Abstract

Associated with grammar-translation method, translation is still often seen as a mere replacement of linguistic forms, which is a far cry from its nature as an act of communication. On the other hand, while being criticized for not assisting learners enough to use grammar in a communication context, isolated grammar teaching has its own merits and is still widely practiced. By implementing translation for meaning-making, this action research seeks to examine how translation may be integrated into the traditional grammar teaching to assist tertiary EFL students to learn L2 forms in communicative contexts. With translation employed at the sentence and discourse levels after the practice session, it was revealed through the participants? reflections that translation exercises may further consolidate students? knowledge of how to use specific forms in various contexts, especially as it relates to lexico-grammatical aspects, help deal with L1 interferences, and are an effective way to raise students? awareness of the essential role of grammar in meaning-making.DOI: doi.org/10.24071/llt.2020.230112

Abstract

This qualitative study examines how advanced EFL learners use translation in writing, its perceived effects on their written product, and their feelings concerning its use. As translation is generally associated with less competent students, this research focuses on high-level ones. Involving 29 advanced EFL students from a reputable English language faculty in Indonesia, the study collected data through questionnaires using close and open-ended questions. This research demonstrated that, although employed less, translation was still a crucial means for scaffolding among the students. It was shown that creating short chunks in L1 for subsequent translation was the most common strategy while all the participants also self-reportedly practiced mental translations from L1 to L2 in various degrees. This resort to translation often seemed inevitable, but students revealed having mixed feelings towards the use of the interlingual strategy. This study highlights the need to develop awareness among language learners that translation is a valid tool of language learning and the necessity to teach them the skill to translate.

Abstract

Peer teaching has been widely applied in university settings to assist language learners. However, concerns have been raised about the potential impact on learner autonomy as this teaching method involves a more able learner tutoring a lower-level one. Despite this, little attention has been given to examining this issue. For this reason, this qualitative study investigates whether peer teaching can help foster tertiary EFL students' autonomy in isolated grammar learning, which may serve as more intensive training to improve metalinguistic knowledge and grammar competence within restricted time frames. Based on reports from 29 survey participants and 11 interviewees, the study finds that peer teaching can promote learning autonomy, with students engaging in various activities to enhance their learning during tutoring and/or the peer teaching program. Participants reported improvements in learning motivation, subject understanding, problem-solving skills, and monitoring and evaluating skills. However, some students, especially those with lower abilities, appeared to be more reliant on peer tutors in constructing their knowledge, providing self-study materials, and frequency of grammar self-study. This study provides crucial qualitative findings that shed light on the effects of peer teaching on learner autonomy, particularly for EFL teacher education students' grammar learning.

Abstract

Often perceived as a challenging subject among many tertiary EFL students, grammar may present more difficulties to the learners when delivered online, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Within such a situation, autonomous learning, which earlier literature has suggested to be crucial in helping students with grammar learning, would be even more imperative for their success. Hence, this study attempts to investigate whether EFL tertiary students in Indonesia practice autonomous learning and how they perceive learning autonomy for their online grammar class. As many as 82 Indonesian students who had taken an online intermediate grammar course in a respected private university were involved in this study. A questionnaire with close and open-ended questions was used for the data collection. The findings indicate that although students mostly had positive views towards autonomy in online grammar learning and claimed to practice it, the autonomy level tended to be low. Factors such as fatigue from online learning, distractions, overwhelming assignments, and lack of study skills, seemed to have contributed to the difficulties in practicing learner autonomy.
