Abstract

Most students find writing hard since it requires a complex process and strategies. They should cover not only all the dimensions of writing, such as content, organization of ideas, language use, mechanics, but also other important aspects such as, how they convey their ideas and do the editing process. They usually miss these aspects from the very beginning, the pre-writing process.  Therefore, the teacher should give an effective strategy for the students to write. It is critical to provide them strategies so that they can assist themselves in their writing process. Self-assessment is one of the strategies that encourages students to be able to think about their purpose in writing and to reflect on what and how much they are learning. This article discusses the benefits and practical implementation of self-assessment to assist the students’ writing process. Teachers should implement it frequently because it needs a process to train the students to develop their self-efficacy.

Abstract

CLIL programs at the university level are usually associated with ESP courses, we analyze the case regards to the position of CLIL and ESP in Tourism study. As CLIL programs are promoted to improve students’ language proficiency in English, we explore the importance of language learning in these programs and the implications derived from ESP. Data were obtained from class observation and also lecturer and student views on CLIL expressed in focus groups and a questionnaire. Findings show imprecise guidelines for CLIL implementation. Although we can observe a well-organized shift from ESP to CLIL, lecturer and student perspectives provide useful insights for action that can be taken by ESP course designers to adapt courses to make them more relevant to students’ discipline-related needs. Deal with these findings, we propose engaging in collaboration with content lecturers to advance Tourism Department’s graduates’ proficiency in English.

Abstract

There were at least two crucial problems faced by the students of SMPN 4 Jember in reading class. The first problem was the teachers technique that was not able to improve students reading comprehension. The second problem was students inability in answering different level of questions. In other words, the students score on reading comprehension were poor. To solve the two problems, the researcher conducted a classroom action research by using Question  And Answer Relationship strategy in improving students reading comprehension. The findings showed that QAR-TIRRE strategy improved students reading comprehension. In the first cycle, the number of students who got the score greater or equal to 70 was only 19 students out of 38 students or 50%. It had not fulfilled the criterion of success yet. But, in the second cycle, the students who got the score greater or equal to 70 were 27 out of 38 students or 71, 05%. In addition, the result of the students participation increased from 05,26% in cycle I to 10,53% in cycle II. It fulfilled the criterion of the success in terms of score improvement. Based on the result, the researcher claimed that the QAR-TIRRE strategy improved students reading comprehension. Hopefully, it could be significant input for the teacher and other researchers to teach and conduct research especially related to the teaching of reading.

Abstract

The availability of technologies for instructional purposes has grown rapidly. One of them is using a digital story to teach English for polytechnic students. Actually, it is not a new learning platform, but few teachers apply it in their own classroom especially in the Asian context where English is viewed as a foreign language. To fill this void, the researcher deployed digital storytelling which involved students in creating digital stories and voicing their experience orally. This article further explains the implementation of digital storytelling as a pedagogical language input to foster the students speaking skills which involved the first semester students in Basic English course. Besides, the students engage actively in describing their experiences and showing visual background, which was assisted by a technological application available. The practical implication of this project is that the EFL teachers are able to deploy digital storytelling in their classroom as a medium to bridge learners through meaningful context and social practices.

Abstract

This study focuses on the use of conjunctive adjuncts that link one sentence to another in 20 English scientific articles published in four different journals. Text analysis is employed to investigate the use of conjunctive expressions, the most frequently used categories and forms of conjunctive adjuncts, and possible patterns in the use of conjunctions based on Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) framework. 221 items of conjunctive expressions are found covering 24.69% of the total number of sentences written. Additive conjunction is the category which is the most frequently used, while ‘however’ is the form which is used in the highest frequency. Unfortunately, this study is quite far from sufficient to draw a conclusion regarding the possible patterns of the use of the conjunctions in the subject journals.

The urgency of classroom management in the English classroom is indisputable. It is said so since classroom management is the fundamental component of the successful teaching and learning processes. However, many teachers are still confused about how to practice good classroom management. Coping with the previous dilemma, this paper aimed at describing the five crucial elements of practicing good classroom management. Those elements are listed as follows: teacher talk, teacher talking time, voice management, physical presence, and seating arrangement through a literature review. It is expected that this paper can give a clear explanation related to the five crucial elements. With that in mind, classroom management can be well-practiced.
