Abstract

The development of industry in the modern era has led to the growth of vocational schools in Indonesia.  for that reason, vocational schools need to adapt or change the general English (GE) learning materials into English learning materials for specific purposes (ESP). therefore, this current study aims to investigate the need for ESP materials for agriculture students at Indonesian vocational schools. This study employed descriptive research to describe the agriculture students’ need for ESP materials.  The participants of this research were 25 students of XI grade agriculture students at vocational school. This research used a questionnaire that was developed to find out the ESP needs of agriculture students. Moreover, the data from the questionnaire were analyzed by seeing the frequency of participants’ answers then the data were presented in the form of a chart or figure. The results of the study showed that the English learning objective of the agriculture students should make the students able to communicate in English well. Then, English learning materials for agriculture students should be blended with the agriculture materials such as cultivation plants and processing agricultural products. Also, English learning activities for agriculture students should involve students actively by group work, making projects, and using current media technologies in the learning process. Eventually, the results of this study can be used as a reference in mapping and developing ESP materials especially for agriculture students at vocational schools.

Abstract

Effective non-native English teachers (NNETs) are essential to facilitate students to develop their English mastery. However, while students are directly affected by teachers’ instructions, they have been limitedly involved in teacher education and development research. The current study aims to explore the qualities of effective non-native English teachers (NNETs) from students’ perspectives in Tanjungpinang, Indonesia. This study was mixed-method research specifically an explanatory sequential design. In the quantitative phase, 380 students were selected using cluster sampling techniques. Meanwhile, in the qualitative phase, six students were purposely selected based on their English proficiency levels and gender. The instruments used were a questionnaire adapted from Park and Lee (2006) and an interview guide. To analyze the questionnaire data, descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were employed. MANOVA test was run to seek significant differences by students’ gender and English proficiency levels. Meanwhile, the qualitative data were coded to identify the emerging patterns. The results show that the qualities concerning teachers’ socio-affective skills gained the highest mean scores compared to those concerning teachers’ subject matter knowledge and pedagogical skills. This study also confirms that there was a significant difference among students in perceiving effective NNETs by English proficiency levels. This study is expected to help various stakeholders to improve pre and in-service EFL teacher education and development in Indonesia.

Abstract

Along with the growing practice of teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in non-English departments of tertiary education, it is essential to investigate the challenges faced by ESP teachers. It can be a basis for proposing policies for the improvement of ESP practice. This study was driven by the fact that ESP classes in non-English departments are allocated limited credit hours, and the teachers are generally General English teachers with no experience and training in teaching ESP. Thus, this study attempted to investigate the fundamental challenges faced by ESP teachers in one state and four private higher education institutions. The data of this qualitative study were obtained through interviews with five ESP teachers. The interview questions were mainly concerned with the knowledgeability and competence in teaching related to subject-specific contexts, adequacy of ESP training, needs analysis, and classroom condition. The findings reveal that the evident challenges encountered by ESP teachers were: lacking knowledge on students’ field of study, lacking of ESP training, lacking of proper needs analysis, large classes, and various learners’ English competencies. The findings of this study suggest that policymakers (stakeholders) should pay more attention to the practice of ESP teaching, especially in non-English departments, by reforming policy in order to minimize the problems faced by ESP teachers and to improve the practice of ESP teaching.

Abstract

This study reports needs analysis results. It aims to analyze students' needs in an effort of developing the learning strategies of direct corrective feedback in an EFL Writing class context. The initial step is to investigate the needs of students in receiving feedback as well as teacher educators' strategies in providing feedback. 39 students and 3 teacher educators are involved in this study. They are from two private universities. The questionnaire, as the main instrument, is in a form of closed-ended for students and closed along with the open questionnaire for teacher educators. The result of the analysis indicates that feedback plays an important role in overcoming students' problems in writing. It reflects that students thoroughly need feedback, either in oral corrective feedback or written corrective feedback. Thus, it concludes that the need for effective feedback must be balanced by the students' efforts to respond to it as a form of the learning process. Both direct and indirect feedback is helpful for students either in oral or written form.
