celia Eva Beatrice Thompson, Princess Mildred Kailey, and Kayode Adesimi Robbin-Coker explored themes of despair, lust, and loss in their poetry. Addressing a notable gap in literary criticism, especially regarding Sierra Leonean authors, the research sought to raise the international stature of African writers and support students facing challenges with poetry in West African public exams. Employing psychoanalytic principles, the study uncovered deeper meanings behind the unconscious drives and emotions in these poets' works. It involved analyzing the occurrence of themes, detecting psychoanalytically significant lines and phrases, and identifying central themes and literary techniques used to express complex emotions. The analysis, which combined thematic and literary analysis, focused on the language, themes, and use of figurative language, diction, and other poetic devices in Thompson’s 41, Kailey’s 20, and Robbin-Coker’s 23 poems. This approach highlighted their distinct ways of depicting despair, lust, and loss. By integrating thematic analysis, the study offered a more profound comprehension of each poet's style. Ultimately, this psychoanalytic exploration aimed to enhance critical interpretation skills and helped in understanding the deeper psychological aspects of Sierra Leonean and other African poetry.

Abstract

The development of listening skills has long been a topic of interest in the field of language teaching and learning. In recent years, there has been a growing trend in utilizing Podcasts as a means of language acquisition, particularly for enhancing listening skills. This approach has gained significant popularity due to the various advantages it offers. However, there is a considerable lack of related research in the context of Vietnam, particularly in university-level academic listening classes. This study addresses this gap by investigating the perceptions of 118 intermediate English linguistics students at International University, Vietnam National University HCMC, regarding the use of Podcasts to enhance their listening skills beyond the classrooms. Data collection was conducted using a mixed-methods approach, which involved the use of an online survey questionnaire as well as interviews conducted through the Zoom application. A total of 118 intermediate English linguistics students were involved in the survey questionnaire, whereas the interviews were conducted with a smaller sample size of eight students. Results showed positive perceptions regarding the usefulness of Podcasts in post-classroom listening practice. The participants reported that Podcasts were valuable for improving their ability to understand spoken language, providing an enjoyable and entertaining experience, and offering flexibility beyond traditional classroom settings. This study indicates the potential of Podcasts as effective tools for improving English listening skills and, therefore, highlights the need for teachers to consider integrating Podcasts as a resource for teaching and learning listening skills beyond the classroom.
