Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of using movies to improve the listening skills of Saudi EFL students and their attitudes towards movie-based activities. A questionnaire was administered to 147 participants, 113 of whom were female and 34 of whom were male. The participants were divided into four age groups: 18-20 years, 21-25 years, 26-30 years, and above 30 years. Participants were required to have no history of hearing impairment or learning disabilities that may affect listening skills. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The results showed that movies had a positive impact on students' listening skills, and most participants had a positive attitude towards using movies as a learning tool. However, some challenges were also identified, such as finding appropriate movies and lacking guidance on effective movie use. The findings of this study have implications for English language teachers, providing insights into the benefits and challenges of using movies, and suggesting the need for training programs on incorporating movies into language teaching. Overall, this study contributes to understanding how technology-based tools like movies can enhance language learning outcomes.

Abstract

This research investigates the shooting incident involving Jayland Walker, an African American citizen, on June 27, 2022, resulting from a traffic violation in Akron, United States, and its subsequent coverage across major online media outlets such as CNN News, NBC News, and The Washington Post. Utilizing qualitative methods and drawing on Van Dijk's (1985) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) model, the study focuses on analysing the ideologies embedded in ten online news stories from June 2022 to August 2022. The findings highlight a discernible trend in the representation of Jayland Walker by CNN News and The Washington Post, where he is predominantly portrayed as a victim, with the police depicted negatively through strategic use of lexical elements and metaphors, underscoring the influence of media ownership ideologies in shaping news content. In contrast, NBC News maintains a more neutral stance, attributed to frequent changes in ownership. The research contributes theoretically to CDA, providing a conceptual framework for students engaged in critical discourse analysis studies, and offers insights into the complexities of media representation in incidents involving discrimination and police violence.

Abstract

Three types of online interaction: Learner-Instructor; Learner-Learner; and Learner-Content, were facilitated profoundly during the public speaking class in the massive open online course using the SPADA-DIKTI learning management system. This paper explores in-depth how the online interactions occurred, the challenges, and the students' responses toward the program. The classroom setting was done fully online during one semester that consisted of 16 meetings and was participated by 40 university students throughout Indonesia. The learner-content is the most dominant interaction since the course was conducted fully online and learners completed several assignments based on the timeline. There were enough portions for learner-instructor interaction via the conference meeting class and social media group chat that allowed students to consult with the instructor directly. Although there were peer activities related to assignments and assessments, learner-learner interaction is the least happening since it can only be controlled during online synchronous meetings. Despite the students' enthusiasm for joining the course, the course objectives were not completely achieved. Only 50 % of the students passed the course and managed to complete the course learning activities. Some issues related to the workload of assignments, student motivation, and autonomous learning attitude in online courses have become problems.

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the user experiences of Web-based Integrated Writing Assessment (WISSE) developed to help lecturers and learners provide and navigate feedback for academic writing in English. User experience is one of the crucial elements for product success and reception in Research and Development (R & D). Aspects of user experience highlighted in this study are web features, ease of use, and design. The participants involved were two lecturers and twenty-eight learners from the English Language Education and the English Literature study program at one of the prominent universities in Malang. At first, both learners and lecturers created a temporary account on the web prototype, and they were assigned two different roles: learners wrote and submitted a short argumentative essay on the application, and lecturers provided feedback on the essays through a personal comment box. At the end of the trial, both groups revealed their experience and inputs on the features, operation accessibility, and web design through questionnaires. To a large extent, both lecturers and learners were satisfied with the goal of the application to provide easy accessibility to assessing academic text. However, both groups agreed that more distinctive features should be added, along with a manual book and language switch feature, as it is attainable that the future users of WISSE will not be limited to EFL learners. The user trial results illustrate that while WISSE needs further development and revision, it exhibits proper performance and is prepared for large-scale use.

Abstract

The integration of technology within language classrooms is a pivotal facet of modern education. Due to this, this study aims to investigate the English lecturers’ views about the use of educational technology in English language classrooms and the English teachers’ implementation strategies about ICT integration into ELE programs in higher education. The study employs a qualitative research approach to facilitate an in-depth exploration and elucidation of its findings. The participants under scrutiny consisted of English lecturers affiliated with English language education study programs situated within private universities located in the West Nusa Tenggara region. The selection of participants was facilitated through the utilization of a convenient sampling method, which was deemed appropriate for the purposes of data collection in this study. In total, the study encompassed the involvement of 25 participants, and it is noteworthy to mention that the composition of this participant pool exhibited certain demographic characteristics. This study used semi-structured interview guidelines as the research instruments. The data analysis process encompassed several key stages, including data condensation, data display, and drawing conclusions. The research findings highlight a diverse landscape of ICT integration among English lecturers in private universities in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. While some educators demonstrate a propensity for innovative and multifaceted technology integration, others exhibit more conventional and hardware-focused approaches. It can be concluded that English lecturers have views about the technology use that should be optimized in the ICT integration within English language education programs.

