Abstract

The academic journey for advanced degree is challenging. It reflects the professional endeavours of those who take the route. This study explored life-stories of two EFL teachers who were pursuing their advanced degree (doctoral degree) for their career advancement.  The guiding question for this inquiry is related to the stories and challenges and the impacts of the challenges on the participants’ professional growth. The data were collected in the form of narratives from interviews with the two participants. Supporting documents related to the participants’ experiences were also collected. The data were analysed in the framework of critical event analysis. Thus, the life-stories of the participants were identified in terms of episodes and events. The major stories of challenges were identified by looking at the emerging themes. The transformation and changes in their professional identities were identified by looking at the critical events intertwining in the narratives. The narratives of the two participants indicated that the challenges they faced have contributed to their professional transformation as teachers and researchers.

Abstract

This paper has a twofold purpose: to raise awareness on the complexity of the acquisition of English derivational morphology, and to suggest ways to approach its teaching in the language classroom. Understanding morphology is important because of its impact on other areas of language; however, some authors posit that its explicit instruction is limited in schools. Based on a thorough but comprehensible description of English morphology, we present eight aspects that may be challenging for English Language Learners followed by pedagogical strategies to address them. This way, we hope to offer linguistic insights that can aid the teaching of English as a foreign language and close the gap between linguistic research and the classroom setting.

Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of project-based learning in enhancing students' understanding abilities in the context of English language learning. Many students face challenges in achieving high levels of proficiency in comprehending written texts. To address this issue, the study explores the impact of project-based learning, which involves authentic tasks, on improving students' overall comprehension skills. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, the study was conducted with eighth-grade students at a junior high school in Surabaya, East Java. The experimental group received instruction in Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR), while the control group engaged in Project-Based Learning (PBL). The objective of this investigation was to assess the efficacy of project-based learning in fostering students' comprehension skills through rigorous statistical analysis. The findings reveal a positive influence of project-based learning on students' understanding levels. These results suggest that project-based learning is a recommended approach for teaching language skills, enabling students to enhance their comprehension abilities through engagement in authentic project tasks.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the type and the factors of interference that occur in EFL students' writing. This research used a qualitative method with a case study research design in this study. The subjects of this study consisted of one writing skills teacher and 6 grade 3 students from the Aphrodite English Club. In collecting data, there are three research instruments used, i.e., observation, documentation analysis, and interviews. Then, the data will be analysed using three ways of data reduction, presenting the data in tabular and transcript form and the last step is making conclusions. The results showed that the type of interference often occurs in EFL students is interlingual interference; students make many grammars error that occurs because of the influence of the structure of the first language on the target language. In intralingual interference, students made many mistakes in incomplete language structures, including the absence of appropriate sentence prepositions. Two factors are behind interference, i.e., the internalisation of culture and the student's lack of motivation to study writing in English.
