Abstract

This study aims to investigate the needs and learning requirements of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) students in the context of developing a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) model for ESP speaking skills. The research employed a qualitative approach, utilizing Comprehensive Needs Analysis (CNA) techniques. Data was collected through document analysis, Forum Group Discussions (FGDs) with students, interviews with lecturers, and meetings with experts. Data analysis followed qualitative methodologies, including data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The study reveals significant insights into students' backgrounds, English proficiency levels, and experiences with MOOCs. Participants primarily perceive their English proficiency as intermediate. While MOOCs are viewed as valuable supplementary resources, students desire more diversity and interactivity in their online learning experiences. Furthermore, the research highlights students' desires for comprehensive speaking skills development, integrated learning experiences, supportive learning environments, and user-friendly technology platforms. This study fills a gap in the literature by investigating the specific needs and learning requirements of ESP students for developing an ESP Speaking MOOC model, particularly in Indonesian context. The findings suggest the importance of prioritizing speaking skills, integrating various language skills, fostering supportive learning environments, and leveraging user-friendly technology platforms in the development of ESP Speaking MOOC models. Addressing these needs is crucial for maximizing learning outcomes and student engagement in online language learning environments.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive meta-synthetic analysis of speaking anxiety among Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Speaking anxiety is a common challenge that significantly impacts the language acquisition process, affecting learners' confidence, performance, and overall proficiency. The meta-synthesis method was employed to integrate and interpret findings from multiple qualitative and quantitative studies conducted in the Indonesian context. The analysis reveals several key factors contributing to speaking anxiety, including fear of negative evaluation, lack of confidence in language proficiency, and cultural influences on communication styles. Additionally, the study highlights the role of educational environments and teacher-student dynamics in exacerbating or alleviating anxiety. The findings suggest that targeted interventions, such as supportive teaching practices, anxiety-reducing classroom activities, and the development of a positive learning environment, can effectively mitigate speaking anxiety. This meta-synthesis provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers aiming to enhance EFL education in Indonesia by addressing the psychological barriers to effective language learning. By synthesizing diverse perspectives and empirical evidence, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of speaking anxiety in the Indonesian EFL context and offers practical recommendations for fostering a more conducive learning atmosphere for language learners.

Abstract

This research analyzes the cultural content presentation in the textbook "Bahasa Inggris" for the twelfth-grade high school by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, where this book is part of the 2013 curriculum. The analysis of cultural content in this research uses the three-source analysis theory of cultural information by Cortazzi and Jin, which will then be combined with Byram's, theory by providing codes in eight categories. Cortazzi and Jin's theory describes categorization in the presentation of cultural content in English textbooks. Meanwhile, Byram's checklist is used to classify cultural content, which has been categorized into these eight categories. This checklist reveals cultural information and how the content meets language and culture learning and teaching needs. The findings show that this EFL textbook presents source culture and target culture content, but international culture is not present. Material about source culture is presented most in this textbook.

Abstract

Since the discontinuation of national examinations (UN) in 2020, the Indonesian Government introduced the Minimum Competency Assessment (Asesmen Kompetensi Minimum-AKM) to assess students' fundamental abilities. Consequently, teachers are pivotal in integrating AKM-based reading literacy questions to enhance students' reading skills. This study aims to explore teachers' perceptions, practices, and assessment literacy needs concerning teaching and assessing students' reading literacy based on AKM. Ten EFL junior high school teachers participated in interviews. Findings revealed varying perceptions among teachers regarding AKM. While some supported the policy for its positive impact on students and learning, others doubted its effectiveness for certain reasons. In terms of teaching and assessment practices, most teachers partially integrate the three components of AKM reading literacy into their classrooms. They also utilize various stimuli and question types similar to those in AKM, yet complex multiple-choice assessments are underutilized. Lastly, teachers expressed diverse literacy assessment needs, including strategies for teaching reading, designing critical reading questions, creating stimulus materials, gaining AKM knowledge, enhancing student interest in reading, and identifying intended learning outcomes to improve their teaching and evaluation of students' literacy.

Abstract

In ESP courses, it is important to provide students with authentic and realistic learning activities to improve their communicative competence. This study explores students’ perceptions of the use of business meeting simulation in an ESP course. There are two research questions guiding this study (1) How do the students perceive the use of business meeting simulation in improving their communicative competence? (2) What obstacles are faced by students in conducting the business meeting simulation? This research was conducted at the Port and Shipping Management department of a maritime polytechnic in Indonesia. A questionnaire consisting of close-ended questions and open-ended questions was used to collect data. Twenty-four students in semester seven were involved in completing a questionnaire exploring their perceptions. The quantitative and qualitative data from the questionnaire were recapped and analyzed. The findings of the study showed that most students agreed that the activity of business meeting simulation can improve their communicative competence, especially politeness strategies and various expressions used in a meeting. The study also revealed the obstacles faced by students, i.e., lack of vocabulary mastery and low self-confidence, limited time for preparation, and problems with group work.

Abstract

The translation process greatly determines the translation results. The translated text should have the same meaning as the source text but still maintain the natural elements. A creative translation model that can help translators produce good translations that have equivalence in meaning and good grammar is essential, considering that the translation process is not just a change of language but is a process of transferring meaning from the source language to the target language (Indonesian-English). RATPro  (Read, Analyze, Transfer, Produce) Translation Model that is based on Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) Tools can be used as a creative and innovative translation model that can help translation students transfer the language of scientific article manuscripts from the source language to the target language while maintaining the equivalence of meaning and naturalness of the language through excellent and correct grammar. RATPro  (Read, Analyze, Transfer, Produce) Translation Model based on Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) Tools can also make it easier for students to translate because it is based on digital recording. This research aims to develop a RATPro translation model based on Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) Tools that are creative and innovative in translating scientific articles by students. The research model used is Research and Development (RnD), where research data is analyzed critically and validated to obtain valid and reliable results. The designedtranslation model will also be well used in translating authentic manuscripts in different manuscript fields.
