Abstract

Beauty standard ideology or belief which is traditionally popularized by and through makeup products advertisement for women is not only influencing women across the globe but is now normalized in male products advertisements as well which convinces them to buy the product and which also has an impact on men’s belief of what an ideal masculine man is supposed to be. This study aims to find the “real man” standard ideology in male product advertisements. Moreover, the critical discourse analysis three-dimensional framework by Fairclough is applied in this research to show the “real man” ideology that is presented in male product advertisements especially the ones on social media where the latest ads can be found. Furthermore, we use descriptive qualitative research in analyzing and explaining 6 male products with a variety of types and brands. Data collection was carried out with structured interviews and advertisement observations. The findings of this study indicate that male product is very important to meet the main needs in overcoming problems in men. In addition, the main factor that is the reason for men to use male products is the demands of work or self-care, which is a representation of one's identity. According to the findings of this study, advertised men's products contain linguistic features that create ideology and manipulation for men, causing them to be interested in purchasing and using these products. Furthermore, men use these products because of stereotypes and public criteria for the appearance of a manly man.

Abstract

This research aimed to test whether or not teacher-made vocabulary exercises in Instagram stories have a significant positive effect on students’ vocabulary achievement. Therefore, a quasi-experimental research design was applied. The researcher conducted this study during the Ramadhan period with 48 students as the sample participants. They were divided into two groups, experimental and control groups. The researcher taught each group in about two meetings, and most of the time was dedicated to the students to learn vocabulary. They learned vocabulary by doing an exercise provided by the researcher. However, one thing that made them different was the treatment. In learning vocabulary, teacher-made Instagram stories were used as the treatment for the experimental group, while the control group only used the regular tests. After that, all groups did a post-test in the form of multiple-choice. Based on the post-test result, the experimental group gained a mean score of 61.25 and 76.87 for the control group. Then, the researcher used SPSS to analyze the data by employing an independent sample t-test to make a valid conclusion. The result showed that the value of Sig. 2-tailed was lower than 0.05 (0.001<0.05), indicating a significant difference in mean score between the experimental and control group. However, the t value was negative (-3.476). It means that there is no significant positive effect of using teacher-made vocabulary exercises in Instagram stories on students’ vocabulary achievement.

Abstract

The national examination was replaced with a national assessment because it was only focused on memorizing skills and assessed only the cognitive aspect. There is a need for research on how teachers perceive the minimum competency assessment, especially literacy competence that this research was conducted. As a result, this study is keen to gauge how junior high school students perceive English teachers in general. There are 3 components called the CAC model (cognitive-affective-conative) that influences a person's behavior so that it is also related to one's perception. The data processing technique in this study consisted of 3 stages, namely editing, coding and tabulating. The first stage was carried out to check the data obtained from the answers to the questionnaires that have been collected. Then, coding stage was carried out to code the respondents' answers in the form of giving numbers or other signs. Lastly, tabulation stage was carried out by compiling and calculating the coding results by giving a score and then presenting it in tabular form. The findings showed the perception of the English teachers about literacy assessment based on a minimum competency assessment in terms of cognitive aspects was fairly good, on the affective aspects was fairly good while on the conative aspects was good. Accordingly, researches on minimum competency assessment needs to be examined further that afford teachers’ comprehension in implementing minimum competency assessment.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the position of supplementary English programs in senior high schools in Indonesia and the use of literature and linguistics in the program. This research employed a mixed method using a survey with a semi-structured questionnaire. Twenty-seven English teachers of senior high schools in East Java were invited through the social media WhatsApp Group to fill in the Google Form. It was found that not many supplementary English programs are run in senior high schools in East Java. The small number of students in the language programs also shows that few students choose supplementary English programs over other programs. Moreover, teachers employed various literature genres, linguistics, and sociolinguistics during classroom activities. The teachers of supplementary English programs in Indonesia also introduced students to intercultural communicative competence. It can be concluded that even though the supplementary English programs in senior high schools in East Java are small in number, their implementation is thriving and promising for ELT in the future.

Abstract

Reflective skill is a component of 21st century learning and one of the main keys to become a professional teacher. However, pre-service teachers often have difficulty in reflecting their teaching and learning. Thus, this study aims to describe the reflective thinking abilities of pre-service English teachers in implementing their teaching practice. This research was a qualitative descriptive study. The research subjects in this study were 12 pre-service English teachers. The instruments used were observation of documents and interviews. The results indicate that pre-service English teachers tend to practice four reflective thinking skills that are reflection as retrospective analysis (ability to self-assess), reflection as a problem-solving process (awareness of how one learns), critical self-reflection (developing continuous self-improvement), and reflection on self-confidence. The most dominant reflective skill practiced is reflection as a problem-solving process. Meanwhile, testing internal consistency on problem solution become a difficult aspect to be fulfilled by the pre-service teachers. In brief, it is recommended that pre-service teachers should have more opportunity to practice their reflective thinking skills during the teaching and learning process in order to produce professional graduates who have high competitiveness and ability to face the challenges in the world of education.
