Abstract

The framework underpinning the Speech Acts theory developed by Searle (1979) examining the headlines of one online International news advocating the never-ending conflict of Palestine-Israel becomes a fundamental analysis of this research. The qualitative case study is presented by 26 selected headlines (ranging from 6 to 13 words) from BBC News distinguished with the world–Middle East section of the Gaza and Israel war. This covers the headline from October 2023 to January 2024. The document analysis through the written texts of headlines was the main data. The research shows that there are four of five categories of speech acts found in this research, calculating “assertive” and “commisive” as both the largest and the least frequent models under the main framework of the Searle model. The pragmatics analysis is also integrated which presents five different types of implications including the involvement of external actors, statistics of released hostages, casualties of the war, Benjamin Netanyahu's point of view, and the war condition.

Abstract

Since assessment is an essential component of education, various assessments, both short-term and long-term, can be used throughout or at the end of the learning process. Among these, alternative assessment becomes prominent to be applied. This study reveals the teachers’ views and experiences, the potential advantages, and challenges of implementing alternative assessment in primary international schools. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaire from international primary school teachers that have experienced more than 10 years. This study discovered four notable benefits and three notable challenges that have been deduced from the current theoretical framework. The benefits can be classified into four main categories: enhancing students' performance, catering to different learning styles and preferences, emphasizing process-oriented learning, and promoting motivation. The three obstacles are to the issues of subjectivity and trustworthiness, time limitations, and the selection of the suitable methodology. Alternative assessment is crucial as it offers a valuable opportunity to improve students' learning and should be implemented to allow students to strengthen their skills. Hence, it is imperative for EFL teachers to regard alternative assessment as a viable option for classroom assessment.

Abstract

The study aims to assess the effectiveness of ChatGPT in improving grade XI students' writing skills at SMAN 1 Puloampel. The method used was a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving 60 students divided into a control group and an experimental group. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests in the form of essays. The results of the analysis using the Independent T-test showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000, which means that the null hypothesis (H0) can be rejected, supporting the alternative hypothesis (Ha). Moreover, the effect size test yielded a value of 1.18, indicating a "high effect" category according to Cohen's interpretation. It suggests that ChatGPT was an effective medium in improving the writing skills of eleventh-grade students at SMAN 1 Puloampel, particularly in explanation text material.
