Abstract

Controlling undergraduate students’ tasks and supervising the process via online could decrease the quality of the task, since online feedback could not be well transmitted, which then resulted in unexpected revision.  Therefore, this research was aimed at finding out the effectiveness of SHARINGPLUS. This research used the action research method, done to twenty students in even semester 2020/2021. The model contained kinds of tasks with indicators and sub-indicators, list of students, and task options related to their final grades. The model contains eleven stages for every kind of task, but the students who succeed in doing the task until stage 4 do not need to do the following steps. Only the students with difficulty should follow the steps until the end. Findings showed that 45 % participants could follow 4 processes (SHAR). They worked in R stage repeatedly, since there was no limitation of task submission. The remaining students found difficulty in working in the system so that they could not finish their tasks  in the system. Thus, conclusion can be stated that the model was not yet effective to make students work as expected so that it needs more development.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the most common teachers' talk in EFL classrooms as well as the reasons that influenced their selection. This research focused on the teacher's perception of how the teacher talks with students in class and some of the challenges that teachers might face while interacting with students to encourage students in the learning process to take place. The participants of this research were 2 English teachers who received professional training in English teaching as part of the undergraduate program. They were English teachers at an integrated Islamic school in Medan. The observations were made to describe the teacher interview process data and also the learning carried out by the teacher to find insights about how the teacher talks and what challenges the teacher faced when interacting with students in class. This study used a qualitative descriptive method. The findings in this study were that the teacher applied more dominant English communication as input. Teachers felt that increasing the use of the target language will be more challenging because it is influenced by several aspects, such as the motivation, attitude, and skills of the teacher and students. In addition, when the teacher spoke it varies greatly on several levels based on the factors that influence the teacher and student. The results of this study also showed that most teacher conversations are used in the form of questions, then explaining the lesson, giving directions to students, and praising or encouraging students. Apart from that, because students are considered as learners or beginners, class interaction must be adjusted to the right and appropriate choice of language so that communication becomes easier and more effective. In addition, the analysis of teachers’ talk in the classroom would be beneficial for teachers to plan and conduct enhanced learning situations.

This research presented an album by alternative rock band Radiohead's "Ok Computer". The objective of this research was to analyse the capitalist state employed in Radiohead's Ok Computer album in relation to slavery and poverty. Therefore, as this study used literary marxism, the method used by researchers was the qualitative method to describe naturally occurring occurrences. Radiohead's song. Overall, this research argued that Radiohead's Ok Computer album presented a literary marxist critique of capitalist state slavery and poverty. The album depicts the lives of the poor as jobs that slowly kill them and expresses disappointment in a system that protects a form of slavery. The album suggests that the capitalist state's poverty is the result of a new crisis, with the state ignoring the voices of the proletariat and exploiting them for the state's benefit. The capitalist state is driven by profits and structural inequality, which cannot be abolished unless we address the violent power structures underlying it.
