Abstract

To face 21st-century challenges, the elements involved in the pedagogical approach, such as textbooks, must enable students to enhance their higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). This qualitative research aims to determine to what extent HOTS is incorporated in an Indonesian EFL textbook. The comprehension questions of reading texts in the textbook for 7th grade were analyzed through content analysis based on the six cognitive domains in the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001). The findings of the study revealed: (1) 80,4% of the reading comprehension questions classified as lower-order thinking skills (LOTS), particularly level 1 (remember) and level 2 (understanding), whereas 19,6% of the questions classified as higher-level thinking skills, primarily the level 4 (analyze) and level 5 (evaluate). (2) The reading comprehension check questions were organized systematically from lower-thinking to higher-thinking skills, which develops students’ comprehension and provides instructional organization for teaching texts to English teachers. This study is expected to benefit English teachers, textbook authors, and future researchers to elaborate on implementing HOTS in English language teaching and learning.

Abstract

Despite the acknowledged benefits of bilingualism in children's language development and executive functioning, a significant gap persists in understanding instances where bilingual children actively avoid using their acquired language skills with their parents. This study addresses this gap by examining the factors contributing to the reluctance of Indonesian children proficient in foreign languages to speak them with their parents. Through qualitative exploration deeply embedded in the participants' cultural and linguistic context, the research focuses on parental influence and intergenerational dynamics. This theme underscores parents' pivotal role in shaping bilingual children's language choices and preferences, revealing insights into their tendency to avoid speaking a foreign language. The complex dynamics of language dominance and exposure in bilingual families, influenced by factors such as parental beliefs, language policies, and the broader sociocultural context, are explored. The interplay between parental guidance and a child's preferences underscores the intricate nature of language dynamics within the family. Additionally, the study examines how navigating multicultural environments within bilingual families significantly impacts bilingual children. This unique case sheds light on how parental influence and cultural exposure jointly shape a child's bilingual language preferences, providing a nuanced understanding of language choices within a family setting.

Abstract

Despite the existence of many studies on the analysis of grammatical errors in writing, little scholarly work reports the errors in academic articles, especially in medical journals. To fill this empirical gap, the present study investigates grammatical errors within written English abstracts of academic articles from a nursing journal in Indonesia. In particular, it attempts to classify the errors based on a surface strategy taxonomy proposed by Dulay et al. (1982), namely misformation, omission, addition, and misordering. The method used is content analysis. The results of this study indicate that errors were found from all four classification categories. Further, we noted that the most commonly found errors were in the category of misformation followed by omission, addition, and misordering. The findings of this research are expected to serve as a reference for future scholars when avoiding errors in writing English abstracts for academic articles.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the form of interaction in the EFL classroom in Indonesia. Consequently, it is vital for Indonesian EFL teachers to analyse the current form of interaction in online settings to ensure quality teaching and learning. Even though many studies have addressed the issue, this study offers an alternative analysis by adapting FIACS (Flanders Interaction Analysis Category System) as one of the most common tools for classroom interaction analysis. This case study aimed to explore EFL classroom interaction by using FIACS as the framework. The necessary data was collected through direct and indirect observation between an EFL teacher and his lower secondary students. Based on the analysis, it appeared that the online EFL classroom interaction was dominated by the teacher. One of the causes was the passiveness of the students due to the technological glitches. The pattern and characteristics of the interaction also changed. One of the most notable changes was the difficulty to observe and manage the interaction between students. These observed features of the EFL online classroom portrayed how the class is conducted as well as ideas for other EFL teachers and practitioners to prepare and organize it.

Abstract

The rising prominence of remote speaking practice in education and professional development underscores its critical significance. Enabled by advancing technology, remote platforms offer unprecedented convenience and accessibility for individuals to refine speaking skills. Research explores the efficacy of remote speaking practice, drawing on previous studies that have examined technology-mediated communication for language learning and public speaking training. Building on this foundation, this study investigates students' perceptions of remote speaking tasks' impact on pronunciation, speaking skills, and confidence. Through a qualitative approach involving open-ended surveys distributed to 19 English students at one of the Islamic private universities in Indonesia, attitudes and motivations shaping students' perspectives are explored. Analysis using NVivo 12 highlights the pivotal role of remote speaking tasks in improving pronunciation skills and fostering English speaking proficiency. Moreover, students' recognition of confidence as integral to successful language learning underscores the importance of supportive learning environments. The findings underscore the necessity of integrating remote speaking tasks into language curricula to enhance pronunciation and speaking proficiency effectively while emphasizing the pivotal role of confidence in facilitating language acquisition. These insights hold significant implications for language education, advocating for the incorporation of remote speaking practice to empower learners in developing fluency and proficiency in virtual environments.

Abstract

There are differences of opinion arising from the results of research on the use of WhatsApp in ELT. The results revealed that the use of WhatsApp software contributed positively to the development of English writing proficiency, and the other results considered that the use of WhatsApp has many weaknesses and difficulties in writing and other language instructions. This controversy allowed the researcher to conduct research aimed at finding out whether there was a correlation between the use of WhatsApp as a tool in writing activities and EFL student writing performance and to find out how close the relationship between the two variables is. The statistical correlation from Pearson Product Moment revealed that the correlation of the independent variable (X) with the dependent variable (Y) showed a sig. value of 0.000 < 0.05, and the correlation rate was very strong with a correlation coefficient (r = 0.832), along with the hypothesis tested showing Ho: ?1 ? 0. This study shows a very strong correlation between the use of WhatsApp as a tool in English writing activities and writing performance. WhatsApp interventions into ELT in the form of group WhatsApp and individual WhatsApp’s text message interactions have contributed to EFL students’ writing skills as the correlation of two variables goes parallel. The more students do the writing activity through WhatsApp, the higher the writing achievement they acquire.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the translation strategies for Islamic terms used by English teachers. The study focuses on preservation, addition, globalization, and localization strategies used by English teachers in an Islamic school in Bekasi. It delves into the importance of accurate translation to convey the essence of Islamic terms, highlighting the reason for strategies that English teachers used. This study utilized a qualitative research approach to investigate the translation strategies employed by English teachers in Islamic schools. The research involved primary data collection through observation and interviews with English teachers at Quba Islamic School in Bekasi. Two English teachers, one for the lower and one for the upper levels, were selected as research subjects. The result found that preservation is the most common strategy for teachers when teaching students Islamic terms. However, teachers use fewer addition strategies. Teachers also use globalization of Islamic terms, which involves a global or universal perspective in teaching Islamic terms. Meanwhile, teachers do not use localization strategies in the English classroom. Additionally, these studies underscore the significance of teachers shaping students' understanding of Islamic terms through various strategies.
