<![CDATA[After a year more of living with COVID-19, the teachers’ and students’ resilience is still demanding, particularly regarding language online learning. Both parties must keep struggling to fulfill the learning requirements in times of crisis. One of the challenges in language issues is teaching English for Specific Purpose (ESP) in higher education during emergency remote learning (ERL) including teaching ESP at Poltekkes Kemenkes Malang in 2020-2021. At these times, ESP teachers have to design the materials by taking a lot of consideration regarding the students’ needs, goals, learning model, activities, tools, and feedback that met the emergency due to Coronavirus outbreak. They planned, implemented, and evaluated the learning process until they can find the best ones for the students. This study was a survey research with 23 participants of ESP lecturers. This article presented some best practices of teaching ESP in the online mode during ERL as the best experience of ESP lecturers, in the hope that it will be able to give some new insights for fellow educators to help them to provide better learning experiences for the students.]]>

<![CDATA[The spread of the pandemic COVID-19 has made many changes in educational policy such as the assessment in English teaching and learning process. The process and procedures in the assessment need to be adjusted from face-to-face assessment into blended and online assessments. Not only English teachers, pre-service EFL teachers are also required to be ready and adapt to the changes quickly. To adapt it, the integration of technology in the assessment process has been examined. However, the involvement of technology in the area of formative assessment remains underexplored, particularly in the teaching practicum conducted by pre service EFL teachers. The present study is trying to fill the gaps by investigating pre-service EFL teachers’ perception on technology-based formative assessment which is implemented in their teaching practicum. A total of 57 pre-service EFL teachers completed a Likertscale questionnaire. After fulfilling the questionnaires, there were 19 pre-service EFL teachers who agreed and volunteered to be in a semi-structured interview. The findings show that the involvement of technology in formative assessment is perceived positively by pre-service EFL teachers in their teaching practicum during the pandemic COVID-19. They confess that technology has played its practical role in helping them assess their students. Further, the implementation of technology-based formative assessments promotes the students’ performance.]]>

<![CDATA[This study was conducted under the consideration of the observation in SMPN 39 Semarang that many students faced problems in learning to write a text. This research is aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using clustering technique and peer assessment in teaching writing recount text compared to three-phase technique and the students’ perception of the lesson. A quasi-experimental was used as the research design in this study. The subjects were the eighth graders of SMPN 39 Semarang in the academic year of 2016/2017 with 60 students as the samples. The control group (VIIIC) was treated using three-phase technique and teacher assessment, while the experimental group (VIII D) was taught using clustering technique and peer assessment. The findings revealed that the use of clustering technique and peer assessment significantly improved the students’ achievement in writing recount text. It was proven by the result of t-test in which the t-value (4.31) was higher than t-table (2.00). In addition, based on the result of the questionnaire, 90% of the students agreed that the use of clustering technique and peer assessment improved the students’ writing achievement. All in all, the use of clustering technique and peer assessment is more effective for teaching writing recount text to junior high school students than three-phase technique and teacher assessment.

The aim was to describe the implementation of Think-Pair-Share in teaching reading comprehension by English teachers, reveal the difficulties faced by English teachers in teaching reading comprehension using Think-Pair-Share technique, and explain how the English teachers solve their problem in teaching reading comprehension using Think-Pair-Share technique. In this study, I used qualitative method. The participants of this research were all of the English teachers in SMK N 1 Randudongkal in the academic year of 2016/2017. In this research, I used questionnaire, interview, classroom observation and document analysis as data collection methods. The result revealed that the implementation of Think-Pair-Share in teaching reading comprehension was quiet different for each teacher such as including all language skills, using game as variation, or implementing Think-Pair-Share with no variation. This study showed that there were two main problems faced by the English teachers: the lack of preparation and students’ limited vocabulary. In conclusion, Think-Pair-Share was an interesting and helpful technique that helped English teachers in the teaching and learning process. Besides, it helped students to be actively engaged in the classroom activity.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper is based on a study aimed to find out the types of thematic progression patterns the students mostly employ in their recount texts and to examine the coherence of fourth semester students’ recount texts viewed from their thematic progression of the English Department, Universitas Negeri Semarang in the Academic Year of 2015/2016 who took Genre-Based Writing (GBW) class in Rombel 1. This study was a written discourse analysis which was used to figure out the realization of meanings. The findings showed that all of the students employed more than one pattern in their recount texts. They tended to use combination between reiteration (constant), zig-zag (linear), and multiple theme patterns. However, reiteration was the most dominant one. The second dominant pattern was zig-zag pattern. The third pattern found in the students’ recount texts was multiple theme. The analysis also showed that the number of clauses and the thematic progression patterns produced by the students are not equivalent. It means that there are many clauses which are not related to one another. The students often introduced some new themes at the beginning of the clause without any relation with other clauses and they break the well signposted progression of the text. It can be concluded that most of the recount texts produced by the students are not coherent.]]>
