Abstract

There are numerous languages available around the world. The Indonesian language and English are just two of the many languages spoken around the globe. Aside from that, there are numerous regional languages spoken on Indonesia's various islands. As a result, Indonesians tend to move from Indonesian to their regional language (mother tongue). Furthermore, Jakartan youths frequently transfer from Indonesian to English and vice versa. The goal of this paper is to look into the code-switching that occurs among Jakartan youths. Many people transition their language from their mother tongue to their second language unknowingly. Similarly, some Jakartan teens discovered that their first language (Indonesian) was being replaced by their second language (English). This study was part of a qualitative research project that used a case study approach. To collect the necessary data, this study used observations and interviews as tools. When having a conversation with someone, the participants engage code-switching, according to the findings of this study. This is because speaking makes them feel more at ease and confident. When a person is fluent in more than one language, this is referred to as bilingualism or multilingualism.

Abstract

The teaching and learning of language has, for many years, been centered on the four language competencies- listening, speaking, reading and writing. However, in modern times, the need to train students with critical, analytical, evaluative, creative, and problem-solving skills in order to meet and deal with the complex nature of modern-day challenges and real-life issues has made the teaching and learning of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) indispensable. This study, therefore, investigates the attitude of language tutors towards the teaching of HOTS. This study has a descriptive qualitative approach. 39 English language tutors from the Colleges of Education who voluntarily availed themselves as participants were recruited for the study. Using semi-structured interviews and classroom observation as data collection instruments, the data were subjected to a thematic analysis. It is revealed that teachers perceive HOTS to be a good concept and hence use strategies such as asking open-ended questions, engaging learners in group works, classroom discussions, lecturing method, asking learners to produce and/or create their own materials and the giving of constructive feedback to implement it. Regardless of all their efforts, teachers face challenges such as incompetency, learner’s low proficiency, learner’s inability to grasp concepts, insufficient and irrelevant teaching materials, time, and financial constraints. The study, therefore, recommends that HOTS be given some more attention in language teaching in Ghana.
