Abstract

Writing scientific articles requires a skill, especially for teachers who want to improve their careers. However, not all teachers have the skills to write good scientific articles. This community service was carried out in two high schools, and three elementary schools in Pasuruan Regency which was held in the year 2020. The community service involved five lecturers across study programs, namely lecturers from English language education, Indonesian language and literature education, and mathematics education. This service aims to describe 1) the problems encountered by the teacher when writing scientific articles, 2) describe the stages of problem solving, and 3) describe the results that have been achieved during mentoring in writing scientific articles for publication. The problem of identifications show that teachers lack of knowledge and skills regarding how to write abstracts,  good background for scientific articles, presentation of discussions,  and writing a bibliography. The stages of problem solving are divided into three stages, namely 1) the planning stage, 2) the implementation stage, and 3) the publication stage. The results of the service show that there are three teachers who can meet the minimum standards of scientific articles to be published in scientific journals. The three articles were published in scientific journals selected by their respective authors and are currently published in a national non-accredited journal.

Abstract

Indonesia is a nation that is rich in cultural artifacts. One of the cultural artifacts is the oral literature which is spread across the archipelago. This study is intended to describe the use of documented local Indonesian oral folktales applied for a paragraph writing class. The oral literature chosen was the Tenggerese oral literature in Pasuruan, East Java, Indonesia. The study used a mixed-method design. The subjects of the study were 46 students of the English Education Study Program who joined a paragraph writing class in Universitas PGRI Wiranegara, Pasuruan. The students’ writing was assessed by using a primary trait scoring rubric. The result shows that 98% of the students were able to make a topic sentence that shows comparison and contrast paragraphs. Although most of the students were able to make comparison and contrast paragraphs (83%), half of them were still unable to develop the ideas in the paragraph well (52%). The probable causes identified were first, the students were not given enough chance to revise and edit their composition, and secondly, the documented local oral literature lacked details in its story development. Yet, the study implies that local oral folklores have a chance to be used as one of the teaching materials for skill courses.

Green project work for process writing amidst the pandemic: Planning, implementing, and reflectionsThe aims of this paper are to discuss the concepts underlying Project-based learning (PjBL) and its syntax and to explore the planning, implementation, and reflection of PjBL in the online teaching of writing a process paragraph on the topic of using Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (3R) principles to save the environment. Thirty-one students joined the paragraph writing course.

The paper discusses how PjBl promotes collaborative work, problem-solving, critical thinking and technology integration. It also illustrates the steps of the implementation of PjBL which include planning, implementing, and reflecting. The project products were the students’ compositions and the videos showing the process in how to do or to make something that reflect the 3R principles.

Abstract

Song is an interesting medium for teaching English in a foreign language context. Through songs, students can learn new vocabulary, the grammar, and the idiomatic expression in an authentic way. The purpose of this paper are 1) to investigate the implementation of songs for listening and speaking activity; 2) to identify the students’ and teacher's problems and solutions in using songs for listening and speaking activities, and 3) to investigate how the students’ listening and speaking activities are assessed through the use of songs. The design of the study is a mixed method explanatory sequential design. The data was firstly collected from the questionnaire and followed with an interview. The researchers used a convenient sampling method because of its accessibility and availability. The targeted population was the eleventh graders of SMA N 1 Lawang. The sample was the 6th parallel class of science major, and the 3rd Social Science major. The total respondents were 34 students.  The result shows that the listening activities of song selection and its comprehension were done at home, while the speaking activity in song interpretation was done in the classroom. The finding also reveals that many students had no problem in the listening comprehension, especially in the accent and pronunciation (41.2%). Some students had grammar, pronunciation, self-confidence, and lack of vocabulary problems in interpreting songs orally even though half of the students were in a neutral position. The solutions for their listening problems, among others, are finding difficult words in the dictionary, memorizing the words and the songs, and listening to native speakers' speech and dialogs from movies and YouTube. While for the speaking problems, the solutions are to have a lot of practice with friends and native speakers, joining speech competitions, and singing English songs. The students' performance in listening and speaking skills were assessed by using scoring rubric prepared by the teachers.

Abstract

ABSTRACTMany educated people are found to be unemployed due to lacks of the job vacancy provided in accordance with their background knowledge at university or college. This can be a serious problem entailing the failure of building economic growth in society. This study investigated the students’ entrepreneurial mindset seen from their essay writing products. This study also used a cross-sectional design. There were 25 subjects from English department of the Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang. The instruments used were a questionnaire and a depth-interview. The results showed that most of the students did not have a good motivation, intention, and experience in doing business due to some factors like having no permission from the parents, no skills for practicing business, no social networks in business, and also feeling taboo to connect education with business in the life. However, the students’ writing performance were mostly good. The study implies that entrepreneurial mindset can be the alternative topic to support the students’ writing skill and be the solutions for leading them to be prosperous people with a bright future behind their education level. Keywords: Entrepreneurial mindset, Writing ability, EFL classrooms
