Abstract

Textbooks play an important role in language teaching practices as the core source of knowledge. Meanwhile, the 21st century demands students having more advanced skills to solve the multifaceted and complex life situation. In fact, there are still limited studies evaluating textbooks based on the inclusion of 21st century skills. Looking at the gap, this study aimed to analyze the representation of 21st century skills in an Indonesian EFL textbook. A content analysis research design was applied in this study. The subject of the study was an EFL textbook used by grade 7 students. The results of the study revealed that there were 12 out of 15 of the 21st century skills presented in the textbook. The most dominant skills were communication and collaboration. The representation of the skills was done through some learning activities/tasks such as goal, input, procedure, teacher/learner role, pictures and notes. However, this textbook did not provide sufficient topics and materials about information, communication and technology (ICT). Therefore, it is suggested for further revision to include topics and materials about ICT.

Abstract

During the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, many educational institutions have adapted various online teaching modes. However, studies exploring the employment of synchronous online discussion for teaching English in higher education context were still limited. This study aimed at investigating EFL university students’ perceptions and challenges on the use of synchronous online discussions. Employing virtual observations and semi-structured interviews, five Master students of English education study program of a public university in Bandung participated in this study. Data were based on three domains of communication types for e-learning; content-related, planning of tasks and social supports.

They believed that synchronous online discussion was a good online teaching mode where task negotiation, task planning, opinions, questions and answers can be done easily. In addition, they could improve critical thinking and writing skills as well as get social supports. Meanwhile, poor internet connection and misunderstanding of tasks became the challenge. HIGHLIGHTS Covid-19 pandemic demands the employment of online learning mode. Synchronous online discussion offers distinctive features for accommodating higher education learning, specifically in the teaching of English. Data analysis based on three domains namely content-related, planning of tasks and social supports would be administered.

Abstract

The demands of English as an international language keep increasing along the time. Through time, the needs for learning English vary for different purposes. Then, the realization comes to the surface that not all groups of learners need to learn general English. Thus, the design of English courses is developed for specific purposes as they are best known as English for Specific Purpose (ESP). The needs for learning English in specific purpose enable English teachers to pose themselves in different challenges other than in formal education. This paper aims at investigating the motivation of some English Education Department graduates for working as English instructors at English courses. The qualitative data was obtained by conducting an interview to some English instructors in an English course in Yogyakarta. After analyzing the data, it was found that despite its challenges, some English Education graduates prefer to work in English courses to regular schools. With all privileges of working in an English course, some general motives underlie their working preferences. Among of the factors are flexible teaching situation, more chances for improving personal competence, higher salary and moderate career prospect.

Abstract

The trend of implementing EMI is getting raised across countries including Indonesia. Yet, the majority of previous studies merely focused on exploring EMI practices in tertiary education rather than primary-secondary education. Thus, this study is intended to uncover the implementation of EMI in a private primary school by focusing on three main issues: typology, teachers’ perceptions, and challenges. Qualitative approach featured with semi open-ended questionnaire and semi structured interview were applied in this study. The results reported the kind of EMI implemented in the school. Also, teachers’ perceptions and challenges of implementing EMI, and pedagogical implication are discussed in this study.

Abstract

Learning style becomes a familiar theory for many English language teachers. With the hypothesis of matching instructions and learning styles resulting in effective learning, many of the English language teachers apply the learning style theory within their teaching practices. However, recent studies found that learning style is a myth since there were flaws that appeared in the learning style instruments and hypothesis. This study presents in-depth discussions about the pros and cons of learning styles. Detailed descriptions about the implication for English language teachers entailed at the end of the discussions. This study concluded that English language teachers may focus on (1) assessing students’ background knowledge and interests, (2) identifying students’ lacks and necessities, (3) provide more engaged teaching media and learning materials, (4) boosting students’ autonomy rather than merely getting involved in the raging debates of learning style.

Abstract

Over the past few decades, technologies grew rapidly, transforming traditional instructions to be more digitalized and stimulating many researchers to study digital literacy practices in a school-educational context. However, studies exploring digital literacy practices in the context of tertiary education are still scarce. Within the qualitative approach, this study investigated digital literacy practices by EFL (English as a Foreign Language) postgraduate students. Moreover, it intensively discusses the kinds of digital tools used by the participants and the purposes of using them. Additionally, the way the participants conceptualized digital literacy was also elaborated. Thirty-four EFL Master students of a public university in Bandung, Indonesia, participated in this study. An online open-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were applied in data collection. Meanwhile, eight dimensions of digital literacy in the Hague and Payton’s frameworks were used as the basis of the thematical analysis of the interview data. Results showed that the participants conceptualized digital literacy as soft skills for managing digital information covering the acts of searching, comprehending, evaluating, creating, and sharing. The prominent result of this study relates to how the participants used digital tools for academic/research and general purposes. Subsequently, this study recommends that tertiary education institutions provide more training on maximizing digital tools for academic writing and broader access to prepaid journal articles. Further exploration of lecturers’ digital literacy practices is highly recommended.
