The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with the type of case study. The research location is in the Al Hamidiyah area of the Nurul Jadid Islamic boarding school student cottage and for research subject in special classes for student linguistics including two language teachers as primary informant subject and one student as secondry informants subject. Meanwhile, the data collection used in this study included direct observation and unstructured interviews in determining the data's accuracy. The data analysis technique consists of the stages of collecting data, preparing it for analysis, analyzing it, and then concluding the analysis. The results obtained from the application of the suggestopedia method are the increasing understanding of students in participating in Grammar lessons because students are invited to understand the core of the material in an enjoyable and calming way, namely by good class arrangement and being given soothing music accompaniment.

Abstract

Since the Kurikulum Merdeka was implemented to respond to the learning loss students experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic, student-centered learning assessment (SCLA) has become a significant part of current Indonesian senior high school educational initiatives. However, previous research found that teachers need more understanding of the concept of SCLA. Thus, this study explores vocational high school EFL teacher's understanding of SCLA in implementing problem-based learning in the Kurikulum Merdeka aligned with the theory from Jonassen (2000). This qualitative case study employed an interview as the main instrument to discover an understanding from one teacher. Based on the data analysis through thematic analysis, the findings revealed that the teacher had a fair understanding of the student-centered learning assessment's concepts, advantages, and obstacles. Nevertheless, the teacher still needed to learn more about SCLA. Although not all of the research findings were relevant to the previous study and the theory, the teacher reasonably implemented the student-centered learning assessment while improving the future teaching- learning process, particularly the assessment system. Moreover, there is an expectation for the school, principals, and other stakeholders to pay attention to providing teachers with training regarding student-centered learning assessment. In addition, teachers are expected to be willing to stay up-to-date with the change of curriculum, including the shift in the assessment form, teachers' role, and learning to understand the current curriculum and the learning methods.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the types of written feedback given by teachers on the writing of eleventh-grade senior high school students at SMA Tarbiyah Islamiyah. The instrument used was document analysis to examine the type of written feedback given by the English teacher on the writing results of tenth-grade students majoring in Social Sciences (IPS) and Natural Sciences (IPA). The findings revealed that the two teachers used different written feedback on students' writing. Teachers who teach in the Science major tend to use direct written feedback and teachers who teach in the Social Sciences department use indirect feedback. It can be concluded that the reason for the different types of written feedback used is that teachers who teach in science majors think that direct feedback is more detailed and understood more quickly by students. Meanwhile, teachers who teach in the Social Sciences major argue that providing written feedback indirectly it can encourage students to think and make students more curious about the mistakes they write and students can ask questions to the teacher.

Abstract

Students' vocabulary knowledge is related to their morphological awareness, which plays an essential role in word comprehension and vocabulary development. This case study is aimed at describing undergraduate students’ morphological awareness and difficulties in morpheme identification and word relationship. This study employed the MAT test in two analytical tests. The Morpheme Identification Test is used to measure how well first-year college students can analyze and break down complicated words into their smaller meanings. Meanwhile, the Word Relation Test is administered to measure undergraduate students’ awareness of relations among base or root words and their inflected or derived forms. An interview was used to support the results of the tests. The result showed that the students performed better in breaking down inflected forms than those in derived forms. As in the Word Relation Test, it was discovered that the students had done better in identifying morphologically related word pairs. There were three types of difficulties in the morpheme identification test. The first was in breaking down complex words into smaller morphemes; the second was in stating the meaning of each smaller morpheme, especially affixes; and the third was in categorizing the complex words into inflected or derived forms.

Abstract

This study aims to find out the effectiveness of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) by smartphones to increase English proficiency of Papuan EFL students. The mixed method was implemented specifically related to the explanatory sequential design (Quantitative-Qualitative) where the research design comprised two interactive sequential stages. The first stage was carried out by collecting and analyzing quantitative data using the pre-experimental method to find out the difference before and after being given treatment. The samples were determined using purposive sampling where 30 Papuan EFL students were selected, and data were analyzed by using SPSS. The second stage was carried out by collecting and analyzing qualitative data using structured interviews. The samples were determined using purposive sampling also, and 7 Papuan EFL students were considered representative to obtain data. The results show that Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) by smartphones is effective to increase English proficiency of Papuan EFL students by a significant increase of 38.70%. The effectiveness of this learning cannot be separated from the aspects of efficiency, flexibility, and accessibility supported by excellence in terms of visualization and auditory systems. Moreover, some factors that certainly become constraints of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) including internet networks, small screens, notifications and advertisements, lack of proficiency towards applications, unsupported smartphones, and battery power. By solving all these constraints, CALL can be more effective to be applied in teaching and learning. The significant implication provides better change in the world of education through learning strategies in utilizing technology especially certain context and conditions in Papua.

Abstract

As technology integration in language classroom becomes a focal point in the last few decades, many studies put their focus on in-service language teachers competences and performances in integrating technology into their classroom activities. However, study regarding how pre-service language teachers in teacher education program are systematically being prepared for technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) is insufficient. This is a crucial issue since preparing pre-service teachers with adequate TPACK and skills is a consequence for having well-prepared in-service language teachers for future digital learning environment. This study examines pre-service language teachers perception on their TPACK based on Mishra and Kohlers framework. Using descriptive quantitative method, this study investigates the pre-services language teachers TPACK as perceived by themselves. TPACK survey questionnaire consisting of 39 questions in a Likert Scale ranging from strongly disagree (scored 1) to strongly agree (scored 5) was distributed to 201 pre-service language teachers majoring in English language education and Indonesian language education from one of universities in South Sumatera. The result reveals that 73.2% of pre-service English teachers and 67.6% of Indonesian language pre-service teachers believed that they know about technology they can use for understanding and doing literacy. In addition, 76.9% of pre-service English teachers and 61.7% of Indonesian language pre-service teachers consider themselves to be able to choose technology that enhance the teaching approaches for a lesson. However, only 60.5% of pre-service English teachers and 52.9% Indonesian language pre-service teachers were confident that they can teach lesson appropriately combining literacy, technologies, and teaching approaches.
