Abstract

Previous studies were conducted to discover the use of L1 in EFL classrooms, however, few studies investigated the students’ perception towards the teachers’ use of L1 in EFL classrooms, especially those for English – majored students. The present study was conducted to examine English – majored students’ perceptions towards their teachers’ use of mother tongue as Vietnamese in EFL classrooms in a university in Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The research was designed as a descriptive study with the mixed method using questionnaire and interview as the research instruments. There were 131 participants in this research. The findings of the study revealed that students preferred teachers’ use of mother tongue in the specialized classes (linguistics course, literal courses, and interpretation and translation courses, etc.), grammar courses, and some activities such as explaining incomprehensible words. However, they wished to have more English instruction in language skills classes to enhance their target language proficiency. Several disadvantages of using Vietnamese were also mentioned, for instance, hindering learners’ language improvement, causing their laziness and passiveness. Suggestions are proposed to raise EFL teacher’s awareness on the extent of English and Vietnamese in their teaching to help leaners achieve objective of the class.

Abstract

This research is aimed at investigating the level of demotivation and the demotivating factors experienced by Indonesian EFL learners during home online English learning as response to social distancing order amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This research employed quantitative and qualitative data. Questionnaire with 27 items was the main instrument used to obtain data about learners’ level of demotivation and demotivators as well as to identify the frequency of each demotivator. An open-ended question was attached at the end of the questionnaire to dig other additional demotivators. An interview was also conducted to gain supporting data for in-depth analysis. The results showed that the level of the 198 students’ demotivation was 2.9, categorized as lowly demotivated. The most-frequently rated demotivators in home online English learning were lack of interaction with 78.9% responses followed by 66.2% for increasing assignments and 62.1% for slow Internet connection. In terms of content and material, expectation to use grammatically correct English was the most demotivating factor with 59.6% responses. The study also revealed additional demotivators namely unsupportive parents, doing house chores, and Wi-fi absence.

Abstract

Writing anxiety and academic procrastination are said to be interconnected and have a substantial impact on students’ thesis completion. Self-regulation, on the other hand, is what allows students to make progress while writing their thesis. The goal of this research is to find out how writing anxiety and academic procrastination influence students' thesis writing and how they self-regulate themselves to write their thesis. A quantitative study utilizing descriptive statistics was used to conduct this research. Twelve students in a thesis class expressed their consent to participate in the research. The data was gathered by keeping track of the students' thesis writing progress based on word count development on their research drafts, assigning them to write a standardized weekly journal, and delivering two adapted questionnaires from the self-regulation learning strategy survey. The results suggest that the students had a high level of anxiety, with a score of 65.25, with avoidance behaviour being the highest. They also procrastinate on academic revision and review. Goal planning and requesting help, on the other hand, involve their self-regulation the most, whereas task methods and time management engage in the least. Future researchers are urged to do a further in-depth study on this issue since it is worth researching. Lecturers are also urged to introduce students to different reading and writing techniques.

Abstract

Lexical bundles are one of the important characteristics of academic discourse which tell readers to know whether the writer is professional or novice. Inevitably, studies on lexical bundles in scientific essays are important to do. This study identifies the most frequent, structural characteristics, and the functional categorization of lexical bundles in the Master Theses in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), specifically in the Findings and Discussion section. There were 651.083 words from 74 different theses compiled to create the corpus by using Antconc 3.5.8. The results found 117 different lexical bundles and the sequences ‘the result of the’ and ‘on the other hand’ dominate the section. Noun phrase + of structure which covers one third of overall forms in the corpus were the most lexical bundles’ structural types in the findings and discussion section followed by other noun phrase structures (22% out of overall bundles). Functionally, research-oriented bundles (45% of overall bundles) were the most frequent ones followed by text-oriented (40%) and the least frequent bundles were participant-oriented. Reported findings are further discussed with related theories.

Abstract

The importance of classroom interaction in learning has been widely researched. Through the lens of sociocultural theory, classroom interaction could be seen as mediation for learning where learners develop their knowledge and understandings through collaborative activities and dialogic processes which take place during the learning process in class. This paper qualitatively explores the types of classroom interaction that take place in an online learning environment to analyze factors that impacted and shaped classroom interactions. Further, how students perceive each type of interaction and how it might contribute to learning and learners’ satisfaction were also discussed. The study highlights the importance of balancing the use of both synchronous and asynchronous interaction modes to allow maximum classroom interaction. While technology might be a potential tool in encouraging learners to interact more actively and engage in interaction within a less threatening condition, instructors should think carefully about the design of learning activities to create positive classroom interaction with learners, among learners, and between learners and the course materials.

