Abstract

The CBL offer dynamic and engaging learning experiences that cater to diverse learning styles and preferences. By working collaboratively in groups, students not only enhance their language skills but also develop essential communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. Therefore, this study is aimed at investigating the efficacy of case-based learning model integrated with critical thinking skills to improve EFL learners’ reading comprehension. This study is designed in a classroom action research. 27 EFL learners are involved in this study. The research participants are selected in purposive random sampling. To collect the research data, the observation sheets, reading tests, and critical thinking tests are applied as the research instruments. The data consisted of qualitative and quantitative one. Qualitative data are analyzed qualitatively while the quantitative data are counted in statistical analysis. Based on the results, the findings show that the case-based learning model integrated with critical thinking skills is effective to improve EFL learners’ reading comprehension. The improvement lies on learners’ vocabulary mastery, grammar knowledge, comprehension, reading strategies, and fluency. For further studies, researchers can include metacognitive strategies and measure learners’ linguistic awareness in learning language skills.

Abstract

A community of inquiry can help students increase engagement that supports English language acquisition. The community- inquiry provides students not only with cognitive but also social intelligence. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the perceptions of sophomores' verbal and written feedbacks on freshmen’s writing. This small-scale study examined 25 students attending an Intensive English Course in the English Literature Department at Universitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. It involved sophomores providing verbal and written feedbacks on freshmen's writing, reflecting the implementation of a community of inquiry. The study employed a case study method, using three types of questionnaires to gather students' opinions on sophomores' written feedbacks, their perceptions of the verbal feedbacks, and their descriptive writing competence following the feedback process. The study revealed that both the sophomores' verbal and written feedbacks were beneficial for improving the freshmen's writing skills. Furthermore, the process of receiving feedbacks also appeared to enhance the students' confidence in their writing.Verbal and written feedback from the sophomores not only clarifies the aspects for the improvement of the composition but also improves the freshmen’s self-confidence to write better. The feedbacks are effective since the students are of the same age, the freshmen can relate better, and the feedback they receive matches their style. However, this type of mentorship also has drawbacks because the sophomores’ knowledge is limited, so the input they can provide is also limited.  Therefore, it is suggested that English lecturers take advantage of sophomores' verbal and written feedbacks to assist freshmen in developing their writing skills.

Abstract

This research addresses the need to enhance critical thinking skills in junior high school students through effective instructional design, particularly in the context of learning news texts. The study is based on the premise that problem-based learning (PBL) can significantly improve students' critical thinking by engaging them in real-world problem-solving scenarios. Given the growing emphasis on critical thinking as a core educational objective, it is essential to develop instructional models that not only teach content but also foster higher-order thinking skills. The primary aim of this research is to design an instructional model for teaching news texts in junior high school and to assess its validity and effectiveness. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach, utilizing the ADDIE model, which involves five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Following the development of the instructional design, it underwent validation by both learning experts and practitioners. The validation process yielded high scores, with learning experts rating it at 95.83% and practitioners at 88.89%, resulting in an overall average validity score of 92.36%, categorizing the design as highly valid. In practice, the problem-based learning model was implemented in classrooms, and its impact on students' learning outcomes was evaluated. The students achieved an average learning score of 86%, indicating the instructional design's effectiveness in delivering content. Furthermore, the assessment of students' critical thinking skills showed an average score of 79%, placing it in the "good" category. These findings suggest that the PBL-based instructional design is effective in not only teaching news texts but also in enhancing students' critical thinking skills, making it a valuable approach for junior high school education.