Abstract

As the religious institution which focuses on religious teaching, however Pesantren began to incorporate English Language Teaching (ELT) in its curricula by doing some adjustments in line with the Pesantren context. This paper aims to examine English curriculum development at Pesantren Darussalam Blokagung Banyuwangi both in formal and informal institutions inside Pesantren. The incorporation of English Language Teaching (ELT) and the authority of the Pesantren leader in modifying the English curriculum according to the Pesantren context are discussed. The research is a qualitative research approach by employing a case study methodology. The data is collected through in- depth interviews of six participants, observations and documentation. The study reveals two curriculum facets: formal and informal. The formal curriculum aligns with the national school system, while the informal one encompasses English courses progressing from basic to advanced levels, an English language dormitory, and extracurriculars like news reading, storytelling, debate, and public speaking. The research concludes that Pesantren Darussalam effectively integrates English education to complement formal schooling. Yet, to enhance students' English skills and local awareness, ELT materials are needed to be tailored to the Pesantren context. This approach underscores the institution's adaptability and commitment to holistic education.

Abstract

Reading is a vital language skill that necessitates mastery for knowledge acquisition. However, the focus of students has shifted away from reading due to technological advancements. Despite this, the literacy levels of students in Indonesia are alarmingly low, ranking 74 out of 79 in the PISA Survey 2018. This study aimed to explore the integration of technology in educational settings. Specifically, by implementing a technology-based flipped classroom model, the researcher aimed to encourage and educate junior high school students on the constructive use of smartphones. The primary objective was to investigate whether the adoption of flipped classrooms, combined with technology utilization, could potentially enhance students' reading proficiency. To achieve this goal, an experimental research design was employed, comprising both an experimental group and a control group. Pre-tests and post-tests were conducted for both groups, with the experimental group receiving the flipped classroom intervention, while the control group experienced traditional classroom methods. The findings indicated that the experimental group exhibited superior performance compared to the control group.

Abstract

In research articles published for international reputable journals, the crucial role of abstracts to attract readers, especially reviewers or editors, is not in doubt. The article is expected to not experience direct desk rejection due to non-impressive and persuasive lexical choices in the abstract for further reading. This paper proposes a corpus study to scrutinize ideational grammatical metaphor (IGM) from the abstracts of successfully published articles in four applied linguistic quality indexed Scopus journals (Q1 and Q2) managed by Asian countries. The data were analyzed based on Halliday’s SFL framework focused on the realization of IGM in nominalization and lexical density. The pattern of IGM examined was on the transference of process and quality nominalization through morphological derivations. The findings show that the shift from process to thing dominates the other with many variations of suffixes within the words. In addition, the abstracts’ lexical density results ranged from 45 to 72 percent. Thus, it is suggested that English teachers consider raising students’ awareness of nominalization to produce lexically dense but informative texts in their academic writing classes.

Abstract

With the mushrooming popularity of extensive reading in language classrooms, teachers might be unaware that students are not only gaining linguistic inputs from their reading but also those related to non-linguistic ones, such as moral values. Frankly speaking, some values may suit their culture, but others may not. This research then aimed to investigate these non-linguistic inputs the students obtained when participating in the Extensive Reading ER program. This is important amid the domination of Western culture in stories that students mostly use. This research tried to identify the types of moral values students attained after attending a one-semester ER program. Also, it questioned if these values fit with the culture and place where they lived. Using the diary method, this research collected students’ post-reading journals over one academic semester. The journals should be filled in every time the students finish reading. Involving 30 students as participants, the research generated 397 entries, 13 on average. The data were analyzed by classifying the students’ responses into five principles of moral values proposed by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. This research found that most moral values in the ER program aligned with those in Indonesia, despite a few differences. It also provided two most frequent moral values that were surprisingly close to Western culture. This research shared some interesting discussion, including the possible reasons why these two categories have a strong domination, outperforming other categories. Finally, the research also provides important notes regarding what teachers should do and key suggestions for future research.

Abstract

Bangladeshi students of English programs encounter some barriers in their attempt to develop academic writing skill at undergraduate level. The majority of the students who study in English programs in Bangladesh receive their primary and secondary schooling in the instruction medium of Bangla, while a few percent in English medium and English version instructions. Testing and assessment in English studies predominantly focuses on academic writing skill and many students cut a sorry figure in formative and summative assessments in the very first semester due to poor writing competence. This study examined two issues: the difficulties that Bangladeshi undergraduates of English studies confront while developing academic writing skill, and the ways to develop L2 English writing skill. Participants of this study were 6 students studying English in different Bangladeshi universities and 3 English teachers who were teaching at tertiary level. Data collection tools were composition writing samples on a selected topic for undergraduates and a semi-structured interview schedule for teachers. Results indicated that poor grammatical competence and brainstorming skill, insufficient vocabulary, inadequate knowledge of mechanics and writing style, and mother tongue interference were the major barriers that Bangladeshi undergraduates of English studies frequently faced while writing in English.
