Abstract

This article explores autonomous learning features and effective strategies for meeting the needs of the autonomous learner. A 4-month ethnographic study examined the learning features of three non-English major undergraduates enrolled in an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course at an Indonesian university. The study also explored the students’ and teacher’s understanding of how the ESP classroom can benefit the autonomous learner. Data gathered through interviews, focus group discussions, and classroom observation indicate four key autonomous learning features: 1) a willingness to accept responsibility; 2) dedicated planning; 3) implementing effective strategies; and 4) monitoring progress. The findings also indicate that a variety of scaffolded and authentic learning materials combined with a flexible and creative teaching approach enhance autonomous learning. We also address how our results are applicable to most educational situations as autonomous learning is not limited to the language classroom. HIGHLIGHTS: The three subjects indicated different processes of autonomy such as monitoring learning progress using a specific task, holistic approach, and regular reflection strategies. Adopting and promoting a spirit of independent learning provides ESP learners with a supportive framework to develop and practice autonomous learning habits The ESP learners not only required to learn general English but also to learn specific English (their content knowledge in English) as their major. This is the novelty of the study. Therefore, this study provides specific add to the theory of autonomous learning.

Abstract

The present study was conducted to investigate Indonesian second language (L2) learners’ Self-Directed Learning (SDL) in English during the online classes due to the Covid-19 pandemic and to investigate whether there was a significant difference in SDL between female and male learners. As online learning is implemented nationwide in Indonesia due to the pandemic, it becomes paramount to investigate learners’ SDL, considered very critical in online learning settings where teachers' ability to check learners' progress is not as extensive as it is in the face-to-face mode of instruction. The participants of the study were 187 undergraduate students taking English for Academic Purposes (EAP) classes. Through the data obtained from the online questionnaire, the study found that learners, in general, reported a high level of SDL even though many of them still embraced procrastination behaviours and considered the pragmatic need to pass the EAP class more important than the actual L2 learning. It also found that there was no significant difference between female learners’ SDL and that of male learners. Based on the findings and analysis of the possible factors, possible contributions of the study are presented along with the possible limitations and suggested directions for future research in the field. HIGHLIGHTS: Learners, in general, reported a high level of SDL. Despite that, many of them still embraced procrastination behaviours and considered the pragmatic need to pass the English for Academic Purposes class more important than the actual L2 learning.

Abstract

Phonemic Awareness has been reported to be one of the predictors to reading comprehension in English as a first language. However, it also comprises the second language reading comprehension. Various studies have reported the effects of English phonemic awareness to reading comprehension in English as a second or foreign language, but less similar research has been reported involving Indonesian EFL learners. Indonesia and English share different phonemes that affect learners' comprehension on English. This study aims to investigate the correlation between EFL learners’ phonemic awareness and reading comprehension. The subjects selected were 100 students from the 3rd semester majoring in English Language Education Program, in one of Indonesian university. There are two test obtained during this research, the first is phonemic identification test in order to measure the level of phonemic awareness, and the second is reading comprehension test to measure students’ reading comprehension skill. Simple linear regression was applied to validate the influence of English Phonemic Awareness to English Reading Comprehension. The result revealed that the correlation coefficient (r) value between the two variables shows .352 degrees with the significance level .000, while the coefficient of determination (r2) shows . HIGHLIGHTS: The ability to identify English phoneme in isolation supports learners to link its letter sound which help them to develop their recognition on alphabetic code. Phonemic identification contributes to phoneme segmenting and blending knowledge that further support learners in word recognition and processing acquisition as the components of reading comprehension skill.

Abstract

Innovation related to Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL) provide opportunities for learners to gain experience using English contextually. This is the implication of the new paradigm of English as an International Language (EIL) in which learning English is no longer aimed at forming learners to speak as the native speakers. Therefore, innovations in TEYL is needed to answer the challenges of changing the status of English in Primary Schools (SD) from subject to extra-curricular. Referring to lesson plans developed by pre-service EYL teachers (PSTs), observation and interviews, the innovations in thematic lessons for TEYL were investigated. The findings showed that all lesson plans have been integrating innovations, including character building in accordance with the 2013 curriculum and intercultural competency that are important for language learning. To interact in the classroom, first language (L1) was used with colloquial variation, code-mixing and code-switching as well as translation. In conclusion, the innovative lessons for TEYL has been practiced by prospective primary school English teachers for preparing themselves to teach at the real school setting after their graduation. It is suggested that further research will be carried out at primary schools participated by in-service teachers and focused on each innovation in order to find TEYL innovative models. HIGHLIGHTS: English for Young Learners (EYL) requires the teachers’ creativity in teaching it. Innovative EYL classes could be characterized by the selection of intelligent themes or topics, ways for delivering new knowledge while giving young learners with context-based English experience, and less demanding evaluation.

Abstract

This research reports on the results of an interview study of nine English teachers at vocational schools (VS) in Indonesia. The study aimed to explore English teachers’ voices of the revitalization program at VS’s in Indonesia. The study shed the light on two major issues of English teaching and learning at VS’s concerning revitalization program implementation. The two main themes were the use of specific technology in the language classroom and video mediated language learning in vocational English classroom.The results indicated that most of teachers more preferably used social media for teaching than utilizing a learning management system (LMS). Teachers have used video mediated teaching method for their English classes either self-production videos or a ready-made video from the internet. English for business was also introduced to students to equip them with basic knowledge for a job selection The results have implications for the implementation of revitalization programs in particular the revitalization of vocational English teaching and learning at SMK. Highlights : Most of teachers more preferably used social media for teaching than utilizing a learning management system (LMS) this is because social media is more practical, handy to use, and equipped with sufficient features, such as voice note, video recording, and device mirroring, which enable teachers to build learning engagement with students. Video mediated EFL teaching is an innovative teaching strategy developed by EFL teachers amidst the crisis of Covid 19. The videos are self-made by teachers and ready to use resources from the internet. The integration of technology into EFL classroom at vocational schools is one of the ultimate goals of the revitalization program at vocational schools across Indonesia.
