Abstract

This paper investigates the self-regulation practices in reading classes among students from a private university in Yogyakarta. In an era where students and their thinking process are the centers of the teaching and learning process, each student’s metacognition skills need to adjust the teaching methods used inside and outside the classroom. To that end, students must be aware of their metacognitive skills and self-regulating behaviors. The research method used in this paper was the quantitative method. The researchers used the interview and focused group discussion (FGD) method on gaining information regarding students' awareness of their metacognitive skills and self-regulation habits. The participants were students from a pre-determined private university in Yogyakarta, where the reading classes are known to be student-centered. The results showed that while the students could create strategies and reflect upon said strategies, they still lacked a critical component of self-regulation, namely the preparation phase. This discovery means that the students need to be aware of the importance of preparing to meet specific goals and self-motivation.

Abstract

In the IELTS writing preparation class, the teacher can facilitate the students by integrating the stylistic approach in building writing students’ style. Not only achieving the primary goals in English proficiency by focusing on the writing style, but students can also comfortably share their ideas in their style. The paper examined the stylistics integrated material in IELTS writing through noun phrase construction. This study employed a qualitative method and a descriptive design. The data were collected using structured observation sheets as the instrument and were analyzed stylistically. Writing materials and the writing results of 12 students at an English course were collected. Results showed that stylistics was used in phrase complexity and ambiguity as a part of writing strategies. It was supported by the three dominant types of noun phrases produced by the students in their writing: determiner + head, determiner + pre-modifier + head, and pre-modifier + head, as the evidence of the implementation of integrated material in IELTS writing. For the noun phrase uses, the students could vary the noun phrases in their complexity, function, and type in their tests, though the variations in each of those aspects were still low. Implications of the results are stylistics could be implemented in language learning-teaching activities in general. It could encourage students to develop their writing style for self-expression and more explicit writing products.

Abstract

The lack of exposure and practice in learning English due to the short meeting hours is the main factor contributing to the low level of midwifery students’ English-speaking competence in Indonesia. Mobile-Assisted Language Learning can be one of the ways to cope with this problem. A plethora of learning speaking applications is available in the App Store and Play Store. However, midwifery students need more specific English to meet their needs. This study aims at developing a model of android application to enhance the speaking competence of midwifery students and anchors in the instructional design model. The design was in the five stages, namely: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. Twenty-one midwifery students and two experts of material development and information technology were participants for product implementation and evaluation. The researchers obtained the necessary data through observations, questionnaires, and interviews. The finding of this study was that an android application model named BEM (Basic English for Midwives) developed in this study could enhance the midwifery students speaking competence.

Abstract

This qualitative research aims to explore the reported experiences of five Afghan EFL instructors at the English Department, Herat University, concerning the creative teaching of English. It specifically investigated the challenges and the opportunities regarding the creative teaching of English that these teachers have encountered in their courses. The researchers employed constructivist perspectives of learning in which learners make meaning out of their previous experiences and knowledge (Hill, 2014) as the theoretical framework to analyze and interpret the data. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed by using thematic analysis. The findings indicated that creative teaching made the learning process fun. It also revealed that creative teaching increased students’ participation and motivation because it put students in the center of the learning process. The findings also demonstrated that some students showed resistance toward change—moving from a teacher-centered approach to a student-centered approach—when creative teaching was implemented. It also showed that some instructors needed the support of higher education administrators to incorporate creative teaching into their courses as there was a conspicuous lack of professional development needs in this regard. The study argued that the creative teaching of English positively impacted students’ academic achievements. This study could serve as a significant way to introduce information and strategies on creative teaching to L2 instructors in similar contexts as Afghanistan. The results provided implications for creative teaching in EFL classrooms as well as for the future of teaching English in ESL and EFL contexts.

Abstract

Literature-based Approach (LbA) is popularly used in reading. In implementing the approach, teachers use literary works to be read by students. The literary works that the students read to get the language input are commonly authentic which means that by reading the texts, students can identify a model of language and several aspects of language such as expression, vocabulary, grammar, and culture and how to use them in a real context. Realizing the importance of input, a teacher in a university in Indonesia implemented this approach in a reading class for freshmen. This research which belongs to descriptive qualitative research put attention on investigating what the students perceived toward the implementation of the LbA to assist them in vocabulary building. The data were collected by interviewing five students who were chosen because it was their first time reading an English language novel and they were the top six students in terms of vocabulary scores. To interview the participants who are presented using pseudonym, a semi guided interview guide- line was used as an instrument. The research results show that students were anxious joining this class at the beginning. However, after some meetings and reading several pages, they started to enjoy reading the novel because the novel was interesting and entertaining. In addition, the topic was closely related to their daily life. After getting new words, one of participants wrote them on paper and stuck it on her room wall. Four other students wrote the words on a notebook as a vocabulary journal. Besides by doing those things to help them recall the words, the students also used them in retelling quizzes for writing and in daily conversation with mates for speaking.

Employing a qualitative approach, this study was conducted by selecting three English teachers from three different levels of education, who have been taking part in the EDP for a minimum of two performances. Data were collected through a one-on-one interview with each participant. The finding revealed that the teachers, at first were doubtful in participating in the EDP, however, after many rehearsals, they found enjoyment. In addition to their feelings, the teachers expressed their likes and dislikes in participating the EDP too. They also mentioned about the effect of their participation in the EDP towards their English skills. It turned out that by participating in the EDP, the teachers can express the English language function, enhance their pronunciation skill, practice communication skill, ease reading, and improve vocabulary. In addition to the effect on their English skills, their participation in the EDP contributes to the way they teach English to their students.

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.
