Many educational institutions have been conducting writing assessments to measure students’ ability in writing, yet little is known about whether time restriction and learning strategies are contributing factors to students’ performance. In Indonesian educational institutions, writing assessments serve as a means to measure students’ proficiency in articulating thoughts in the target language, providing teachers with insights into their linguistic ability. The objective of this study is to determine whether allocating extra time for timed academic essays will substantially enhance the quality of students' writing. Additionally, this study seeks to uncover the correlation between students' L2 learning strategies and their writing performance. This study used a quantitative design. The main instruments were questionnaires and writing tests collected at two parallel classes of a private university in Indonesia, comprising of 50 students in total as the study participants. The quantitative methods used independent t-tests and Spearman’s rho correlation to analyze the data. The result showed that time limit had a significant effect on writing performance (t(34.6)= 3.185, p= .003). Another result indicated minimal to no correlation between writing scores and autonomous learning practices. In conclusion, this study offers valuable and practical implications in the writing assessment industry that there should be a re-evaluation in the administration of writing assessment in educational institutions in Indonesia that truly reflects students’ writing ability.

A parameter in assessing the translation quality is naturalness. The naturalness in translation adopted the concept of translation as an act of communication. It means that translation has a proper structure and choice of words according to a particular context. The article discusses the naturalness of translation based on pragmatic studies. The study used the utterances in the tourism text Solo Calendar of Event 2018 as data since the text had a communication function in conveying persuasive messages to tourists. In measuring the naturalness, the translation must achieve the equivalence in sentence structure and the types as well as the intended meaning of an utterance. The results indicated that the translation was categorized as fully equivalence with 70.49% of total data while the less equivalence and inequivalence of translation are 24.59% and 4.91% respectively from total data. The naturalness of translation from a pragmatic point of view requires understanding the objective of communication. It involves understanding utterance functions from the source text and achieving equivalence in translation. Translators also consider the choices of utterances since they can impact the target audience. The analysis of naturalness using pragmatic perspective offers new insight in the translation quality assessment.

A B S T R A C T Microteaching classes can be a challenging area of negotiation between personal and professional values which can help and provide pre-service teachers understanding and opportunities to hone their teaching and learning process better. This research aims to identify the application of metacognitive strategies in the preparation process for teaching practice in microteaching classes, by focusing on the research questions regarding the implementation of metacognitive strategies in teaching practice exercises and students’s motivation to apply metacognitive strategies in micro-teaching classes. A qualitative case study method was used to answer these two research questions by employing purposive sampling with three participants in a micro-teaching class (semester five). The study reveals that students applied metacognitive strategies of goal-setting, planning, monitoring, and evaluating strategies to enhance their teaching practices. These strategies are influenced by internal and external motivation factors, such as intuition, personal experience, and self-awareness. Nevertheless, as this study involved a small group and did not focus on real classroom practices, future studies are suggested to involve more participants and combine methods to track both the immediate and long-term effects of using metacognitive strategies in teacher training.

Code-switching is an exciting phenomenon in the English classroom, especially in multilingual settings. While it is being practiced, several types of it have appeared. Dealing with the previous phenomenon, this research is intended to describe the types of code-switching used by the English teacher while conducting English classrooms. Descriptive research was used as the framework of this study to cope with the earlier goal. In collecting the data, the audio recording was used to record the classroom conversation and then transcribed into written form. After that, the data was analyzed. Furthermore, the findings highlight that the teacher uses three types of code-switching: tag-switching, inter-sentential switching, and intra-sentential switching. Also, this study reclassified the tag-switching into tag-switching with tag-phrase at the initial and the end of the sentence. Then, it regrouped inter-sentential switching into inter-sentential switching between clause and sentence and inter-sentential switching between two sentences. Last, it recategorized intra-sentential switching into intra-sentential switching with embedded words and intra-sentential switching with the inserted words. By describing the previous findings, it is hoped that types of code-switching can be clearly understood.
