Abstract

As a subject of learning, English also needs to be considered for its aspects. One of them is the assessment. Assessment of English should cover all language skills. The content to be taught involves this implicitly. A more detailed and uniqueness of the scores given to each student should reflect the student’s achievement in a certain cycle of learning. However, the way of reporting a student’s achievement doesn’t really imply all of the aspects. It is only reported as a single score with a very limited description verbally. This research, through its methodology, gathers some data related to the lack of student’s score description, starting from the parents’ questions about it until some experts’ comments on it. The answer is about reporting student’s achievement in the form that involves the aspects of teaching learning English in the classroom using a certain tool. This tool is made using some parameters including the basic competence, indicator of it, score range and the rubric. The final result is a complete description of student’s score for each cycle of language skill and description about the scores. This way, it is expected stake holder and the student can have a complete explanation of their assessment distinctively.

Abstract

This article has one theme and two parts. The theme is that we humans can do more and do it more enjoyably when we cooperate. The first part of the article explains eight principles from cooperative learning, a methodology that facilitates students learning in groups of two-four members, along with the learning they do with teachers and by studying on their own. The second part describes four cooperative learning techniques, as a way to bring to life the eight principles from the first part, and also to provide readers of the article with ready-made ideas for using cooperative learning in their own teaching. This article suggests that shorter cooperative learning activities can prepare students for doing projects, and that students can do shorter cooperative learning activities as part of the work they do on projects.

Abstract

TThis case study is aimed to find out far the curriculum in a teacher education institute has integrated these pedagogical competencies in both their prescribed and enacted curriculum using the Actor Network Theory (ANT). ANT is applied in this research to see the network formed in both the prescribed and enacted curriculum so as to find out how students master the pedagogical competencies in the coursenet of three investigated courses, namely Principles of English Language Teaching, Teaching Reading and Writing, and Teaching Listening and Speaking. Therefore, this research analyzes how the human and nonhuman entities influence each other in both prescribed and enacted curriculum in two perspectives: 1) to what extent are the pedagogical competencies intended for graduate students in TEFL program? 2) to what extent are the pedagogical competencies delivered to the graduate students in TEFL program?  The result of the study shows that most pedagogical competencies are delivered in the three investigated courses. Lecturers and students are human entities in the network formed in the courses while the nonhuman entities involved within the network are noises, light, class settings, and class location. Lecturers then become key actors that impact upon the actants–students– to act upon the translation process to master the pedagogical competencies. As for the non-human entities, they influence the learning atmosphere in which graduate students in TEFL are situated as they learn to master the pedagogical competencies. The coursenet formed within the three investigated courses have shown that evaluation and improvement need to be done by the education institution to enhance the quality of teachers’ education curriculum

Abstract

The COVID-19 situation causes a sudden and unexpected shift of face-to-face pedagogy to emergency remote teaching mode. In that transition, teachers often do not have enough space and time to explore various technology to support their teaching and learning practices that should be done flexibly in multiple places and times. In response, the primary purposes of this article are to introduce a technology tool called Screencast-O-Matic (SOM), its potentials, and possible practices of using SOM that EFL lecturers might adopt for their teaching and learning purposes, specifically in the current pandemic era. Some of the practices discussed in this paper are the use of SOM to: record a video lecturer on how to write a paper following an APA format, give video-based feedback to students’ work, make a digital video presentation, and be a digital mirror that helps students review their speaking performance before they do an actual video presentation. The discussions of the paper are supported by some of the authors’ actual experiences in using SOM in their classrooms, related research findings, and literature. Ideas for future research are presented.

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.