Abstract

This study aimed at finding out students’ state of motivation, engagement, and time management when Pomodoro teaching technique is implemented in ZOOM-based synchronous classroom. This study is naturally qualitative as it investigates the data from students’ during online learning as individual experiences. There were 53 freshman students from various majors involved in this study who had to attend ZOOM classroom for General English Course from August to December 2021. Ten meetings with the implementation of Pomodoro were carried out. In carrying out Pomodoro technique, the students were given break-time for 5 minutes in every 25-minute learning session. Afterwards, the students should answer the questionnaire consisting of 30 statements asking about motivation, engagement, and time management. Once the data collected, they were analyzed using Interactive Analysis (data reduction, data display, and data verification). The results uncover that, regarding motivation, 33 students had positively-oriented motivation; then in term of learning engagement, 40 students were actively engaged with online learning activities given; and concerning time management, 32 students had good time management. This result apparently implies thatnon-physical meeting—which lecturers probably presume that less stress is employed—demands regular break as well. Thence students can still learn efficiently and effectively.

Abstract

EFL teachers are currently considering implementing practical strategies to help students make rapid progress in learning English and reach their learning goals. Simultaneous Roundtable is one of the strategies that are familiar to them. In particular, the Simultaneous Roundtable strategy is examined in this study in order to determine whether it is effective for writing English descriptive essays. Indonesian seventh graders were examined in this experiment. The experimental group applied the Simultaneous Roundtable strategy. The control group then received instruction using a teacher's feedback strategy. The Simultaneous Roundtable strategy was more effective than the traditional teacher feedback strategy for improving the students' descriptive writing skills. Simultaneous Roundtable, therefore, is recommended for EFL teachers to implement since it can be one of the practical teaching strategies that significantly improve students' descriptive writing skills and increase their interpersonal and social skills.

Abstract

Blended learning necessitates a digitization technology on the part of both instructors and students, the use of up-to-date instructional strategies, adaptable learning procedures, the efficiency of the processes, space, and financial resources, as well as learner motivation and independence; all of these factors lead to a rise in learner academic achievement. Unfortunately, the results ofthe most recent empirical studies do not support the idea that blended learning help learners enhance their English proficiency and their level of learning independence. There is proof that blended learning impacts the English proficiency, learning independence, enthusiasm, and ICT skills of students. This article analyzed and quantified the effectiveness of blended learning in English as a Foreign Language (EFL). This study is a quantitative explanatory research type with a pre-test and post-test design. One hundred eighty students from the Agronomy Study Program at Universitas Katolik Indonesia Santu Paulus Ruteng participated in the study. A method of random sampling was utilized, and from that population, 73 participants were selected as samples. Data was taken by test and non test, then analyzed by a software program called SPSS 22.0. Teen blended learning sessions, including five face-to-face and five virtual sessions, are conducted using the Zoom platform. The findings indicate that students' English language skills improve with blended learning (the mean score on the posttest was 82.57), as do their levels of learning independence (82.44%), learning enthusiasm (76%), and ICT skills (70.43%).

Abstract

This study aims to know teachers’ perception regarding research and throw a shadow of light on this critical issue with respect to teaching pedagogy. For this study, data were collected through survey questionnaire with close ended items from 104 secondary school teachers (SSTs) (grade 6 to 10) and English language centers of Karachi. The data analysis revealed that most of the teachers believed that the knowledge they gain from the teaching is more effective and valuable rather than the knowledge acquired from research. In both categories, majority of the participants declared that they have limited sources available in order to access the Second Language Acquisition (SLA) articles, whereas half of them stated that they do not have enough time to conduct SLA research, a few of them reported as lack of interest, one of the SSTs indicated that research articles are difficult to understand and no ability to conduct research. Furthermore, majority of the teachers agreed that a teacher should be researcher, whereas a few of them disagreed with the statement. This study concludes with some ideas and proposals to remove the pertaining communication barriers between researchers and teachers.
