Abstract

Pre-service teachers' expectation in order to successfully carry out the instructional process in the classroom is for them to create the most of their educational experiences by conveying their knowledge to the students. In this study, a case study was implemented, and it consisted of eleven future English teachers participating in a microteaching practicum that was led by two senior lecturers. The whole parties were aware of the purpose of the investigation that was being conducted. Based on the findings, pre-service teachers are almost unanimously of the opinion that one of the most significant aspects of the process of teaching and learning English is the contact that occurs in English between the teacher and the students. When teachers communicate in English with their students, those students are more likely to make an effort to communicate in English on their own. Therefore, English teachers should consistently encourage their pupils to use English throughout the entirety of the teaching and learning process with their classes.

Abstract

The research entitled The Deconstruction of Horror Film Formula in Midsommar by Ari Aster aims to figure out the deconstruction of the horror film formula in Midsommar in contrast to horror film formula in general by Brigid Cherry. The researcher used a qualitative method to analyze the data. The primary data are taken from Ari Aster's movie, Midsommar, in the form of cinematic codes such as setting, lighting, sound, and color. In addition, the researcher also used deconstruction theory in literature and cultural elements such as Scandinavian culture to analyze the deconstruction of horror film formulas in Midsommar film. The researcher found four binary oppositions of the horror film formula in Midsommar. The first one is the deconstruction of setting where Midsommar changes the common horror film formula setting of terrifying into peaceful. The second one is the deconstruction of lighting as Midsommar uses bright lighting instead of the common dark one. The third one is the deconstruction of sound as Midsommar uses dramatic sound instead of the common creepy one. Lastly, the deconstruction of color in Midsommar as it uses various colors instead of monotone ones that are commonly used in the horror film. This research illustrated the deconstruction of the horror film formula in the movie Midsommar from Brigid Cherry's common original formula by reversing the non-dominant elements into becoming the dominant elements.

Abstract

Nadiem Makarim founded the kampus mengajar program in 2021, which entails students from various study programs going straight to schools in 3T location. This study aimed to explore students experiences through kampus mengajar program in conducting teaching literacy and numeracy in the 2021/2022 academic year. Five students from the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education at Universitas Muhammadiyah Cirebon participated in this qualitative research study using a narrative inquiry design as its methodology. The narrative frame and interview findings were utilized as the source of the data in this study to examine how students experienced teaching literacy and numeracy while actively participating in the kampus mengajar program as well as the difficulties they encountered. The stages of this narrative research included identifying the phenomena to be studied, deciding participants who would allow researcher to study the phenomena, gathering information (experiences) from participants, retelling information (experiences) from participants, and writing narratives based on information (experiences) from participants. The results revealed that teachers at the target schools greatly benefited from the Kampus Mengajar program's implementation. Nevertheless, aside from that students faced the challenges in teaching literacy and numeracy. The lack of student motivation, the amount of students who still struggle with reading and counting, the lack of learning materials that assist literacy and numeracy, and the restricted use of technology by teachers are a few of the factors.

Abstract

This study aims to reflect on the problems and challenges in teaching culture to English Young Learners (EYL) primarily related to the English context. The study focused on two objectives; to find out problems and challenges faced by the teacher in teaching culture for EYL, as well as the effective methods used to teach culture for EYL. Recently, many more pre-schools in Indonesia have offered English as a major in the learning process. For example, KB TK Hj Isriati Baiturrahman 2 made English as a central subject in daily life. Ideally, the teachers are required to know English culture besides the teaching itself. However, they found some problems in teaching culture when they asked the students to practice how to say, go to the toilet in English; it made students perspectives in their home opposites. This study tried to investigate this issue from the teachers problems. The interviews and classroom observations data showed that the cultural aspects of language were still not good. The possible strategies also showed a solution to face the problems. Thus, teaching English in Indonesia should consider the culture because to communicate functionally using the language and the students have to be familiar with the culture.