Abstract

The schwa sound [ə] in the English language remains challenging and  it appears to be overlooked by EFL learners. In practice, the word ‘submit’ is mispronounced by English learners: */sʌbˈmɪt/, instead of /səbˈmɪt/. Some studies have discussed schwa but their data sources were not the Holy Quran.  Hence, this article investigated the schwa sound in English vocabulary items collected from the Holy Quran and represented by the letters 'o' and 'u' as in ‘polite’ and ‘submit’. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the researchers collected 97 vocabulary items containing schwa sounds taken from surah Al-Baqarah verses 1-286. The results indicate that the schwa term that represents the unstressed syllable can be renewed with the terms proposed in this study such as 'astressed' and 'disaccented'. In addition, to maintain the schwa term, a change of its pronunciation is proposed becoming /ʃwə/ and not /ʃwɑː/. Most of the written vowels 'o' and 'u' are pronounced in a strong form, and unstressed vowels 'o' and 'u' are pronounced as a schwa. The appearance of unstressed schwa in the vowels 'o' and 'u' is not determined by its location whether it is in the first or second syllable. Schwa could appear anywhere as long as he was not stressed. Schwa was not found in stressed syllables. Lastly, all -ion [ən] and -ous [əs] suffixes must be pronounced with a schwa. The results imply that EFL learners ought to consult an excellent dictionary to ensure correct pronunciation. Future researchers are expected to examine further patterns of a schwa sound in English vocabulary items to assist EFL learners in improving their pronunciation.

Abstract

Transnational families in Indonesia currently still have many difficulties in developing and creating an ideology of language use that they implement in their families, with a variety of languages to maintain their family's ethnic identity. This research explores three research questions, as follows. (1) How did parents perceive the roles of various languages in shaping their children's future? (2) What languages were used in the family? This research finds the choice of language use within the context of Indonesian transnational families with different ethnic backgrounds. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design (Yin, 2014), this study employs 2 participants, a woman, and her mother, both of them are scholarship awardees, who negotiate language ideologies, practices, and policies within their families among linguistic diversity and transnational mobility. Through thematic analysis (Saldana, 2012) of data collection from semi-structured interviews and observation, revealed several initial, open, and axial codes. This finding of this research reveals 1). The differences ideology between two generation. 2). The family's efforts to balance maintaining English and Bahasa Indonesia language. The implication of this study is made for the language policy maker and other transnational parent.  In conclusion, this study highlights the complexities of language use in transnational families and demonstrates that these families face challenges and opportunities in creating an environment that supports language learning.

Abstract

The environment is the main source of learning. The ability of students to understand the descriptive texts and writing these is still low. The use of teaching materials in learning is less close to student life. The availability of learning resources is still limited. Students can read but have not been able to understand the content of the material. This study aims to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of flipbook teaching materials based on local wisdom in improving learning outcomes by analyzing the description text of grade V elementary school students. The method in this study uses the type of Research and Development (R&D) research with the Borg and Gall development model. Product validity tests are carried out with material expert validators and media expert validators.  The results of this study showed that the results of the media feasibility test obtained were 93.75% with a very feasible predicate and the feasibility test results from material experts were 93.75% with a very feasible predicate. The results of large-scale usage trials showed an increase from pretest to posttest with an average N-Gain of 0.4 and significance (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05. Flipbook teaching materials display designs and materials conceptualized according to the local wisdom of the Tegal Regency. The conclusion of the results of this study shows that flipbook teaching materials based on local wisdom are declared feasible and effective in improving learning outcomes by analyzing the decriptive texts.

Abstract

Actional competence refers to the ability to respond and understand communication processes effectively, both in oral and nonverbal communication. It involves the capacity to use language purposefully through vocabulary, words, and utterances, aligning with the 6 C’s of education, which emphasize critical skills like communication, collaboration, and creativity. This study investigates the actional competence demonstrated by students in presentation skills within an EFL classroom. Using a qualitative approach, specifically a case study design, the research aimed to identify the extent to which students applied actional competence during their presentations. The study was conducted with 18 students from a private school in Yogyakarta, which was in the process of transitioning from the 2013 curriculum (K13) to the new Merdeka curriculum. The data collection instruments included observation checklists, interview guidelines, and audio recordings to capture and analyze students’ presentations. The research identified seven key models of actional competence used by the students during their presentations. These models include Information Exchange, Interpersonal Exchange, Expressing Opinion, Expressing Feeling, Suasion, Problem-solving, and Future Scenario. The findings suggest that Information Exchange was the most frequently used competence, indicating that students were highly focused on providing and receiving information during their presentations. The conclusion shows that the actional competence is a critical component of successful presentation skills, especially in an academic context. The study recommends that students and presenters be encouraged to actively develop and apply actional competence in communicative language practices to enhance their performance and overcome challenges in EFL presentations. This approach can lead to more effective and engaging presentations, promoting better learning outcomes in the classroom.

