Abstract

Although English has been taught for decades in Indonesia, the quality of multiple-choice question given to young learners was hardly examined. To touch on the issue, this study aims at determining the quality of 10 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) in a public elementary school in terms of difficulty level (P), discrimination power (D), and distractor efficiency (DE). This study employed a cross-sectional study to obtain information and evaluate MCQs in the students’ tests. It was found the multiple-choice items were efficient in which 80% of them have acceptable difficulty and 20% of them were fairly easy (P > 70%). The discrimination index of 8 (80%) items was excellent and 2 of the MCQs were good. Among 40 distractors, 32 (80%) of them were functional distractors while 8 of them were non-functional distractors (NFDs). It can be concluded that most of the difficulty index was acceptable, the items discrimination power was good. In terms of distractor efficiency, two items were completely inefficient. Furthermore, MCQs that are considered poor should be revised, re-tested, and reviewed before incorporating them into the future test. This study hopefully encourages teachers to identify poorly developed MCQs and to improve their quality.

Abstract

Abstracts in research articles are important for readers in determining whether to continue reading the article or not. A plethora of studies involving abstracts’ rhetorical moves has previously been published, but scant attention has been given to the relationship between the rhetorical moves and authors’ nationalities. This study is aimed at comparing the rhetorical moves and linguistic realizations of abstracts by authors of different nationalities. This study analyzed 30 hard sciences abstracts written by national and international authors published in the International Journal of Science and Technology (IJoST). Hyland’s (2000) model of rhetorical moves was employed as the framework of analysis. Findings showed that both groups similarly spent more space in manifesting the method and findings moves. However significant differences were evident in the steps of the introduction and method moves. National authors considered the conclusion move as optional, whereas the other moves in both groups were considered conventional. International authors considered topic generalization step as conventional, while all other steps in the introduction move of both groups were optional. No difference was found in the voices used. However, tense-wise, the international authors favored present tenses in describing the research purpose while the national authors favored past tenses. This study concludes that the differences in the rhetorical organizations between the international and national authors can mostly be found in the steps, instead of the moves. Additionally, as the use of voice does not show any difference, the use of different tenses in each move distinguishes the two groups of authors.

Abstract

This study was aimed to evaluate the online ESP teaching in a Maritime Polytechnic in Indonesia, focusing on the teaching media used by the Maritime English lecturers: the Learning Management System, Zoom, and YouTube. 195 students of the Nautical Studies Department were involved in completing a questionnaire. 12 of them were involved in a Focus Group Interview to obtain more detailed and comprehensive information. Thematic analysis was used to analyze data and a thematic map was presented to illustrate the relationship between the themes. The findings of this study indicate that most students perceived the teaching media used by the lecturers in the online Maritime English classroom were beneficial. However, each teaching medium was reported to have its advantages and disadvantages. If combined appropriately, they can facilitate students’ language learning. It is suggested that the lecturers explore various teaching media and arrange appropriate pacing in their teaching practices. The lecturers also need to prepare their lessons well before teaching to ensure that students can receive the best online learning experience.

Abstract

Advancement of information and communication technology (ICT) has promoted changes on students’ reading behavior; from conventional reading and online reading. In the current study, online reading activity was integrated in a critical reading course in an English department of a private university. In the course, fifty-eight EFL students were exposed with paper-based reading and online reading. After eight week, an evaluation was performed to the course. All participating students were surveyed and twelve of whom were interviewed. The quantitative data from the survey were analysed using Rasch Model while thematic analysis was performed to the qualitative data. Findings showed students’ preference to online reading activity than paper-based reading, particularly for those who were already familiar with electronic reading devices. Online reading was perceived to provide students with flexibility while reading and helped them navigate the reading sections at their ease. Small screen size and lights from the screen appeared to issue students’ eye irritation. Recommendation thus was offered particularly regarding further curriculum development that integrate online reading activity in a reading course.

In determining the article, it is carried out in three stages, namely peer-reviewed articles, re-examined articles, and analyzing the selected articles. The literature review summarizes research on student beliefs from 2017 to 2021. A total of seven articles are referenced in this study. The conclusion drawn from the seven literatures is that students' beliefs about the use of social media in EFL classrooms are positively affected.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to elicit students' perceptions about the quality of English textbook used by Indonesian EFL students. Although numerous teaching researchers have undertaken research on textbooks, it is still uncommon to conduct textbook research to ascertain students' perceptions on the quality of textbooks. This study employed a mixed-methods approach and gathered data from 300 senior high school students in grade eleven. They were chosen at random among 674 students. These students come from SMA 12 Medan and SMK 3 Parulian Medan. Each school was represented by 150 students in the eleventh grade. Google forms were utilized to collect data. Simple statistics are used to calculate the number and percentage in research data analysis, while interactive data analysis is used to examine qualitative data. The results of this study show that the textbook "Bahasa Inggris" meets the criteria for a textbook of appropriate quality in terms of external appearance, content quality, language or vocabulary used, scoring system, and positive impact. However, the quality of the textbook's look and content may be enhanced. The findings of this study provide a unique viewpoint on the difficulties studied in comparison to earlier textbook research.
