Abstract

In spite of studies about academic dishonesty that have been conducted by many researchers, only a small number of studies have investigated academic integrity in online EFL classrooms at university level. The aim of this research is to seek about the occurrence and types of academic dishonesty as well as strategies that could be used by English teachers to overcome the problem. This research investigated the reason why EFL students tend to carry out academic dishonesty in online learning. Researchers used open-ended questions to gain the students opinion and responses. Rresults of this research shows that 55.6% of the respondents understood what was considered to be academic dishonesty and in the same percentage they also sometimes conducted academic dishonesty. In exam related violations, 61.1% of them sometimes looked up information on the web to get helps or answers. In assignment related violation, 38.9% responded that they sometimes shared answers of the task and collaborated with others on individually assigned work. In online session related violations, 38.9% showed that sometimes they participated in a live session from one device and did other activities at the same time. Then, reasons why they did academic dishonesty was because the assignment was too difficult and they did not learn about the material well. All in all, most of the respondents understood about academic integrity, but they still tend to cheat. Thus, this study would help EFL students and teachers to maintain the academy integrity.DOI: 10.26905/enjourme.v7i2.8827

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic adds a new challenge for teachers to innovate new teaching strategies during the post-pandemic. Identifying English as a foreign language (EFL) students' learning strategies, teachers' preparation, and challenges are needed to innovate a new alternative approach for a post pandemic learning activity, thus investigating them is worth studying. The study is based on the premise that the golden age of young learners influences the success of language learning. This study was conducted during the government's implementation of English as a local supplementation subject. A case study was used as the approach of the study, with an interactive model to analyze the data. Observation, field notes, interviews, and documents are used as the instruments to collect the data. The result of this study shows that oral communication is the main component of the learning activity. A lesson plan is developed with the purpose of helping teachers establish the appropriate medium. The main issues encountered by teachers are how to capture students' attention and focus during the learning activity. In addition, suggestions for further study are presented.

Abstract

This study aimed at identifying Indonesian undergraduate students’ perceptions of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) implementation in an English language education department at a private university in Indonesia. Using total population sampling, 74 students who were taking a language classroom management course in which PBL was implemented through collaborative work were involved in this survey study.  The data were collected using a 21-item questionnaire from Jaeger and Adair (2014) that was based on Senocak (2009). The data were then analyzed statistically to identify the participating students’ perceptions of PBL implementation by interpreting the patterns of the data. Based on the results of this study, the participants tended to perceive that PBL helped them become more self-directed. However, many of them felt that the collaborative work implemented in PBL was more a difficulty than an ease. The implication of this study is also discussed.DOI: 10.26905/enjourme.v7i2.9032

Abstract

Oral communication has a highly significant role to stay in touch with the current global circumstances, but a low level of speaking fluency is seemingly a major drawback for Bangladeshi tertiary-level students to achieve global standards of speaking. Taking the core issue into account, this study aims to explore grammar phobia as an obstacle to the learners’ way of gaining fluency in oral communication. To substantiate the hypothesis a fact-finding survey for the study has been conducted on the learners of the tertiary level of a particular region in Bangladesh. The findings of the study show grammar phobia of the learners as a major threat to fluency as they get less exposure to free expression and communication when it comes to mutual interaction in the classes. In a typical Bangladeshi approach to language learning, the learners are supposed to put extra emphasis on grammatical accuracy for communicative competence, but most of them admitted that they fumble in free fair communication for fear of grammatical issues. In addition, It would be further evident from the study that teachers’ limitations and lack of expertise contribute to the overall failure of tertiary-level learners in their performances in oral communication.DOI: 10.26905/enjourme.v7i2.8767

Abstract

This study investigates the factors that influence reading difficulties among elementary students in a rural area. Based on observations and interviews, the study reveals limited language skills due to the use of local dialects, impacting comprehension and decoding abilities. Phonetic awareness also requires improvement, with difficulties in recognizing and distinguishing letters. Cognitive deficiencies, particularly in working memory, affect reading comprehension. Some students display varying attentiveness, with some preferring activities like drawing, hindering engagement in reading tasks. The home literacy environment and parental involvement significantly influence reading proficiency. The absence of preschool education affects students' foundational literacy skills upon entering primary school. Recommendations include personalized approaches and early childhood education advocacy to enhance reading skills in rural students.

Abstract

Bridging the past and present in a family is challenging, particularly if they grow up in a different culture. The hassle of life occupies most people's minds, which leads to abandoning one of the most fundamental kinships, the mother-daughter relationship. This phenomenon appears in a literary work written by Amy Tan entitled The Bonesetter's Daughter, where the protagonist acts apathetic toward her mother's willingness to preserve their family's lineage through a handwritten memoir.Reading the literary work through the lens of Memory Studies helps to understand the mother's unpleasant to hostile behaviours in the protagonist's upbringing; besides her harsh past that caused it, the daughter's obliviousness toward her mother's wishes in getting to know about her real grandmother and the history of their family heightened her disappointment. As an Asian, family ties serve as a vital source of identity and safeguard against life's challenges, and the bond is severed more due to the different communication styles.Realising the importance of reading the forgotten memoir written by her mother became the turning point of their relationship. By willingly reading the mother's memory, finally, the daughter creates a long-wished family connection.

Abstract

Grammar is the system of language which deals with the form and structure of words in making sentences well, therefore grammar plays an important role in English subjects. Yet, many students place grammar as the last choice in English subjects, especially students at Vocational High Schools (VHS) who learn English as English for Specific Purpose (ESP) learners, and they are focused on production skills rather than language skill knowledge (Mahbub, 2019). Therefore this study was held to investigate VHS students’ perceptions of English grammar learning to understand and complete their needs in the class. This study was conducted on a VHS with 112 eleventh graders as the participants. This study obtained quantitative data through a survey by distributing a questionnaire adapted from Xiao (2019), Arif (2016), and Sopin (2015) with three main aspects such as students’ attitudes, students’ learning styles, and grammar teaching method preferred by students in English grammar learning. This study revealed that students at this VHS have positive attitudes toward English grammar learning, they also like guided learning styles, and prefer varied teaching ways from the teacher in learning English grammar.
