Abstract: This paper highlights the findings of a study which was undertaken at a vocational higher institution in Indonesia. The aim of the study was to explore English teachers’ perceptions about their English language teaching (ELT) in this institution. Activity theory (AT) was employed as the framework for guiding the study owing to the fact that its focus was on the identification of contradictions occurring in the activity system. From AT analysis, several contradictions could be located within the context of ELT in this institution. Recommendations for the improvement of ELT in this particular institution were also provided.

Abstract

This research was initiated following the widespread claim regarding the success of learner-centered teaching approach across all disciplines. It seeks to examine whether such a claim is true by implementing a theoretical framework of learner centered teaching in an EFL Classroom. A qualitative design involving a teacher of English and a number of learners from a vocational higher institution was used. The findings of this study overall proved that the implementation of this learner-centered teaching framework could make a difference in students’ learning. Their learning became more meaningful, interesting and democratic. Apart from this positive change, it was identified that teacher’s understanding of implementing this framework was still limited resulting in the inconsistency of implementing all aspects of learner centered teaching approach. This study could highlight issues unique to the context of this research but were not covered in the framework. It, therefore, produced an extended framework. Findings from this study can be used for teachers who are interested in implementing the learner-centered teaching approach.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan sebuah sistem informasi manajemen Penelitian dan Pengadian Pada Masyarakat (PPPM) berbasis website di Unit Penelitian dan Pengabdian pada Masyarakat (UPPM) Politeknik Negeri Pontianak (POLNEP). Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan meliputi studi literatur dan model waterfall untuk proses pengembangan perangkat lunak. Penyelenggaraan PPPM yang menggunakan pendanaan internal di Politeknik Negeri Pontianak saat ini dikelola tanpa menggunakan sebuah sistem informasi. Beberapa permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh UPPM, Dosen, dan Reviewer, di antaranya 1) pengelolaan PPPM kurang efisien, 2) terjadinya inconsistency data karena faktor human error, 3) sulitnya mendeteksi orisinalitas penelitian karena data penelitian belum terorganisir dengan baik. Hasil pengujian sistem menunjukkan bahwa meskipun sistem belum menangani semua proses bisnis yang dibutuhkan, beberapa proses bisnis yang sudah diimplementasikan seperti penanganan usulan proposal dapat berjalan dengan baik.
