Abstract

The majority of learning and teaching activities during the COVID-19 era were distributed to remote learners. The ineffectiveness of face-to-face instruction was subsequently put aside as students felt comfortable learning online. Policymakers in the education system had to adjust to a new normal or habit once the COVID-19 cases started to decline. The aim of this research is to identify the challenges faced by final year students in completing thesis during the Post-Covid-19 New Normal Habitus period and to find out how final year students can complete their thesis guidance during the Post-Covid-19 New Normal Habitus period. There were 15 English students joining the interview and the research was conducted within the State Islamic campus in Jambi City. Coding system was implemented to get credible data. The result shows that Completing studies in the New Normal Era has several obstacles. One of the most significant problems is the communication problem between students and supervisors which involves internal and external factors. Internal factors focus on difficulties caused by students' lack of understanding of thesis components, references and citation styles. Meanwhile, external factors focus on students' difficulties in the thesis writing process which depends on the direction of the supervisor, where some lecturers still provide online thesis guidance, where students agree that online counseling is not effective.

Abstract

Generally speaking, children's reading motivation and skills are low, notably those in orphanages requiring solution, one of which is through reading activities applying read-aloud method. Most studies on the read-aloud method were qualitative. This study attempted to address the gap by employing a mixed-methods design with 10 foster children from an orphanage chosen using purposive sampling technique. Observations, tests, and interviews were used to collect the data. Quantitative data from observations and tests were statistically analyzed and reported in frequency and percentage to determine the difference in the number of children who improved following the program. Additionally, interviews were conducted to obtain qualitative data on children's and orphanages' perspectives of the program and its impacts, and the results were assessed using qualitative data analysis including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered and analyzed concurrently. They were then merged and interpreted through a side-by-side comparison approach. Finally, convergence or divergence between the two sources of data was determined. The findings show that quantitative and qualitative data confirm each other, demonstrating that the read-aloud method improved children's reading motivation by significantly increasing the length of time for reading and the number of books read, as well as a slight increase in children's reading comprehension and confidence.  In addition, the children's reading fluency improved substantially, while their reading accuracy and clarity improved slightly. Future research should focus on areas that need the most improvement and entail a larger sample size. Additionally, reading assistance for foster children is always recommended.

Abstract

The students’ experiences, perceptions, and outcomes of learning English may be affected by the different methods and practices of English Language Teaching (ELT). Methods and strategies used in ELT may differ from one country to another due to various factors. This qualitative study employed an interpretive framework and narrative inquiry approach to explore the way Nepali students learned English in Nepali and Australian contexts. The participants involved five Nepali students who studied an advanced-level English for Academic Preparation (EAP) course at Melbourne City College Australia (MCCA). The researcher employed snowball sampling to select the subjects. The technique used in data collection was a semi-structured interview. All the interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data was coded and categorized using thematic analysis to find common themes and patterns. The findings revealed significant differences in the teaching methods, vocabulary instruction, feedback practices, and technology use. The study emphasized the importance of using pedagogical strategies that foster communication skills, contextual vocabulary learning, constructive feedback, and technology integration for effective ELT.

Abstract

Motivation plays a pivotal role in the success of second language acquisition, as indicated by numerous studies. While it has long been acknowledged that motivated learners tend to achieve better outcomes, various taxonomies have emerged to differentiate motivation types. The two widely recognized classifications are intrinsic/extrinsic and integrative/instrumental. This cross-sectional research aims to comprehensively discuss and analyze the four types of motivation exhibited by students at one of the private university in Indonesia enrolled in English for International Communication (TOEIC-based) classes. A structured questionnaire based on Gardner's Attitudes/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) was utilized as the research instrument. The study spanned one year, during which students were exposed to a minimum of two TOEIC-based classes. The research sample, consisting of 446 students, was thoughtfully selected through purposive sampling techniques. This sample was further stratified, with 254 students drawn from the third-fourth semesters and 192 students from the fifth-sixth semesters. The findings, presented in numerical format, revealed that a majority of students demonstrated high levels of motivation across all motivation classifications. This research sheds light on the motivation dynamics of the students, providing valuable insights for educators and language learning practitioners.

Abstract

The English writing learning process is crucial in English language education, but it often faces challenges such as limited resources and ineffective teaching methods. To address these issues, this study explores the use of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) integrated with Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) in the context of English as a foreign language (EFL) learning, specifically in the writing course. The research aims to investigate how the integration of PBL and TPACK can enhance students' writing learning outcomes (assessing their content and clarity, structure of the writing, and language quality). The research follows a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design with a quantitative approach. The subjects consist of 10th-grade students from a public high school in Pasuruan Regency, with a total of 33 participants. Data collection instruments include pre and post writing tests and observation. Data analysis is conducted using Microsoft Excel, employing percentages. The findings demonstrate that the implementation of PBL integrated with TPACK leads to significant improvements in students' writing learning outcomes. In the pre-cycle, the pass percentage was only 39.39%, while in cycle I, it increased to 75.76%, and in cycle II, it reached 93.94%. This study contributes to the development of curricula and teaching methods for English writing. These findings have important implications for future writing instruction that can help improve students' writing learning outcomes. This study’s limitations are constraining the applicability of its findings to diverse educational environments and a relatively brief timeframe. Future research could explore cross-cultural variations, delve into extended research periods, and compare the effectiveness of PBL and TPACK with alternative teaching models in EFL education.
