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 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. The researchers gathered data by interviewing four EFL students of a private Islamic university in Yogyakarta. The results clarify their impression towards Edmodo depicted in two main aspects; the features and activities when utilizing Edmodo. The participants reported a positive belief in the integration of Edmodo in language learning. The research also found that students' backpacks, quizzes, assignments, posts, and comments were useful features that assist them. Besides, the participants explained how they integrated Edmodo in the EFL classroom, including undertaking quizzes, submitting the assignment, practicing writing, speaking, reading, and listening. This study suggested that Edmodo is a valuable tool for learning languages.

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.

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.

Abstract

This study aimed at improving oral development in the primary school of Ecuador, where teaching English at an early age focuses mainly on expanding reading and writing as productive skills. The purpose of this action research was to individually examine how the use of storytelling through picture description as visual support could benefit communicative skills among a group of second-grade students from a private school in Guayaquil. The study considered vocabulary, organization, and fluency as the basis of oral development using quantitative and qualitative instruments. A pre and post-A1 level speaking assessment measured the improvement of vocabulary and fluency. Results showed that there was an improvement of four points in the descriptive statistics (minimum, maximum and mean). The paired T-samples test revealed the study was highly reliable with a score of p = 0.000. There are few studies related to teaching English as a foreign language in early education worldwide and South America. In Ecuador, no studies were found. Therefore, the implications of this study are addressed to school authorities and other EFL teachers to upgrade the proficiency of their students from early grades.

Abstract

Research on the teaching practices of EFL teachers has revealed that teachers' beliefs are often at odds with their actual classroom practices. Accordingly, the present investigation compared teachers' perceptions and classroom practices of the Communicative Language Teaching principles (CLT) in the provincial directorate of Jerada. This exploration is an attempt to examine teachers' practices, thereby draw a line between what they think they do and what they do in the classroom. To this end, ten teachers were interviewed. Out of this number, only two teachers were observed. The data gathered via semi-structured interviews have shown that the teacher respondents were well-informed about the principles of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). However, the data collected by the classroom observations revealed that the teachers were not teaching English communicatively. Factors such as learner's language proficiency, lack of knowledge as to how to implement the approach, unsuitable textbooks, and lack of motivation on the part of the learner, contributed enormously to the non-use of the CLT. To overcome these obstacles, the findings of the current study suggest that EFL teachers "should" motivate students, use simple fluency-oriented tasks, simplify, model, and scaffold the learning activities. They also recommend to adapt the textbooks to students' needs, research their practice, and invest more in their professional development. The Ministry of National Education is required to provide high-quality training to help teachers cope with the demands of the Communicative Approach.
