Abstract

This research aims to investigate the critical thinking skills of 86 Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners who are prepared to be English teachers using an adapted questionnaire measuring critical thinking skills. This research uses a descriptive quantitative research design to examine the critical thinking skills of Indonesian EFL learners. It reveals the ability of Indonesian EFL learners’ critical thinking skills through a diagnostic test which results in a moderate level, implying that the strategies to embed critical thinking in an EFL classroom setting need to be improved. This eventually might lead to a wide gap between the existing teacher's competence and the expected qualities. This research argues the diagnosis of critical thinking state in Indonesia’s pre-service English teachers and the future directions to leverage critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of short silent animations on pre-intermediate EFL learners’ writing. A homogenized group of 60 participants was non-randomly chosen and assigned as the control and experimental groups. Those in the control group watched five short animations with dialogue, while those in the experimental group had five short animations which were silent. The procedure lasted 10 sessions. In both groups, the participants were asked to write five writings regarding the subjects of the animations during the term and each of the writings should have contained a minimum of 90 and maximum of 140 words. The participants were provided both oral and written feedback. At the end of the instruction, a sample PET writing posttest was administered to both groups, an independent samples t-test was run on the mean scores of the two groups, and the results (t = -2.02, p = 0.0370.05) revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group.

Abstract

This study is an attempt to compare the effect of oral conferencing alongside collaborative writing on writing skills of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. For this purpose, a piloted sample of the Preliminary English Test (PET) was administered to 90 intermediate female EFL learners, between 20 and 32 years old (Mage = 26). The results of this test enabled the researchers to select 60 homogenous individuals who were then randomly assigned into two experimental groups of 30 named “oral conferencing group” and “collaborative writing group”. To ensure the homogeneity among the participants in terms of their writing ability before the treatment, their scores on the writing section of the PET test were analyzed in isolation and it was considered as the pretest of the study. Oral conferencing included the discussions and negotiations among the participants and the teacher before and after writing activities followed by live teacher-student as well as student-student feedbacks. In the collaborative writing group, the participants wrote compositions in groups based on the same topics introduced in the oral conferencing group. At the end, both groups were given another piloted writing section of the PET test as the posttest. The analysis of the test scores using an independent sample t-test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) revealed that there is a significant difference between the effect of oral conferencing and collaborative writing on EFL learners’ writing skills. Finally, it can be concluded that EFL learners’ writing skill was more affected by applying oral conferencing rather than collaborative writing.
