Abstract

The diversity in the process of learning language is wonderful, especially the diversity between males and female student on their understanding in learning English as foreign language which is relate to their language learning competence. In this case the language learning abilities are biased by gender which affected their learning output.

To verify the hypothesis, the authors begin with the formulation of collective data collection that collected from the student`s English written text products from the secondary school which targeted high school students, then the data will be analyzed with systemic functional linguistics and feminist stylistics approach to understand the gender bias on the texts construction and to investigating the structural choice of language. The data analysis also elaborates with language learning theory to support the evidence and to verify the hypothesis. This research is designed for the development of language learning especially in English as foreign language. The development is addressed the future researchers and language teachers to develop the theory and to arrange the language learning strategies for better future of language education.

Abstract

Interaction plays a pivotal role in English teaching and learning processes. The patterns of interactions in classroom activities highly influence the success of the teaching-learning process. This study aimed to describe the classroom interaction patterns in an online teaching and learning process through a qualitative approach using the Flanders' Interaction Analysis System (FIAS). This study is focused on the young learner classroom interaction at the elementary school level. An English online class was observed and recorded to collect the data. The data were confirmed by interviewing the English teacher. The findings revealed that the dominant patterns of interaction that emerged in the online teaching and learning processes were asking questions (Teacher's Talk) and giving responses (Students' Talk). The patterns of interaction were produced from teacher and student(s) and student(s) and student(s) interactions concerning the teacher talk and the students' talk categories used in the online teaching and learning activities. By understanding classroom interaction patterns, the results can be worth considering in selecting activities to support students in improving their full potential in teaching and learning processes. Besides, classroom interaction plays a crucial role in achieving the intended goals in the teaching and learning processes.
