Abstract

In this digital age, using technology to teach English has become commonplace. This study focuses on the integration of virtual reality (VR) into vocabulary teaching to young learners. The aims of the study are finding out the teacher's classroom practices, the challenges, and the young learners’ views of VR integration in learning vocabulary. In this study, a case study was applied in conjunction with observation, an open-ended questionnaire, and an interview to uncover the concerns. The respondents were an English teacher and 40 students of fifth grade at SDN 1 Cipanas, Cianjur. Despite the fact that the teacher was able to incorporate VR into her English classroom, there are also some challenges discovered during the practice. School readiness in terms of device availability, teacher’s TPACK level, workloads, teaching media, and classroom managerial skills became the primary issues in the language instruction using VR. Furthermore, the proficiency, characteristics, and quantity of students in the classroom must also all be taken into account. To young learners, on the other hand, learning vocabulary using VR is engaging and entertaining, even if prolonged exposure to the VR lens causes headaches. It is recommended that policymakers pay greater attention to providing more supportive policies and improved facilities for TEYL practice in Indonesia.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify how is the role of images implementation in teaching English conversation. Rapid technological developments increasingly highlight the use of multimodality theory. Multimodal in this case has a metafunction. Multimodal is now used as a new learning resource that can be used in the learning process. This multimodal aims as an evolving approach to knowledge in visual or image sources. This study used a qualitative descriptive method. In this study, an analysis of multimodal literature is carried out, namely through pictures of English conversations, these images are then used in learning about conversations in English. Three steps of representational metafunction, an interpersonal metafunction, and a compositional metafunction were used to analyze the multimodality of images used as learning media in learning English. The results obtained are that there is an increase in students' understanding when using images as learning media in conversational material in English. Based on the analysis of three multimodal components, namely the representational, interpersonal, and compositional, it is possible to conclude that the image of the English conversation employed leads to adaptation to the qualities of the kid as a learner. Children enjoy animated characters, and the use of color and animation in drawings is designed to pique pupils' interest in participating in learning by displaying images of discussions and encouraging them to practice them.

Abstract

This research aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the form and modulation of metaphor translation from French to Indonesian, its use in the communicative context of speech events. Furthermore, this study also looks at the relevance of the results of the translation of the form and modulation with mediation, plurilingual and pluricultural competences in the CEFR European standard language proficiency. The data sources used are the Novel Vingt-Milles Lieues Sous Les Mers by Jules Verne and its translated novel 20.000 Mil di bawah Laut by NH Dini. The data in this study is a metaphor in a broad sense. The most dominant form of metaphor translation used is reproduction. Next, there are substitutions and paraphrases. The combined form of reproduction+paraphrasing is found in the VLM metaphor translation. Equivalence of meaning is obtained by using explicit and implicit modulation, special and general meanings, and point of view. The context of speech events contributes to producing an equivalent and natural translation. The results of this translation indicate that translation activities are complex language activities and require precision and accuracy. Translating literary works requires cultural mastery and an advanced level of linguistic mastery. The competencies are described in the Petra Project terms of reference contained in the CEFR 2020 and CECRL 2018 terms of reference. Translating skills require guided practice acquired through a well-oriented education. The ability to understand metaphors and other cultures and be able to compare them by providing analogies in the local culture is a plurilingual and pluricultural competence.

Abstract

The use of collaborative tactics based on Moodle is quite effective in assisting students in improving their reading comprehension. Moodle is an online education platform that creates a unique learning environment for students to learn in. Students are split into two groups based on their attitudes toward information from outside sources: field-independent learners and field-dependent learners. The Independent Learner has a self-sufficient mentality and is not depending on others. The dependent learner, on the other hand, is a student who is completely reliant on the people or her immediate surroundings. The goal of this research is to see how collaborative techniques based on Moodle and Cognitive Styles affect students' reading comprehension. It divides the participants into two groups at random: an experimental group that received CSR through Moodle, and a control group that received CSR without Moodle. The GEFT (Group Embedded Figures Test) is used to see if the participants' cognitive styles are field-independent or field-dependent. Furthermore, a two-way ANOVA and descriptive test are used to analyze the data. The results of ANOVA test revealed that the learners' reading comprehension was influenced by CSR and cognitive styles. This study suggests that English teachers use Moodle for CSR with cognitive types to help students improve their reading comprehension. Finally, the descriptive test's average differences revealed that CSR with Moodle is better for learners with independent cognitive styles than for those with dependent ones. CSR without Moodle, on the other hand, is best for dependent learners.

Abstract

In the current situation in which all teachers are required to participate in contextual teaching fulfilling the world dynamics and students’ need in learning, it is important to follow the dynamic of contemporary ELT methodologies. The teacher’s ability in reading, learning, interpreting, and implementing the current contemporary ELT is the must; critical thinking skills are needed so that they can be the ones taking part in this study. Critical thinking skills are not only viewed as the framework of thinking but also as the framework to increase teachers’ capacity in enlarging their views about contemporary ELT methodologies. This study aimed at presenting the new perspectives concerning contemporary ELT methodologies for non-English speaking countries through critical thinking. This research was conducted qualitatively in which the data collection was through distributing questionnaires to five lecturers aiming to ask for their perspectives about English Language Teaching Methodologies through Critical Thinking. The analysis was content analysis. The findings stated that teacher’s knowledge about contemporary ELT methodologies is needed as the basic knowledge; teachers’ motivation in learning the contemporary ELT methodologies through critical thinking skills are strengthened; and teachers’ ability in identifying and analyzing the contemporary ELT Methodologies is sharpened through critical thinking skills.
