Abstract

CEFR is, in the Indonesian view, commonly associated merely with the standardized English test and rarely connected to the educational curriculum, pedagogy, and learning. This paper, therefore, aims to give an overview of the CEFR conceptualization; the 2001, 2018, and 2020 versions. The three versions or editions are concisely overviewed and then reflected to the Indonesian context. The adoption of CEFR provides opportunity for coherent relationship between policy, teaching, learning, and assessment.

Abstract

Tourism is one of prospective sectors to increase Indonesian economic level. It is crucial to develop effective promotion media of tourist destinations in Indonesia. One of the recent potential media is Instagram. This paper aims to investigate the representational and ideational meanings of visual and verbal modes, including their intersemiotic relations, in promoting Taman Nasional Komodo Labuan Bajo, focused on @btn_komodo as an official Instagram account of Balai Taman Nasional Komodo. The destination is one of the 5 super priority destinations in Indonesia. By applying the Visual Grammar framework (Kress & Van Leeuwen, 2006), this study views how the visual and verbal modes construe the meaning for the purpose of tourism promotion on the Instagram. The data was captured from Instagram posts in the form of visual texts (photos) and verbal texts (captions). The posts are predominantly communicated through the visual text, then completed, clarified and confirmed by the accompanying verbal text. Multimodal discourse analysis of the Instagram posts shows that both visual and verbal texts contribute the values of promotion. The result implies that future research should include more complete material of semiotic resources and implement more comprehensive analysis related to multimodal discourse.

Abstract

The paper reports a case study method exploring the perceptions of 10 students enrolling a listening class in terms of their experience when taking extensive listening, primarily by using YouTube. A closed-ended questionnaire was delivered and FGD through a semi-structured interview was utilized as a datacollecting method. The results of exploring the students’ perspectives indicated that: (1) they can do extensive listening via YouTube to improve their listening fluency anytime and anywhere; (2) they can learn the pronunciation of new vocabulary and grammar through extensive listening; (3) they can pertain the topic of aural text from context; (4) the speed change function and the subtitle function is occasionally used to solve their confusion on new phrases; (5) some commercials may be as information to support their English learning; (6) they find an unreliable or unstable internet connection in some cases. Therefore, it is suggested that teachers set the teaching and learning activities and environment that can encourage students to experience extensive listening. Besides, it is also suggested that the institution management provide good Internet accessibility in the teaching and learning environment.

Abstract

Speaking is one of the productive skills in English. Among the four language skills, speaking tends to be the language skill that seems to be difficult for students to do because it requires students to be able to communicate orally in English. This constraint has led to several studies about the teaching and learning of speaking. To enrich the studies about the teaching of speaking, this paper aims to describe the process of doing a video project by fulfilling all elements of speaking such as grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and pronunciation. The participants of the study are 71 students of the Food Crop Production Program at Politeknik Negeri Jember. By doing the project, students can conduct a series of activities as follows: deciding a topic, working on language aspects, planning the video, drafting, editing, uploading the finished video on the YouTube channel, and giving a score of the video. The results show that by conducting the project, the students learn to write a script with better grammar and vocabulary, understand the task, and pronounce English words correctly and fluently. The video project also encourages the students to learn how to edit videos using editing software. This project also helps students and lecturers do collaborative teaching and learning processes to produce a video with some elements of speaking completely.
