Abstract

One of the major constraints of the teaching of English as a foreign language (EFL) is the deficient opportunities to apply the lessons students learn in the classroom in a meaningful context. Students may have a lot of knowledge about the language but may not be able to apply the knowledge in real life communication. Students who study EFL in conventional classrooms will suffer the most. This paper discusses a practical framework for teachers of EFL who would like to alter their traditional classes, which mostly happen in the classroom, to authentic learning activities or activities that promote real-life applications of knowledge, which happen in real-world situations. I showcased in detail the implementation of the framework in one EFL course at the English Education Program of a private university in Indonesia. I also discussed the drawbacks, possible solutions as well as the pedagogical implications with some students’ excerpts of their reflections toward the activities to support the discussion.

Abstract

This study examined the learning experiences of students of English as a Foreign Language in a culture trip that was conducted within the students' own multicultural society (Indonesia).  The culture trip was aimed at providing the students with hands-on experience to learn about cross-cultural adjustment, skills to relate to people of other cultures, to be independent, and to act responsibly. Those skills are parts of the skills that people need to perform in the 21 st century environments. The study was guided by a research question: what were the students' learning experiences during the culture trip? The qualitative data for answering the research question were collected from the students' individual written reports of the trip, and the results of open-ended questionnaires given after the trip. The findings showed that for many of the students, the trip was their first independent travel experience which provided not only cross-cultural adjustment learning experience but also learning lessons about many of the skills needed in the 21 st century such as communication, using information technology, being self-directed, independent and responsible, managing goals and time, collaboration and working in a team. The study may be useful for teachers of language who would like to provide cross-cultural experiences and soft skills to the students to function effectively in 21st-century environments.Keywords: authentic learning activities; cross-cultural adjustment; 21st century skills

Abstract

In this changing era, which is characterized by the interconnected world, and the increasing mobility of people, the need to be able to communicate inter-culturally is evident. To be successful in intercultural communication, one does not only need to be linguistically competent but also culturally knowledgeable and sensitive. Bearing in mind these cultural needs, this paper details the scavenger hunt technique as a tool for enhancing culture learning and intercultural communication practice. Although this technique applies to students of any major, this study was specifically implemented to a group of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in Indonesia. Participants of this study were nine (9) male and twenty (20) female students of The English Language Education Program at a private university in Central Java, Indonesia. The students did the scavenger hunt in a group of four or five during their three-day trip to a multicultural setting in Indonesia: Bali island, and documented the activities in vlogs. The students’ vlogs which were data of this study were analyzed by using a qualitative content analysis approach. The findings showed that the scavenger hunt task resulted in the students' learning on cultural knowledge, intercultural communication, intercultural adaptation, information technology, and soft skills. During the three-day program, the students could also use English in a meaningful way. The study presented the strengths, weaknesses, and recommendations of this study, as well as some ideas for further research.Keywords: culture learning, intercultural communication, EFL,scavenger hunt.

Abstract

This study was conducted out of the researcher’s teaching reflection while teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) online class during the pandemic of COVID-19, a time when face-to-face courses had to be converted to online classes. Her choice of educational tool for her EFL e-learning environment utilized a Facebook closed group. Her experiences in utilizing a Facebook closed group for her EFL e-learning environment and the students’ views were the main topics of this study. Eighteen EFL freshmen participants were selected in this study. The researcher used data from a questionnaire with some closed and open-ended questions. The findings indicated that the students found the Facebook closed group a comfortable, practical, and useful e-learning environment. The students’ familiarity with the interface helped them to immediately focus on the class activities instead of learning how to use the tool. Most students viewed the Facebook closed group as positive for class interactions, creative work, opinions, and express feelings. A few dislike voices were related to the display quality of Facebook, the asynchronous and silent communication on Facebook. Accordingly, utilizing a Facebook closed group might be worth considering for learners who have not been adequately prepared with the technology for joining an online class.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian pada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberdayakan para peserta untuk menggabungkan budaya dan pemahaman anatr budaya dalam pengajaran Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing (EFL). Materi budaya berfokus pada pengajaran budaya yang beragam dan refleksi pada budaya lokal. Tiga belas (13) guru bahasa Inggris di SMA dan universitas dari Provinsi Sulawesi Utara mengikuti kegiatan daring ini yang menggunakan aplikasi Zoom pada 13 Juli 2022. Sesi ini terdiri dari 1). pemaparan penulis tentang budaya, aspek-aspeknya dan tujuan pengajaran budaya, 2). beberapa tugas untuk peserta, dan 3). diskusi kelompok tentang bagaimana menggabungkan materi budaya dalam materi pengajaran bahasa Inggris mereka. Di akhir sesi, para peserta menyampaikan hasil diskusi kelompok, dan sesi diakhiri dengan tanya jawab. Secara keseluruhan, webinar ini berhasil. Namun jika kegiatan seperti ini akan dilakukan lagi, para peserta harus lebih dibimbing untuk mengembangkan budaya internasional selain budaya lokal. Akan lebih baik juga jika kegiatan ini dilakukan dalam dua sesi terpisah daripada hanya satu sesi, sehingga peserta memiliki cukup waktu untuk mengerjakan tugas dan merevisi pekerjaannya setelah mendapat umpan balik dari peserta lain dan instruktur. This community service activity aims to empower the participants to incorporate culture and interculturality in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction. The cultural material focuses are on the teaching of diverse cultures and the reflection on the local culture. Thirteen (13) high school and university English teachers from North Sulawesi Province joined this online activity using a Zoom platform on July 13, 2022. This session is comprised of 1). the author’s presentation about culture, its aspects and objectives of teaching culture, 2). some tasks for the participants, and 3). a group discussion on how to incorporate cultural materials in their EFL instruction. By the end of the session, the participants shared the group discussion results, and the session was ended with questions and answers. Overall, this webinar was successful. But if this kind of activity will be conducted again, the participants should be guided more on developing international culture besides the local culture. It will also be better if this activity is conducted in two separate sessions instead of one session only, so that the participants could have enough time to do the task and revise their work after getting feedback from their peers and instructor.
