Abstract

Encouraging undergraduate students to engage in literary interpretation fosters creative thinking and enables them to perceive contexts in diverse and meaningful ways. Collaborative efforts among students to develop a unified interpretation of a new plot derived from the original storyline can liberate them from rigid thought patterns, allowing for greater expression of creativity in literary appreciation.  This qualitative study aims to explore the undergraduates’ creativity and ability through conceptualization and dramatization by demonstrating their appreciation with practical application.This research is a descriptive research employing a qualitative approach. The study involves 14 TESL undergraduates from a Malaysian higher education institution, second and third-year students created a new interpretation of a plot for Part 2 of 'An Inspector Calls,' drawing inspiration from the Freytag Pyramid. This study utilizes content analysis of the new plot structure and an observation checklist for documenting the staging process.. The findings of the study reveal the TESL undergraduates' proficiency in appreciating the essence of "An Inspector Calls" through the successful creation of a compelling plot. Additionally, they demonstrate a comprehensive grasp of literary elements by effectively staging the envisioned plot. The study concludes that TESL undergraduates possess the capability to showcase their literary interpretation and creative expression with practical application, as evidenced by their creation and staging of ACP2." This study implies the importance of incorporating creative activities into the teaching of literature, as it enhances students' creativity and interpretation of literary works.

Abstract

The pedagogy of Teaching English as a Foreign Language in Indonesia (TEFLIN) underscores the significance of substantive content in language instruction. This paper elucidates the pivotal role of integrating culturally relevant materials into English teaching-learning curricula to effectively develop students’ linguistic competence and linguistic performance. Drawing upon the symbiotic relationship between language and culture, the discourse explores how native speakers' cultural nuances in instructional materials catalyze students' linguistic competence and character development. Central to this approach is the recognition that language acquisition encompasses understanding the cultural underpinnings inherent in communication. This study delves into the pedagogical framework wherein the exploration and elucidation of linguistic features within input texts serve as conduits for delving into students' indigenous wisdom, thereby fostering character-building opportunities. However, successfully integrating these materials for character development hinges upon educators' adeptness in devising contextually relevant teaching-learning activities. Emphasizing the intrinsic moral values interwoven within instructional materials, this paper delineates a structured approach to character development through TEFLIN. Based on experiential insights, this article delineates a procedural framework for leveraging learning materials and teaching-learning activities within TEFLIN to nurture character traits. The outlined phases encompass pre-teaching rituals to set a conducive learning environment, interactive pedagogical approaches during instruction, and reflective post-teaching assessments. Educators are empowered to cultivate a culture of ethical consciousness and character refinement among students by accentuating the integration of moral values throughout the instructional process.

Abstract

Acquiring a foreign language necessitates navigating practical situations that transcend linguistic and cultural barriers. Therefore, it is the teachers’ responsibility to develop these abilities. However, teachers rarely do so in a foreign language (FL) teaching. Integrating culture into the process of language teaching becomes crucial. Utilizing the textbook is one method to incorporate culture into the FL classroom, as it contains cultural material and linguistics.  Limited research has been devoted to pedagogical analysis compared to the extensive concentration on content analysis in ELT textbook studies. The study aims to examine the teachers’ approaches to cultural depictions in an international English for Foreign Language (EFL) textbook, intending to educate students on a global worldview. The present study employed a qualitative research method with a case study design. The study recruited two junior high school English teachers who taught seventh-grade students at a private school in East Java, Indonesia. These teachers had incorporated cultural elements into their teaching. The instruments used to accomplish the research purpose were observation and post-observation interviews. The study's findings have verified that teachers utilized a comparative approach in presenting foreign cultural elements from the supplementary book to enhance English language learning. Exploring the students’ culture and contrasting it with foreign cultures has the potential to inspire greater participation from students in classroom activities. Using this strategy enables students to develop their English language proficiency in both linguistic and cultural aspects.

Abstract

There have been several studies interested in combining Internet Computer Technology (ICT) in writing because it improves the writing performance of L2 students in a widespread link to instruction. However, an earlier study has concentrated on the specific writing technologies employed. Few research has examined students' impressions of Screencast's use as an online video-audio tool for delivering feedback. This study adds to the corpus of knowledge about Indonesian students' perspectives on feedback. Participation, revision incorporation, feedback performance, and student preferences are the four feedback components examined in this research. The acquisition of primary data used varied methods. Online perception surveys were sent to Indonesian second-year college students. Personal and quasi interviews were also employed to improve data and learn what may drive students to perceive more. To analyse the interview data, a descriptive analysis was performed. Students reported a high level of pleasure while using video feedback with a particular technology, Screencast, in an online writing course. The interview data provide support. The students believed that video feedback allows them to strengthen their writing skills more effectively than textual feedback provided by the teacher. In this study, the implications for language teaching and learning practice are examined further.

