The regression equation was Y = 16.487 + 0.809, which meant the constant value of the English learning achievement was 16.487 and the self-esteem value was 0.809, where for every point increased in the self-esteem variable, the learning achievement value would increase about 0.809 point. The coefficient of determination (R2) which was 0.088 pointed out that the students’ self-esteem contributed to their English learning achievement by 88%, while other 12% were contributed by other factors which were not explored in this research.

Abstract

Since Covid-19 was declared a pandemic, educational technology has become trended by playing E-learning. Teachers and students are forced to transform from traditional classes into E-classrooms. However, full e-learning did not give students a massive impact yet, and lately, they have become less motivated since it provided no real communication (Mese & Sevilen 2021). Integrating face-to-face learning (direct interaction) and technology-based learning (digital communication) becomes promising (Garrison &Vaughan, 2008; Rianto, 2020). This study explored the perspectives of 3 pre-service teachers and 27 students towards the blended learning (BL) practices in the EFL context. The setting was the English education department, Universitas Borneo Tarakan. The data were collected using online interviews to gain in-depth information. The findings uncovered that the teachers and students gave positive perspectives to apply this model to the new normal. In addition, BL could reshape the teachers' roles by applying multiple technology use in the teaching and learning process. BL  was also able to broaden students' learning experience and provide them with a technology-based world. This study highlighted some implications, including the need for pre-service teachers' professional development that ultimately will help teachers assist students in succeeding in blended learning.

Abstract

The objectives of the present research were to describe the characteristics of authentic assessment used in the English Textbook “Stop Bullying Now” and to find out the characteristics of the most dominant authentic assessment applied in the book “Stop Bullying Now” used for the eleventh grade students of senior high school. This research was a library research using a qualitative descriptive approach. The data which were obtained from document analysis were analyzed using concurrent activity flows from (Miles et al, 2014). The results of this research showed that the textbook had applied authentic assessments to all English skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. However, among the four skills, listening was the skill with the least activity. The textbook applied eight out of nine characteristics (realistic activity or context, cognitively complex, performance-based, formative assessment, collaborative, defense is required, multiple indicators or portfolio, and mastery expectation). The textbook did not apply the criteria known by students because it did not illustrate how teacher assessed students’ work. The most dominant criteria used in this textbook was realistic activity or context. This textbook also took a lot of materials related to the real-life of students.

Abstract

This research aimed at looking at the linkage or relationship between learning independence, learning creativity, and English achievement; and finding out a significant effect of learning independence and learning creativity towards English achievement of the eighth-grade students of SMPN 1 Lumbis. Acorrelational research was employed at the eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Lumbis. 118 out of 168 students from five classes were the sample of this research by using the random sampling technique, where the Slovin formula was used to determine the students’ representation from each class. The data were gathered by utilizing questionnaires, interview, and document. The results of the analysis showed that: first, there was a simultaneous linkage or relationship between learningindependence, learningcreativity, and Englishachievement. It was proved by the value of probability from eithermultiple correlation or Pearson product moment correlation (0.000) was smaller than the level of significance (0.05). Second, learning independence and learning creativity simultaneously had a positive effect towards English achievement, in which the value of probability was smaller than the level of significance (0.000 0.05). However, there were differences in the direction of effect among the variables, where learning independence had a positive effect towards English achievement in which the value of probability was smaller than the level of significance (0.000 0.05), while learning creativity had an inconstant effect towards English achievement in which the value of probability was greater than the level of significance (0.141 0.05). The result of the determination coefficient was 30.50%, which means that learning independence and learning creativity during the covid-19 pandemic affected students’ English learning achievement by 30.50%. Other factors which influenced 69.50% were not investigated in this present study. One of these factors was the lack of online learning facilities such as unstable internet connection and internet data package.
