Abstract

There are two types of English teachers in a higher education, English teachers who have English Language Teaching(ELT) background and those who do not have it. It brings about some problems in the teaching instruction and the achievement of the students, as well. This is a theoretical views used as a preliminary study to develop the model to improve English teachers’ competences in a higher education. A modular model proposed by Kumaravadivelu, with his KARDS model seems appropriate to be applied for the English teachers who are assigned to teach higher education students. This model is at first intended for the prospective teachers of L2 (TESOL), but with some modifications, it can be used to improve the competences of in-service English teachers.

Abstract

English is one of compulsory subjects at the computer science department in a higher education. Since English is not a field of study at the computer science, it is taught as an ESP (English for Specific Purposes). The fact that English is part of the curriculum at the computer science department makes it challenging for both the teachers and the students. The majority of the students will always deal with motivation, whereas teachers face a great challenge in designing an appropriate instructional material that gives short-term and long-term effects to the students. Besides, there are two types of teachers who teach English for computer science students, English teachers who have English education background and English teachers who do not own degrees in English education. These two types of teachers experience their own strengths and weaknesses in designing English instructional materials. This research, therefore, will combine the strengths of the teachers in the development of English instructional materials for computer science students that will have short-term and long-term impacts to the students. This research is applying an action research which is divided into some cycles of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants are three English teachers and two classes of computer science students.

Abstract

This study investigates the extent of the use of Mentimeter interactive presentation software in classroom discussion, and examines the perspectives of students towards Mentimeter as discussion media. A qualitative method was applied in collecting data from the participants. Three students were interviewed regarding the extent of the use of Mentimeter and their perspective about Mentimeter as discussion media. The findings from the interview results show that Mentimeter is a versatile and simple app that can be utilised to support learning activity. Mentimeter is used mostly for elicitation activities, brainstorming, and for clarification during a lesson. The students acknowledge that the anonymity provided by Mentimeter makes them feel safer in participating in class discussion. In addition, this study could become a reference for teachers using and implementing Mentimeter in the classroom.     Keywords: Mentimeter, class discussions, interactive
