Abstract

The slow spread of Covid-19 was a big problem for the school system. This made a lot of experts want to look into cases from the time. But it’s unlikely that many studies have been done on how teaching and learning go in a classroom where phones are used. A classroom where phones are used as the main learning tool is called a phone-infused classroom. The goal of this study is to find out how people think about and use phones in the classroom. Three English teachers and 66 children at the Islamic Elementary School in Mojokerto were asked to fill out questionnaires and talk with a focus group. The researcher looked at the transcript and gave a qualitative descriptive study of the results. As a result of the research, three themes came to light: the effects on teaching practices, teachers’ and students' strengths and challenges, and teachers' and students' evaluations of worth. Overall, the use of phones in teaching and learning during the pandemic era has had both good and negative effects. Lastly, education during an outbreak must be seen as a community effort by the government, teachers, parents, and schools to improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning methods that use cell phones that have been hurt by the outbreak and make sure that students don't fall behind.

Abstract

Mastering English has become an essential ability for students in higher education, particularly at the university level. As a result of this, every university offers an English program for students in the faculty or language center. However, not every learner, such as those with visual impairments, can learn English quickly. Students with visual impairment are students who have a visual disability, such as low vision or blindness. Students with visual impairments require a particular approach to English learning. This situation pushes lecturers to modify specific instructional designs in order to promote classroom activities. Students’ characteristics, learning objectives, technique, and assessment are four crucial components to consider when building instructional design for students with visual impairment. The design should be modified to accommodate their full inclusion in the classroom. It is predicted that by providing instructional design for students with visual impairments, they will be able to comprehend the material and boost their motivation to learn English. The purpose of this paper was to better understand acceptable instructional design for students with visual impairment. This paper also includes case studies from an Inclusion English Class at a university level, where students with visual impairment and sighted students study together. By examining this subject, it is expected that every lecture recognizes the basic features of students with visual impairment and selects the appropriate instructional design to accommodate all of the students’ characteristics. Instructional design, vision impairment, and English learning are some of the terms used in this study.

Abstract

Speaking is an essential part of learning English. Speaking activities in class, on the other hand, provide a problem for students from various educational backgrounds, such as those from distant communities in Bengkayang, West Kalimantan. This study intends to investigate the speaking obstacles of students from Bengkayang, as these students frequently struggle when requested to practice in Speaking for Social Purposes (SFSP) lessons. This is a qualitative investigation. This study employed semi-structured interviews with seven Bengkayang students who had taken SFSP lessons to collect data. The collected data were examined using thematic analysis, in which the researcher analyzed and comprehended the thoughts or viewpoints expressed by the participants before categorizing the data based on their themes. The findings revealed some difficulties that the students encountered, such as a lack of self-confidence, pronunciation mistakes, and a lack of vocabulary. This study also offers students practical suggestions and strategies for overcoming some English-speaking challenges in comparable situations. Students can practice speaking using various media to overcome pronunciation issues. The Elsa app is one of the media options available to pupils. Students can read more books in English for fun to help with vocabulary issues. Future researchers can look into the speaking issues faced by other EFL students in other remote areas of Kalimantan or other large Indonesian islands to see if they are similar to those revealed in this study.

Abstract

Listening chances are frequently described in second language studies as the linguistic environment - the stage for SLA. The speakers of the target language and their speech to the L2 learners give linguistic input in the form of listening and interaction opportunities embedded in social and pedagogical circumstances. It has been observed that three major conditions are required for a person to learn a second language: (1) a learner who recognizes the need to learn the second language and is motivated to do so; (2) a speaker of the target language who knows it well enough to provide the learner with access to the spoken language and the support (such as simplification, repetition, and feedback) they require for learning it; and (3) a social setting that brings the learner in frequently enough and sustainably. Listening is necessary under two of these conditions and is thus an important way of language development, which is frequently disregarded in language instruction and research. To acquire the language, the learner must come to grasp the input and pay attention to the forms in the input. The more input pupils receive from listening, the richer their knowledge becomes, and the more fluent they become. It is up to educators to plan and arrange listening in such a way that it brings the learner into frequent and sustained contact with target language speakers to make language learning possible.

Abstract

This article describes and explains how Culler’s (1997) poetics in the study of literature can be used to gain literary competency for the teaching of literature in an English as a foreign language (EFL) environment. The use of this strategy is discussed using one of the most famous play scripts in American literature: Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Following Culler's poetics technique, the study focuses on one of the themes present in the play script: Willy Loman's (the main character) disappointments, which make up the majority of the story with a dramatic ending: Willy's decision to commit suicide. This article seeks to persuade EFL teachers who study literature to take Culler's side and use poetics as the beginning point for a literature study in order to increase their students’ literary ability.

Abstract

The escalating demand for shadow education in Indonesia gives rise to concerns regarding the calibre of instruction provided in institutions. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to compare how students perceive English language instruction in institutions and shadow education. This research employs semi-structured individual interviews as a methodological approach to gather comprehensive data regarding the experiences and perceptions of students. Students at the secondary level who possessed substantial experience with the English shadow education program comprised the participants. Students' perceptions of shadow teaching encompassed a variety of facets, including instructional materials, learning outcomes, instructional activities, instructors' instructional performance, and educational media, according to this study. In practical terms, the student's viewpoint regarding shadow education was predominantly favorable. Moreover, in light of the findings of this research, policymakers and education authorities must consider curricular and methodological reforms immediately to improve the efficacy of English instruction and the academic achievements of pupils following their preferences, needs, and concerns regarding shadow teaching.

Abstract

The language learning process promotes inclusivity by accounting for differences in intelligence regarding English as a foreign language between male and female pupils, which has a direct impact on their proficiency in language acquisition. The present study examines the gender-based disparity in language acquisition, concentrating on the English language competence of secondary school pupils. By examining the correlation between gender identity and English learning outcomes, this study seeks to fill a knowledge deficit regarding the inclusiveness of the language learning process. The researchers apply feminist stylistics and systemic functional linguistics to the analysis of written text products of high school pupils, which were gathered as part of an extensive data collection effort. Utilizing this analysis, they investigate how texts are constructed and scrutinize the impact of gender on the selection of linguistic structures. The results obtained from this research enhance our comprehension of disparities in language acquisition based on gender and provide valuable perspectives for the enhancement of language education methodologies that promote fairness and inclusivity for every student.
