Abstract

TNon-formal English course institutions can establish a learning environment that emphasizes not only students' affective side but also their cognitive and psychomotor components. Therefore, this study aimed to find out The Impact of Non-Formal English Courses on Grammatical Skills. This research uses a qualitative approach, such as a descriptive case study with observation and interviews. In addition, the data analysis used is data reduction, data display, and conclusions drawing. The findings reveal that non-formal English courses have a very good influence on students' foreign language skills. Besides having an impact on their formal school grades, these non-formal courses are also very useful in students' daily lives. In addition, students also really like the teaching methods in non-formal courses that are simple and easy to understand. Therefore, we need to know that the material obtained from informal schools is not enough to develop students' skills. Students need more intensive teaching and additional material to get satisfactory results, such as attending non-formal courses and so on.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between habitual use of local language and students' difficulty accepting English. The research was conducted using a qualitative study. The data is collected through survey questionnaires, observation, and focus group discussions. The participants in this study are 78 students from four study programs at Universitas Muhadi Setiabudi. These are Indonesian Language and Literature Education, Primary School Teacher Education, Pharmacy, and Nutrition Study Program at the undergraduate level. The results showed that habitual use of local language significantly affected students' difficulty in accepting and adopting English. The researcher has found that the frequent use of the local language can create a linguistic comfort zone, making it challenging to learn and accept a foreign language like learning English. Ultimately, the success of learning English depends on a variety of factors, including the student's motivation, learning style, and exposure to the language. Furthermore, the student's motivation, learning style, and exposure to the language were also important factors contributing to the resistance towards learning English.

Abstract

Students’ collaboration is essential for the construction of effective, deep, and reflective learning. In the context of computer-mediated learning, students’ collaboration was facilitated by discussion forum. While discussion forum is used among distanced learners, there is still lack of knowledge on what really happens when students participate in the discussion forum. This study shed lights on students’ engagement in three discussion forums of two language skill courses (Speaking 1 and Writing 1) conducted asynchronously. The engagement was measured from (i) students’ posts or comments to see how much students’ participation in the forum, (ii) engagement patterns they formed, and (iii) how such collaboration reflected the phases of practical inquiry in online-mediated learning. Results showed that during online-asynchronous seminars, students’ participation was minimal and teachers’ posts were prevalent with posts on confirming students’ answers. This type of interaction, in turns, resulting in a one-way serial monologue – students did not response to each other posts. Analysis on practical inquiry model also confirmed the findings that students’ engagements were in the level of triggering event by which students only responded to the teacher’s thread and did not respond to each other posts. Students’ exchange of information was not negotiated, thus not allowing students to move forwards to integration and resolution phases. The findings were linked with the tasks set out by the teachers in both courses.
