Abstract

Writing occupies a paramount role in the conveyance of ideas, demanding a profound comprehension of the nuances integral to crafting impeccable written compositions. The research under consideration was undertaken with the objective of delving into the writing skills of students and discerning the challenges they encounter in composing descriptive texts. Employing a mixed-method approach, the study engaged English learners at STIE AMM Mataram, constituting a cohort of 28 students. To attain a comprehensive understanding of their writing abilities and difficulties, the research employed writing tests and interviews as research instruments. The research outcomes revealed a mean score of 69.92 for the students, indicative of a concerning trend of inadequate proficiency in writing descriptive texts, essentially categorizing their abilities as 'poor.' A closer examination of the data delineated specific performance distributions among the students: 12% garnered scores below 60, designating them as 'poor,' while 40% fell within the 61-70 score range, also categorized as 'poor.' Moreover, 36% secured scores in the 71-80 range, positioning them in the 'average' category, and a mere 12% earned scores designated as 'very good. Vocabulary and organization stood out with ratings categorized as 'good to average,' showcasing relative strengths. Conversely, content, grammar, and mechanics were characterized by a 'fair to poor' categorization, underscoring significant areas of difficulty. In particular, students grappled with challenges concerning grammar, content development, and mechanical aspects of writing. In light of these findings, it is evident that students encounter multifaceted difficulties, particularly in the realms of grammar, content creation, and mechanics. As a viable solution, it is recommended that English teachers prioritize providing students with ample opportunities for writing practice. These opportunities should be designed to specifically enhance content development and grammar proficiency in writing descriptive texts.

Abstract

The amalgamation of self-regulated learning, self-confidence, and linguistic awareness within the teaching of speaking and listening skills at Islamic-affiliated schools holds tremendous promise in empowering learners to become independent, proficient, and self-aware language users. By encouraging learners to take an active role in their learning process, this integrated approach can significantly contribute to the regulation of their learning activities and ultimately lead to improved academic achievement. Therefore, this study focused on investigating the use of SRL to improve learners’ speaking and listening skills and on delving into the learning situation which affects the speaking and listening skills viewed from self-confidence and linguistic awareness. The study was conducted in qualitative ways. The research instruments employed observation sheets and interview guidelines. The data are analyzed in qualitative ways, i.e., data condensation, data display, and drawing conclusions and verification. The findings showed that the implementation of self-regulated learning strategies in the teaching of speaking and listening skills can significantly impact learners' language development. Self-confidence and linguistic awareness act as catalysts for improving learners' speaking and listening proficiency. By setting goals, monitoring progress, and engaging in self-reflection, learners can boost their self-confidence, leading to more effective communication. Additionally, heightened linguistic awareness enables learners to refine their language skills, enhancing both speaking fluency and listening comprehension. The findings hold the potential to inform educational practitioners, policymakers, and researchers about the value of incorporating SRL methods effectively into language teaching, leading to more effective and tailored pedagogical approaches.

Abstract

Writing-process research has undergone a transformative shift from relying on methods that were impractical for classroom settings, such as direct or video-based observations and concurrent verbal reports, to adopting less-obtrusive techniques like keystroke logging and eye tracking. The latter methods have become increasingly feasible due to the resolution of software and cost-related concerns, making them more accessible for pedagogical applications. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the efficacy of process-tracing technology for supporting academic writing instruction at a middle school in Vietnam. To carry out the research process, the researchers applied qualitative study. The participants in this study comprise a group of learners attending a middle school in Vietnam. Their involvement in the research revolves around the meticulous tracing of their writing process as they engage in the production of argumentative texts, with a particular focus on the utilization of technology during this endeavor. Data collection involved the application of both interviews and observations to gather comprehensive insights into the phenomenon under investigation. The findings of the study showed that process-tracing technology is able to help teachers and learners to control their academic writing achievement. The conclusion showed that the integration of process-tracing technology, combining keystroke logging and eye tracking, has proven to be a highly effective and valuable tool for supporting academic writing.

Abstract

Abstract To better help globalized EFL learners withstand a wide variety of stumbling blocks residing in these modern second language writing learning enterprises, writing instructors should devise a learner-oriented learning approach where writers strongly establish more robust collaborative networking to successfully achieve their desired writing learning goals. A collaborative writing strategy plays an indispensable role to attain this coveted writing learning objective where EFL learners can supportively collate their distinctive ideas, perspectives, and strategies to compose more qualified writing compositions. This currently-initiated qualitative study was in support of an annotated bibliography approach to ascertain the credibility, relevancy, and applicability of the particularly-attained research results. To that end, the researcher utilized a document analysis and an open-coding approach to thematically categorize each identical research result generated by 10 already-published collaborative writing strategy journal articles conducted worldwide. The thematically-analyzed research results highly advised globalized second language writing instructors to incorporate a collaborative writing strategy at the inception of regular writing learning dynamics as it functioned as one of the propelling forces for EFL learners to gradually transform into more skilled, enthusiastic, confident, optimistic, and proactive target language writers. Keywords: EFL writing; collaborative writing strategy; annotated bibliography; document analysis

Abstract

In the realm of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), the cultivation of speaking skills demands specialized learning techniques and models. This particular study embarked on the mission of tackling the speaking challenges encountered by students in Islamic-affiliated junior high schools in West Lombok, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative approach, the researchers harnessed interviews and observations as their research methods. The investigation uncovered a spectrum of hurdles faced by students, including a restricted vocabulary, a dearth of fluency, and an apprehension of making mistakes. In response to these challenges, the researchers strategically employed interviews to augment vocabulary and speaking proficiency, leveraging humor and jokes to foster a relaxed and enjoyable learning atmosphere. The outcomes were promising, showcasing heightened engagement and motivation among students to actively participate in speaking exercises during lessons. The discernible improvement in the students' speaking skills was multifaceted, encompassing advancements in vocabulary, fluency, and overall confidence. Notably, the students not only demonstrated progress but also exhibited positive attitudes towards the teaching methodology employed, describing it as both enjoyable and effective. This study underscores the efficacy of integrating interviews and humor as potent tools in addressing speaking difficulties. It underscores the paramount importance of crafting an engaging and pleasurable learning milieu, emphasizing that such an environment contributes significantly to the enhancement of students' speaking skills. Ultimately, this research sheds light on the transformative impact of innovative teaching approaches within the realm of ESP, offering a compelling case for the adoption of these strategies to foster improved speaking abilities among students.
