Abstract

The study conducted at the Practical Language Learning Center (PLLC) aimed to compare the effectiveness of two teaching methods for TOEFL preparation: the TMIP-Based Web in Teaching TOEFL method and a conventional approach or no specific intervention. A total of 58 students participated, with 25 assigned to the control class and 33 to the experimental class. TOEFL scores served as the measure of learning outcomes. Prior to analysis, Levene's test was used to assess variance equality between groups, followed by an independent samples t-test to compare mean scores. Results revealed a significant difference in mean TOEFL scores between the control (M = 66.96) and experimental (M = 81.58) groups, indicating superior performance in the experimental group. Statistical analyses, supported by SPSS output, affirmed the positive impact of the TMIP-Based Web in Teaching TOEFL method on students' TOEFL scores. The analysis of the SPSS output reveals a significant finding, where the obtained significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 is considerably less than the conventional threshold of 0.01. This result prompts the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H1), indicating a substantial relationship between the TMIP-Based Web in Teaching TOEFL method and students' TOEFL scores. Furthermore, this conclusion is reinforced by both manual t-test analysis and SPSS assistance, both of which corroborate a statistically significant impact of the teaching method on students' TOEFL scores.

Abstract

Passive students are one of the challenges in English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom. Most of the EFL learners are able to understand the speakers but cannot speak much themselves. The conceivable teaching strategies are very crucial in order to assist the teachers to encourage the students to practice and be active in the classroom. This paper would like to elaborate the potential benefit of journal writing, especially in improving students’ speaking skill. Also, as a reference for Indonesian English teachers to guide the students to communicate confidently in English. To discover the advantages, the literature research methodology will be applied to explore the core concepts. The findings indicate that journal writing has several positive effects in improving students’ speaking skill in EFL classroom, though there are some challenges that teachers need to consider in applying this method. The implication of this research aims to increase the number of “active speaker” among English learners by promoting journal writing as learning tools in EFL context.

Abstract

AbstrakTujuannya adalah menganalisis kategori budaya dan mendapatkan kategori paling dominan yang disajikan dalam buku teks. Desain penelitian kualitatif, khususnya analisis isi buku teks digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Pemeriksaan obyektif terhadap isi data teks dengan menggunakan proses pengkodean sistematis untuk mengidentifikasi tema atau pola adalah metode penelitian yang dikenal dengan analisis isi kualitatif (Hsieh dan Shannon, 2005, p. 1278). Sumber data primer penelitian ini adalah buku teks bahasa Inggris sekolah menengah pertama untuk siswa kelas sembilan yang disebut Bahasa Inggris Interaktif. Peneliti menggunakan kategori yang sudah ada untuk menganalisis data, termasuk makanan dan minuman, lokasi, seni, upacara, perilaku sosial, kepercayaan dan nilai, sejarah, dan individu. Kategori-kategori ini dikembangkan oleh Adoskou, Moran, Dweik, dan Al-Sayed pada tahun 1990, 2001, dan 2015. Data tekstual dan visual diperiksa berdasarkan kategori budaya sumber, budaya target, dan budaya dunia. Berdasarkan temuan, budaya sumber lebih sering ditampilkan dibandingkan budaya target dan budaya lain. Tampak dalam 6 kategori, artinya ada 2 kategori yang tidak menyajikan budaya sumber, yaitu; kategori kepercayaan dan nilai serta seni. Namun budaya sumber tidak mendominasi pada masing-masing kategori, namun secara persentase merupakan budaya yang paling tinggi persentasenya (41,7%), budaya internasional sebesar 36,1%, dan budaya sasaran sebesar 22,2%. Budaya sumber juga tampaknya menjadi kategori yang paling lazim dalam buku teks interaktif bahasa Inggris, dengan sejumlah besar entri dalam berbagai kategori, diikuti oleh budaya target dan budaya internasional. AbstractThe aims are to analyze the culture categories and get the most dominant category presented in the textbook.  Qualitative research design, specifically content analysis of textbooks is employed in the study. The objective examination of the text data's content using a systematic coding process to identify themes or patterns is a research method known as qualitative content analysis (Hsieh and Shannon, 2005, p. 1278). The primary data source for this study is a junior high school English textbook for ninth graders called Interactive English. The researcher employs established categories to analyze the data, including food and drink, locations, art, ceremonies, social behavior, beliefs and values, history, and individuals. These categories were developed by Adoskou, Moran, Dweik, and Al-Sayed in 1990, 2001, and 2015. The textual and visual data are examined based on the cultural categories of source culture, target culture, and worldwide culture. According to the findings, source cultures are shown more frequently than target and other cultures.  It appears in 6 categories, which means that there are 2 categories that do not serve the source culture, namely; belief and value and arts categories. However the source culture is not dominated in each category, but for the percentage, it is the highest percentage of all (41,7%), international culture is 36,1 %, and target culture is 22,2%. The source culture also appears to be the most prevalent category in the interactive English textbook, with a significant number of entries in numerous categories, followed by the target culture and the international culture.   Keywords: international cultural, source cultural, target cultural, international cultural

Abstract

The availability of technological learning media offers easiness in determining relevant learning activities. Moreover, this can also be integrated into the principle of a student-centered learning system which would promote students to be more independent in managing their study. This study investigated the relationship between the video project activity and freshmen’s learning autonomy in the Intermediate Speaking course. Nine students of the English Language Education Study Program of the 2022/2023 batch were involved as the participants of this correlational study. To gather the data, a learner autonomy questionnaire and the result of students’ speaking video project were used. The Pearson Product Moment formula was used to analyze the correlation of the two variables. The findings of this study confirmed possible implications between the correlational of “learning autonomy” and “learning achievement”.

Abstract

The English language teaching in Indonesia focuses on text or genre, making applying systemic functional linguistics important in writing. However, students struggle with grammar, vocabulary, and constructing words into syntactical construction. They only focus on composing a text, leading to meaningless clauses. The writer has identified the challenge of constructing clause complexes as the research problem. The research aims to identify the types of logico-semantic relations and analyze the logico-semantic relation of clauses frequently used in descriptive texts written by 10th-grade students in middle school. The data was analyzed by classifying the clauses and identifying the logico-semantic relations proposed by Halliday and Matthiessen (2014). According to the data analysis, the descriptive text contains logico-semantic relations of clauses such as expansion (elaboration, extension, and enhancement) and projection (idea). Expanding of elaboration and extension in parataxis is most commonly used in the text, accounting for 11% of the total occurrence. However, the text still requires improvement regarding making clause complexes and using conjunctions correctly.
