Abstract

ABSTRACT            It is of clear importance for EFL teachers to better regulate their emotions while facing multivariate classroom vicinities offering undeniable uniqueness possessed by each learner. As a contradictory, EFL teachers frequently undergo emotional impairs during engaging in their vocation as burnout, emotional exhaustion, boredom, frustration, and reluctance. Responding to this serious teaching issue, emotional regulation strategies should be introduced earlier for EFL teachers in order to bring about positive teaching-learning influences for the whole school communities in terms of enjoyable learning activities, spirited learners, committed educators, and a solid rapport established among educational boards. This current study attempted to probe more profoundly on tangible emotional regulation strategies implemented by EFL teachers teaching in distinctive school institutions. One research problem was formulated in this study namely, what are the specific strategies EFL Teachers apply to regulate their emotions in second language learning contexts? This qualitative study utilized narrative inquiry to better obtain more obvious portrayals out of the teachers’ real-time experiences of managing their emotional states for particular teaching periods. The findings of this study displayed that the diminution of EFL teachers’ negative emotions will enable learners to achieve their gratifying learning outcomes and retain teachers to survive longer in their current vocation.

This study employs descriptive qualitative design. The results show that movies are perceived to improve the conversational competence of porter students in a vocational high school. Movies facilitate the students’ understanding of verbal and non-verbal conversational competence in the target situation of the job they will encounter as a porter. The multimodal aspects help the students to master the conversational competence needed to be a porter as reflected on the movies. Therefore, movies along with their multimodal aspects are worthy for teaching conversational competence to porter students.

Abstract

Recently conflict among university students has become common phenomenon at higher education around Indonesia. Makassar is considered one of the prone conflict areas which can destroy campus academic life as scientific institution where students are expected to be able to become more educative, more human, more democratic and more harmonious people around the society.  This study aims at exploring  the causes of the conflict happened at the university students in South Sulawesi, the efforts done by the tertiary institution in overcoming students conflict, the potential of applying multicultural  education, and finding out the model of students resolution conflict based on multicultural education approach. This research applied qualitative approach by using likert-scale questionnaire, in-depth interview and Focus Group Discussion (FGD), observation,  documentation and videoing to get data.   The obtained data are analyzed qualitatively and percentage based on the likert scale; data display, data reduction, data interpretation, and data conclusion. The result of the study demonstrated that most of the students’ conflicts are dealing with inequality, lack of intercultural understanding, and a very limited space for ethnic and individual expressions as part of academic society. This leads to potentially open a space for applying multicultural education as an alternative model for mental revolution in teaching Intercultural Communication to university students.

Then, data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion were conducted to analyze the data.

Most of the problems came from the students' participation, internet connection, and material delivering. As a result, it encouraged the teachers to seek and implement certain strategies that were appropriate to cope with these problems. They applied several online teaching strategies to solve the problems in managing online learning through Google Classroom, that is, by facilitating students with WhatsApp group to communicate with them, meeting the students who did not have smartphone directly at school, adapting the materials from several  references, giving assignment in a simple way, encouraging the students with reward and punishment, and coordinating to each homeroom teacher.

Abstract

The present study explores the perceptions of EFL teachers in higher education on the role of handheld networked devices in promoting autonomous learning. In this project 43 male teachers from King Abdulaziz University (KAU) and the University of Jeddah (UJ) in Saudi Arabia (KSA) responded to a survey. Qualitative data, on the other hand, was gathered through a silent interview where informants answered five open-ended questions related to study’s research questions. The findings revealed the participants value the usefulness of smartphones in enhancing autonomy in language learning. They were also of the view that smartphones have beneficial characteristics when used in actual classroom. In addition, the results show that most of the participants are for a purposeful and guided integration of this type of technology in order to help learners develop the required linguistic and extra-linguistic skills. Equally important was the finding that use the of smartphones along well-developed L2 learning applications in language learning cannot replace the teachers’ vital and crucial role in the whole learning process.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore teachers' perceptions of the implementation of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in English language classrooms. Specifically, it attempted to explore: (1) teachers’ understanding of HOTS, (2) teachers’ perceptions of the implementation of HOTS in EFL classrooms, and (3) teachers’ perceived obstacles in the implementation of HOTS. The research used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Five English language teachers at a senior high school in Jambi Province, Indonesia participated in this study. Semi-structured interviews were employed to collect the data. The data were analyzed following Miles and Huberman's (1994) qualitative data analysis procedures. The results revealed that all participants had a good understanding of the concept of HOTS. The definitions of HOTS given by all the participants were related to the sub-skills of Bloom's Taxonomy. All the participants have also implemented HOTS in the English language teaching and learning process. However, the implementation has yet to be effective due to some obstacles, which include students' low English proficiency, teachers' lack of competencies, and limited supporting facilities such as internet access, learning media, and learning sources.
