Abstract

Climate change is a global issue that impacts many people around the world. In recent years, several areas in South Sumatra have experienced the uneven impacts of climate change, especially forest fires and drought. Reflecting on the environmental problems that occur, this is closely related to the behavior of the community. Therefore, climate change education must be provided from the beginning, especially to young learners. This research, conducted at SD IT Harapan Mulia Palembang, aims to explore the potential of bilingual picture books in fostering a sense of responsibility and concern for the environment among young learners. By introducing climate change concepts in an accessible and relevant way, this study seeks to empower children to become advocates for environmental sustainability in their communities. Additionally, it aims to improve language skills and reading interest among young learners. This research involved 24 young sixth grade elementary school students, a stakeholder, and two English teachers through a mixed methods approach, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews.The findings of this research reveal the enthusiasm of young learners in using bilingual picture books about climate change in the classroom. Young learners have their own characteristics of books to use, some of which are based on themes and illustrations, story content, use of two languages, number of pages, and interactive elements such as crossword puzzles or short exercises that can hone their language skills. Therefore, researchers suggest that bilingual picture books can be developed and applied as effective and attractive learning media for young learners in English Language Teaching class.Keywords: climate change education; English for Young Learners; bilingual picturebooks; English language teaching

Abstract

Abstract: Children’s literature plays an essential role in shaping readers’ characters through the influence of the ideology implied in it. Children will learn and implement these ideologies as the target readers for their future lives. This study aims to find out the gender representation in one of the children’s literatures, Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan. By applying corpus linguistics, the number of characters and their representations are examined and compared between the English version as the source text and its Indonesian translation. The results show that although male characters dominate the novel in terms of number, a deeper analysis of the collocation of body parts with verbs reveals that there was a shift in gender representation between the two versions of the novel that have different cultural backgrounds. Furthermore, it was found that the author depicted some characters with less fixation on their sex; male characters are less masculine, and female characters are more masculine than the prevailing gender stereotypes in society. In the translated version, the translator rectified the stereotypes by depicting the characters’ gender according to sex. These findings reflect broader cultural ideologies about gender for the millions of readers who enjoy this book. In addition, these findings imply the significance of parents' and educators' awareness and critical thinking regarding the selection of reading materials for children.Keywords: children literature; corpus linguistic; critical discourse analysis; gender representation; translation

Abstract

This article discusses the application of short videos and pictures in teaching ESP procedure texts in computer and network engineering majors. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study design to explore the integration of video and pictures in ESP teaching, the challenges teachers face in integrating videos and pictures in ESP teaching, and how teachers overcome these challenges. The participants of this study consisted of one English teacher in computer and network engineering class who was selected by purposive sampling. The research was conducted at SMK Mahardika Malang and involved English teachers from the computer and network engineering department. Data collection methods included observation and interviews with teachers, focusing on the procedures for integrating short videos and pictures, the challenges faced, and solutions to overcome these challenges. The findings reveal that there are several activities in the classroom, namely teacher activities, student activities, and the learning and teaching process. Teachers face three challenges. The first is time constraints. To overcome this challenge, teachers must use pictures and short videos wisely and adjust them to the time available in the lesson plan. The second is the mismatch of learning material sources. The solution to this challenge is to use effective multimedia such as the Internet and YouTube. The third is students' low motivation to learn English and write procedural texts. The solution to this challenge is for teachers to approach students emotionally, consult with their parents, and provide project-based learning strategies using English. This research provides valuable insights for ESP education, emphasizing the importance of adapting content to industry needs, addressing motivation issues, and effectively using multimedia elements.

Abstract

This qualitative study aimed to identify the challenges faced by final semester students in Indonesian tertiary institutions when writing journal articles, and propose potential solutions to these challenges. The study analyzed 32 articles published in Timor University e-journals, selected purposively from 16 study programs. Results showed that the majority of articles (59%) scored 75, indicating a need for improvement. The most significant challenges faced by students were related to introduction and method (13%), results (13%), and discussion (13%). These findings were consistent with the results of a questionnaire analysis, which identified method and abstract (22%), discussion (30%), and all parts (26%) as problematic areas for students. To address these issues, the study proposes a formal mandate requiring all lecturers to accompany their students in writing journal articles. This mandate would provide students with necessary support and guidance to improve their writing skills and meet the acceptable journal template requirements. The proposed solutions aim to alleviate the academic burden faced by thesis advisors, editors, and reviewers, while also improving the quality of articles produced by students.

