Abstract

Recent studies have paid attention to peer interaction as a means of second language (L2) learning. Interaction among learners in carrying out task is believed to mediate the process of L2 learning. The study therefore observed the nature of a pair talk in an interaction while completing a grammar task. The interaction was recorded and analysed by using language related episodes (LRE) in terms of form, lexicality, and mechanism. LRE was used in order to understand the characteristics of a pair talk at homogenous (intermediate-intermediate) level and to examine the participants’ accuracy in completing the task. The results suggest that even though the pair solved the questions in the task using form-focused LRE (F-LRE) and resolved the task interactively, they were not able to make correct decisions over grammar errors.

Abstract

Untuk mencegah penyebaran Coronavirus, Pemerintah Indonesia memerintahkan seluruh institusi pendidikan untuk menyelenggarakan sistem belajar daring, termasuk sekolah dasar (SD). Seluruh pemangku kebijakan di sekolah, termasuk guru dan murid, mengalami perubahan yang tidak terduga dalam hal mode belajar dari pembelajaran tatap muka penuh waktu ke pembelajaran daring melalui berbagai media. Di Indonesia, mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris dianggap sebagai muatan lokal di SD tanpa adanya kurikulum atau kerangka pembelajaran yang disepakati bersama. Di saat yang sama, siswa SD pun mengalami kesulitan dalam pembelajaran daring karena kemandirian belajarnya masih dalam tahap awal perkembangan. Orang tua, sebagai sosok yang berpengetahuan, diharapkan dapat membantu aktivitas belajar daring para siswa. Namun, penelitian yang mengeksplorasi persepsi orang tua dalam pembelajaran daring masih terbatas, terutama di konteks Indonesia saat pandemic global. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari tahu persepsi 40 orang tua Indonesia dalam mendukung proses belajar daring mulai dari awal tahun 2020. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar orang tua menyatakan minat dengan apa yang anak mereka pelajari dan mendukung kegiatan belajar Bahasa Inggris secara daring. Meskipun begitu, sebagian besar orang tua juga memiliki kekhawatiran tentang perkembangan kemampuan produktif Bahasa Inggris, dan aspek lainnya, seperti kurangnya interaksi kelas, media/metode/sumber belajar yang tidak efektif, dan kurangnya durasi belajar.

Abstract

Today, the numbers of English speakers are geographically and culturally diverse. The discussion on which pronunciation model of English should be introduced to learners of English has become under discussion among English language practitioners. Should English teachers teach pronunciation aiming at near native accents or at intelligibility in which learners can understand different models of English? As a country where English is a foreign language and Non Native-English-Speaking Teachers (NNESTs) are vastly available, Indonesia has posed its uniqueness due to its diverse learners’ and teachers’ backgrounds. Under this circumstance, then, there has been a frequent question to whether NNESTs can help learners to develop their English pronunciation. This paper discusses English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) model as suggested by Jenkins (2000) in teaching English pronunciation that can be implemented in the Indonesian context. It suggests that what matters more to learners is improving their intelligibility in English pronunciation rather than aiming for near native accents. English teachers are encouraged to develop a pronunciation instruction that suits the learners’ needs and interests without discriminating any model of English. Finally, a conclusion is provided with my argument that ELF model will be a better model to be implemented in the teaching of pronunciation in the English classroom in Indonesia.

Abstract

Teaching English to young learners (TEYL) is different from teaching adults. Children need constant attention and assistance as well as motivating methods to keep them engaged particularly during online learning in the pandemic era these days. This study aims to investigate English teacher’s perception on teaching English vocabulary to elementary students’ by using storytelling method in a virtual environment. The study asked the following question: What is the English teacher’s perspective on teaching English using storytelling virtually during the pandemic? The study interviewed an English teacher of a private school in Bekasi, Indonesia using a semi-structured interview guide. The study found that the English teacher agreed that storytelling is beneficial to use in teaching English for young learners. In addition, the teacher mentioned that there were several issues during the online learning such as unenthusiastic students, students’ limited access to the gadgets, and students’ passive involvement during the learning. Further, in terms of teaching with storytelling, the teacher would request the students to make a video and retell stories in the textbook. This study concludes that it is paramount for English teachers to continuously provide varied teaching methods in order to solve problems faced by Indonesian elementary students during online learning.

Abstract

This Community Service aims to help enhance the writing skills of female educators and help them prepare the documents needed for further studies. For this reason, female educators such as lecturers and teachers from various regions in Indonesia were invited to attend virtual tutoring through the Zoom platform. This training and mentoring activities were carried out in several meetings and delivered by several resource persons regarding the techniques of writing opinion essays and supporting documents such as study objective and personal statement, needed to continue studies, especially at foreign universities. Nevertheless, despite having received a positive response from the participants, this training was still limited only to the introduction of opinion essays and structure in essay writing and only concerned with writing study objective and personal statement. Therefore, the recommendation for the following programs is providing training that discusses other types of essays on the IELTS test and other skills needed to improve the English competence of Indonesian female educators. In addition, other writing workshops for female educators are also necessary for postgraduate studies in the future. Keywords: Postgraduate Studies Mentoring, Female Educators, Opinion Essay Writing
