Abstract

The objectives of this study were to find out (1) whether or not there were significant correlations between (1) learning styles (visual, audio, kinesthetic) and English proficiency, (2) economic status and English proficiency, (3) parents’ educational background and English proficiency, and (4) predictor variables (learning styles, economic status, and parents’ educational background) and the criterion variable (English proficiency). In this correlational study, the data collection was obtained through a Likert scale questionnaire and the documentation of TOEFL prediction results. 489 English Education Study Program students of Persatuan Guru Republik Indonesia (PGRI) University became the population of this study. The research sample was 114 students taken purposively using the purposive sampling technique. The study revealed that 46 students had visual learning styles, 38 others acquired a better understanding through audio-based learning activities, and 30 respondents preferred kinesthetic methods. Based on the result of the study, there was no correlation between English proficiency and visual learning style, audio learning style, and economic status. On the other hand, the study indicated a significant correlation between English proficiency with kinesthetic learning style and parents' educational background. Furthermore, there was also a significant correlation between the predictor variables (learning styles, economic status, and parents’ educational background) and the criterion variable (English proficiency).

Abstract

This paper is aimed to describe modality and adjunct in spoken text of proposing girl using Waijewa language. Modality refers to degrees of indeterminacy. It is to construe the region of uncertainty that lies between ‘yes’ and ‘no’. It refers not only to verb modal but also to modality idea. Thus, modality is manifested into two ways, namely modalization and modulation. The use modality grammar enables people to emphasize what can or cannot be done on what is ordered or offered. Data informing this study were from observation by recording oral texts of proposing a girl happened in Wewewa community. These data then were transcribed and analysed based on systemic functional grammar. The results showed that the use of modality was realized simultaneously by verb such as baka amiko-ngga dede wa kadanu … ‘I will come to take my handbag…’. The use of modality showed varieties of probabilities and obligation. Modalization tended to be uttered by bride’s party whereas modulation by groom’s party. This fact indicated interpersonal relationship in which groom’s party took a position as humble as possible in speaking and usually agreed everything stated or asked by bride’s parents. While bride’s party was dominant in speaking. This condition was influenced by honour value as one of the six values in this text. The use of adjunct related to mood adjunct that covered modal adjunct such as probability, usuality, obligation, obviousness, intensity, and polarity; and comment adjunct such as admissive, desiderative, entreaty, evaluative, opinion, predictive, persuasive, and presupposition.

Abstract

Learner autonomy is mandated to be developed by the newest Curriculum of 2013. This research explored the use of E-Portfolio to develop learner autonomy especially in the area of leaner involvement, reflection, and target language use. The mixed method design involving the quantitative and qualitative data was used in this research. The data itself was collected in the naturalistic settings of two vocational high school classes. The two classes were taken from the population which consisted of 440 participants. Inventory tests were specifically designed to measure changes in the participants both before and after a writing program applying e-portfolio documents was given. Meanwhile, document analysis was used to indicate the development of learner autonomy in writing. The results of the initial inventory test show that the profile of initial autonomy development of the population was moderate which indicates that the participants had not yet reached the optimum capacity to carry active involvement, reflection, and target language use in writing it means that a type of preventive intervention such as that of e-portfolio was needed. Whereas, the results of the intervention or experimental study and document analysis suggest that there was an improvement regarding the degree of learner autonomy development. In this case, the results indicated that the requirements of the e-portfolio for the participant to constantly use the target language may have possibly supported the initial autonomy development in writing, while the participants’ independence in deciding aspects of writing in the e-portfolio may play a role in supporting the constructs of learner autonomy especially in terms of learner involvement, and lastly, the segment of learner reflection provided in the e-portfolio may have a critical role to play in the subsequent learner autonomy development of the participants.

Abstract

The scarcity of job opportunities in Indonesia has encouraged some of its citizen to work abroad; these workers are commonly known as PMI (Pekerja Migran Indonesia –Indonesian migrant workers). One of the salient challenges encountered by PMI occupied in the semi-skilled and unskilled employment, which shared the highest percentage of PMI, is limited English proficiency. This has caused a range of formidable impacts ranging from misunderstandings between the employer and PMI to making PMI less preferable compare to workers from other countries. This research aims to (1) evaluate materials used in the English training programs by BLKLN (Balai Latihan Kerja Luar Negeri -Overseas Training Centre for Indonesian Migrant Workers); (2) Identify PMI’s perceptions concerning their English language needs. Forty-five PMI in Malaysia and Thirty-Six PMI in Singapore were involved in this case study research. Findings from the study revealed that there are gaps between how English is taught at BLKLN and PMI’s language learning needs to the extent of materials and method. Hence, findings from this research put an urgent call to improvement in the English language training at BLKLN in order to meet the PMI’s learning needs.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using group investigation method on second language learning outcomes (L2) in third grade students of SD Muhammadiyah 4 Tangerang City. The method used in this study was a quasi-experimental method by conducting pretest and posttest in two groups. This type of experimental research method uses a nonequivalent control group design, where the experimental class is treated and the control class is not treated. This nonequivalent control group design is almost the same as the pretest and posttest control group designs, only in this design the experimental and control groups are not chosen randomly. Data collection techniques using tests. The data analysis technique was started from normality test, homogeneity test, and continued with hypothesis testing. research data, calculations to test the hypothesis can be that t count is 13.31 and t table with dk = 58. Therefore, the price of t count 13.31 > 1.67 = t table means the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the hypothesis alternative (H1) is accepted. Based on the research above, it can be concluded that: there is a significant effect on the second language learning outcomes (L2) of students who use cooperative learning group investigation type compared to conventional methods. Second language learning outcomes (L2) of students who use cooperative learning group investigation type are higher compared to the conventional method, it can be said that the cooperative learning type group investigation method has an effect on students' second language (L2) learning outcomes.

According to the survey, it turns out that the integration of those three platforms tends to be effective to be applied for ME learning in the meantime situation with the interval scale of 83.55% (strongly agree) and respectively feel that online learning method is the best method of learning to be applied in this current pandemic situation with the interval scale of 81.61% (strongly agree). However, the scale went lower, notching only 58.71% (unsure), when the students were inquired whether the online learning method in general is suitably applied regularly in normal time. This happens due to some constrains they have as well.
