Abstract

This study examined how employing the Mystery Box game affected tenth-grade students' speaking skills at a senior high school in Lhokseumawe, Aceh, Indonesia. It employed pre-experimental quantitative research. A number of 25 students from class X-3 were purposively chosen as the sample of this study. In collecting the data, the researchers used tests (pre-test and post-test) as the instrument, and the results were analyzed by using statistics. The results showed that the mean scores of the pre-test and post-test were 37.2 and 73.2, respectively. The mean score of the post-test was higher than the mean score of the pre-test, with the T-test value of 4,556, and the critical value in the t-table (0.05) of 1.711. This implies that the t-score is higher than the t-table (t- score = 4.534> t-table = 1.711), and thus the alternative hypothesis (Ha) of this research was accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. In conclusion, teaching English by using the Mystery Box game to improve these EFL students’ speaking skills succeeded. Consequently, the use of this game is among the alternative media to be used by English teachers in augmenting their students’ skills in speaking English. When students achieve the accuracy and mastery of speaking skills, at a later stage, it can help them move to the improvement of other language skills

Abstract

The teaching style is the way the lecturer delivers material and controls students’ activities in the classroom. Teachers have their own teaching style depending on personal and students’ needs. Meanwhile, the students have their own expectations regarding the teachers’ styles of teaching English as well. This research investigated the university students’ expectations of the lecturers’ styles in teaching English. It used descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods as the research design. The data were collected by distributing a questionnaire to 45 students and interviewing 9 of them who were randomly chosen from the students majoring in English at one of the universities in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The quantitative data were analyzed statistically, while the qualitative data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion. The results of the research revealed that the dominant lecturer’s style expected by the students in teaching English is the combination of facilitator, personal model, and expert styles. The students favored the lecturers who facilitate students’ learning activities, give personal examples, and provide detailed information that students need. If the lecturers used only one teaching style, the students said they would get bored and learning would not reach maximum results. The combination of the three styles is a form of the student-centered model in which students play an active role in the learning activity in the classroom.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal another side that is more in-depth than just translation, especially translation in print media. In this regard, the researcher studied translation in one of the leading print media in Indonesia based in Bandung, West Java, namely the Pikiran Rakyat Daily News. The researcher explores ideology in maintaining meaning in the translation of news content in Pikiran Rakyat. This research needs to be done because the translation of international news from English to Indonesian for the sake of print media has many dimensions and problems. The research was conducted using descriptive qualitative methods. There are eleven news of the Pikiran Rakyat examined in this study. The news sourced from foreign news agencies was published in the 2018-2020 range. This research combines two theories, namely translation theory of Newmark and critical discourse analysis (CDA) theory of Van Dijk. Specifically, this study examines ideology and the maintaining of meaning in translating English news content into Indonesian. The results of this study indicate, with the existence of partiality, translation becomes very ideological. This can be seen from the diction, placement of news, and the addition or removal of certain elements in the news. It can be concluded that the translation of international news in Pikiran Rakyat is very ideological. From the linguistic data studied, it appears that Pikiran Rakyat consistently carries the ideology of peace.

Abstract

The study aimed to explore the impact of WhatsApp use on reading comprehension among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in Indonesia. Results from the questionnaire showed that a majority of the participants used WhatsApp for reading activities often or very often, with new articles, fiction or literature, and non-fiction books being the most common types of reading materials accessed. The majority of EFL learners spent 1-2 hours on WhatsApp for reading activities, and cited convenience and accessibility as the main reasons for using the platform. The results also showed a significant number of EFL learners believed that using WhatsApp had improved their reading comprehension skills, although some participants did not find it to be an effective tool. The most commonly cited advantage of using WhatsApp for reading activities was convenience and accessibility, followed by engagement with peers and opportunities for discussion and exchange of ideas. Meanwhile, the most commonly cited disadvantage was distraction from other conversation or notifications, limited access to a wide range of reading materials, and lack of interaction with the teacher or tutor. The results also indicated that the majority of EFL learners improved their reading comprehension skills over time when using WhatsApp for reading activities, with a focus on reading texts or materials, participating in group discussions, and completing reading comprehension exercises. The study results provide valuable insights into the impact of WhatsApp use on reading comprehension among EFL learners and could help identify areas for improvement in utilizing the platform for reading activities.

The study also aimed to examine the impact of these practices on student engagement and motivation. A total of 100 teachers from several different schools participated in the study which were scattered from the major islands in Indonesia, and the data were collected using a self-report questionnaire that was administered online by provided with link. Correlations analysis were conducted to examine the relationships between the variables. The results showed that teachers’ beliefs and attitudes about differentiation had a strong positive correlation with the implementation of this approach in their classrooms (r = 0.75, p < 0.001). in addition, professional development in differentiation was positively correlated with teachers’ beliefs and attitudes about this approach (r = 0.65, p < 0.001). The results also indicated a strong positive relationship between teachers’ beliefs and attitudes about differentiation and student achievement in EFL classrooms (r = 0.80, p < 0.001). These findings suggest that teachers’ beliefs and attitudes about differentiation play a significant role in their implementation of this approach in the classroom, and that differentiated instruction has the potential to improve student achievement and engagement in EFL classroom in Indonesia. However, further research with a larger and more diverse sample is needed to fully understand these relationships in the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Many scholars have conducted research on hate speech, spanning from hate speech delivery tactics to the negative consequences they create, as well as the role of technology in the dissemination of hate speech on social media. However, research on hate speech categories and degrees is still relatively unexplored. As a result, the purpose of this research is to uncover the strategies and levels of hate speech on social media, primarily YouTube channels, in response to the Minister of Religion's comments about the sound of mosque loudspeakers that need to be adjusted in volume. This comment has generated both positive and negative reactions in Indonesian society. This research looks into netizen comments in the comments column on the YouTube channel that carries the statement. Purposive sampling was used to select 300 comments from among the 840 comments in the comments column. For the purposes of this study, the sample was obtained in the form of comments containing hate speech. The data was then analyzed using content analysis, in which the data was categorized and categorized according to hate speech categories. According to the study's findings, there are three types of hate speech in netizen comments: early warning, dehumanization and demonization, and violence and incitement. Early warning is the most common type of hate speech, followed by violence and hostility, as well as dehumanization and demonization. Due to cultural influences and contrasts in rank and power between the commentator and the person who is the subject of the hate speech, hate speech delivered by Indonesian netizens tends to be dominated by disagreement, negative character, and action.
