Abstract

Information and communication technology (ICT) has always been evolving, and its advancement has affected every aspect of human life, including education. As future teachers, pre-service teachers need to be aware of this development and have to be able to follow suit by learning how to utilize the technology for their teaching and learning processes. In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context, Web 2.0 tools have been widely used since they provide opportunities for the users to have interaction and collaboration with other people from around the world, and, thus, open the opportunity to global learning. Therefore, this research aims to explore the Web 2.0 tools that have been employed by the pre-service teachers, and it also aims to examine the benefits they perceived in applying some of the Web 2.0 tools for their learning process in the EFL context. The results of the research show that there are five types of Web 2.0 tools that the pre-service teachers used, namely video sharing platforms, social networking tools, social photo tools, blogs, and game-based learning platforms. Concerning the benefits of using Web 2.0 tools in the learning process in the EFL context, the pre-service teachers stated that they could help them to find information more easily, allow them to collaborate with other people, enhance their language skills, and increase their motivation.

Abstract

This study intends to identify the perceptions of English Language Education students from a pre-determined private university in Yogyakarta regarding the English language and its accents. Many English Language Education students prefer accents from English-speaking countries to accents from countries that use English as a second or foreign language. However, many of them may not be able to speak in accents from the former category. The current study aims to find the reasons for this phenomenon, and whether or not having a preferred accent helps them learn the English language. The research uses qualitative design to search for more detailed answers and uses a custom-made interview as a research instrument. To that end, the researcher enlists five students of English Language Education from this private university as participants in this study, where they receive questions about their accents, view on accents, and whether or not having an accent has helped them learn English. The results of the research indicated that while the students have a mixed view of accents and use various accents themselves, having a familiar accent to use when learning English has helped them learn the language better. Being familiar with an accent and mimicking the source of language input  gives the participants an easier time when learning the English Language.

Abstract

The use of a Learning Management System (LMS) in education, including in English as Foreign Language classrooms, is widely deliberated ever since the appearance of Web 2.0 technology. Its use as a virtual classroom works as an alternative approach of teaching that allows teachers and students to perform various tasks and functions. For students, it eases them to both learn and practice the target language. This paper aims to report insights on how EFL students perceived the use of LMS, especially Edmodo.

Abstract

One of the learning media used by Indonesian high school students to support their learning is in the form of a student worksheet, commonly called Lembar Kerja Siswa (LKS). This study aims to examine the reasons why Indonesian high school students used LKS as their learning media and the challenges they faced in using LKS both during the teaching and learning process in the classroom and in their independent learning. This research was conducted at one public school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Four students who used LKS during their English lesson and in their autonomous learning were purposefully selected as the participants of the study. To obtain the data, one-on-one in-depth interviews were administered. The results of the study revealed that the reason for using LKS was to support their learning due to its content, usefulness, handiness, and affordable price. Nonetheless, the participants also found that LKS was challenging to use because of its short explanation, lack of questions, the ambiguity of answers, and poor face validity. At last, suggestions to improve the use of LKS as a learning medium were addressed.
