Abstract

The objective of this study is to assess the proficiency of students' critical thinking skills in composing analytical exposition texts, as well as to examine their perceptions regarding the development of critical thinking skills in this particular writing genre. The research employed a descriptive qualitative methodology, utilizing data gathering instruments such as observations and interviews. A study was undertaken at SMA Negeri 4 Gowa Regency during the academic year of 2021/2022. The participants in this study consisted of 30 students enrolled in the class XI MIA 3 during the second semester. However, for the purpose of data collection, the researchers selected a subset of 15 students by purposive sampling for interviews. The findings of this study suggest that students frequently commit errors when it comes to utilizing generic structures and language elements in their written analytic exposition texts. Based on the identified faults, the researcher saw that a majority of the students exhibited deficiencies in adhering to the prescribed guidelines of the analytical exposition text. Furthermore, it was noted that critical thinking skills were not adequately incorporated in the writing sessions conducted within this particular class. The observed phenomenon can be attributed to the insufficient comprehension and instruction provided to students within the educational setting, hindering the development of critical skills. Additionally, the absence of thought-provoking inquiries posed by educators may impede students' progress in enhancing their critical thinking abilities. Based on the analysis and observations conducted, the researcher has reached the conclusion that the students of class XI MIA 3 at SMA Negeri 4 Kabupaten Gowa demonstrate a moderate degree of critical thinking skills, as assessed by the critical thinking characteristics outlined by Facione (Facione, 2013).

Abstract

This study explored the integration of cultural components in speaking skills instruction at SMAN 3 Pangkalpinang. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, data was sourced from a questionnaire given to 130 students and interviews with two teachers. Secondary data was extracted from documentation. Multiple cultural components were identified as beneficial for speaking instruction, including intellectual values, lifestyle behaviors, media, artistic values, family, minor values, major values, and formal values. These components exhibited mutual support, rendering them inseparable. Both educators and students acknowledged the effectiveness of integrating these components in enhancing English oral proficiency. The intertwined nature of the cultural components suggests a need for a holistic approach to language instruction, emphasizing both linguistic and cultural elements. Educational institutions should consider adapting their curricula to incorporate these components, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of language and its associated cultural nuances. Furthermore, educators require training to effectively weave these components into their teaching strategies. The unanimous positive feedback indicates that such integration not only bolsters linguistic capabilities but also enriches overall communication skills. Incorporating cultural components into language instruction presents a promising strategy for enhancing speaking skills, with significant implications for curriculum design, pedagogical approaches, and improved language outcomes.

Abstract

This study focuses on the instructional strategies employed by experienced teachers to teach reading comprehension to non-readers in the Namibian upper primary phase within mainstream classrooms. Existing literature suggests that the support provided by experienced teachers is critical for non-readers. However, little is known about the specific strategies used by primary school ESL (English as a Second Language) teachers in Namibia for this purpose. To address this gap, the study utilized a qualitative approach with an exploratory case study design. Data was gathered through class observations and two stimulated recall interviews conducted before and after the observations. Five Grade 5 teachers in the Oshana region of Namibia were purposefully selected as participants. The findings reveal that the teachers employed various strategies to enhance reading comprehension among non-readers. Pre-reading activities involved activating non-readers’ linguistic schema using manipulatives, dictionaries, and glossaries to define new words. Linguistic resources such as flashcards, wall posters, real objects, and pictures were used to expand non-readers’ vocabulary knowledge. Instructional reinforcement strategies, like motivation, activation of prior knowledge through oral discussions, games related to the text, and discussions of reading comprehension rules, were also utilized to support non-readers’ comprehension. The findings hold value for Grade 5 ESL teachers, providing them with effective teaching strategies and opportunities for self-reflection when teaching reading comprehension to non-readers. Additionally, ESL subject advisors can benefit from understanding the needs of primary school non-readers in the Ompundja circuit, Oshana region, to offer appropriate support to upper primary phase ESL teachers in mainstream classes.