Abstract

Religiosity refers to the extent of insight and knowledge one has about their religion, the strength of their belief in carrying out worship and following rules, and the depth of their absorption in their faith. Religiosity can be classified into several dimensions. According to Stark and Glock, these dimensions are divided into five categories: Religious Belief (The Ideological Dimension), Religious Practice (The Ritualistic Dimension), Religious Feeling (The Experiential Dimension), Religious Knowledge (The Intellectual Dimension), and Religious Effect (The Consequential Dimension). This research was conducted to provide an overview of religiosity as depicted in a literary work, a subject that has previously been rarely explored. The approach used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out using two techniques: the reading and note-taking technique and a questionnaire. The total number of religiosity dimensions analyzed in this study is 30, drawn from 15 poetry titles. The data reveal that the percentage distribution of religiosity dimensions is as follows: 53% for the belief dimension, 33% for the worship dimension, 10% for the knowledge dimension, 3% for the practice dimension, and 0% for the appreciation dimension. The findings of this study conclude that the belief dimension is the most dominant dimension in the poetry collection ‘Perang Pecah Lagi di Gaza’. Additionally, the study highlights the students' low understanding of exploration activities related to religiosity and its various dimensions.

Abstract

Linguistic issues such as interference and integration frequently arise in multilingual environment, which frequently result in barriers to second language production. This study examines at how language interaction between Acehnese and Indonesian has affected the Indonesian language in Langsa, with a particular emphasis on consonant variations and interference. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of phonological interference on Acehnese speakers when speaking the Indonesian language, with a specific focus on observing variations in consonant sounds using auditory means.  The study conducted a detailed examination of common variances in Indonesian pronunciation among Acehnese speakers.  This qualitative research was carried out in Langsa, Aceh Province, involving  40 individuals who are native speakers of Acehnese. The participants consisted of 20 males and 20 females, encompassing a range of ages.  The collected data was evaluated using the PRAAT software.  The findings revealed that there was interference in pronunciation, particularly in the form of devoicing, which is the absence of vowel resonance. This was observed in the words "[ap. di]" and "[ʤa.wap]."  This interference leads to a significant level of devoicing, reaching 90% and 100% respectively.  Furthermore, the study revealed phonological interference in words such as "[thə.linga]", "[tə.thap]", and "[a.hat]", with speakers demonstrating devoicing rates of 40%, 40%, and 100% respectively.  The findings showed the complex nature of phonological interference in the pronunciation of the Indonesian language by Acehnese speakers.  These findings served as a foundation for the development of more effective strategies for acquiring a second language, particularly in diglossic environments like Indonesia.

Abstract

Despite grammar receiving greater emphasis than other language skills in Iranian schools, Iranian EFL students encounter challenges in acquiring the linguistic structures they are exposed to, resulting in insufficient grammar knowledge. This experiment looked into the effects of spaced versus massed instruction on learning modal auxiliaries among Iranian EFL learners with a lower-intermediate command of English. To this end, through an Oxford Quick Placement Tests (OQPT), 78 lower-intermediate learners were selected and assigned in three conditions, with 26 subjects in each: Spaced condition, Massed condition, Control condition. Using a Levene’s test, it was shown that the subjects were homogenous prior to the experiment. Then, a pretest was used. The results of the pretest showed that there was no between groups’ difference prior to the treatment. Afterward, the spaced group received three 30-minute sessions on modal auxiliaries based on Fundamentals of English Grammar by Azar (2016), while the massed condition received the instruction in just a single 90-minute session. The subjects in all conditions were then posttested. The results of a one-way between groups analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that both treatment groups outperformed the comparison group (p < .05) with a large effect size (eta squared = .63). The results of post-hoc analyzes using Bonferroni adjustment further revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the two experimental conditions (p < .05). That is, the spaced subjects gained more compared to their massed counterparts with regard to the targeted L2 form. Pedagogically, this study suggests ESL/EFL instructors could integrate spaced instruction strategies for enhancing students' proficiency in modals. Material developers may also leverage these findings to create more engaging and effective instructional materials.

Abstract

Arabic writing skills at the higher education level were still experiencing stagnation, which required efforts to improve learning. This research was presented as an exploration of overcoming this problem. This research aimed to describe the application of the Translate Self-Review (TSR) method based on the Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) approach in arabic writing learning in higher education along with students' perceptions of this learning. This research used qualitative-descriptive method, and data was collected through questionnaire, observations, and documentation, then it was analyzed using Miles and Huberman analysis techniques. This research results highlighted that although there was a positive response from students towards the use of this method in creating an enjoyable learning experience and facilitating cross-cultural relationships, there was still a gap between theory and practice, indicating obstacles in improving Arabic writing skills in elementary-level inclusive classes. This research underlined the importance of adapting learning methods that were more appropriate to students' level of understanding and extending them to higher levels of education to obtain a more holistic picture. The TSR method based CRT approach offered potential in creating an inclusive learning environment, but needed modification to effectively meet the needs of diverse learners and improve Arabic writing skills at the higher education level.
