Abstract

In the teaching and learning process, one of the roles and responsibilities of teachers is to assess the skills and what is taught to students. In the assessment activity, the teacher can get feedback on the extent to which students understand what the teacher teaches. Even though the learning is done virtually, the assessment still has to be done. This study investigates teachers’ perceptions of the types, benefits, and challenges of platforms used to assess young learners’ speaking performance. The research data was obtained by conducting interviews with respondents through Google Meet and adopted the interview questions by Mpungose (2020) about the online assessment platforms. The researcher determined the respondents by using a purposive sampling technique where respondents used an online platform in assessing young learners’ speaking performance during distance learning. After the data was collected, the researcher analyzed it using an interactive model by Miles et al. (2014). This study indicates that there are various platforms that teachers can use to assess young learners’ speaking performance, including Zoom, Google Meet, Google Classroom, WhatsApp, and YouTube. The five platforms were revealed to be very useful to make it easier for teachers to assess learners’ speaking performance. Teachers can easily assess aspects of their pronunciation, fluency, grammar, and vocabulary through these five platforms. Besides helping assess learners’ speaking performance, this study also shows various challenges in its implementation, such as connection problems, assignment submission, and poor video and audio quality.

Abstract

Changes in organizational culture within the scope of universities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are the focus of this study. Currently, there are 2 choices of work arrangement, namely: Work from Home (WFH), and working offline at the workplace. As such, changes in the values ​​adopted by members of the organization or in organizational culture are expected. This study focuses on the influence of organizational culture in universities on the performance of organizational members who are lecturers, teaching staff, and other elements. Each member of the organization has a different view and ways of responding to the reality of changing organizational culture during this COVID-19 pandemic. Differences in roles in the organization can be a factor in the differing opinion. A lecturer during the WFH period must carry out teaching and learning activities and conduct online meetings. While other staff who take care of administration are faced with different kinds of online work. Consequently, these staff from different roles may have a different view. This study aims at understanding how organizational culture in universities today can affect the performance of organizational members in the post-COVID-19 pandemic and other elements. The result shows that universities are organizations that have been heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.  It has transformed their culture from various directions, from academic activities, administrative, up to the social value order.

The analysis suggested that the obstacles experienced by Japanese Literature alumni from Minang ethnic diaspora in Japan when they first arrived in Japan were language and food. This is due to their lack of training in using Japanese when they were in college, and as ethnic Minangs, they cannot escape the taste of Minang cuisine. While related to the learning of Japanese language and culture, the material that has been given is felt quite helpful and quite used in, as well as the Japanese language that the diaspora uses, during living life in Japan, the Minang ethnic diaspora cannot be separated from consuming Indonesian cuisine or food, because this is also supported by the ease of obtaining Indonesian food and cuisine.  This study finding is expected to add insight into the life of the Indonesian diaspora in Japan and can be a reference for further research related to the Indonesian diaspora.

Abstract

Many aspects of life have to be reorganized as an impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The application of physical distancing for the world of education forced the learning activities to be conducted through online systems. In the beginning, online learning was a highly difficult challenge for most educators, because they were unfamiliar with online learning and some of them were doubtful about the effectiveness of online learning. Consequently, many teachers implemented whatever learning strategies they thought to be effective to improve students’ learning achievement. This study explored effective learning strategies used by educators in Indonesia during the new normal era of Covid-19. This study used a mixed-method research design, and the data were collected by using a questionnaire and interviews. 216 respondents participated in this study consisting of university lecturers and schoolteachers. The collected data were then critically analysed, and the findings were described descriptively. This study revealed that educators mostly used online learning, blended learning, project-based learning, and limited face-to-face learning to continually enhance students’ learning competence. This study implies that teachers should creatively develop the existing teaching strategies to suit students’ learning conditions.

Abstract

The study investigates the place of religion in the paradiplomacy that was practised in Nigeria’s first republic (1960-1966). It examines how the Northern regional government in Nigeria’s first republic engaged in external relations in furtherance of its narrow interests, which were mostly informed by Islam. During the first republic, Nigeria adopted a federal system of government in which the component units (or regions) wielded enormous influences. Some of these influences translated into external relations although foreign policy was constitutionally an exclusive preserve of the federal government. The practice of a regional government conducting its international relations while remaining within a sovereign nation falls under the ambit of ‘paradiplomacy’. Thus, this kind of subnational diplomacy is carried out with a view to promote subnational (or regional) interests. This raises the question of the compatibility of the interests of a subnational government with those of the national government, particularly in a country such as Nigeria that is multi-ethnic and multi-religious, with certain regions being predominantly Christian and others Muslim. The study adopts the theory of Social Constructivism as a framework and employs the use of qualitative analysis. The methodology is both historical and descriptive, with data derived from both primary and secondary sources. The primary sources employed include personal communications with retired diplomats as well as newspaper sources and archival materials sourced from the National Archives in Kaduna, Nigeria. Content analysis was also used to ensure accuracy and objectivity. Findings reveal that the government of the Northern Region pursued external policies that placed their region over and above the interest of the Federal Government to the extent of conflicts between the two entities, and religion was a telling factor in how this played out.

Abstract

Advances in digital technology have encouraged prostitution service providers to transform from conventional prostitution to cyber prostitution by maximizing the use of information technology. This transformation also creates opportunities and threats for Prostitute Women (WTS) when they are active in the practice of the prostitution business. Although the vehicle for WTS practice has changed, the stigma against WTS continues to grow and is even more varied. This research explains comprehensively about the social environment of WTS; the growing stigma against WTS, the transformation of prostitution business services in the digital era, and how WTS's efforts to survive in the business. This article uses the literature review method. The results of this study found that in daily work activities, WTS often experience stigma and threats of violence from their surroundings and workplace. This stigma has resulted in the emergence of post-traumatic stress so that the mental health of WTS is disturbed and often feels afraid to face the surrounding environment. Another finding is that the transformation of prostitution services from conventional to cyber in fact does not reduce the stigma against WTS. Stigma against it is increasingly varied. Even so, WTS' drive to persist in cyber prostitution remains high. In fact, the work orientation of WTS in cyber prostitution is no longer just economic fulfillment, but to participate in the development of current trends. In order to survive in the transformed prostitution business, the social capital of WTS needs to be turned into a social security network for WTS to manage their stigma and minimize the threat of violence can naturally sustain cyber prostitution.

Abstract

This study discusses the role of women as regional leaders, in the East Java region precisely on the island of Madura in one period. Although initially the existence of women is also often doubted and looked at in one eye, not a few of them can answer with the achievement of very glorious achievements. Success in leading an area is not determined by its gender, but rather by the utilization of the abilities and potential possessed by the person himself. This study is qualitative descriptive, namely direct observation in four regions in the districts in Madura, with interview techniques, questionnaires, and also observations. The discussion of the role of female leaders or also called "klebun bhinik" in Madura, becomes a new marker for the existence of women themselves in social status that will be increasingly viewed. Because the position as a klebun is not only worth administrative, but also has a value of social standing. Therefore, it is not surprising that in the Madurese system that adheres to patriarchal values that are also Islamic, the role of klebun is more carried by a man. This opinion further strengthens that the position of the clergy of social value is more held by men so that the presence of klebun only continues the power that has been owned by his husband, father, or grandfather. Based on existing data can be concluded, that the existence of “klebun” in the land of Madura is indeed the successor of the previous power. They were also only administrative rulers because the real power was in the old klebun (husband, father, or grandfather) and reversed the social status in Madurese society. So it is not wrong if at the turning point women began to increase social status in the eyes of Madurese people in dynasties and power.
