Abstract

Quipper is one of widely recognised Online Learning Platforms for learners on many levels. Quipper is equipped with several features that can support the process of learning, especially for language learning. This study aims to deeply discuss the features offered by Quipper that can benefit the learners through suitable instructional design used in learning English; and to provide the implication of its use for Indonesian education context. This study is library research where the data were derived from relevant articles and previous studies. The research findings revealed that some features of Quipper could benefit students to acquire new vocabulary, punctuality and grammatical awareness through Chat Room or In-built Messaging. Moreover, as web-based learning platform, Quipper could expose the multimodal exposure (written, oral and visual) for foreign language input. More importantly, Quipper was interestingly viewed by many learners as a new way of learning that somehow could enhance their positive language learning intensity. Nevertheless, even though Quipper is positively welcomed, it might imply several challenges and limitations. In Indonesian education context, Quipper could not be fully used as the main platform for learning because there would be a great reliance on teachers to misuse the features that leading to the boring class activity and lack of teaching professionalism.

Abstract

Second language writing instructors remain to experience a great deal of difficulty to find the most effective approach for assisting students to the improvement of second language (L2) writing. Teachers might claim that they have provided their students with everything they require and that they have utilized the most effective method for the teaching tasks. By doing an explanatory mixed-method on students’ personal learning experiences, the study suggests that the teachers in the L2 writing subject are to adopt the process-genre approach, by incorporating real-context materials. The teacher also could improve students' understanding of the varieties and functions of text by exposing them to authentic texts. In addition to that, using the process-genre approach, learners might have a more relevant and sensible writing instructions. Therefore, the implementation of a reflection study to evaluate an L2 writing course has yielded valuable information for language instructors, particularly writing instructors, informing them of the most appropriate method to use in the second language classroom.

Abstract

This research is prompted by the issues that arise at SMPN 8 Satap Woja, specifically the fact that after the teacher integrates English learning on the teacher-suggested materials, student learning outcomes remain low. That is evident from both the teacher's observations and the students' learning outcomes that merely a small number of students are engaged in class. Student activity is important to the learning process because it influences learning outcomes. In addition, student interest and response have a significant impact on the achievement of learning outcomes during the learning process. As a result of being aware of the aforementioned issues, a teacher feels compelled to improve lessons by conducting research. This study is a classroom action research utilizing the Jigsaw method to enhance student learning outcomes for at SMPN 8 Satap Woja. This study has been conducted in two cycles. Based on the analysis of data in this study, Jigsaw research could indeed improve student learning outcomes. The  implementation of the Jigsaw method model can increase student participation. The Jigsaw learning model can enhance student learning outcomes, as evidenced by the pre-test average of 47%, cycle 1: 58%, and cycle 2: 70.5%.

Because the presence of English materials in speaking classes is critical, material development may aid students in learning. Materials that help students improve their skills and motivate them are those that are personalised to the student's situation and background. This research and development (R&D) study employs the ADDIE instructional design model. This research consists of needs analysis, syllabus design, English speaking material development, product validation, product testing, and final product. Interviewees include experienced English teachers, an expert in English materials design, and 10th grade students from MA Ali Maksum's Conversation Program. Student questionnaires, student and teacher interview guides, and validation sheets for expert judgment are among the data collection tools used.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the definition and application of ZPD and scaffolding in English language instruction. This study is a critical review that focuses on how ZPD and scaffolding can be used to construct and structure curriculum materials. Scholars and practitioners in the field of language learning have always sought to develop a theory to facilitate the learning process for students. Some academics have focused on ways to improve students' performance in language learning or how teachers might facilitate the language-learning process. To genuinely know what to help with and how to aid, language teachers must be aware of their students' capacities. The instructor should view students as distinctive individuals with distinct needs, identities, and skills. Teachers should recognize what children can perform alone and what they need assistance with. To empower the teacher, Vygotsky (1978) proposed the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and Scaffolding theories. In this study, we endeavor to examine the theory of ZPD and Scaffolding. Secondly, we apply this idea to the context of language teaching and learning. Lastly, we discuss the significance of these theories for language learner identity.
