Abstract

The teacher found several vocabulary problems faced by the students during teaching and learning English. The students were lack of vocabulary mastery, had difficulty in memorizing the word, sometimes missed spelling the word, and the difficulty pronouncing the words and finding the word's meaning. They were difficult to recognize the word classes such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs effectively.  For this reason, the researcher brought U-dictionary as media to improve students' vocabulary mastery. The classroom action research method with two cycles was used in this research. The subject was the second-semester students of Bina Sarana Informatika University consisting of 46 students. The observation and measurement techniques were used as the technique of collecting data. The observation checklists, field notes, interviews, and tests were used as the instruments for collecting data. The result showed that the use of U-Dictionary could help the teacher to improve the student's vocabulary mastery effectively. It served as a fun and simple way of learning activity.  U-Dictionary led the students to build up their motivation and interest during the teaching and learning process.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of an automated writing evaluation (AWE) tool in improving the writing skills of lower-proficiency EFL learners. The study involved 34 non-English major university students who received AWE feedback from the WhiteSmoke Writing Assistant during their writing practice sessions. The quality of their writing was evaluated using pre-and post-tests, and their perceptions of the feedback were gathered through a questionnaire. The results showed a significant improvement in the quality of students' writing after using AWE feedback. Additionally, the students perceived the AWE feedback as positively impacting the quality of their writing. These findings suggest that AWE feedback is a promising tool that can be incorporated into the writing class program to enhance the quality of students' writing. Writing teachers can use the tool to evaluate students' compositions and provide targeted feedback to help them improve their writing skills. Overall, the study highlights the potential of technology-based writing tools to facilitate language learning and improve EFL learners' writing proficiency.

Abstract

Initiation between teachers and students is the foundation for classroom discourse. Multiple models for classroom discourse could improve the initiation between the teacher and students in the classroom. It is presumptively true that classroom discourse "follows a fairly normal and predictable pattern, also known as IRF, or IRE: Initiation, Response, and Feedback or Evaluation, consists of three parts: a teacher Initiation, a student response, and a teacher Feedback. Some authors and practitioners prefer IRE to represent that teachers' feedback is typically an assessment of a student's participation. Teachers continually evaluate if a statement is correct and provide feedback to students. In this study, researchers use a literature review. A literature review examines academic books, papers, and other sources relevant to a topic, discipline of study, or theory. The study employs reliable sources from articles and e-books. This paper explores the Initiation, Response, and Feedback in English language teaching.

Abstract

This study aims to discover critical discourse analysis in the text of speeches by Nadiem Makarim and Muhadjir Effendy. The speeches of these two figures were chosen because the text is a kind of Critical Discourse Analysis object (CDA). The Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) method examines the relationship between language, ideology, and power. The descriptive qualitative method was used in this study. The researcher uses Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional framework (CDA) to analyze Critical Discourse Analysis data. The researchers used qualitative data analysis theory from Miles and Huberman (1994) to present and analyze the data, which included data reduction, data display or representation, and conclusion drawing or verification. The result of this study shows that both the script of speeches from Nadiem Makarim and Muhadjir Effendy have micro, mezzo, and macro-level related to the framework of Norman Fairclough. The language used in both speeches is the standard language. Still, the speech of Nadiem Makarim used more natural and creative language that can touch the millennial generations. In contrast, in the speech of Muhadjir, familiar words can confuse the audience.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the benefits and implementation of Differentiated Instruction by teachers in English classes. Qualitative methods are used to extract information from sources. Data was collected using interviews which consisted of several questions referring to indicators from the theory used. Then, Data analysis is carried out in three ways, including organizing and categorizing data, compiling the context of information that has been obtained, and abstracting key ideas that have been expressed. As a result, teachers implement Differentiated Instruction according to the curriculum and student needs. Students are divided into three types according to differences in students abilities, and teachers provide different treatment according to students' abilities. Then, an assessment will be carried out using observations based on student performance. Meanwhile, the benefits of DI can accommodate student needs and be more effective in involving students in the learning process. Students can get a fair opportunity from the teacher based on the level of ability obtained from the pre-assessment for learning objectives to be achieved. It is feasible to apply DI in the teaching and learning process for educators. Teachers can quickly ascertain the learning capabilities and preferred learning styles of their students.
