Abstract

One way for the teachers to learn is by peer observation to reflect the practice of teaching which in turn will give input to improve the competence in the teaching learning process. Conducting the process of peer observation need commitment from different parties and raise some problems. The institutions need the human resources and budget allocation to build the system, and to maintain its running. On the other hand, the teachers are reluctant to be observed because they will feel insecure, fear to change the routine, and having more works to do. This research was conducted to answer the following questions: (1) How did teachers perceive and engage in the practice of peer observation at the Language Training Center? and (2) How was the implementation of the peer observation at the Language Center? The research design for this study was the qualitative case study, and took place at the Language Center of a private university in Indonesia. Purposeful sampling was used to determine the participants. The answers of those two questions were the teacher perception in the form of how they perceive the aim of the peer observation as the monitoring evaluation and the benefit of it. Then, the implementation of the Peer Observation and the feedback for the next implementation.

Abstract

Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) is a new approach for students to learn language through the use of mobile technology. Learning a language should not only happen in a class setting activity but also happen outside the class in which the students take charge of their learning. Hence, it requires students' autonomy in learning the language. Students are now able to carry out their learning without depending on the teachers, which then leads to a sustainable and independent learning process. Quizlet, a web application, is introduced in this paper as an alternative solution to improve students? speaking skill through an autonomous language learning activity. This paper used an action research method combined with a questionnaire to analyze the implementation of Quizlet in an autonomous class setting at STMIK AKAKOM Yogyakarta. The practical, usability, and sustainability aspects become the focus of this research. The data gathered from the action research shows that an autonomous learning activity still requires teachers to be the facilitator, and the questionnaire shows positive feedback from the students regarding the usability and sustainability of their language learning using the application.

Abstract

This action research study measured the effectiveness of a self-awareness strategy and podcasting to help beginners EFL-adult learners to pronounce tense-lax vowels in English accurately. The participants were 17 adult students with an A1.2 English level. This innovation was implemented in a language school in a coastal city in Ecuador, South America. The results were obtained using quantitative data gathered from a pre and a post-test, which were divided in two parts; a scripted and extemporaneous one. The final scores produced a large effect size of 2.27 for tense vowels and 4.89 for lax vowels, indicating that most of students were able to pronounce more than the 80% of tense and lax vowels accurately. These results demonstrated that the self-awareness strategy and the podcasting had a great impact on tense-lax vowels pronunciation in adults. Despite the favorable results, further and deeper research is needed with a larger sample, period of time, and training.