Abstract

Attaining proficiency in grammar is crucial for students as it serves as the foundation for language use. However, many individuals shy away from learning it, perceiving it as a daunting and challenging task. This research is aimed at enhancing grammar teaching by applying Grammar Wheel. It focuses on the active and passive voice mastery of three forms of tenses including simple past tense, past continuous tense, and past perfect tense. Conducted in one of the public Senior High Schools in Indonesia, this study was participated by 35 students and an English teacher. Having troubles in comprehending grammar, the teacher needed media and activities to deliver the grammar materials interestingly. Two cycles of Classroom Action Research (CAR) were implemented. The data were collected using observation sheets, field notes, video recordings, interview guidelines, and exercise sheets. The analysis was carried out qualitatively following the steps proposed by Cresswell (2012). The results revealed that language teaching had been successfully improved and students were more motivated to engage in the learning process being in a comfortable and supportive learning environment. Furthermore, learners’ knowledge in mastering the three types of tenses increased significantly as evidenced by their writing. Hence, the Grammar Wheel has proven to be an effective tool for teaching grammar in the classroom.

Abstract

This research study examines the challenges encountered by high school students in Indonesia while acquiring English literacy skills for the National Selection Based on Test (SNBT) examination. The research uses a narrative inquiry methodology to gather qualitative data from two participants who come from diverse backgrounds. The researcher aims to gain a thorough understanding of the participants' experiences, perceptions, and challenges associated with the SNBT examination. Using open-ended questions and probing techniques, the researcher was able to identify recurring themes, patterns, and significant insights. Thematic analysis was employed to identify and analyze the main themes and sub-themes that emerged from the respondents' narratives. The findings of the research indicate that language, psychological, and environmental challenges were identified as the primary obstacles. The findings underscore the significance of catering the varied learning needs of students, including language support and personalized instruction. Moreover, offering explicit guidance on the format and requirements of the SNBT test can better prepare students for success. Additionally, integrating technology, such as online resource and tools, into the language curriculum can enhance engagement and provide valuable learning opportunities. These recommendations aim to empower students by equipping them with the necessary tools and support to navigate the challenges of English literacy acquisition and excel in the SNBT examination.

Abstract

This research aims to conduct a need analysis of English communication skills learning materials that can better meet the demands of workplace, to be specific for customer service employees in Indonesian Railways Company (PT.KAI). Thirteen employees were purposefully selected as the respondents. Using mixed methods, a survey and in-depth interview were carried out to collect the data. The result showed that almost all of the participants did not always speak English in their day-to-day working time. Yet, they still highly demanded to improve their English communication skills, especially both in listening and speaking skills to improve their professionalism and to meet the workplace requirements. Some topics were highlighted as the learning materials that meet with their needs such as showing empathy, ending conversation, thanking conversation, and other topics related to tourism and giving directions and many more. Thus, this research is expected to give preliminary evidence for the EOP course designers, ESP practitioners, book publisher, or even vocational training center to design more relevant materials.

Abstract

Proficiency in spoken English is commonly seen as avital aspect of language learning. Regrettably, a significant portion of ESP learners exhibit reluctance to engage in oral communication inside the language learning classroom, which can be attributed to various reasons. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the relationship among linguistic factor, psychological factor, and sociocultural factor on nursing students’ hesitancy to engage in oral communication exercises. The data were collected using a questionnaire, while the association between variables was tested using the Gamma statistical test. The participants of this study consisted of second-year nursing students in a private university in Tangerang. The sample was determined using the convenience sampling technique, which yielded a total of 195 respondents. A noteworthy correlation had been observed between the linguistic factors (p-value 0.001), psychological factor (p-value 0.001), and sociocultural factor (p-value 0,004) in connection to nursing students’ hesitancy. The correlation between factors is moderately strong, with the variables of all factors indicating a positive association with reluctance. Consequently, the higher the factors, the greater the nursing students’ willingness to speak English, and vice versa. The lecturers should hence foster a safe and accepting environment in the classroom through fostering connections between themselves and the students.

Abstract

The incorporation of critical pedagogy (CP) principles in the teaching of English as a foreign language (TEFL) in Indonesia has been promoted since the last two decades. However, research on how Indonesian EFL teachers view the CP principles are rarely conducted. This case study aims to discover the perceptions of 30 Indonesian EFL teachers teaching in different levels of education and having various educational backgrounds and diverse degree of familiarity regarding the four CP principles. The data for this study were collected by distributing questionnaires and conducting interviews. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and by transcribing, tabulating, coding, categorizing, interpreting, comparing, and concluding. It is evident from the participants’ viewpoints, among the four principles, dialogue and problem-posing are the two most desirable as well as applicable ones. Additionally, in practicing the four principles, the participants claimed that they performed twelve categories of classroom activities. Considering the findings of this study, more training and research on critical EFL pedagogy are recommended.
