Abstract

The objective of this research was to investigate EFL students’ perceptions on the implementation of flipped learning. Employing a concurrent mixed method of data gathering techniques, this research was conducted in an English Literature Study Program of a private university in Padang, West Sumatera Province.

At the end of the sessions, a Google form questionnaire was handed out. Quantitative and qualitative data analysis found out that most students expressed positive perceptions on flipped learning, as indicated by its efficacy to facilitate preparation for offline sessions, making them more active, and completing grammar exercises better. Overall, flipped learning was acknowledged to be effective for English grammar in this study, despite few suggestions for the lecturers to assist them understanding material better.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of using English videos with and without subtitles on students' vocabulary mastery and to gauge their perceptions of both techniques. The study's population comprises 70 nursing program students at STIKES Jayapura. The study employs a quantitative experimental research design. The study's findings indicate a significant difference between students taught using English videos with subtitles and those taught without subtitles. Following the treatment, the experimental class's pre-test and post-test results showed a significant increase compared to the control group, with the experimental class's mean increasing from 6.22 to 23.07 compared to the control group. The t-test calculation result shows that the t-count of 2.279 is higher than the t-table of 1.999 at the degree of freedom (df) of 68. This result suggests that using subtitle videos is more effective in improving students' vocabulary mastery than videos without subtitles. Moreover, students respond more positively to subtitles in the videos played in the English classroom, making the class atmosphere more relaxing and enjoyable. Subtitles in the videos not only help students enhance their vocabulary but also provide entertainment through pictures and audio presented in the video. Additionally, teachers can choose various English videos relevant to students' needs and learning materials to make this strategy more effective in improving students' English skills and competence.

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate CLIL implementation for English teaching in Indonesia, particularly how this approach can be used in the EFL learning context considering that in most cases CLIL is implemented for bilingual education. To get the information and learn the phenomena in depth, a study case was conducted. The data was collected through classroom observation of two English teachers who have implemented CLIL in their teaching practice. It was then followed by a focus group discussion with those teachers to confirm the CLIL application and get more comprehensive data. This study found that CLIL was quite significant to be implemented for teaching English as it was not only able to improve students’ language skills but also broaden their insight globally. From this study, it was also highlighted that teachers must carefully select the materials and consider students’ level of proficiency to make a meaningful and effective learning process.

Abstract

The lack of Indonesian students performing their abilities in L1 paraphrasing becomes the primary reason they are labeled as persistent plagiarizers. Students, in Indonesian context and circumstances, need to broaden their perspectives regarding how to document the sources, using them in their original papers to support and defend the arguments. Literacy should be developed sustainably in order for students might critically think and state things with evidence. However, to say that students still developing English writing text as intentional plagiarism will appear to be overly harsh. Teachers, at the university level, should acknowledge that students’ commitment to plagiarism is the process of knowing its definition, characters, impacts, and habit of copying others’ work without any attempt to document it properly. Moreover, it also signs the teachers that students’ ability to use academic English needs improving. Observing these facts urges us to facilitate students to make them ready to conduct the paraphrase of the L2 texts while their EAP is still developing. This study seeks the fundamental preparation that should be made to generate acceptable paraphrasing texts.

Abstract

This study seeks to examine whether university students' personalities and writing skills are correlated. This study used correlational research as its methodology. The researchers examined two variables, university students' personality and writing skills, to establish a statistical correlation between them. This study's respondent sample consists of forty students majoring in English education. This study was conducted in the English Education Department of Universitas Tidar's Faculty of Teacher Training and Education. Using an International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) questionnaire makes it simple to ascertain the personality scores of each respondent, regardless of whether they are high-extroversion or low-extroversion learners. In addition, the participants' writing skills were shown by their mid-semester essay writing course test scores. Quantitative data exists for both extroversion and writing scores. Therefore, Pearson product-moment and SPSS were used to analyze the data. Based on the results of this study, the researchers conclude that there is only a weak correlation between university students' personalities and their mastery of writing skills. Because the findings of this study contrast with those of other studies, it is hoped that further research will be conducted to provide a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding.

Abstract

Language learning is culture-bound, so culture should be included in the process of language teaching and learning. Using the framework proposed by Cortazzi and Jin (1999), this study evaluates the potential use of the textbook English on Sky to assist Intercultural Communicative Competence in Instruction as evidenced by the occurrence of three types of cultural elements: source culture, target culture, and international culture contained in the textbook. Conducted in Islamic boarding school context, this descriptive study collected data through a checklist from Cortazzi and Jin (1999), questionnaires distributed to students, and an interview conducted to an English teacher using the textbook. The findings reveal that the textbook contains all types of cultural elements represented in reading texts, dialogues, pictures, and tasks. Even though the occurrence of each is not balanced, English on Sky has potential to assist Intercultural Communicative Competence in Instruction since all types of cultures contained do not conflict with the value of the Islamic context. Pedagogically, teachers can use the textbook as the main source for teaching materials in Islamic schools so that students’ Intercultural Communicative Competence can be enhanced.
