Abstract

The importance of observation report text writing skills among vocational students cannot be underestimated, as it is a basic competency that supports the development of their academic literacy. However, at SMK Negeri 2 Pekanbaru, several obstacles were found such as low student motivation and lack of time for effective learning, which hindered the mastery of observation report text writing skills. This study aims to explore the effect of ChatGPT-based Constructivist Learning model in improving observation report text writing skills. Using mixed methods with sequential explanatory design, this study involved 68 students who were divided into experimental and control groups. The results showed that the ChatGPT-based Constructivist Learning model significantly improved the skill of writing observation report text compared to the conventional method. Qualitative data analysis also supported the quantitative findings that students and teachers faced challenges in digital literacy such as difficulties in understanding the user interface or how to interpret the feedback provided. However, this technology has great potential to improve writing skills if implemented well. This study concludes that the integration of ChatGPT-based Constructivist Learning model in learning can improve observation report text writing skills, although habituation in utilizing digital literacy is needed so that it can be implemented effectively and continuously.

Abstract

This research aimed to detect students' ability to write narrative text using local legendary picture series and further explore their perceptions of using picture series in writing narratives. A descriptive quantitative research design was employed, and 30 students (10 males and 20 females) participated as respondents in the present study. Furthermore, the students were asked to write a narrative text based on a series of pictures from the local legend of Danau Toba. The findings indicated that picture series significantly enhanced students' narrative writing skills. The average scores revealed that the organization, vocabulary, and grammar were 3.19, 3.43, and 2.92 respectively, categorized into the "Good" level. Meanwhile, the average score for mechanical ability was 2.46, categorized as "Enough". Furthermore, the majority of students viewed positively to the use of picture series, with 46.67% strongly agreeing and 46.67% agreeing that picture series enhanced their ability to absorb and retain information. Thus, the picture series used are effective media for learning narrative writing skills. This study may serve pedagogical implication to the teaching of writing skills. Therefore, the researchers recommend that teachers integrate picture series in their teaching strategies and next researchers could explore the use of picture series in other text types and across various English language skills to provide broader insights and potentially more robust pedagogical strategies.

Abstract

Writing skills are crucial to basic language skills. However, observations in the field indicate that students' descriptive text writing skills are still low, especially in the aspect of content or ideas. This limitation makes it difficult for students to develop ideas, so the text does not provide enough information and description of the object.  With this problem, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the virtual media field trip to Borobudur Temple, assisted by songs, in stimulating descriptive text writing skills. This quantitative research uses a quasi-experimental method and a nonequivalent (pretest-posttest) control group design. The research sample consisted of 52 students, with IV A as the experimental class and IV B as the control class, with each class totalling 26 students. The sampling technique used nonprobability sampling with saturated sampling. In the experimental class, special treatment was given, a virtual field trip to Borobudur Temple with the help of songs. In contrast, the control class only used conventional media such as pictures. Research data was collected using test techniques pretest and posttest. Then, the data analysis techniques using independent sample t-test, with the results in Sig. (2-tailed) 0.00<0,05 showing a significant influence of the virtual field trip media at Borobudur Temple assisted by songs on descriptive text-writing skills. This learning media is effective for stimulating descriptive text writing skills because it can inspire students to develop ideas based on virtual field trips and increase vocabulary through song lyrics to be translated into descriptive text.

Abstract

Despite the mandatory inclusion of English in higher education, the limited credit hours and students’ varying proficiency levels pose challenges to achieving English language teaching goals. CSR offers a structured approach to enhance reading comprehension through its four stages. While numerous studies have explored CSR’s effectiveness, its application in higher education remains under-researched, particularly for TOEFL preparation. This qualitative study involved three female instructors of a TOEFL preparation course in an Islamic state university which were chosen by convenience sampling. It employs in-depth interviews to examine their beliefs in teaching using CSR for non-English major students in a TOEFL preparation course. The data were analyzed thematically by using deductive coding. The findings revealed that instructors consciously believe in the benefits of CSR for TOEFL preparation. Their beliefs are largely relevant to the theory of CSR, with collaborative learning as a core value and combined with personalized learning to create a positive learning environment that supports students' reading comprehension and readiness for TOEFL preparation. The result of this can inform instructional strategies and enhance students' reading comprehension abilities for standardized testing and other assessments, particularly in higher education contexts. Future research may continue to explore the nuances of CSR implementation within a larger scope and more diverse sample to enhance generalizability, or incorporate a mixed-method approach to provide a more holistic view of CSR among educators and students.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the tendency of netizens to convey psychological attitudes on social media. The delivery of these psychological attitudes sometimes needs attention to language politeness. This research is necessary because it answers the challenge of understanding how politeness of language changes in the context of social media supported by digital technology, which is rarely discussed in conventional pragmatic studies. The problem in this study is how politeness of expressive speech acts from a cyber pragmatics perspective. This study explores and elaborates on the realization of politeness maxims politeness principles based on the perspective of cyber pragmatics. The approach used in this study is qualitative, and the content analysis method was applied. This study's data source is netizens' language activity on the comments page of the Instagram account @detikcom on June 9, 2023, totaling 2509 comments. The data in this study amounted to 511 data, which are expressive speech. The data collection techniques used are documentation techniques and reading techniques. The data analysis technique is carried out in three stages: identification, classification, and interpretation of research results. Regarding the principle of politeness, netizens' comments are considered impolite based on the maxim of tact, the maxim of approbation, and the maxim of agreement, which significantly impact online communication behavior. The reason is that netizens do not maximize their benefits, approbation, and conformity with other parties but instead express their psychological attitudes by throwing out insults, ridicule, and rejections that can cause harm to other parties. Meanwhile, netizens are considered polite for the maxim of modesty and sympathy. Most sympathy is directed at the Indonesian people who must bear the country's debt.
