The research used the qualitative method. The data was collected from 33 students in the 7b class and ten selected students based on their descriptive English writing text.

The result showed that the difficulties of descriptive writing are spelling, tenses, punctuation, sentence pattern, pronoun, conjunction, and preposition.

Abstract

This study aims to identify preferred aspects in creating digital-based learning materials for Creative Writing students in the COVID-19 pandemic situation. The lack of direct interaction with the lecturer and actual classroom causes them to be less enthusiastic about learning. Thus, a suitable composition of digital media is needed to solve the respective students' problems. Interactive, flexible, helpful, and easy to access are the key points of the composition. It may provide audio and video that help students to enhance their comprehension. The researchers use a descriptive qualitative approach regarding students' preferences to expose the actual data. The result shows that 89,7% of students prefer asynchronous, interactive, and flexible digital video available online as it allows them to get the virtual presence of the teacher and go through the material repeatedly. This particular media must be equipped with a microblogging platform for discussion, such as WhatsApp Group. The video-based media also provides a solution since internet connection has always been an obstacle for students holding classes with synchronized video conferencing.

Employing a descriptive qualitative method, an open-ended questionnaire administered to 103 senior high school students. The result of the study showed that the majority of the students admitted that they have a positive perspective in using YouTube as a media to improve their vocabulary.

Abstract

Motivation has been considered the most contributing factor to the success of language learning. Motivation has some factors that affect the high or low scale of the motivation. Parents' support, for instance, claimed that parents involve the students' motivation, then what if the students who do not have parents or called as the orphan? This study scrutinizes the comparison of the orphan and non orphan student’s motivation.The design of this study was quantitative design, in which the study examined the difference between orphan and non-orphan students in terms of motivation in learning English as measured by questionnaire response scores. An Independent t-test was computed to answer research question. The participants involved in this study were a hundred students from the secondary level, including junior high school (n=66) and senior high school (n=34) participating in this study fifty (n=50) the students were orphans, and fifty (n=50) others were non-orphan.The result of the research question demonstrates that non-orphan Indonesian EFL  learners had higher individual motivation and social motivation in learning English compared to orphan learners for individual motivation and social motivation. Since, the orphan has a lower motivation, the reasons for that phenomenon can be a potential further study.

Abstract

Lexis or vocabulary is one of the important components of the language. Without knowing the vocabulary, learners of a language cannot be able to understand the language itself because vocabulary establishes the frame of language. It is important for learners to enhance their lexical knowledge. Morphological awareness has significant role on the lexical knowledge. This study aims to find out the correlation between morphological awareness and lexical knowledge among Indonesian EFL learners who possess Indonesian language as their first language. Indonesian is an agglutinative language which relies much on prefix and suffix. This study employs quantitative approach with correlation statistics design. The participants of this study are 89 first-year students of English Language Education Program Universitas Brawijaya. The findings revealed that the majority of the participants are in the medium level of morphological awareness and lexical knowledge. The findings show that there is a significant correlation between morphological awareness and lexical knowledge with .842 correlation degrees. Learners with high morphological awareness will have high lexical knowledge. The relationship applies in Indonesian EFL learners who possess Indonesian language as their first language that belongs to agglutinative language which contains several morphemes per word. It is suggested for the future researchers to look greater depth into morphological awareness and lexical knowledge in causal relationship.
