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 article investigated how AI-based English learning applications contribute to English morphological awareness. This study involved 62 participants of university students. A quantitative approach was employed. Data collection was conducted by distributing questionnaires via Google Forms. Participants completed three types of questionnaires; (1) students’ habits in using AI-based English learning platforms, (2) Students’ morphological awareness, and (3) compositional test where participants were asked to make sentences based on provided words. The results show that the majority of participants used AI-based English applications for learning English. Additionally, the majority of them said they understood morphology when utilizing the English language. Likewise, the significance value for students’ habit in using AI-based English learning applications and students’ English morphological awareness is 0.000 and the Pearson correlation is 0.464. This means there is a moderate and positive correlation between students' morphological awareness and their usage of AI-based English learning platforms. Ultimately, the majority of students demonstrated a positive degree of morphological skill in English in their compositional test responses using the provided English vocabulary.

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.

Abstract

In the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher education, reflective practice is an integral part of the development of pedagogical practices, yet challenges persist in its effective implementation. This study investigates the perspectives of pre-service English teachers towards dialogical learning as part of reflective practice in a teaching practicum course in a private university in Jakarta. Employing semi-structured interviews with eight participants, the study reported the incorporation of reflective practice in the course, which was beneficial for improved teaching strategies, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing. However, the findings of this study revealed several challenges such as, demotivation to do reflective practice, lack of awareness of the importance of dialogical learning in reflective practice, and resource constraints. The study calls for the importance of explicit incorporation of dialogical learning as reflective practice in order to foster a culture of constructive feedback to enhance teacher development programs. In conclusion, this research contributes nuanced insights, urging a more intentional approach to reflective practices and dialogical learning in EFL teacher education for future pedagogical growth.

Abstract

Comprehending the impact of gender on code-switching behaviors in student presentations is essential for educators to create effective communication tactics and inclusive teaching techniques. The objective of this study is to examine the occurrence and patterns of code-switching in student presentations, with a particular emphasis on gender disparities. The study aims to investigate the differences between male and female students in their utilization of intra-sentential, inter-sentential, and tag-switching techniques during presentations. This study utilized a qualitative methodology. The researchers examined 12 presentations and identified occurrences of code-switching according to Poplack's (1980) theory. The results indicated notable disparities between genders in code-switching tendencies. Female students exhibited a greater occurrence of intra-sentential switching, with a frequency of 73%, in contrast to male students, who had a frequency of 27%. Inter-sentential switching is the most frequently utilized sort of code-switching, while Tag-switching is the least commonly employed by students. The study's findings indicate that female students have a higher tendency to code-switch during presentations, namely in the forms of intra-sentential and inter-sentential code-switching. These observations emphasize the importance for educators to take into account gender dynamics when creating teaching practices that employ code-switching as a means of efficient communication.

Abstract

Despite some changes in how masculinity is portrayed over time, certain disturbing patterns and characteristics continue. Yet, popular media exposure may be the primary way that children and most adults learn about others as well as absorb and internalize social norms, values, and beliefs that are reflected in the way the media is presented and expressed. One disturbing characteristic that is shown in TV series is toxic masculinity. This study aims to study the representation of toxic masculinity in Nate Jacob in the critically acclaimed series Euphoria (2019). In this research, the writers used the qualitative method to gather an in-depth, detailed, and comprehensive portrayal of toxic masculinity based on the characteristics of toxic masculinity proposed by Kupers. This study showed that Nate Jacobs represents Kupers' characteristics of toxic masculinity: misogyny, homophobia, greed, and violent domination. He performs toxic masculinity to prove to himself, symbolically, that he is not like his father. Nate exhibits dominance and violence because of his biggest fear of becoming like his homosexual father

Abstract

The study of translation has been widely discussed and used as a research topic in the last decade, and this research contributes to that body of work. The focus of this study is on two detective novels, "The Silkworm" and "The Cuckoo's Calling.". The research focuses on utterances in the form of stating, mentioning, which are referred to as assertive utterances to express impoliteness. Building on Searle’s expansion of Austin's speech act theory, which categorizes speech acts into assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative, this study analyzes assertive speech acts in both English and their translations, using Jonathan Culpeper's Impoliteness Theory. Data were collected by purposive sampling method and analyzed by content analysis. A focus group discussion (FGD) involving translation experts, raters, and supervisors with extensive experience in translation was conducted to identify translation techniques based on Molina & Albir's framework and to evaluate the translation quality of assertive speech acts representing impoliteness, using the assessment model proposed by Nababan et al. Descriptive-qualitative method was used to explain the research data and describe the analysis. The data found that the translation technique could have a significant effect on the quality of the translation.
