Abstract

Integrating digital literacy into the teaching and learning process in ELT (English Language Teaching) classes has become a significant challenge for teachers in the 21st century. Digital literacy has evolved beyond being a mere technical skill; it has fundamentally transformed the way learners approach their education. In response to this shift, many English learners, including secondary school students, now rely heavily on advanced utilities and web-based tools to create and share meaning. This paradigm shift has not only influenced the curriculum for English students at SMA IT Abhur Mataram but has also been guided by the global Digital literacy competency framework set forth by UNESCO. The approach taken in this study employs a graphical representation to subjectively depict the advanced levels of English language learning. It identifies seven key areas of higher education skills that play a crucial role in English learning at Abhu Mataram High School. These areas encompass proficiency in equipment and software, mastery of data and information, effective communication and collaboration, content generation using computers, ensuring online security, problem-solving abilities, and career-related skills. In summary, the digital literacy standards established by UNESCO for the broader digital society can be effectively applied within the context of English language learning. These seven areas of computer skills, which are integral to the learning process at Abhur Islamic School Mataram, are systematically integrated into preparatory, intermediate, and concluding exercises, ensuring a comprehensive and up-to-date approach to English education in the digital age.

Abstract

The presence of a technology-based speech learning application namely English Language Speech Application (ELSA), an artificial intelligence (AI) may promote EFL students' speaking performance because of its great features. This research attempts to examine EFL students' speaking performance by using the ELSA speak application, further explore their perceptions of using it, and find out the inhibiting factors influencing low performance in their speaking. A mixed-method research design was applied to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data. 21 EFL students (5 Males and 16 Females) from Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta were involved in the data gathering process which was collected by using a test, questionnaire, and semi-structured interview. Furthermore, pre-test and post-test were conducted to examine their speaking ability, and a questionnaire using a 4-point Likert scale. In addition, a semi-structured interview was conducted to further explore the inhibiting factors of their low speaking performance. The findings revealed that students' speaking ability has significantly improved after using the ELSA application. It can be known the mean score of pre-test results was 75, meanwhile, the post-test score was 88. There was a 17% improvement after using the ELSA application. Furthermore, of 20 respondents, 18 (90%) of respondents feel confident in speaking English by using the ELSA Speak application. Only 2 (10%) of the respondents disagree and none strongly disagree about the statement. Of 20 respondents, 16 or 80% of respondents have positive perceptions that using ELSA may increase their speaking performance. Moreover, of 20 respondents, 19 or 95% of respondents perceived ELSA to be a great speech application that could boost their motivation to improve their speaking performance. 18 or 90% of respondents perceived that this application has a good quality learning design. Meanwhile, internal and external factors were identified as the inhibiting factors influencing their low speaking performance.

Abstract

The pandemic has had a significant impact on education. Students' academic self-confidence has likely been affected as well. The transition to current onsite learning may have contributed to feelings of anxiety and decreased their self-confidence. This study aimed to measure student’s academic self-confidence and its impact on their English learning process. It was a descriptive research design with quantitative questionnaires distributed to 100 male and female students of Islamic broadcasting communication study program of IAIN Kediri. The result revealed that few students had low academic self-confidence when they had to argue in English with their classmates. Most students had high academic self-confidence to carry out other activities in the class and outside the class in finding English learning goals. Furthermore, students’ academic self-confidence highly affects their autonomous learning so that makes students able to work and learn English independently by using computers and the internet. It makes learning English more enjoyable for them as well. In addition, most of the students agreed that their self-confidence caused them to make regular plans to review English lessons, actively participate in English learning, ask English-related questions to classmates and lecturers, to share ideas and opinions in English group discussions, and also do English presentations well. The results of this study can be a consideration for English teachers to pay more attention to students who still have low confidence by applying teaching strategies that increase students' self-confidence.

Abstract

Field trips have long been recognized as a significant component of educational endeavours. While students at the primary and secondary levels commonly engage in such activities, the integration of field trips into tertiary education remains infrequent. University studend who attend the English classes are seldom afforded the opportunity to directly observe authentic professional environments or explore potential workplaces related to their future careers, experiences that can be facilitated through field trips. Additionally, given the increasing emphasis on the internship program held by Indonesian Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, a gap arises as students are limited in their exposure to real-world work environments. The objective of this research endeavour was to investigate university students' perceptions of field trip activities and assess how these experiences contribute to the development of students' autonomous learning skills. Qualitative data for this study were collected through two questionnaires, a preparation and a reflection Google sheet. The participants consisted of 27 students enrolled in the International Relations Study Program at UPN Veteran Jakarta. The findings of the study revealed that field trips offer numerous benefits to English for Professional Purposes students, including enhancing their understanding of academic concepts, providing a deeper real-world context for learning, and fostering social interaction. The questionnaire results demonstrated a predominantly positive perception among the students. Furthermore, a majority of the participants reported engaging in autonomous learning activities during the field trip, facilitated by the opportunity to interact with industry professionals and seek their guidance through questioning.

Abstract

The ability of students to edit scientific papers is still low, especially in mastering the use of hedge (fencing devices) and boosters (strengthening devices). Hedges and boosters are forms of expression of the author's attitude towards propositional content through epistemic modalities. This study aims to describe hedges and boosters in student scientific articles within the framework of a pragmatic metadiscourse. A qualitative descriptive approach was used in this study. The data used is in the form of editing words, sentences, and paragraphs in scientific articles editing courses. The source of this research data is a scientific article by PGRI Adi Buana University Surabaya students in 2022. Data collection techniques use documentation techniques and recording techniques. Data analysis techniques to identify hedges and word lists of boosters using the AntConc application built by Lawrence Anthony. Data that has been obtained from the AntConc application found the frequency of hedges and boosters in scientific articles. The results of this study showed that the use of modal verb hedges in the first position was 214 frequencies, followed by 59 adverbs of hedges, and verb hedges were 3 frequencies, while the use of booster in the first position was 202 frequencies, followed by adverbs booster of 63 frequencies, and booster verbs of 6 frequencies. This study shows that students ability to tendency to (1) use epistemic modalities in modal verbs, (2) tend to use more capital verbs that mean certainty and possibility, and (3) tend to use adverbs to mean epistemic modalities.
