Abstract

The ability to read well is essential for learning English. Students' reading comprehension can be influenced by the application of efficient reading practices. Cognitive reading strategies are one method that can be used to enhance reading comprehension abilities. By using cognitive reading strategies, students can visualize information, absorb information in a predictable way, make connections between the text and prior knowledge, and evaluate their understanding. This study investigates the teacher's role in implementing cognitive reading strategies to improve students' reading comprehension abilities. This article uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature study design. Data was gathered through literature searches on Sinta, Google Scholar, Neliti.com, and ResearchGate. By arranging and summarizing research findings from several chosen articles, a descriptive analysis of the data was conducted. The findings indicate that the role of teachers is essential in helping students apply cognitive reading strategies to improve their reading comprehension skills, such as providing direction and guidance on reading strategies, modeling strategies, providing a supporting learning environment, activating students' prior knowledge, assisting and providing feedback to students, facilitating cooperative practice. However, this article only used secondary data so that the weakness of this article is the limited availability of related literature. Concerning the consequences, it is advised that future researchers might investigate deeper into the specific aspects that determine the successful implementation of cognitive reading strategies.

Abstract

The present study examines the representation of cultural content in cultural representation, English the 11th-grade English textbook “Bahasa Inggris: English for Change.” This descriptive qualitative research employs document analysis as the data collection technique. The study investigates the cultural representation in this Senior High School English textbook using Cortazzi and Jin’s (1999) cultural dimensions and Yuen’s (2011) cultural elements as the analytical framework. The analysis reveals that Indonesian culture is predominantly featured across all textbook units, resulting in a limited representation of foreign cultural dimensions. Practice elements are the most prevalent, followed by product, person, and perspective elements in terms of cultural distribution. The findings indicate an imbalanced representation between Indonesian and foreign cultures, as well as an uneven distribution of the cultural aspects outlined by Yuen's framework (2011). It is recommended that the textbook authors incorporate a more diverse range of cultures to enhance students’ intercultural knowledge.

Abstract

The demand for innovative and attractive teaching resources in the digital age is crucial for enhancing students' language proficiency and learning engagement. This study examines students' perceptions of Photomindset as media in English teaching and learning. This study employed a mixed-method approach, combining a close-ended questionnaire and interviews. The study involved 32 students in one of Junior High School in Batam, Indonesia and utilized the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to assess their perceptions. Three students with the highest TAM scores were selected for interviews to gain deeper insights into their perception. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to describe the tendency of students' perceptions of Photomindset and the relationship between perceived usefulness and perceived ease, as measured by Pearson correlation. Thematic analysis was employed to identify recurring themes and pattern from interviews. The results showed that students have positive perception of Photomindset with the mean score of 116 for Perceived Usefulness and 115 for Perceived Ease of Use. However, there is no correlation between perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. The findings suggests that Photomindset is an effective, beneficial and user-friendly tool for enhancing English learning.

Abstract

This study seeks to investigate second/foreign language (L2) reticence among students taking an online public speaking class at an English Language Education Department in Java, Indonesia. These participants were selected because based on a preceding observational study, L2 reticence was present among these target participants in the observed public speaking class. More specifically, the present study intends to discover the possible causes of L2 reticence and the possible strategies to alleviate it. To achieve this goal, four reticent students, identified based on the observation data from the preceding study, as well as two teachers who taught the class, were individually interviewed. The interview data were analysed using Thematic Analysis. The results suggested the student participants' beliefs that low confidence levels and fear of possible embarrassment were major causes of L2 reticence. The teacher participants, furthermore, believed that constantly monitored group discussions and teacher psychological support could lessen students' L2 reticence. Implications include setting clear expectations and assigning roles to each student to keep students accountable. Teachers should also maintain a democratic classroom environment where students can feel more at ease in expressing their thoughts.
