Abstract

Drama is among English teaching and learning activities that can improve students' communication and speaking skills. However, only a few studies documented the integration between local culture and drama for English teaching and learning activities. This study aims at exploring the use of drama wayang in the English for Specific Purposes Speaking activities. A descriptive qualitative study was employed as the study design, with observation, documentation, and questionnaire as methods of data collection. The subjects of this study were first-semester university students from the Indonesian Language and Literature Department. Findings showed that students were enthusiastic about performing drama wayang and could perform it well. Furthermore, drama wayang can be integrated into English teaching and learning activities to improve activity variety and attract students’ interest in learning speaking. This study also implies that drama wayang can be developed into an ESP teaching method combined with Indonesia's local culture and serves as an innovative and contextual ESP teaching method.

The result reveals that the communication skills are already incorporated but still limited and the syllabus needs further revisions in order to meet the communication skills indicators.

Abstract

The need to think critically is essential in this era and people must be competent in analyzing, evaluating, and problem-solving to stay afloat. This study aims to know the level of postgraduate students' critical thinking beliefs and their performance in writing the research methodology section of the research proposal. The study was a mixed-method study in which the quantitative method was applied to calculate the level of critical thinking belief by using a questionnaire, and qualitative data to analyze the draft of postgraduate students’ writing.  The questionnaire was distributed to the participants (five EFL postgraduate students), and documentation of their final project was collected. The study found that the EFL postgraduate students’ critical thinking beliefs were on the level of valuing and less on confidence in critical thinking. The level of valuing critical thinking meant EFL postgraduate students realized that critical thinking is a crucial ability they should master. However, they cannot implement it consistently for their study or social problems in daily life. The result of the content analysis of writing (research methodology) varies widely: some students were proficient in communication and problem-solving, and some were not, and synthesizing abilities became the lowest achievement of students' skills in writing.

These students were grouped into experimental and control groups, 35 students each. The instrument used was a test administrated in the form of pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzed using SPSS 20, the statistical package for social science. The data were considered normal and homogenous. From the t-test, the result showed that the critical area was higher than 2.00. The tcount value from the post-test between the Experimental and Control class is 2.54, which undoubtedly lies within the critical area.

Abstract

Tourist Guiding is a compulsory subject that aims to prepare students to be a prospective Tour Guide (TG) with excellent English mastery, especially speaking. Two-year observation showed that the students have the low ability in speaking skills. They did not speak fluently because they lacked knowledge and vocabulary in tourist guiding. This study was a Classroom Action Research (CAR) which was carried out by implementing Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), as a dual-educational approach that uses additional languages to learn and teach both content and language, in an online Tourist Guiding class. Participated by 28 students, this research followed stages of CAR. Additionally, pre-test and post-test were conducted to investigate students’ different performances before and after CLIL was implemented, while questionnaires were distributed to obtain the data about the students’ voices about CLIL implementation. The findings revealed that the quality of teaching and learning in the Tourist Guiding class improved after the implementation of CLIL. In addition, CLIL could enhance both students’ language skills (especially speaking) and tourist guiding competency. Teachers should both understand the subject content very well and have a very good mastery of English so that CLIL can be implemented successfully.

Abstract

This research aims to identify online self-regulated learning strategies of EFL undergraduate students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research involved 81 EFL undergraduate students batch 2020 majoring in English Language Education in a private university in Indonesia. The Online Self-Regulated English Learning (OSEL) questionnaire adapted from (Zheng et al., 2016) was chosen as the instrument of this research. The questionnaire consists of 21 items. The findings reveal that EFL undergraduate students’ online self-regulated learning strategies employ five domains, namely (1) goal setting (M= 3.800, SD= 0.890), (2) environment structuring (M= 4.015, SD= 1.033), (3) task strategies and time management (M= 3.365, SD= 1.062), (4) help-seeking (M= 3.827, SD= 1.081), and (5) self-evaluation (M= 3.784, SD= 0.968). EFL undergraduate students also perform high self-regulated learning strategies in the domain of environment structuring, particularly in arranging and determining the right place that supports learning English. However, they have low self-regulated learning strategies in task strategies and time management domains, particularly in preparing questions when learning English. Further researchers are recommended to look into the relationship between the amount of time undergraduate students spend learning English and their self-regulated learning strategies.

Abstract

The study sought to uncover the English language barriers that tertiary students faced while studying their academic courses in Ethiopia. The survey involved 421 participants (72 in the pilot research and 349 in the main research). To collect the relevant data, the researchers used a mixed-method technique. The study used probabilistic and purposive sampling techniques to choose samples from the target populations. The findings indicated that students had difficulties (e.g., in academic reading, writing, listening, and speaking) in studying their academic courses in English. The participants also indicated that current English language courses failed to encourage first-year students to improve their academic language competency to continue their studies. This happened due to a lack of thorough examination of learners' needs before creating any language curriculum. As a result, needs analysis should be viewed as the first phase to examine learners’ academic language difficulties and design EAP syllabus that caters academic language requirements of the students both in the target and learning situations.

Abstract

In a debate, interruption is a vital element because its utterance carries a distinct meaning. This study aims to demonstrate the presence of assertive illocutionary acts in Joe Biden's interruptions in the 2020 First Presidential Debate by identifying the type of interruption and assertive function contained within each interruption. This study utilizes the theory of assertive illocutionary acts by Searle and interruptions by Ferguson. The data were derived from Joe Biden's remarks in the 2020 First Presidential Debate. The results indicate that Joe Biden's interruption contains all functions of assertive illocutionary acts that aid in communicating the meaning of his utterances. The outcomes reveal that Joe Biden performed 21 interruptions, with the most parts being overlap interruptions (13 times), followed by simple interruptions (6 times), and the fewest being butting-in interruptions (2 times). In the interruption conducted by Joe Biden, assertive illocutionary speech acts were found with stating being the most dominant type (11 times), followed by claiming (5 times), complaining (2 times), reporting (1 time), explaining (1 time), and suggesting (1 time).
