Abstract

reading in the English language context has widely taken a position in the educational field, the reading score among aviation cadets was far from expectation. Several empirical studies have underpinned metacognitive reading strategies as supporting components in determining the reading performance of EFL learners, yet an investigation within the scope of cadets of the aviation field remains limited in the Indonesian context. This study explored cadets’ awareness level of metacognitive reading strategies and how they demonstrate awareness toward the use of those strategies in the English language context. An explanatory design was utilized, with 30 aviation cadets involved. The data was obtained from self-inventory reports and open-ended questions. The result confirmed that aviation cadets are metacognitively aware of the three elements of reading strategies with medium level of awareness. Moreover, cadets with high scores reading tests encompass more support reading strategies and problem-solving strategies compared to lower scorers. While cadets who got average scorers utilize three parts metacognitive reading strategies. These results confirmed that cadets who can maintain their cognition and proceed with various strategies in reading activities, will perform better in reading within the English language context.

Abstract

One of the essential skills in teaching English is pronunciation. The listener will only understand the speaker if their pronunciation is correct. Applying English pronunciation instructions to students is an integral part of the language. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the podcast which contains relevant and authentic content for global listening comprehension in language learning. As a technological tool, the “British Council” podcast was integrated for learning English pronunciation at English Education in Universitas Borneo Tarakan. This pre-experimental study involved one class of third-semester students who previously learned pronunciation. Because the calculated Z value was less than the -Z table (-4.809 -1.960) and the p-value was less than (0.000 0.050), the decision was made to reject H0, indicating an average significant difference between the pre-test and post-test based on the measured pronunciation. It presented that integrating the podcast shaped students’ pronunciation and made them more confident. This study sheds light on the role of digital media in determining students' pronunciation and language development. It also provides teachers with alternative media for learning pronunciation in and outside of the classroom.

Abstract

This quantitative investigation delves into the employment of translanguaging strategies within classrooms of an English education study program at an Indonesian public university. As an emerging pedagogical approach in bilingual and multilingual educational settings, translanguaging encompasses the dynamic utilization of students' linguistic repertoires to bolster learning and communication. This study seeks to explore students' attitudes towards the enactment of translanguaging during their presentation and discussion sessions and assess its potential impact on their learning experiences. A purposive sample of 50 second and third-year undergraduate students majoring in English language education study, actively engaged in translanguaging practices during presentations and discussions, was selected for this study. Data collection entailed administering a survey questionnaire comprising Likert scale items formulated to evaluate students' attitudes towards translanguaging. The gathered data were analyzed employing descriptive statistical techniques. The findings reveal that participants exhibit a favorable attitude towards the practice of translanguaging in their presentation and discussion sessions. Students reported that translanguaging amplified their comprehension of subject matter, facilitated communication with peers, and cultivated a more inclusive and diverse learning environment. The study's results suggest that integrating translanguaging strategies within English education study program classrooms can positively impact students' learning experiences and foster a constructive attitude towards linguistic diversity. Further inquiry is recommended to probe the enduring effects of translanguaging practices on students' language competence and scholastic achievements, in addition to examining potential impediments and obstacles to implementing translanguaging across various educational contexts.
