Abstract

Studies investigating the implementation of content language integrated learning (CLIL) have been widely conducted in response to the use of English as a lingua franca. However, they are mostly conducted in secondary to higher education where students have acquired their L1. They are also limited to primary education and have largely examined the teachers’ perspectives. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of the CLIL implementation on students’ English proficiency and skills at primary school to look at the feasibility of this approach implemented in primary schools. Descriptive quantitative research is conducted to analyze and explain the English proficiency levels and skills of 64 third graders and 62 fourth graders in one primary school in Surabaya, Indonesia. The findings revealed that the CLIL approach implementation had positive impacts on students’ English acquisition. The students’ English proficiency levels were from basic to outstanding levels. They showed satisfied English average scores on writing, listening, and the use of English. They also demonstrated higher average scores on every skill component. This was due to the amount of English exposure and input the CLIL students received from the content-subject materials. The content material’s understanding, knowledge, and skill helped them acquire the target language. However, the students needed to improve their reading for detail skills as their scores were low.

Abstract

Abstract: In the last ten years, studies of the representation of moral values in English textbooks have been growing. However, little empirical evidence reveals the use of speech acts to represent moral values through utterances. This study aims to investigate the representation of moral values depicted through utterances in English textbooks for elementary school grades 2 and 5 in Indonesia. By adopting a socio-cognitive critical discourse analysis (Van Dijk, 2015) framework integrated with Searle’s (1969) speech acts, this qualitative study elucidates the representation of moral values only in the verbal text. The data were analyzed by applying several steps, including unitizing, sampling, recording/coding, reducing, inferring, and narrating. The findings of this study showed that curiosity, honesty, and friendliness are the most dominant moral values depicted in two English textbooks for elementary schools in Indonesia.  Dialogue/conversation, chapter cover, and instruction for students’ activity are the strategies to promote moral values in the textbooks. This study implies that teachers and textbook writers should provide students with more examples of moral values, particularly those related to daily life communication.

Abstract

Mentoring is a way of professional development for educators, teachers, and school leaders. This study aims to discover how mentors conceptualized the value of their practice and its impact on their growth and identity while guiding mentees in teacher-research mentoring activities. This study presents a case study of 4 English educators as mentors to gather a rich depiction of their mentoring phases. Understanding the mentors' pedagogy could help in understanding more about the process of their competence-building. Moreover, this process influences the process of their learning and impacts their identity. The data were obtained through critical self-reflection journals, mentoring conversations, and online focus group interviews. A model based on Mezirow's critical self-reflection practice is used to recognize mentors' growth and identity development. It suggested that three broad mentoring categories exist: self-focused, mentee-focused, and relationship-focused, which support them in achieving mentoring expertise. Moreover, mentors' motive is influenced by the identity development that occurs in the sociocultural environment, demonstrating their values, beliefs, and perspectives. This study's results also suggest that the mentoring program can be the basis for training, deploying expertise and competencies, and boosting personal and professional growth.

Abstract

Collaborative testing—a two-stage testing modality in which students do tests as a group and individually—has been extensively researched and found to improve learning. However, most collaborative testing research has focused on non-English language learning. Therefore, this study examines the effects of group-individual collaborative testing (GICT) on English reading test achievement and student views of GICT. This sequential explanatory mixed-methods study gathered quantitative data from both treatment and control groups, primarily comprising students' correct answers, followed by qualitative insights derived from students' reflections on their learning experiences. Quantitative data demonstrates that GICT had a significant effect on students' reading achievement tests. While the qualitative data reveals that students considered GICT was a good reading testing modality, with some notes on the scoring method. Practice and research implications include 1) using GICT to test other language skills, 2) diversifying group composition, 3) giving more weight to the individual part score because students will retrieve more information during this stage, and 4) instilling collaborative learning values before testing.

