Abstract

Based on the results of the 2021 National Assessment (NA), show that Indonesia is experiencing a literacy emergency. This is because 1 out of 2 students has not reached the minimum literacy competency. This research aimed to explore the challenges or barriers faced by teachers in increasing students' reading interest using digital media and to explore their strategies to overcome the barriers. The participant of this research is an English teacher from SMA Adhyaksa 1 Jambi, which was selected based on several criteria. In this research, a descriptive qualitative method was applied, in which the researcher attempts to draw in as much detail as possible the data and facts collected in the field. A semi-structured interview was conducted to collect the main data, and documentation in the form of photos when observing the research location was carried out to support the data. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using an interactive analysis model. The findings revealed that barriers faced by the teacher in integrating digital media into teaching include constraints in supporting facilities and adapting to student's understanding of using digital media. Meanwhile, there are three strategies employed by the teacher, namely making preparations before the start of learning, providing material relevant to daily life, and using relevant digital media to enhance students' reading interest. Overall, this research shows several barriers faced by teachers in integrating digital media with learning to increase students' reading interest and highlights the strategies implemented by teachers to overcome these problems. Thus, it is suggested for future researchers who are interested in this field to find research gaps and use this research as a reference or comparison.

Abstract

At the university level, critical thinking is an essential yet challenging skill for EFL students. EFL students often face various barriers to developing this skill. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that influence EFL students' abilities and to investigate the strategies they employ to develop critical thinking skills in academic writing. This study used a qualitative research design with a case study approach while the data was collected through semi-structured interviews with ten participants, specifically eighth-semester students majoring in English at a public University in Jambi. The researcher used purposive sampling to select participants based on specific criteria. The researcher used thematic analysis as a method to examine and interpret the collected data. The findings show that EFL students face several factors that affect their ability to develop critical thinking in academic writing including personal competence factors (lack of topical knowledge), linguistic factors (grammar and vocabulary), and psychological factors (low motivation, lack of self-confidence, and anxiety in supervision),. However, despite these influencing factors, EFL students also apply strategies to overcome challenges when developing critical thinking in academic writing, specifically self-management, technology support, learning atmosphere, support system, and mentorship schedule management. It can be concluded that this research is expected to be useful as suggestions and recommendations aimed to develop critical thinking in academic writing, especially for Indonesian students at the undergraduate level.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify how reading knowledge is constructed in three reading courses for EFLTEP students at one state university in Jambi and to investigate the degree of alignment between course content with the learning outcomes stipulated in the 2017 ELT curriculum implemented in that university and the 2013 ELT curriculum for secondary education. This study employed a content analysis by extracting information from the course syllabi. Data were gained solely from three sets of syllabi for Reading for General Purposes, Reading for Academic Purposes, and Critical Reading and Writing courses. The study showed that course content catered to the expected learning outcomes, although knowledge discrepancies and genres were overlapping among those three courses. It was also noticed that the contents were aligned with reading knowledge stipulated in the 2013 ELT curriculum as the courses continue to develop reading skills in terms of text structure, types, and comprehension level.

Abstract

This research aimed to determine students' perceptions of the use of debate in speaking as well as to determine students' difficulties in debate. The research participants consisted of five students who participated in English debate club at SMA Negeri 1 Jambi City. This research used a descriptive qualitative research design that aims to provide an understanding of students' perceptions and experiences related to the use of debate and the difficulties it faces. The results showed that students gave a positive perception and felt that the use of debate was effective in improving their speaking skills because debate encouraged them to continue practicing, so as to develop their vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension. However, students also have difficulties when debating, such as: defending the arguments, control emotion while debating, problem in listening skills, find or hear unfamiliar vocabulary, compose the sentence correctly. Overall, this research reveals that the use of debate has good benefits for students' speaking skills, but still needs to be supported by adequate training and coaching to overcome the difficulties experienced by students.
