Abstract

Despite the growing attention to EFL students"™ development of critical writing, research identifying their learning needs for this language skill remains more paucity of evidence. The present study aims to explore EFL teachers"™ perspectives on students"™ learning needs of critical writing course in university setting. Drawing on exploratory qualitative research, this study invites eight EFL teachers teaching critical writing course at some universities in Surakarta municipality, Indonesia. The required data are elicited using semi-structured interviews to reach in-depth understanding about the research issue. The findings yield a number of issues conveyed by the EFL teachers related to students"™ learning needs of critical writing. First, teaching critical writing plays a crucial role in shaping students"™ profile toward the twenty-first century skills. Second, a learning model of critical writing instruction, including the syllabus and plannings, learning technique and media, instructional materials, and assessment model, must be developed. As the pedagogical implication, ELT practitioners and policy makers can use this study"™s findings as references in taking policy related to teaching critical writing in university setting.

Abstract

To perceive the 21st  century and digital literacy issue,  Instagram  could be one of the solutions to engage learners"™ autonomy in the learning process, especially in speaking performances. However, few studies are concerned with the relationship between speaking performance and learner autonomy. Therefore, this current study intends to know the non-English major students"™ perceptions of the utilization of  Instagram as  digital literacy, their learning autonomy toward  Instagram, and their"™ speaking performances in utilizing  Instagram.  This research used a qualitative approach. The data were obtained through interviews and observations to gather richer and deeper information about the issues. Data were analyzed in three stages: reduction, display, and verification. The study results revealed that understanding the use of digital literacy was basic knowledge for students. It was because the students, as the users of those literacies, could be left behind in their daily activities. Moreover, students believed that blending digital literacy had positive impacts, including increased communication abilities, autonomy awareness, and readiness for future technology needs in the learning process and academic setting. The  Instagram  account was not just ordinary social media, it was not only an influential medium that carried engagement and interactivity among users but also covered interesting ways of serving as a powerful medium for self-expression. As a result,  for students, the utilization of  Instagram  achieved a benefit in enhancing their learners"™ autonomy in the aspects of learners"™ confidence and creativity.

Abstract

Motivation to write argumentative essays constitutes an integral contribution to support students in developing their writing skills. This affective trait needs to be studied as one of the influential supports for language learning. The research focuses on investigating the trend of students"™ level of motivation to write by describing the overall score and the kinds of motivation they employed. The design of the study was quantitative, using a questionnaire delivered to 20 participants. The findings showed that students"™ level of motivation was moderate. Overall, the range of motivation level 3.01 "“ 3.03. The findings indicate that students are motivated to write. The items in each of the components show that the students are willing to receive feedback from the instructors, put a lot of effort into revising their writing by employing strategies to produce better writing, and believe that writing skills are important for future careers. This implication suggests that although students show positive motivation to write, conscious encouragement to be aware of their motivation is needed when dedicating time to writing argumentative writing.

Extensive reading and reading comprehension have quite different reading goals. Extensive reading aims to make readers enjoy reading material and can choose reading materials according to the reader's level. Meanwhile, reading comprehension emphasizes students' level of understanding about the details of reading material. This research aims to look at the effect of extensive reading strategies on students' ability to answer reading comprehension questions. The method used in this research is experimental by using "One Group Pretest-Posttest Design". This design requires to conduct pre-test before implementing the treatment then followed by conducting post-test once it"™s done. The results of this study indicated that the extensive reading strategy applied to class A of Islamic Economics Study Program for 1 semester can significantly improve the quality of students' understanding in answering Reading Comprehension questions. This improvement can be seen from the results obtained in the pretest and post-test which have been conducted before and after treatment (Extensive Reading).