Abstract

Indonesian has become the official language of the UN. Many BIPA students want to learn Indonesian online. However, online learning creates obstacles such as time differences between teachers and BIPA students, internet connections, and providing less than optimal feedback. This research aims to develop m-learning with automatic feedback for BIPA level 2 learners. This research uses a 4D development model: define, design, develop and deploy. This study's instrument is  a questionnaire distributed to 2 validators and 18 BIPA learners. The results of this study are m-learning products that minimize internet connections; once installed, students only need to be connected to the internet when working on questions. In addition, m-learning is also equipped with automatic feedback that appears immediately after students answer questions. The results of the product trial show that students can use m-learning to learn anytime and anywhere, including in areas with minimal internet access. Automatic feedback in m-learning also helps students learn independently because they do not need to wait for feedback from teachers. The automatic feedback in M-learning is only for listening and reading questions while speaking and writing questions are still in the form of answer keywords or assessment rubrics that the teacher must correct. Based on expert validation and product trials with an average score of 88.8, we conclude that the development of m-learning is suitable for BIPA level 2 students.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the contribution of women as digital literacy activists and the form of community activities. This research is a phenomenological research, which describes the phenomena that occur with a qualitative approach, descriptive analysis and data collection techniques of interviews, literature studies and documentation. The results of the study were obtained in the form of motivation, contribution and activity of women in digital literacy. Women's motivation is due to an internal drive in the form of self-actualization, values, awareness and empathy. The external impetus is due to the phenomenon of low interest in reading, the influence of social media and the urgency of community education. The form of contribution is in the form of commitment, time, material, ideas and innovation. Forms of digital literacy activities such as reading, writing, discussing and appreciating literary works with a series of activities arranged and agreed upon together and guided by contributors or collaborating with other parties. The implication of the results of this study is that it can be used as a consideration for stakeholders to give appreciation in the form of awards to women digital literacy activists. Providing legal assistance for the legality of digital literary literacy communities, as well as funds for activities and the creation of literary works. Another thing is as a basis for follow-up to hold certified and nationally recognized training or seminars.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of the Language of Learning and Teaching (LoLT) on the academic success of Xitsonga-speaking Grade 10 students in rural History classrooms in four Mopani district's quintile 1 schools in Limpopo Province. Quintile 1 schools are those considered by the government of South Africa as being in poor communities that cannot afford to pay for their children's education.  Utilising a mixed methods approach, the investigation involved four classroom observations, 4 teacher interviews, and four focus group discussions with learners alongside the Solomon Four quasi-experiment for quantitative data collection using the four classrooms. The classes were used as intact groups of n=20, with a total of 80 learners. The results indicate a negative correlation between the learners' academic performance and their proficiency in LoLT. Furthermore, this study reveals that a disconnect between the learners' first language used at home and the English language of instruction contributes to educational challenges. It was observed that when teachers employed the learners' first language, the educational outcomes improved significantly, underscoring the effectiveness of using learners' native language in the learning process. The study suggests that integrating translanguaging into the multilingual educational system can align with linguistic realities and foster superior academic results. The findings advocate for education stakeholders to recognise and utilise translanguaging to make the curriculum more accessible and engaging, thus improving academic achievements in Xitsonga-dominant classrooms.
