Abstract

This research was designed to study teaching activities for speaking in an EFL refugee class at Immigration Detention Center in Balikpapan. The purpose of this study was to investigate the speaking activities that the teacher conducted, as well as how the teacher worked those activities and the challenges that appeared when the teacher performed teaching activities for teaching speaking. The research was done in Immigration Detention Centre, Lamaru, Balikpapan, in December 2019. The research sample in this study was one teacher of an EFL class of refugees in IDC Balikpapan. The study was based on qualitative case study research. Data were collected by using two instruments, classroom observation, and interview. The result indicated that various activities were conducted by the English teacher for teaching speaking in this class. It showed that the teacher taught ten exercises: discussion, roleplay, brainstorming, storytelling, interview, picture describing, game, presentation, field trip, and cooking activity. The teacher used the real-life situation as the topics for speaking activities in EFL class, applied pair or group learning, motivated the learners, used students centered method to encourage learners to be free to talk, and made only principal corrections when the learners were doing speaking activities. The challenges that the teacher faced while applying speaking activities in this EFL class learning process include language barriers, different educational backgrounds and life experiences, the psychological condition of the learners, and uncomfortable classroom situations. A professional teacher's certificate and training must be needed for teaching EFL refugee classes. So, it is necessary to create a particular course or class for learning to teach EFL classes for refugees in the English Education programs. EFL teacher of refugees is not only teaching language. The teacher is a facilitator, a guide, and a motivator to the EFL learners.

Abstract

Speaking of oral communication has frequently been labeled unfavorable to people because it requires confidence and courage. Thus, it appears to be one of the most challenging learning skills, requiring practice and exposure. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Senior High School learners' level of performance in spoken discourse and their dominant monitor performance. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design with 156 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. Recognizing and understanding Senior High School students' monitor performance was expected to motivate teachers to address the root cause of the problem, resulting in more proficient and communicative second language use. The findings disclosed that monitoring performance is crucial in determining the level of performance of learners in spoken discourse. A firm grasp of the English language, including its grammar and vocabulary components, effective discourse management, pronunciation, and interactive communication, are critical components in developing learners' speaking abilities. Additionally, this study revealed that those enrolled in the academic track are proficient at communicating, which explains why most are labeled optimal monitor users. In this regard, they use their information appropriately to strike a balance between self-correction and fluency, ensuring that error repair does not become a barrier to communication. Future recommendations were also discussed in this paper.

Abstract

There is a stereotype of a correlation between family socioeconomic status and parental educational background with the student's achievement. Therefore, this study aims to know in-depth roles. Examine 60 students of Melati Junior High School Samarinda in their performance on reading and listening comprehension tasks. There is a significant relationship between SES and parents' educational background using the correlational method, non-experimental. Nevertheless, it s not always that students with low socioeconomic and parents' educational backgrounds get low scores and vice versa. Likewise, students with high educational backgrounds of their parents do not necessarily get high grades in school. Several factors revealed that SES and Educational background is the main predictor of academic achievement.

Abstract

This qualitative research, a hermeneutic study, focused on exploring and capturing the essence and meaning of lived experiences of English teachers in integrating Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy into their differentiated instruction practices. Bloom's Digital Taxonomy highly contributes to the change that education witnesses today. Students acquire knowledge and skills in various ways and at different speeds, and the idea of giving a personalized learning experience for students in a digital classroom is challenging. From the interviews and observations conducted, participants revealed that acceptance and self-initiated learning served as the key to adapting to technology and learning tools as anchored in Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy for the sudden paradigm shift in education. Participants considered technical aspects, digital literary skills, monitoring, and interaction as challenges to overcome and should be a part of the virtual preparedness. Moreover, teachers positively embrace and maximize the use of technology in education. BDT keeps them on track in aligning learning objectives in differentiated instruction attainable in a virtual set-up. The use of Digital tools as anchored in BDT boosts engagement and motivation, builds closer imitation of face-to-face classes, and enhances education delivery and management in a virtual environment. The researcher recommends that teachers undergo professional development focusing on BDT in differentiated instruction teaching English subjects. The education may use the MDT-EDP Training plan of this study and may conduct a needs analysis to provide the most relevant training for the educators based on their skills, needs, and interest.

Abstract

Students today are 21st-century learners who prefer digitization and reading is not their top priority, teachers at the same time should meet the needs of these students. English teachers, specifically in reading skills, should have the capability and knowledge to craft methods to use in dealing with students who have difficulty with reading. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of localized english reading materials in enhancing the reading skills of grade two pupils. The reading skills of the pupils in this research were determined through match pairing. The participants came from the total population of 32 pupils from section orange in grade two, who were grouped into two through match pairing based on their pretest results. There was 16 match paired pupil-participants included in this study. These pupil-participants were the advisees of the researcher for the school year 2021-2022 in modular distance learning. Another group of respondents were the 20 teacher-validators who assessed the crafted localized reading materials using the survey questionnaire. The pretest showed that both groups are at the beginning level in terms of their reading skills. The findings of this study indicated that the experimental group got much higher mean scores than the comparison group on their formative and post-test. The computed t-values for lesson 1 gained a t-value of 2.368, lesson 2 with a t-value of 2.885; lesson 3 with a t value of 5.085; and lesson 4 having a t-value of 8.259 showed extremely significant differences between the formative means scores of the participants. A similar result found a highly significant difference between the post-test mean scores performance of the experimental group and the comparison group with a t-value of 3.966 and a p-value less than 0.01 level of significance. All results indicated the rejection of null hypotheses and acceptance of alternative ones. These findings implied that teachers must use tactics and practices such as learning by doing, manipulative, and practical learning to integrate localization and contextualization into the teaching-learning process. Keywords: localized English reading materials, reading skills, teaching-learning process
