Abstract

Project based Learning (PjBL), which emphasizes experiential learning, introduces a contrast between the structure of grammar and the open-ended nature of projects. This combination offers teachers with numerous hurdles, changing standard grammar education paradigms. English communication is essential in an increasingly international society. This study investigates the difficulties in incorporating PjBL into English grammar instruction in higher education. It investigates the contradictions between structured grammar and project flexibility, reconciling thorough comprehension with project constraints, and cultivating both grammar mastery and critical thinking. Managing time restrictions and providing direction are critical concerns. To overcome these obstacles, projects must be aligned with curriculum goals, and resources must be available to assist students' investigation. Virtual project experiences via learning platforms and Web 2.0 tools are among the future directions. The success of grammar projects is dependent on proper topic selection, skill integration, and proficiency alignment. They go beyond solitary practice by immersing pupils in real-life language skills. This comprehensive approach connects theoretical grammar understanding with practical language application. Finally, the combination of PjBL and grammar instruction brings education into a new era of transformation. This trip enriches language training by providing learners with communication skills and problem-solving abilities in preparation for the dynamic world ahead.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to find out the students’ perceptions of using social media in learning English as a foreign language (EFL). The descriptive qualitative method and the random sampling technique were used in this research. The participants in this research were third-semester students of the English Education Department at the University of Mataram, and the instruments used were questionnaires and interviews. The result of this research showed positive perceptions. The positive perception is that they think social media are helpful and make it easy to learn English because social media are easy to access anywhere and everywhere, and the negative perception is that students think social media are effective but sometimes often create misunderstandings. Kinds of social media that students often use are YouTube, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Those applications are chosen because of their popularity and their ability to provide an endless amount of English input to them. The ways students use social media to learn English are by communicating with their friends to practice their language or joining the English group from their account, watching videos, listening to songs in English, and they also follow some accounts to learn English. The last advantage, after using social media to learn English, is to improve their English skills, especially vocabulary, grammar, etc. The challenges identified are truthfulness/or validity of information from social media, and the frequent distracting content that makes students forget their original intent of learning when using the social media.

Abstract

Translanguaging is the practice of changing the usage of two different languages or more in order to improve communication and enrich the linguistic aspects of language use. This study presents the use of translanguaging in EFL classroom by English teachers. The main aim of this study is to describe the components and the functions of translanguaging used by the English teachers at MTsN 1 Mataram during teaching and learning process. The subject of this study consisted of two English teachers who teach at MTsN 1 Mataram. The results of this study show that there are two components and six functions of translanguaging used by the English teachers. The translanguaging’s components used by the English teachers were dominated by 58% code-switching, and 42% translating and interpreting. The difference between translanguaging and code switching is in the concept. Translanguaging allows anyone to use more than two languages without constraints, yet code-switching has its own limitations. In addition, the highest frequency of translanguaging functions is message qualification which occurred 30 times or 31%. Meanwhile, the lowest frequencies are quotations, and personalization vs objectification, where each of these functions contains one data. The implications of translanguaging in education are vast and can have a positive impact on various aspects of teaching and learning
