Abstract

Learning a foreign language can effectively take place in childhood, which is usually called the golden period. However, recent data shows the number of problems faced by elementary school students. One of the main problems identified is oral competency. This is due to a lack of teachers’ knowledge of teaching methods. The primary objective of this study is to identify whether the implementation of an activity- based learning (ABL) method can improve students’ speaking skills at the Elementary School level. Classroom action research with two cycles was used to investigate the impact of the method at Permata Bangsa Elementary school. The data was collected through observation on 17 students while doing activities and tests administered at the end of each cycle to obtain the result of the learning process. The data obtained were then compared, and the results show the influence on students’ improvement in speaking. Thus, the implementation of ABL at the elementary school can significantly enhance students’ oral competency.

Abstract

Instagram, famous for its easy picture and video sharing features, also has some other features, such as quiz, question, and poll, which can be used as English learning tools. The incorporation of Instagram becomes a valuable resource as most university students use Instagram. This study aims to explore those features and to investigate students’ perceptions of Instagram as learning tools. The research participants are 50 students who speak English as a foreign language (EFL) studying at a university which applies English as a medium of instruction (EMI). The participants follow the researcher’s Instagram account and are notified by email for every new post. They, therefore, can view and participate in those posts. The data is gathered from an online questionnaire. The results suggest that quiz is favored for its surprisingly effective function as a correction tool for common errors. In addition, cartoon post is favored as it provides funny and contextual use of the vocabulary which makes the vocabulary memorable. Hence, Instagram becomes effective English learning environment, which is supplementary to English classes, especially as an error correction and source of vocabulary input reaching massive number of students with only one post.

Abstract

Technology in Education has been widely used due to several reasons. Millennial students’ characteristic, which is technology savvy, is one of them. The Covid- 19 pandemic has also been leading us to use technology in managing the classroom massively. This study aims to identify teachers and students’ Net Promoter Score (NPS) on the Cambridge Learning Management System (CLMS). Mixed methods and an online survey using google platforms were used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. Nine English lecturers and 69 university students who had used CLMS for teaching and learning English level B1 (CEFR) participated. The results show that the lecturers and students’ NPS are 11 and 13, respectively. They imply that CLMS is considered good, resulting in the possibility for the users to reuse the LMS in the future.  However, there is still room for improvement. Fixing technical problems is highly recommended to enhance the possibility for the user to use the installed LMS. Providing more training for teachers is also suggested.
