Abstract

Textbooks are essential for teaching and learning English. Cultural material is important in English textbooks since language and culture are inseparably linked. Curriculum changes are common in the Indonesian educational system, prompting textbook modifications, including those for English language materials. Recognizing that each textbook has unique advantages and limitations, this study investigates the cultural categories offered in the English textbook BRIGHT. It also tries to determine the primary cultural characteristics featured in this textbook. The study used a content analysis methodology, which involved carefully reviewing the textbook's material using an observation sheet. This study utilizes a qualitative design, focusing on textbook content analysis and documenting results as percentages. The findings show that the textbook focuses on source cultures with insufficient representation of target cultures. This limited representation emphasizes the need for better equal incorporation of cultural elements. The textbook is considered appropriate for Indonesian students since it follows important standards that advocate for the inclusion of both source and target cultures, making the material more relevant and improving cultural understanding and language abilities required for global communication.

Abstract

The usefulness of formative assessment in a teaching process is widely recognized, but there hasn’t been much attention paid on examining teachers’ literacy in formative assessment. Therefore, this study aims to investigate teacher’s literacy of formative assessment, namely conceptual, practical, and socio-emotional dimensions. The study employed a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interview that was adapted from Yan & Pastore (2022b) to collect data from two English private primary school teachers. Thematic analysis by Miles & Hubberman (1994) was applied to examine the interview data. The findings indicated that the teachers possess a significant literacy in formative assessment. They provided a comprehensive explanation of their understanding, practices, and beliefs regarding formative assessment. Conceptually, they demonstrate a solid grasp of formative assessment principles. Practically, they effectively implement key strategies associated with formative assessment. Socio-emotionally, they exhibit a positive attitude towards formative assessment, recognizing its impact and highlighting the significance of fostering a mutual understanding between teachers and students. This paper offers valuable insights, enhances understanding, and provides a foundation for assessment courses and professional development.

Abstract

This quasi-experimental study examined the effectiveness of using English songs to teach writing skills to tenth-grade students at a Jakarta high school. The study involved 68 students over two classes. One class was given the song-based instruction as the experimental group, while the other class functioned as the control group. Both classes had pre-tests and post-tests to evaluate the impact of the treatment. Using IBM SPSS Statistics, the experimental class improved their average scores by 7.56 points compared to 4.59 points in the control group. The data revealed that the 2-tailed significance is p (0.039), while the alpha significance (α) is 0.05. Thus, since 0.039 is less than 0.05, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, and the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. These findings indicate that the use of song into writing class could be a useful method for improving student performance.

Abstract

English language skills, especially speaking and writing, are essential since it can help the students to express their ideas and thoughts. However, developing these skills takes work and require serious effort. The combination of technology and technology-mediated task-based learning (TBLT) is a suitable formula to improve speaking and writing skills, especially for students in elementary schools. This is a mixed-method study where qualitative and quantitative approaches complement each other. A total of 56 4th-grade elementary school students who were divided into experimental groups (n-28) and control groups (n-28) became participants in this study. The data collection techniques used were tests, observation, and interviews. Meanwhile, for data analysis, this study used statistical analysis for quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data. The results indicate that the use of technology-mediated task-based learning had an effect on students' speaking and writing skills. This can be seen from the statistical test results of Asymp. Sig two-tailed (0.037) that is lower than 0.05. In addition, using Technology-mediated task-based learning has several advantages, including creating exciting learning and increasing students' engagement. However, several challenges must also be considered, including teacher creativity in designing and the need for students to adapt to the implemented design.

Abstract

Reading is one of the English skills that has a significant role in helping students acquire English better and succeed in the academic field. Unfortunately, most students still struggle with reading comprehension, especially descriptive text. The students can still not scan what descriptive text tells about, although they have read it repetitively. This study is proposed to discover students’ difficulties in reading descriptive text. The method is qualitative design with 35 subjects. The data were collected through interviews and observation. The result of this study showed that the difficulties in reading comprehension faced by students are due to the fact that the length of the text can frustrate students to grasp the meaning. Secondly, there is a lack of vocabulary mastery; most students are poor in vocabulary mastery and face difficulty gaining information on descriptive text when they find unfamiliar words. Thirdly, when reading without strategies, most students only read the text without implementing the appropriate methods to comprehend it better. Fourthly, there is a lack of prior knowledge: most students do not have background knowledge of the topic they read. Lastly, limited reading practice, since students only practice reading when English subjects have limited reading references.
