Abstract

This study was designed to find out the EFL Vocational School teacher’s implementation of TPACK and its dominant strategies implemented by EFL Vocational School teachers in teaching writing. This qualitative case study was conducted at a technical vocational school in Malangbong using observation, interviews, and documentation. Research participants were purposively recruited for this study including an English teacher at a technical vocational school in Malangbong. The results of this study showed that teacher has good knowledge about technological advances for teaching writing, especially in the aspects of CK, PK, PCK, TPK, and TPACK. Thus, an EFL teacher must have more concern on developing the TPACK framework of mind. Several problems emerged with its implementation including students' experiences with unsteady internet connections and electrical troubles, such as occasionally occurring in teaching activity that leads to pend or even cancel lessons, and it greatly disrupts the learning process. Concerning the challenges encountered by teachers, schools must always find out ways to solve problems in teaching and understand the concepts of the TPACK framework. Thus, teaching writing using the TPACK framework can be carried out effectively.

Abstract

This research investigated the evaluation of an English textbook. This research aimed to analyze the relevance between the revised edition of the 2013 Curriculum English textbook “Modul Pembelajaran SMA Bahasa Inggris” for Senior High School grade XI to the Core Competence concerning cognitive and psychomotor domains. This research employed content analysis under descriptive qualitative as the research design. The data of this research was collected from the English textbook “Modul Pembelajaran SMA Bahasa Inggris” for Senior High School grade XI. The collected data was categorized into tables and elaborated into each core Competence, Learning Indicator, and Learning process. The data was analysed using a conclusion drawn and then it was interpreted. The results of this research indicated that the relevance between learning indicators to the Basic competencies is adequately relevant for the Cognitive Domain and slightly relevant for the Psychomotor Domain. Besides, the relevance between learning activity to the Basic competencies is barely relevant for the Cognitive Domain and barely relevant for the Psychomotor Domain. The findings came up with the fact that the English textbook has more emphasis on the cognitive domain than the psychomotor aspect. Thus, the teacher should cover the rest of those aspects in the process of teaching and learning so that the students can achieve the Basic competencies optimally.

Abstract

This study explores speaking anxiety among students during impromptu presentations. Speaking anxiety, characterized by discomfort and excessive worry, can impact students' well-being and necessitate social support. The research investigates students’ experiences and influencing factors using a qualitative case study approach. Data was collected from 35 tenth-grade students at MAN 1 Garut through questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaire reached 35 participants from class X-4, while interviews involved 4 selected students. Results reveal that most students experience anxiety during impromptu presentations, manifesting as nervousness, mental withdrawal, and fear of making mistakes or negative judgments. To mitigate speaking anxiety, teachers can employ strategies such as improving body language and eye contact. The study emphasizes the importance of teacher support and motivation in helping students overcome anxiety. For students, the findings underscore the commonality of speaking anxiety and the need for more practice and mental health awareness when facing spontaneous presentations. Teachers' sensitivity and patience are key to addressing this issue effectively.

Abstract

EFL students frequently face challenges in understanding cultural references, idioms, and slang, which can hinder vocabulary acquisition and overall language comprehension. This issue raises important questions about the accessibility and effectiveness of various language learning tools for learners from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This study explored the impact of using pop culture English movies for vocabulary acquisition among EFL college students. A qualitative case study method was employed, involving 40 participants, with 10 students from each grade level completing a questionnaire and 10 participating in follow-up interviews. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires to explore students’ perceptions and semi-structured interviews to investigate the strategies for learning vocabulary through movies. The results indicated that students generally found movies valuable for vocabulary acquisition, particularly enhancing their listening skills and contextual understanding. Most students reported increased confidence in using new vocabulary learned through movies. They employed various strategies, including note-taking, subtitles, and engaging in peer discussions. However, challenges such as difficulty understanding cultural references and the fast pace of dialogues were significant obstacles. Despite these, many students preferred learning vocabulary through movies over traditional classroom methods. The study concluded that pop culture English movies can be an effective tool for vocabulary acquisition, provided that students are guided in using appropriate learning strategies. Future research should focus on the long-term impact of movie-based learning on vocabulary retention and the potential benefits of different movie genres for language learning.
