Abstract

Many studies have been conducted to show the effect of using Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) on students’ reading skills. However, CSR is rarely conducted in vocational high schools by using procedure text as the material. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of CSR on students’ reading skills. This pre-experimental research involved 29 tenth-grade Hospitality students in the academic year 2023/2024 in one of the state vocational high schools in Malang. The pretest and posttest in the form of multiple-choice reading questions were administered to the students before and after the implementation of CSR. The findings revealed that the use of CSR was effective in improving students’ reading skills. Thus, it is recommended that English teachers apply CSR in teaching reading and give clear instructions on how to do it to the students. For future researchers, it is suggested that they conduct survey and interview to find out the students’ perspectives regarding the implementation of CSR to improve their reading skills.

Abstract

A substantial linguistic base requires a good command of grammar and vocabulary. As Nation (2001) narrates, the knowledge of vocabulary encompasses form, meaning, and use. Aside from pronunciation and grammatical functions, etymology might also be associated with vocabulary knowledge (i.e., form and meaning) in that the spelling and pronunciation and, accordingly, meaning of words have evolved in time. In this regard, studying etymology might offer educational advantages for language learners and teachers. To this end, this study dealt with the utilization of etymology in vocabulary instruction. The background information and the conceptual framework of etymology were initially presented. The relationship of etymology with vocabulary and its significance were established next. Previous studies on the relevant topic were cited afterward. The potential benefits of etymology in language education, particularly vocabulary instruction, and their implications were discussed. The study concluded by verbalizing the limitations and offering recommendations for future research.

Abstract

This survey study aims to identify EFL undergraduate students' perception of the practice of written corrective feedback (WCF) for their undergraduate thesis drafts. 60 students enrolling in Thesis Proposal Defense coursework agreed to participate in this study. This study used a 31-item questionnaire adopted from Marrs' (2016) Perceptions of Writing Feedback Scale (PoWF) questionnaire which describes four aspects: views/expectations of feedback, experiences with feedback, usefulness/value of feedback, and affect/emotions associated with feedback. The result of the mean score of the items indicates that students' perception is generally positive. The participants perceived written feedback as important in their writing. They also perceived that even though they have a good score, feedback is still meaningful. They value writing feedback and perceive it useful to help them to be better with their writing. Finally, in terms of affect and emotions associated with writing feedback, the findings revealed that the participants felt happy and confident when they were given writing feedback in their undergraduate thesis proposal draft. For further research, the researchers recommend further investigation into the relationship between students' self-efficacy in writing and their perception of writing feedback.

Abstract

This current study aimed to investigate rural college EFL students’ experiences in dealing with English research paper writing and publication barriers. Five senior EFL students voluntarily participated in a photovoice phenomenological study. The data were collected through two methods, including semi-structured interviews and a photovoice. The students took some emotional photos to express their feeling on paper writing and publication barriers visually. The interviews encouraged them to describe their experiences and feelings through the photos. The data were analyzed by synchronizing each photo with its qualitative description. As for the results, it is noted that there were three main paper writing and publication barriers, including a lack of linguistic competence, being trapped with a journal template, and anxiety towards written corrective feedback. Each interview result was accomplished with emotional photos in several themes such as untidy pieces of paper, scenery, internet search, children’s toys, colourful pens, and empty box. The photos were also supported by qualitative remarks of each EFL student. In short, the photovoice helps to represent deep feelings on the research paper writing and publication barriers experienced by the EFL students.

Abstract

Intercultural communication competence is now required in such higher education institutions. The issue can be seen by having misconceptions, misunderstandings, and a need for knowledge to understand other cultural exchanges like English and Indonesia. It happened in IAIN Manado, where the researcher takes place as the case of the study and as the research location. Respondents in this study were 28 students of the Manado IAIN English Education Study Program. The data collection technique used in this study was purposive sampling and analyzed through descriptive qualitative analysis. It is analyzed by reducing data, selecting relevant data, organizing data into regular patterns, and drawing conclusions. The study results show that learning English that integrates intercultural communicative competence positively benefits students, with an average percentage of 73.95. An effective strategy for combining intercultural communication competencies is openness to experience and knowledge of other cultures. However, in combining intercultural communication competencies, students also face challenges. These challenges include adapting to foreign cultural communication styles, expressing opinions in the context of intercultural communication in English, understanding conversational etiquette in foreign cultures, and socializing with new cultural environments while learning English. Then, with the right approach and sufficient hands-on experience, students can overcome these challenges and develop solid intercultural communication skills.

Abstract

This study is aimed to investigate the distinction level of writing anxiety between introvert and extrovert English-language (EFL) students. A qualitative case study methodology was utilized to explore a phenomenon within its authentic setting. A modified edition of the Second Language Writing Anxiety Scale (SLWAS) questionnaire was developed by Y.-S. Cheng (2004). The study's participants were categorized based on their personality traits as either introverts (n=29) or extroverted (n=29), categorized according to their personality types. The results showed that introverted individuals have a higher level of anxiety in writing context, with an average score of 3.38. In addition, the results showed the relationship between personality traits and writing anxiety among EFL students. In conclusion, this study found that personality traits like introversion and extraversion can affect writing anxiety and performance. It's important to recognize and address these variations to support individuals with different personality types in improving their writing skills and reducing writing-related anxiety.
