Abstract

The trend towards more process-oriented academic writing instructions require students to pay more attention to and develop their use of writing strategies to ensure learning success. Accordingly, the current study investigates the use of writing strategies performed by freshmen of the English language department in an Indonesian teaching university. The study is an initial effort to provide a theoretical basis for the development of more student-centered and process-oriented writing instructions for the university’s academic writing courses. To attain its purpose, the study focuses its investigation into the stage where writing strategies are most likely to be used and the types of writing strategies being employed by students. Questionnaires modified from Petrić & Czárl (2003) were distributed to 125 freshmen to obtain the data which constitute the types of writing strategies being used, their frequency of use, and the stages of writing within which they were used. Descriptive quantitative analysis was performed afterwards to the collected data. Results show that most freshman are medium users of the strategies, with While Writing as the stage within which students tend to use writing strategies, followed by Pre-writing and Revising Writing. This result implies that the development of learning instruction for academic writing needs to accommodate the development of writing strategies used in three stages of writing, particularly during the Pre-writing and Revising Writing. Further research is also required with different data collection method and instruments to allow for generalization to wider audience which is not possible with the current research, given its limited use of instrument and participants involved.

Abstract

Despite the importance of public speaking skills, unfortunately, research about public speaking classes mainly focuses on the attempt to minimize the students’ anxiety and discomposure. Whereas other crucial issues need to be investigated such as the quality of learning materials in public speaking classes having poor quality and students’ difficulty in speaking naturally. This research aimed to investigate the usage of movies in enhancing students’ ability to deliver speeches. The participants of this study are 67 students majoring in English Language and Literature consisting of 46 females and 21 males. All participants were taking the listening-speaking class and public speaking class. This study adopts the mixed-method approach. Firstly, to see the progress of students’ public speaking skills, we conducted a pre-test and post-test which were analyzed based on a scoring rubric proposed by Joe et al. In addition, questionnaires were distributed to understand participants’ perceptions after learning about public speaking through movies. Lastly, a semi-structured interview was done to enrich the discussion. The results showed that movie clips are effective in increasing students’ interest in following an online class because the lesson felt contextual. The participants’ public speaking skills also improved as students can apply the strategies to attract audiences.

Abstract

Reading interest is one aspect of encouraging the reading comprehension process. However, the level of reading interest in Indonesia is still low. In this situation, as an academic component, undergraduate-students also have an obligation to read. This is driven by the academic life of lectures which require students to have reading comprehension skills. Because of these two circumstances, the reason for this study was to investigatethe correlation of students' reading interest and reading comprehension in higher education levels. This study was conducted through a quantitative approach and correlation study as the method. The population of this research is about 140 students of EFL semester four who are active in the English language education study program of Universitas Brawijaya. By using a simple random sampling technique, there were 41 students from the 4th semester involved as participants in this research. This study was conducted by distributing questionnaires to students who were respondents and reading comprehension tests, after which they were input and analyzed through the SPSS program. The finding of this study showed that the significant value was .022 smaller than 0.05 (.022 < 0.05) which means that there was a correlation between interest and reading comprehension, with a Pearson product moment (r-value) of .356, which indicates a weak positive correlation. Therefore, it can be concluded that the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. It means that there is a significant correlation between reading interest and reading comprehension.

Abstract

The sociocultural perspective maintains the view of understanding literacy as a social and cultural practice to describe reading and writing in multiple and evolving language activities. It means that literacy development is related to actions and beliefs which a student creates to define him or herself in particular cultural settings or circumstances. These circumstances further describe what resourceful individuals like teachers would offer or create in terms of language tasks or events to help students be identified as readers and writers. This qualitative study aimed at gaining deeper insights into teachers’ pedagogical practices to support functional literacy through mother tongue languages. Based on in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and classroom observations, this phenomenological study examined literacy instructional practices which offer a pedagogically grounded and positive learning environment where teachers use mother tongue as a medium of instruction to support learners’ early literacy acquisition processes. Thus, the study provides substantial findings which depict the role of children’s previous language experiences and teachers’ constructive classroom engagements as a basis for functional literacy development.

Abstract

Current studies provide compelling evidence that project-based learning (PBL) is an effective method for the students. Considering the empirical findings, PBL is highly endorsed in many EFL contexts. However, with the major shift to online learning due the pandemic, little is known about the possibility of PBL implementation within this new context. This current case study attempts to portray the PBL implementation within the online context and how the students perceive the implementation. The study was carried out in an English Education Department involving 36 seventh-grade preservice teachers (PTs). The data were collected through classroom observations, online questionnaires, and in-depth semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using the interactive model and the results of the analysis show the stages of PBL can be implemented in the similar way to that in the offline setting. However, the technological use in the online setting differs in terms of the amount of its usage frequency. The study also revealed that the students consider the implementation of PBL in online setting as challenging yet motivating. The findings imply that the changes of teaching and learning setting do not affect the durability of the PBL. It means that with a little tweak, mainly in terms of technological usage, grouping and group communication, PBL might be successfully implemented in the online setting.

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether the CLT method improves students' English vocabulary mastery before and after learning using the CLT method. This is a quantitative study with a pre-experimental design. In this research design, the researcher only uses one class as an experimental class which was given treatment in the form of vocabulary learning using the CLT method. However, before the treatment was given, students would be given a test in the form of a pre-test and post-test that aimed to see the effect of the CLT method in improving students' vocabulary skills. The data from the test was collected and then the data was analyzed through descriptive statistics. The population used was all students of SMP Negeri 50 Halmahera Selatan and all were selected as samples in this study. The instrument used to collect quantitative data in this study was a vocabulary test. This test is in the form of multiple choice consisting of 30 question items. Tests distributed before and after the treatment were given as pre-test and post-test. In addition to comparing the significance value (Sig.) with a probability of 0.05, the authors also compared the t-count value with the t-table to test the hypothesis that had been made previously. The t count based on the result of paired sample test is 38,076 and the t table based on the value of df (34) is 2,042. This shows that the value of t arithmetic (37.769) > t table (2.042) it can be concluded that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. In other words, there is an average difference between the learning outcomes of the pre-test and post-test, which means the CLT method improves the students’ English vocabulary at SMP Negeri 50 Halmahera Selatan.

Abstract

Language learners have come to an era in which studying outside the classroom is well-facilitated by technology development. Along with this advancement, there is a wider chance to learn things outside the classroom, including language. In the Indonesian context, many students have done wider exploration to improve their English exposure through various activities. This study aims to reveal the learning strategies done by a successful EFL learner through case study research. The result shows that online games, e-books, and movies are some of the prominent learning tools of  Language Learning Beyond the Classroom (LLBC) to enhance language exposure and learners’ autonomy.
