<![CDATA[This study aimed to investigate students’ perception towards the National Examination (Ujian Nasional/UN) and its positive and negative effects (washback). The study was a qualitative research using a survey method. It involved XII-grade students who had taken the examination from some vocational senior high schools in East Ciputat, South Tangerang, Banten, i.e. SMK Triguna Utama, SMK YMJ and SMK Moh. Husni Thamrin. A questionnaire was therefore constructed to elicit their beliefs, attitudes, behaviors and/or opinions regarding the UN. The findings showed almost all of the students believed that National Examination could increase their learning intensity, or, in other words, UN could motivate them to study harder. However, there was also revealed that the students doubted and questioned the effectiveness and importance of UN in creating better teaching learning process. These thus indicated that National Examination had positive as well as negative washback on teaching learning activities of XII-grade students of some vocational senior high schools in South Tangerang.]]>

<![CDATA[Genre-based studies in various disciplines have continuously flourished throughout the years. Despite this proliferation, local studies dealing with the acknowledgment section of the undergraduate theses tend to be premature most specifically in the field of Teacher Education (TE). The study aimed to analyze, through the presence of moves, the overall structure of the thirty (30) randomly sampled undergraduate acknowledgments from the field of TE using Hyland’s model. The findings revealed that the undergraduate acknowledgment structure was comprised of Thanking Move which is the most pervasive move, followed by the Reflecting Move. Though the Announcing Move was notpresent, one unique move, which is Thanking God, appeared to be dominating in the corpus. It is suggested for future studies to increase the number of the corpus in order to yield more interesting results and explore the socio-cultural aspect of the investigated genre.]]>

<![CDATA[The emergence of internet connections and digital mobile apps has caused a massive integration of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) in English language teaching. Learners are fond to use MALL to practice their English proficiency inside and outside the classroom. Moreover, with the assistance of MALL features, learners can enhance their English competence as well as their learning autonomy. In this study, we intend to investigate perceptions of EFL students toward the use of MALL in English learning to promote their learning autonomy. Situated in a private university in Cirebon, this study voluntarily recruited four EFL students who have fulfilled a set of criteria to be involved in interview sessions and self-reflection. They are English students who have positive perceptions on technology acceptance and learning autonomy based on the data of a preliminary study. The findings show that participants perceived the ease of use and the usefulness of MALL applications in English learning. Besides, this study also reveals that participants agreed that MALL can support their learning autonomy outside the classroom. Some implications of the study are discussed further in this paper.]]>
