Abstract

One of significant topics to discuss in studies about feedback in L2 writing is the influence of students? culturally constructed view of the feedback process. Research has shown that the cultures of hierarchical relationship and face-saving strategy have significant influence on students? perceptions of feedback process in L2 writing, particularly in Asian societies. Aiming to investigate whether these findings resonate in Indonesian EFL context, this study collected data through writing drafts, reflective journals, question­naires and interviews with seven students who took an after-class writing course. Findings suggested that students valued teacher feedback more than peer feedback, however they were not concerned about practicing face-saving strategies to maintain group harmony and cohesion.

Abstract

This paper presents a study about critical incidents in Action Research Teaching Journal (ARTJS) in Microteaching which comprised in five sections: topic, planning, action, observation and reflection. ARTJS was made before and after doing each mini teaching. Twelve ARTJSs were collected from four student-teachers who had taken Microteaching course. A descriptive data analysis was used to identify types of critical incidents found in ARTJSs by using NVIVO software tool. A critical incident has been defined as, ?unanticipated events that occur during a lesson and trigger insights about some aspect of teaching and learning? (Farrel, 2005, pp.114-115), that lead them to be reflective teachers in ELT. The analysis began with coding the sections of the teaching journals which reflected types of critical incidents, then classified similar types of critical incidents into categories. The last step in the analysis was to interpret the categorized data. The analysis of the data shows that there were seven prominent themes that emerged from this study: course delivery problems, students? participation, time management, technical problems, language proficiency problems and course preparation. The paper ends with some recommendation for improvement of Microteaching course.Keywords: action research, Microteaching, critical incidents.

Abstract

The debate about the use of L1 (first language) in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classes has been around since the teaching as a foreign language itself. The arguments that support the use of L1 use in EFL classes claimed that L1 can be a great tool for students for L2 (English) acquisition and learning. This claims lead to the EFL teachers? use of code switching (CS) in the classroom. This research aims at investigating the teachers? belief about code switching and its function in EFL classroom. Three experienced teachers of English Language Education Department in a private university participated in this study. The study used observation and interview as the data collection methods. The observation was done through video recording on class sessions, and the interview will be done to confirm teachers? use of CS based on the recording. The result reveals that the teachers have made informed decision on their teaching practice, especially on the use of CS as a teaching method to facilitate students? learning. The teachers mostly used inter-sentential switching in CS. The reasons for using CS in the classroom were to help students learn, to facilitate students with low level of L2 proficiency and to teach efficiently. The functions of teachers? CS were to construct and transmit knowledge, to manage the class, and to build interpersonal relation with the students. This study indicated that teachers in this research were aware of the use of CS in teaching and learning L2 to facilitate learning.

Abstract

Language writing anxiety is a phenomenon that majority of EFL students, particularly Afghan English language learners, experience. To address this issue, this qualitative study explored the reported experiences of five Afghan undergraduate English majors, studying at an Afghan university, with writing anxiety. After collecting data through semi-structured interviews, the data was transcribed verbatim, and four major themes were constructed. The results revealed that anxiety has both positive and negative effects on students. The findings also showed that participants? little exposure to writing activities was the major reason behind their writing anxiety. The participants reported that receiving feedback from teachers, doing extensive reading, developing their vocabulary knowledge and practicing writing were the major strategies they had used to overcome writing anxiety.
