The     instruments address students’    religiosity and character strengths, endorsing male (114 or 30.4%) and female (261 or 69.6%) students who lived in and outside the Klaten district. 313 or 83.5% of respondents were residing in Klaten district,  whereas the remainder of, 62  or  16.5%, were originally inhabited from outside Klaten. This study used a quantitative descriptive with 375 respondents. Data were collected from a Google form to facilitate respondents’ accessibility in filling out the questionnaire and analyzed by using multivariate assumption tests of normality, homogeneity, and covariance variance matrix. The results proved that the value of religiosity (F = 1.641; p = .000) and character strength (F = 1.683; p = .000) from the Levene’s test, whilst the homogeneity test of covariance showed 7.104; F = .771; p =.643. Students’ religiosity ranked in the medium category (67.2%) as well as students’ character strength  (66.4%).   These meant no significant differences in religiosity and character strength among gender-based students’ domiciles.

Abstract

This study examines the barriers to reading academic texts among university students for whom English is a foreign language. While many previous studies have focused on instructional design for building academic reading skills, this study focuses on the fundamental issues that need consideration before setting up the instructional design for English academic reading. Taking an interpretive phenomenological viewpoint, this study applied a qualitative method through an online survey and interviews. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, online data collection was the most accessible means of approaching the students. Ninety-five students from various non-English study programs (courses) at a private university voluntarily responded to the open-ended online questionnaire, providing survey data. Five students provided further data through individual interviews on their academic reading challenges. A thematic analysis of the survey data revealed four themes and eight subthemes representing the students’ challenges, which were explored further in the interviews. These challenges and the relationships among them are discussed. The results suggest that most students depended on single-word meanings as their prime strategy for achieving comprehension. However, this strategy also represented the most notable challenge in their effective reading of English academic texts. They failed to comprehend the text effectively because their translation did not make sense. Furthermore, the nature of the reading strategies of the student cohort had an impact on their baseline reading proficiency.

Abstract

This study aims at promoting undergraduate student teachers’ teaching practicum that highlights the pedagogical and teaching performance within the designated speaking class. Four senior student teachers participated in five weeks’ teaching practicum through the purposive sampling selection. The method of this study used observation, questionnaire, and teaching practicum documents to facilitate the qualitative analysis in relevance with student teachers’ teaching files, running-methods course, and classroom observations. The core practices of probing pedagogical activities engaged student teachers in intrinsic discussions explicitly and implicitly. The substantial pedagogical matters and their sub-matters were experientially derived from the relevant practicality into the common sense of instruction criteria on planning, implementation, and reflection stages. The discussion substance highlighted daily speaking performance in vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, fluency, and content among freshmen and sophomores. This study recommends student teachers improve their theoretical and practical teaching methods by accommodating enumeration and sense-making classroom discussion.
