Abstract

The competency of a lecturer is required for a successful learning process that leads to increased student accomplishment. The present study investigates (1) the profile of students' writing skills at the Port Shipping Management Department of Polytechnic of Makassar Merchant Marine (PIP) through a writing test, and (2) the influence of lecturers' personal and social competence on students' writing proficiency in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom settings using qualitative data. The study employed purposive sampling to select 3 lecturers and 30 second-semester students from the Port Shipping Management Department of PIP. Quantitative data were collected through a writing test administered to the 30 students, while qualitative data were gathered using semi-structured interviews with the 5 lecturers, focus group discussions with the students, and classroom observations. The findings revealed various levels of writing proficiency among PIP students and highlighted the positive impact of lecturers' personal and social competence on students' writing proficiency. The better the personal influence and social competence of the lecturers, the better the students' writing capabilities are. The study emphasizes the need for continued development of lecturers' personal and social competence to foster a supportive and engaging learning environment in maritime education and training.

Abstract

This study aimed to find out how students’ perceptions of translanguaging practices in EFL classroom. This study used a qualitative research approach. The data for this study was gathered through interviews using a qualitative descriptive method. The interview process was conducted with five students from class IX.2 SMPN 4 Bulukumba. The findings showed that students believed translanguaging makes them learn English more easily, feel comfortable in class, communicate with the teacher effectively, be more interested in learning, and add new vocabulary. Some students explained that they experienced difficulty during the use of translanguaging by the teacher, but most of them realized the importance of translanguaging in developing their English skills. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that the implementation of translanguaging has a positive impact in the process of teaching and learning English in EFL classroom. So, for English teachers, it is recommended to use translanguaging in classes where students’ English ability is still low with the aim that students can understand the material better, create a supportive environment, and encourage students to be active in class. Therefore, the use of translanguaging should be balanced and not replace the use of English as a whole.