Abstract

This research focuses on analyze the occurrence of code-mixing and code-switching in Najwa Shihab's podcast episode entitled "Susahnya jadi Perempuan" (Catatan Najwa). The podcast episode discusses various challenges and experiences faced by women in society. This research aims to identify the types and how code-mixing and code-switching are used in the podcast. To achieve this, the authors used a qualitative descriptive method based on Muysken's theory and Poplack's theory.  The data were then categorized based on the types of code-mixing and code-switching, such as Insertion, Alternation, and Congruent Lexicalitation code-mixing as well as Inter-sentential switching, tag switching and Intra-sentential switching. The data obtained from this podcast amounted to 87 data. The results are as follows; there are 62 code mix data consisting of 46 (74%) insertion data, 10 (16%) alternation data, and 6 (10%) congruent lexicalization data. Furthermore, there were 25 code switching data found, which consisted of 9 (36%) inter-sentential switching data, 3 (12%) tag switching data, and 13 (52%) intra-sentential switching data. The authors found that the use of code-mixing and code-switching in this podcast was greatly influenced by the person, such as, the social environment of Najwa and her guest stars. A notable finding from the research is the evident influence of the speakers' social environment on their linguistic choices. Specifically, the interactions between Najwa and her guest stars, coupled with the thematic content of the episode, played a pivotal role in shaping the patterns of code-mixing and code-switching observed. This expanded research offers a deeper understanding of the dynamic interplay of languages in contemporary media formats, emphasizing the significance of sociolinguistic factors in shaping linguistic choices. The study not only contributes to the existing body of knowledge on code-mixing and code-switching but also underscores the importance of analyzing modern mediums to capture the evolving nature of linguistic practices.

Abstract

Educational methodologies have continually evolved to accommodate the diverse needs of learners. One such evolution has seen the rise of game-based learning, aiming to make education more interactive and engaging. This research focused on determining the efficacy of the Jeopardy game in enhancing the understanding of the simple present tense among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 7 Sungai Ambawang during the Academic Year 2022/2023. Using a pre-experimental research design, this study delved into the potential advantages of game-based learning over traditional teaching methods. A sample size of 25 students from class VII A was meticulously chosen to ensure the results' consistency and accuracy. To measure the students' grasp of the simple present tense both before and after the Jeopardy game intervention, a multiple-choice test, consisting of 20 items, was administered. Each item in the test offered four options (a, b, c, and d) for students to choose from. Statistical analysis of the gathered data resulted in compelling outcomes. The null hypothesis (H0), which posited that the Jeopardy game would have no significant impact on the students' understanding of the simple present tense, was soundly rejected. In contrast, the alternative hypothesis (Ha), suggesting the game's effectiveness, was accepted. This conclusion was bolstered by a notable t-value of 9.62, surpassing the critical t-table value of 2.064 at 24 degrees of freedom with a 5% significance level. Furthermore, the study highlighted a strong effect size of 1.9, indicating the game's substantial impact on learning.

Abstract

This article seeks to address the contribution of teaching and learning written comprehension in the new perspective of post-fundamental education recently implemented in Burundi. The students do not understand the message conveyed in the text and have missed the main thrust of the text. This problematic raised led us to ask questions and make possible hypotheses. Among the obstacles to reading comprehension are a lack of vocabulary, linguistic and semantic knowledge, and so on. To make our work effective, we used the questionnaire method, addressed to teachers of the 3rd post-fundamental language in Bujumbura town hall. Another scientific method used was the observation method, which consists in verifying the practical realities of teacher-learner interactions, as well as the methodological approaches implemented in a text lesson. To analyze the results obtained, the quantitative method was used. This method of analysis enables us to arrive at results which stipulate that learners are unable to understand what is written due to a lack of vocabulary, syntactic and semantic knowledge, extralinguistic, problems in the classroom, methodology, lack of support notebooks and problems in reading books. On the whole, students experience difficulties in reading comprehension due to a lack of lexical, linguistic and literary mastery. In this research, we have identified the problems of developing written comprehension among students in the 3rd year of post-fundamental education. These obstacles are related to the lack of vocabulary, linguistic and extralinguistic semantic knowledge, and grammatical structures. These factors remain a hindrance for students in written comprehension.

Abstract

The psychosocial learning environments of English classes could determine students’ motivation to learn English because students spend much amount of time in English classrooms which are the primary setting in which English learning occurs. This study investigated the extent to which English classroom psychosocial learning environments influence students’ motivational intensity in English learning. A correlational research design was used to attain this purpose. Simple random sampling was utilized to select 371 samples from the population. The data were gathered through “What Is Happening In this Class” and Motivational Intensity questionnaires, and were analyzed using inferential statistics. The results showed that each aspect of the psychosocial learning environment was related to students’ motivational intensity significantly. Further, the influence of the set of six psychosocial environment aspects on students’ effort and engagement in learning English was significant. Three of the six aspects, namely, task orientation, student involvement, and teacher support accounted for the influence on students’ motivational intensity significantly. This implies that students exert greater effort and engage in learning English when they are provided with a more task-oriented classroom environment, opportunities to be involved in the learning process, and adequate support from their English teachers. Therefore, the psychosocial environments of English classes need improvement to boost students’ motivation to learn English. In particular, the learning environment aspects of task orientation, student involvement, and teacher support play a vital role in motivating students to learn English.
