Abstract

This study draws on life-history interview data to explore professional identity construction of an Indonesian English teacher. Nested in a narrative inquiry approach, data were obtained from the interviews with the English teacher as the participant and analyzed through a framework that identified the emergence of salient themes. The findings showed that three factors influenced the teacher’s professional identity construction: 1) professional development activities that have been experienced by the teacher, 2) inspirational people or relationships with people that supported the development of his professional identity and 3) constraints form the institutional norms that hindered his professional identity development. Moreover, embracing the teacher identity shift and adapting the constraints from the school were two ways of the participant in constructing his professional identity. The discussion indicated that his professional identity construction was supported by teacher professional development programs and positive interactions since his teaching knowledge and beliefs continuously constructed and reconstructed and it was obstructed by the constraints from the school as the institutional realities that should be perceived. In short, his journey of professional identity construction is dynamic that changes across time and place and his experiences of foreign language learning illustrate the reconstruction of the “self” or himself.

Abstract

ABSTRACTFor second language writers to write English research articles (RAs), it seems really challenging for them to write academic articles by English. In order to make the good and understandable writing the use of metadiscourse is really important. Therefore, this study attempted to explore the comparison of using metadiscourse for two different authors, the English native and Indonesian authors in their RAs. This study focused on the introduction and discussion section only. It aimed to identify the differences between the authors and to investigate how they used metadiscourse in their texts.The subject of this study comprised in total, 10 introductions and 10 discussions from 10 journals which are 5 different articles for each English native journals and Indonesian journals. They are in the field of TESOL and applied linguistic. This study focused on Ädel (2006) reflexive metadiscourse model (i.e., personal and impersonal metadiscourse) as the analytical framework. This study found that the culture influenced the use between personal and impersonal metadiscourse. The English native authors used more personal metadiscousre. On the other side, the Indonesian authors seems comfortable to use impersonal one.Keywords: “impersonal metadiscourse”, “personal metadiscourse”, “reflexive approach of metadiscourse”

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether there is a difference between students who read using computer-assisted reading and those who do not. Students' reading ability may depend on what they do every day. There are some students who understand vocabulary better by listening than what is written. reading while listening may be another way to overcome students' reading comprehension, There are some students who will memorize vocabulary for a long time because the vocabulary is often found in several sentences, and Some students will also easily memorize a lot of vocabulary because of the use of online dictionaries. With this, the researcher used lexical-tutor where there are audio-assisted reading, concordance, and online dictionary. For the learning process, researchers use inquiry based learning which focuses on student activity. For data collection, the researcher gave a question sheet based on what had been studied previously. The teaching materials are taken from the corpus in the lexical-tutor application    Research subject are selected from the student's representative on the basis of the student's English language skills. In order to understand whether students have an impact on their reading understanding of second-grade students, researchers use one-on-one T-TT test samples, as well as independent sample tests, to see if students use survey-based computer-aided reading to understand scores that differ from non-users. Based on the results of this study, the results of the study were then analyzed with paired TT-Test specimens, resulting in a Sig(2-Tailed) value of 0.052 > 0.05, while the data analyzed by the independent specimen test resulted in 679 >0.05. It can be concluded that there is no effect and no difference between survey-based learning with computer-assisted reading and reading without computer-assisted reading. In terms of individual scores, the findings suggest little progress. The researchers' monitoring results showed that not all students enjoyed reading while listening to audio. It is my hope that through this study, future researchers will be able to examine the learning process and the techniques used. In addition, more researchers can also take advantage of this research in the form of offline classes.

Abstract

This current study reports the effect of mnemonic loci technique on students’ vocabulary memorization. Being designed in quasi-experimental, the study answered these two questions: (1) Is there any significant difference in short-term retention of vocabulary items between the students of the mnemonic loci technique and the students of the repetition technique?, and (2) Is there any significant difference in long-term retention of vocabulary items between the students of the mnemonic loci technique and students of the repetition technique? The samples were 50 students taken from two classes, i.e. class XI of Social Science (27 students in experimental group) and class XI of Natural Science (23 students in control group). Two posttests were administered to obtain the posttest data which were analyzed using Independent T-test. The immediate posttest revealed that the t-observed was 1.134. This t-observed had the Sig. (2-tailed) of .262 which was much higher than .05. Since the Sig. (2-tailed) was much higher than .05, it led to the conclusion that both groups showed the same performance. Further, the delayed posttest revealed that the t-observed was 2.551. This t-observed had the Sig. (2-tailed) of .014. Since the Sig. (2-tailed) was below .05, the experimental group outperformed the control group.