Abstract

EFL students should consider writing motivation in a blended learning (BL) framework. Previous studies have discussed findings related to whether motivations can make students write essays better. Few studies have examined descriptive essay learning motivation in BL design. This study examined EFL students' learning motivation on descriptive essays in BL designs and their perceptions on essay writing motivation. The respondents were 32 EFL students in one reputable private university in Jakarta, Indonesia. This study was a correlational survey. The data was collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and a descriptive essay writing test with a scoring rubric developed by Oshima & Hogue (2006). The result showed that there was a positive and significant contribution of learning motivation on descriptive essay in a BL design. It also showed that learning motivation contributed 12.9% to the students’ descriptive essay writing skill. In addition, most students felt happy to practice writing in a BL design. Thus, it is inferred that EFL students could perform their essay writing quality in a BL design when they had strong learning motivation which included the intrinsic and extrinsic domains.

Abstract

This paper presents the online teaching practice program that influence EFL pre-service teachers’ (PSTs) emotional experiences as the pre-cursor of their professional identity construction. This study involved six   PSTs enrolled teaching practice program in an initial teacher education. Dialogic reflection before, during, and after teaching enactment was employed to dig up information about their emotional experiences in an online classroom setting. The data were analyzed using appraisal analysis (Martin and White, 2007) and thematic analysis. The results document negative emotional experiences such as feeling dissatisfaction, doubtful, and confusion which lead to positive emotional experiences, such as caring. Factors that influence PS Ts’ emotional experiences in online teaching practice are lack of Curriculum Knowledge (CrK), lack of subject-matter knowledge or Content Knowledge (CK), and lack of Pedagogical Knowledge (PK) in terms of assessing students’ competence, and the interlink between theory and practice. All PS Ts develop a good understanding of how to exploit technological tools by encouraging their self-concept. This study substantiates the importance of shared-space coaching for teacher mentors before they become an escort for PSTs who are going to be professional teacher mentors.

Abstract

This case study explores the perceptions of translanguaging in the academic writing process of pre-service teachers. Drawing upon the theories of forms translanguaging (Baynham & Lee, 2019; Garcia & Lin, 2016; Hua & Wei, 2022) and the stages of writing proposed by Hyland (2003), this research delves into how pre-service teachers perceive and utilize translanguaging in their writing. The study integrates observations, interviews, and artifact analysis involving pre-service teachers to understand their engagement with translanguaging as both a communicative and pedagogical strategy. The findings show that pre-service teachers not only view translanguaging as a method for effective communication but also as a crucial tool for enhancing their engagement with academic content, particularly in the stages of topic selection, pre-writing, writing, and feedback. In addition, the significant use of translation, code-mixing, and code-switching underscores their linguistic adaptability in a multilingual academic context. This research contributes to the academic discourse by providing insights into the role of translanguaging in the academic writing process and its implications for future teaching practices.

Abstract

Current developments in English Language Teaching (ELT) have heightened the urgent need for intercultural competence as another essential skill in contemporary language education. Today’s EFL teachers are required to possess intercultural competencies to effectively assist students in raising their intercultural awareness. This study aims to examine teachers’ international experiences regarding the development of their intercultural competence, utilizing the developmental model of intercultural sensitivity (DMIS) proposed by Bennett (1986, 2017) as the framework. Through the application of a multiple narrative approach, we analyzed the stories of two higher education teachers, collected via document study and three-cycle interviews. The results demonstrate the complexities of teachers’ intercultural competence development and highlight an important aspect: one’s intercultural progression, as they may flexibly alter based on the situation and condition faced at a given moment.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess the perceived usefulness of technology (PUT), internet self-efficacy (ISE), and perceived ease of use of technology (PEUT), and self-regulated learning (SRL) of EFL student teachers who participated in technology-mediated English learning environment. After obtaining and validating the questionnaire adapted from several relevant sources, an online survey was conducted to 363 third- and fourth-year student teachers of the English education department in Indonesian universities who met the required criteria. SEM was performed to test three hypotheses about the causal relationship between variables. Due to the hypotheses tested, it is revealed that ISE and PEUT have a partially positive and significant effect on SRL, while PUT has a positive but insignificant effect on SRL. Additionally, it is determined that the exogenous variables (PEUT) is the most influential variable on the endogenous variables (SRL). These findings are expected to add to a body of knowledge, particularly in the development of learning autonomy in teacher education, and that ISE and PEUT, in particular, should be considered as important predictors of SRL in technological English learning setting.
