Abstract

This study aims to investigate whether the students who are treated using problem-based learning (PBL) with critical thinking have better writing ability than the students who are treated not using problem-based learning (PBL) with critical thinking. The research design was quasi experimental. Solomon Three-Group Design was used because there were three groups conducted in this study to minimize the intervening variables that might affect the result of the study. MANCOVA was used for data analysis. The study result says that problem-based learning (PBL) with critical thinking taught to the students was effective to increase students’ writing ability. Their argumentative essay writings perform better in introduction (sig=0.00), main points (sig=0.01), critical thinking (sig=0.01), organization of (sig=0.03), style (sig=0.004), and mechanics (sig=0.03). This research is useful and meaningful for the teachers to use problem-based learning with critical thinking in teaching argumentative essay. For the next researchers who will research the relevant topic, this study result can be used for enriching their knowledge for researching argumentative essay, comparison and contrast essay, expository essay.

Abstract

Translanguaging has increasingly been used in English classrooms to symbolize a movement away from native-speakerism in the growing multilingual society. In translanguaging classroom contexts, students are evaluated on their ability to use their whole language repertoire to express what they know and can do in classroom tasks. Four principles of translanguaging in assessment are provided as guidelines. However, many classroom translanguaging studies barely address how the four principles are employed. This study explores teachers’ experiences in performing assessments in classroom translanguaging in relation to the four principles of translanguaging assessment to propose recommendations for translanguaging classrooms at the university level. Classroom observations and interviews were conducted with five teachers of an English department at a university in Indonesia. A thematic analysis performed on the data demonstrated that the teachers’ assessments had accommodated the different voices in assessment, the use of other people and other resources, and the authenticity of the tasks. However, the distinction between general linguistic and language-specific performances was not carried out. Another theme emerged – shared language among interlocutors. Recommendations covering improving teachers’ knowledge about pedagogical translanguaging, how to design translanguaging assessments, and how to manage the assessment are made to facilitate good alignment between classroom translanguaging instructions and assessments to maximize students’ learning benefits.

Abstract

Writing skills are one of the essential components in mastering a language, apart from other linguistic skills. Writing demands a profound understanding of language structure, particularly grammar. The current junior high school (SMP) curriculum integrates grammar materials into various learning modules, often causing students to be unaware that they are learning grammatical concepts. This development research aims to design an effective grammar learning module, with the hope to (1) facilitate students' understanding of grammatical concepts, (2) enhance student's writing skills with an emphasis on grammatical aspects, (3) assess the suitability of the learning module with the writing learning needs at the junior high school level, and (4) obtain feedback from educators and students regarding the implementation of the module in schools in Bekasi City. This research adopts the Research and Development (R&D) model following the 4-D model stages: definition, design, development, and dissemination. Data collection was conducted through interviews and questionnaires. Experts in content, media, and language performed module validation. The research results indicate that the implementation of the grammar learning module can have a positive impact on improving students' writing skills, as reflected in the increased writing test scores.

Abstract

Listening comprehension is a crucial component of language learning, with extensive listening (EL) recognized as an effective strategy for language learners. However, the majority of listening resources in classrooms are often limited to audio-only formats, presenting challenges for students. This study explores the potential of multimodality, defined as the combined utilization of various communication modalities, in enhancing the EL experience. Despite the increasing research on multimodality in language education, a notable gap exists in understanding how students perceive the combined use of multiple modes, especially in EL classes. This research employed a case study design involving EFL students in a public university in Indonesia. The study utilized course reflections which served as open-ended questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews to gather insights into students’ perceptions and challenges related to multimodal materials in EL instruction. The findings reveal that students generally find multimodality beneficial in understanding the context of EL materials. However, challenges arise when there are too many modes, leading to distractions and reduced effectiveness. This research contributes to addressing the research gap and emphasizes the importance of examining students’ perceptions and challenges in the context of EL classrooms employing multimodality.

Abstract

 The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in language learning has transformed academic writing, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. AI-powered writing tools such as QuillBot offer real-time feedback, automated paraphrasing, and grammatical enhancements, potentially improving students’ writing proficiency. However, limited research explores the specific impact of QuillBot on argumentative essay writing in EFL classrooms. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of QuillBot in enhancing the writing skills of third-semester EFL students at Universitas Darma Persada, Indonesia. Using a quasi-experimental design, 60 students were divided into an experimental group (QuillBot-assisted learning) and a control group (traditional instruction). Pre-test and post-test essay scores were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 to assess improvements in structure, coherence, and grammar. The findings revealed that students using QuillBot showed significantly higher improvements in writing proficiency compared to those in the control group. The experimental group demonstrated enhanced argumentation, coherence, and grammatical accuracy, indicating that AI-assisted tools can be effective in fostering writing development. The study concludes that QuillBot is a valuable supplementary tool for EFL writing instruction, providing instant feedback and reducing students’ dependency on traditional teacher-led corrections. Educators are encouraged to integrate AI writing assistants into teaching methodologies to optimize learning outcomes. Future research should explore the long-term effects of AI-assisted writing on different writing genres and across diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

English communication skills are one of the 21st century educational skills demand to face the technological and industrial era. The previous studies have examined the influence of Turn-Taking Strategy (TTS) on speaking skill in the classroom, but no one has examined its influence on the issue of student engagement which is always being discussed recently. Hence, this study addresses the gap by investigating the effect of TTS through speaking skills and student engagement in EFL classroom. A total of 30 tenth grade students at SMK TPI Al-Ghoniyyah are divided into experimental and control groups using a non-random sampling approach with purposive sampling technique. This study used a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent (pretest and post-test) control group design. The researcher used observation sheet, speaking tests and documentation to collect the data and parametric statistical analysis which consists of testing requirements and hypotheses to analyse the data. The findings indicated that TTS positively influence students' speaking skills and engagement with a significance value of 0.00 ≤ 0.05. The mean difference values of experimental and control group were 3.20 and 18.20 higher than 1.00 and 3.07 showed the impact of TTS in fostering EFL student’s self-confidence, developing interactional competence, and overcoming engagement problems. The formation of positive characters and personality types of EFL student was revealed indirectly in this study.

Upon reflection, it becomes evident that these issues are intrinsically linked to the behavior, awareness, and actions of all communities. Therefore, English Language Teaching (ELT) has a unique opportunity to contribute by providing information and fostering eco-green awareness among learners. To achieve this, a comprehensive research project was undertaken at a university in Bojonegoro to investigate and examine the EFL learners’ perception on implementation of e-reading module based eco-ELT and how EFL learners perceive eco-ELT. This research used mixed method which present and analyze both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The research involved 45 EFL learners, and data was collected through questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaire encompassed various indicators related to the clarity and sustainability of the reading material, presenting reading materials based Eco-ELT themes, and ease of access. The data was analyzed by using data verification, scoring and calculating the percentage of each item and interpret the script of interview. The finding reveals that the majority of the EFL learners have positive perception and acceptance on the use of e-reading module based on eco-ELT in EFL class. The average score was about 50% EFL learners shows their positive perception on the implementation of e-reading module based eco-ELT. While, EFL learners view eco-ELT offers new insights in acquiring information about environment and comprehend reading material while doing the reading exercise. EFL learners imply eco-ELT can encourage them to practice green and sustainable lifestyle to save the earth. Dealing with the findings, eco-ELT can be taken into account as a new innovative approach to develop teaching and learning materials. Consequently, the learners not only acquire the knowledge but also enhance and encourage their characters to love nature.
