Abstract

The case study is intended to describe how Core Values, Vision, and Mission of English Education Department in Widya Mandala Catholic University’s Graduate School (Magister Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris or “MPBI”) are translated into the syllabi (prescribed curriculum) using the Value Sharing Model as the framework and Actor Network Theory (ANT) to explain the process within this framework. The research questions are: first, do the course syllabi reflect the Vision, Mission and Core Values of MPBI? And second, how the vision, mission and core values are translated into the prescribed curriculum (syllabi)? This study was conducted by analyzing the syllabi using document analysis parameters and triangulated by conducting interviews to some lecturers and students in MPBI-19. The results are: first, the syllabi were reflecting the core values, vision and mission statements. Second, there are four ways to deliver values. Third, syllabus should be seen as a part of a curriculum not as a separated unit of course. Fourth, all courses are crystallized in Teaching Practice course (in practical term) and Thesis Writing (in theoretical form). The suggestions were: first, using a generalized format of syllabus to help lecturers state their values explicitly. Second, there are opportunities to research further the same topic in the scope of enacted curriculum. And third, lecturers should maintain their internalization processes.

At the same time, awareness has also increased of the benefits of student-student cooperation, and technology to facilitate that cooperation has multiplied. Unfortunately, not all students have access to that technology. This article shares ideas, both low-tech and high-tech, to enhance the functioning of groups in virtual learning environments.

Abstract

While researchers have begun to clarify the status of L2 writing studies, past bibliometric assessments of L2 writing research may still designate it as a field of applied linguistics.  They sought the topic of L2 writing in key databases and journals, retrieved relevant publications, and ran a bibliometric analysis.  They might increase the number of papers for review, but they undermine the value and influence of specialist publications, notably the flagship journal of L2 writing.  The goal of this study was to undertake a bibliometric analysis of 656 publications published in the Journal of Second Language Writing from 2002 to June 2021, retrieved from WoS and based on HistCite Pro.  The HistCite graph marker indicated 30 articles as nodes and 59 combinations of nodes as links.  Four out of the five clusters on the citation map originated in 2003, demonstrating that major research issues emerged in the year and took root in subsequent studies.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop alternative English-speaking testing to be used during the COVID-19 pandemic. A semi-direct speaking test for 4 graders was the final product of this study. Cambridge curriculum with the ESL framework (0837) was used to formulate the test. It was designed using steps suggested by (Bachman and Palmer,1996). It also has been reviewed by an expert and a trial group. It asked each test-taker to tell a story using provided picture series, connectors, and past verbs within 5 minutes. A minute was given for them to study the picture series; the rest was to do the test. It was delivered by using video conferencing called Zoom. The result showed that the test developed was a valid, reliable, practical, and authentic measurement. Its reliability was proved by test-retest and interrater results. Its validity, practicality, and authenticity were proved by providing an expert judgement collected through questionnaires.
