Abstract

The integration of assessment tools with technology can lead to numerous benefits, such as improving the efficiency and practicality of the assessment process and its results. Therefore, this study aimed to map the types of online grading systems in EFL testing classrooms and also determine the challenges faced by users, including EFL lecturers and students. This study involved 10 EFL lecturers and 15 students of the English Education Department of IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo, and the instruments used for data collection were observation sheets and a questionnaire. A minimum of 52 online grading systems were accessible through websites and these tools were assessed using instruments produced by the study team to identify any tools that could be employed in the context of language learning, particularly in terms of evaluation. Based on the results, 16 tools were identified for use in the language evaluation process. These included (1) Mentimeter, (2) AnswerGarden, (3) Blooket, (4) Gimkit, (5) Crowdsignal, (6) Google Formulir, (7) Kahoot, (8) Socrative, (9) Quizizz, (10) EdPuzzle, (11) Formative, (12) Floop, (13) JoeZoo, (14) EasyTestMaker, (15) Quia Web, and (16) Edmodo. Furthermore, 5 main components in terms of the challenges faced by EFL lecturers and students in applying these online grading systems in the learning process were identified. These components included preparing to conduct an online assessment, organization of questions, internet connection issues, the use of a device, and controlling a plagiarism/cheating issue.

Abstract

This research aims to find out students' perspectives and reflection regarding speaking skills in higher education.  This research was conducted by involving 33 students from the batch of 2020 and 2021 in one of private universities in Batam. A case study design was employed by applying questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to collect the data. This research found that there were three categories which were the factors contributing to students' speaking anxiety in post-pandemic era. Those factors were communication apprehension, fear of negative evaluation, and test anxiety. In addition, to overcome their speaking anxiety, they used the methods of self-communication, self-healing, restarting the speech, and switching the language, while also learning and practicing in their effort to overcome their speaking anxiety. It is crucial to note that environment is also one of factors that affects students’ motivation in speaking skills. Hence, the lecturers hopefully can choose appropriate strategies to enhance students’ speaking skills, manage classroom environment well, and give positive reinforcement to students.

Abstract

In EFL classrooms, each teacher is expected to be able to act professionally in teaching and assessing the students through the ability to control emotions. However, studies that capture such phenomenon are lacking. This study investigated the narratives of Indonesian EFL teachers’ emotional geographies who conducted online assessments using 'Funtainment Assessment' in 'Grammar' classes. The study employed a narrative inquiry as the design by collecting individual in-depth interview data over four months. Findings unveiled five aspects that influenced changes in the participants' emotional geographies: physical, moral, sociocultural, professional, and political. Participants had a variety of attitudes in response to the emotions that arose when assessing the students' grammar competence online. Interestingly, the participants experienced continuous adaptation to the practice of negotiation to the emotional changes Thus, it did not distract the professional developments they had done through agentive actions. The study's empirical results also suggest that the 'emotional geography dimensions' contributed to future teachers' professional developme

Abstract

Although there is a growing consensus in research that literacy practices can inform growth in literacy competence, there remains a dearth of studies explaining what and how Indonesian college students interact with texts in off-campus contexts. The objectives of this study are two folds: (1) to identify types of literacy practices carried out by Indonesian undergraduate students; and (2) to study the differences in use of the literacy practices between high rating and low rating students. As many as 200 Indonesian undergraduate students participated in this study. They were asked to complete an online questionnaire of literacy practices and a self-assessment. Principal Component Analysis were employed to analyze data for the first research question. T-test analysis was performed to answer the second research question. We found that there are 8 factors treated as posteriori categories of students’ literacy practices off campus, including professional-related literacy practices, academic-related literacy practices, knowledge-generating literacy practices, self-regulated literacy practices, leisure literacy practices, transactional literacy practices, and course-related literacy practices.. The t-test analysis showed that there are significant differences in use of literacy practices in the four first factors between high rating and low rating students. This is because high rating students typically engaged in reading and writing activities that support success of their college program. These findings indicate that determining effective interventions is pivotal to improve literacy skills of Indonesian college students that tap into their structure of literacy practices out of campus.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the learning needs of students at SMP Muhamadiyah 3 Depok and the main concern of researcher is analyze the alignment between student learning needs and the learning model applied by teachers. Knowing students' learning needs and using appropriate learning models in the classroom is very important in supporting students to achieve learning objectives. The method used in this research is case study. The data were collected by interview and observation. The structure interview distributed to six students from two different VIII classes in the 2023/2024 academic year students and two teachers. Data analysis techniques in this study used narrative analysis. The findings of this research shows that that students' English language skills are still at A1 or Pre-A1 level and face problems such as regular and irregular verbs, spelling, pronunciation, lack of vocabulary, self-confidence speaking in English, limited learning resources, and lack of motivation in learning English. Furthermore, regarding to their learning needs, they wanted more practical learning in English such as speaking English, prefer teaching materials related to fiction and storytelling, and prefer to learn using a combination of learning media such as pictures and videos rather than just using books and worksheets. While, the implementation of the learning model, in this case, did not align with the students' needs, and the teacher still used the lecture method and teacher centers which made students less motivated and contributed during the learning process. Therefore, based on the research findings, it is recommended that teachers have a good understanding of what students need in their learning so the teacher can implement the appropriate model learning that facilitates their learning and able to achieve the learning objectives.

Abstract

Metaphor is a part of human cognition that plays an important role in human knowledge and experience. This study aims at examining novel metaphors based on the metaphorical language used by Indonesia’s state leader, President Joko Widodo, in his speeches on COVID-19 and their functions for pandemic handling and post-pandemic preparednessin Indonesia. Data were speeches produced during the first and second waves of the pandemic and taken from official website of Cabinet Secretariat of the Republic of Indonesia. The metaphors identified in the speeches were analysed using Critical Metaphor Analysis proposed by Charteris-Black (2004, 2011, 2021). The identified novel metaphors were categorized under the following seven source domains: breakfast, computer, crater, test, teacher, momentum, wheel, and fire. The identified metaphors could be classified into three types of novel metaphor: linguistic structural metaphors, metaphors with new target domains, and new mapping metaphors. Results of analysis revealed that the metaphors of examination/test, teacher, and fire were high in frequency. As for the function, those novel metaphors could be interpreted as  Jokowi's way to reflect changing realities and motivate actions. Overall, the use of metaphors implied Jokowi's priority responses toward pandemic, i.e. to persuade the importance of solidarity and collectivity, strong sense of perseverance and resilience, as well as mutual cooperation. This study is expected to give insight that government leadersemploy metaphors as appropriate to situational context as the metaphors they can be effective in shaping public opinion and winning public support for health measures and policymaking in time of crises.

Abstract

Investigating the issue of students' silence is essential since it is considered to discourage students from actively participating in the teaching and learning process. Students’ silence has been investigated from a variety of angles. Nonetheless, there has not been any discussion of EFL students' silence regarding their identities in the Indonesian context yet. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the factors that influenced the students’ silence in the EFL classroom and the identities that they constructed during the period of silence. To reach the objectives, a qualitative approach was employed. Five students studying English in an English skill class at a university in Aceh participated in this study. The data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. The results of this study show that four factors influenced the students’ silence, including being threatened with the presence of classmates or lecturers, being in a too silent class, a lack of comprehension of the studied material, and a lack of confidence. Furthermore, the findings also reveal that the students formed multiple identities during the period of their silence in their EFL classes. The identities underwent development, shaping, and reshaping. This study provides a new insight that, beyond their silence, the students actually actively constructed their multiple identities.
