Abstract

Writing, one of the language skills, is considered difficult for some students, especially EFL students. The present research, a phenomenological study, aims to find out the students’ difficulties, the factors affecting their difficulties, and the strategies for overcoming their difficulties in writing expository essays. The participants were three students, taken by using purposive sampling, in a private university in Surabaya. The instruments used in this research were observational fieldnotes, rubrics, Focus Group Discussion guidelines, and Interview protocols. The research findings show that the research participants had difficulties in the five components of writing, namely content, vocabulary, language use, mechanics, and organization. The common difficulties the participants faced were related to word choice, finding and developing ideas, verb tense, run-on sentences, spelling, punctuation, and writing the thesis statements and topic sentences. There were internal and external factors that affected their difficulties, but most of the factors were internal. The most common factors were that the participants did the assignments at the last minute or in a hurry, felt sleepy and lazy, and were afraid of plagiarism. Some ways of overcoming their difficulties were finding more ideas and materials on the Internet, discussing the topic and content with their friends and lecturers, writing the ideas in Indonesian before translating them into English, using common vocabulary, learning new vocabulary, finding the opposites and synonyms of some words, doing paraphrase, using Grammar-checking tools, learning from the previous mistakes, paying more attention to the essay structure, making an outline, learning more basic English grammar, revising the mistakes based on the lecturer’s feedback, and listening to music when writing the essays.

Abstract

It has been a long-standing issue that EFL learners are required to consistently showcase gratifying target language performances, competencies, and achievements while taking part in a wide variety of second language learning activities without being prepared well with suitable and authentic learning materials. In response to this aforesaid issue, second language educators need to immerse EFL learners into critical cultural awareness to make them become more efficient target language users. This present small-scale library study was projected to profoundly investigate the way critical cultural awareness can bridge globalized EFL learners’ target language knowledge discrepancy in actual second language learning contexts. To do so, the researcher conducted an in-depth thematic analysis of the previously generated research results addressed by 20 critical cultural awareness studies published worldwide. Concerning the specifically-obtained research results, critical cultural awareness can potentially become one of the worthwhile strategies to be further applied in nowadays second language circumstances by which EFL learners foster their target language competencies to the desired outcomes and transform into more skillful target language users.

Abstract

As communication technology develops, online learning grows significantly. However, online physics learning still faces constraints related to incorporating laboratory work. This paper reports on implementing the Arduino-assisted 5E learning model in physics online learning. The learning phase consists of engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, and evaluation. The learning strategy includes Arduino-based hands-on physics experiments conducted by students at home. The learning model is implemented in a class consisted ten college students majoring in physics education. We also investigate the effect of the learning model on improving students' understanding of thermal physics. Our study shows that students' understanding of thermal physics improves moderately, with an average N-gain of 0.56.

Abstract

Heutagogy is an educational approach that focuses on self-determined learning and the development of learner capabilities. It places the learner as the primary agent in their own learning process, emphasizing personal experience and independent exploration. In spite of the close relationship between heutagogy and Merdeka curriculum, not many Indonesian teachers are aware of heutagogy. Therefore, this study was addressing specifically how the teachers in Indonesia perceived heutagogy in teaching and learning process. The study involved collecting and analysing non-numerical data that was the results of a survey in the Google form distributed by the writer. The respondents of this study were twenty teachers of IIS SMP Progressive Bumi Shalawat. The survey results showed that most of the teachers as the participants in the study were not really aware of Heutagogy terminology although they had ideas about self-determinism, life-long learning, capability, double-loop learning, and self-reflection. Moreover, the survey results revealed that the respondents in this study were very interested in the concept of heutagogy. Hence, this study focused on the teacher's perceptions of heutagogy in learning practices.

Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT), with its social media platforms, is essential in the education field. This study aimed to discover ICT and its social media platforms used by Indonesian EFL undergraduate students to improve their English. This study was conducted to answer three research questions; (1) What ICT tools do Indonesian EFL undergraduate students use the most to improve their English? (2) What social media platforms (SMP) do Indonesian EFL undergraduate students use the most to improve their English? (3) Why do Indonesian EFL undergraduate students use social media platforms to improve their English? The mixed-method was adopted. The findings revealed that 60% of the participants were using phones at home and 71% using phones in the classrooms. Regarding social media platforms; Google was the first preferred search engine (M = 4.74, SD = .443), YouTube was the second (M = 4.49, SD = .781), TikTok (M = 3.51, SD = 1.442) and Instagram (M = 3.51, SD = .951) were the third preferred social media platforms to improve English. The participants affirmed that using phones is effective to improve English at home and in the classroom. Google, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram are the common and easiest platforms that are helpful in empowering English. Based on the findings this study recommends that language teachers should adopt these ICT tools to improve students’ level of using ICT and its media platforms. The future researchers could undertake extensive research on the same topic to involve more EFL students from different universities to figure out more representative findings. The implications of this study are discussed.
