<![CDATA[This study was aimed at scrutinising a multimodal text embedded in a dialogue of an EFL textbook. To this end, Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SF-MDA) focused on interpersonal meanings consulting grammar of visual design and intersemiotic complementarity drawing on systemic functional linguistics were employed to analyse the artefact, a dialogue within a part named 'communication' taken from an EFL textbook for a primary school level. The findings revealed that declarative clause and modalisation (epistemic modality) of probability was found to be the most common system used in the verbal text. Meanwhile, high modality and validity were found in the visual image indicated by the realisations and representations of detailed abstraction and full-colour saturation. Finally, the study draws a conclusion that there is a cohesive interaction to a certain extent between the verbal text and the visual image represented in the multimodal dialogue.]]>

<![CDATA[Terminology is one of the key language elements in the development of communicative competence in any language for specific purposes course. Tourism, as any other field of knowledge, predisposes certain specifics in its terminology. The aim of this paper is to establish a model for effective implementation of LTP (language for tourism purposes) in a university tourism-related language course. To reach this aim tourism terminology typology has been investigated via literature review and a study of the characteristics of tourism terminology and its teaching from both teachers' and students' perspectives, conducted at the University of Primorska, The results are shown in a model of LTP terminology implementation that suggests methods and activities in teaching tourism terminology which tends to be rather multidisciplinary, internationalised and (de)terminologised. The findings are not limited solely to tourism-related foreign language courses but could be adapted to any LSP university course.]]>

<![CDATA[Language teachers are usually provided with textbook material that contains several tasks and activities. Although these activities are meant to facilitate the learning and teaching processes, it is important to approach the provided material critically, make the necessary adjustments to its components, and contextualize its themes. The use of a checklist may render this process of adopting and adapting material feasible and effective since a checklist provides a practical systematic approach to analysis. This paper will provide the reader with a preliminary design of a checklist for vocabulary task evaluation that includes a 5-point Likert scale and contains eight main items and twenty-two sub-items that represent some of the main principles of vocabulary learning. These principles have been incorporated into the checklist on the basis of relevant literature and perspectives of different researchers, experienced teachers, and teacher trainers. This paper will also provide the reader with a demonstration of the use of this checklist through the analysis of a unit’s vocabulary section of the book “Gateway to English 2.â€]]>

<![CDATA[Translanguaging can be the latest all-embracing approach in language policy and assessment needed to substitute previous linguistic practices that treated languages as separate entities in a globalised world. This study is based on translanguaging by analysing activities that involved two cartoons in a multilingual classroom. This research was conducted to determine the opinions of Grade 12 EFAL learners on translanguaging by design activity in a multilingual setting. Grade 12 EFAL were chosen for their rich exposure to analysing cartoons. The class had 35 learners who were put in 5 focus groups to analyse the two cartoons. The 2017 cartoon had 5 questions and the 2018 cartoon had 4 questions, which learners answered in groups. The results indicate that translanguaging is an empowering tool that gives the learners a sense of ownership and belonging as they manipulate their previous linguistic knowledge to explore the given task. The teacher needs to alert the learners that they are free to use their home languages together with English to do an activity. This will help learners realise that there is not much difference between English and their home languages as they answer the questions. Teachers need to be multilingual so that they remain culturally and linguistically relevant to the learners.  ]]>

<![CDATA[Most research has been concerned predominantly with vocabulary breadth in comparison with vocabulary depth. This study aims to bridge this gap by answering the following question: How do scores on vocabulary size, depth of vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension correlate with each other? This study used quantitative method research on grade 11 English First Additional Language (EFAL) learners. Only 30 participants took part in the study. The independent variables used are the Vocabulary Levels Test (VLT) and Word Associate Test (WAT). Then, the dependent variable Reading comprehension is the dependent variable. The results indicated that 81% of the variance in the breadth of vocabulary scores which was measured through the VLT was shared with reading comprehension scores obtained in a reading comprehension test out of 30. On the other side, 90% of the variance in depth of vocabulary knowledge scores measured through a WAT was shared with reading comprehension scores. However, the depth of vocabulary scores could improve the prediction of the reading comprehension scores over and above the estimation accomplished by the vocabulary breadth scores. The results demonstrated the need for teachers to know their learners’ vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension abilities. ]]>

<![CDATA[Academic reading is one of the challenges commonly faced by university students especially EFL learners. This study aims to identify academic reading difficulties in higher education focusing on Indonesian university students. It used mixed-method by collecting quantitative data from close-ended questionnaires and qualitative data from one open-ended question. In this study, 60 students were asked to rate the reading aspects listed in the questionnaires based on its level of difficulty and provide commentaries as well as possible additional aspect. The statistic results showed that overall students considered academic reading easy (M=2.445, SD=0.568). Reading carefully to understand the text was found as the aspect with the least difficulty (M=2.16, SD= 0.963) and working out the meaning of difficult words was identified as the most difficult one (M=2.75, SD=1.235). These statistics are supported by the qualitative finding whereas 43% students having problems translating and understanding difficult and formal words.]]>

<![CDATA[The diversity in English performance is quite prominent when viewed from students' grammatical competence. For this reason, grammar learning innovation is needed so that student mastery improves. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using board game Engpoly (English Monopoly) in learning grammar for eight-grader students. It also provides reflection on student learning strategies in studying grammar. The design used a quasi-experimental design. For collecting the data, the researchers applied post-test and pre-test as research instruments. It involved two classes as a control group and an experimental group. The ANCOVA test results showed the significance of using Engpoly media in learning grammar. The finding also demonstrated that the use of fun media in the form of games can increase students' interest in learning grammar which was initially considered a very boring lesson by most students. It also encouraged student's active learning. This media has been proven to relate between the characteristics of eighth-grade students at junior high school with the appropriate grammar learning strategies they need. Since the use of Engpoly in grammar learning has a significant contribution, this study recommends that English teachers can develop Engpoly media for teaching grammar not only to eighth-graders but also to several other levels of english proficiency.]]>

<![CDATA[Task-based language teaching (TBLT) is a learning method that is considered more comprehensive compared to the communicative method, which has been considered far more useful in language teaching. TBLT proposes the use of tasks as a main component in the language classroom because it provides better context for learners to activate their acquisition process and promote second language learning. The current research compares the growth of students' vocabulary knowledge in English. This study aims to know the students’ experiences of TBLT in vocabulary learning. The qualitative research method used in this study is a narrative inquiry. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews based on interview guidelines and data analysis by involving students in the online learning process. The findings provide information about the learning process as well as the advantages of TBLT in vocabulary learning. The interview results show that students, in general, have a positive attitude toward learning vocabulary through TBLT method. It can be concluded that there are various positive experiences explained by participant, such as the use of TBLT in vocabulary learning is more interesting in learning process and students can master more new vocabulary when using the TBLT method.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to produce a learning model of news writing skills using the cooperative type group investigation strategy. This study was a research and development (R&D) that followed Borg & Gall's development procedure. The subject of study was students and lecturers at the University of PGRI Semarang. The developed learning model includes the components of introduction, concepts, advantages, objectives, characteristics, and steps in the learning of news writing based on the cooperative type group investigation strategy. The expert, user/practitioner, expert, user/practitioner, and field testing results showed that the developed learning model could improve the students’ news writing skills in terms of the process and the product. The success in the process was indicated by their activeness and seriousness in the steps of news writing activities based on the cooperative type group investigation strategy. The success in the product was indicated by the improvement of their news writing quality in the aspects of contents/substances and mechanics (spelling and punctuation). The ability to write news to PBSI students with learning models based on cooperative type group investigation strategy is better than students who study with conventional learning models.]]>
