Abstract

The purposes of this study were to describe types of written corrective feedback applied by the lecturers on students’ research proposal and to find out the favorable types of written corrective feedback for the students of English study program at a public university in Jambi. This research used a questionnaire to collect the data from students and lecturers. The results of this research revealed that there were three types of written corrective feedback that were often used by the lecturers. They were direct corrective feedback, grammatical description, and electronic corrective feedback from metalinguistic feedback. Additionally, there were four types that sometimes were used by the lecturers. They were indirect corrective feedback, error codes by metalinguistic feedback, unfocused and focused feedback. The last type was reformulation. It was rarely used by the lecturers. The results also showed that direct, electronic, and unfocused corrective feedbacks were very favorable for students while a brief grammatical description (metalinguistic), focused feedback, error codes (metalinguistic), and reformulation feedback were somewhat favorable. The last type was indirect corrective feedback which was very unfavorable for the students. Implications and recommendations are discussed.

Abstract

Speaking is one of the most difficult skills in language learning particularly in learning English as a foreign language. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the issues of speaking anxiety, the factors influencing their speaking anxiety, and the strategies they employed to alleviate the anxiety at one English teacher education program in Jambi, Indonesia. In order to collect the data, a semi-structured interview was employed and guided by an interview protocol to stimulate the participants in answering the questions during the interview. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we only had access to invite 12 students to participate in our study-they were nine male and three female student teachers. To select the participants, we employed purposive sampling with a convenience case strategy. Through thematic analysis (Braun and Clark, 2006), we identified three major themes of factors influencing the participants’ speaking anxiety, including 1) language barrier (Grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency); 2) psychological issues (low motivation, and personality); and 3) learning proponents (lecturers, classmates, and unfamiliar topic). To alleviate their anxiety, the participants have undertaken strategies, such as 1) self-management (self-practice and doing positive activities) and 2) getting-help strategies (friends’ help and motivation).

Abstract

The following research examined the experiences and perspectives of five students who took a case-based critical reading and writing course. Many university students in Indonesia lack critical thinking skills due to our learning system, which places little emphasis on critical reasoning in assessing and solving problems. They are used to be taught to memorize information rather than examining, analyzing, and solving problems. In this regard, we designed a case study to examine our students' perceptions of the difficulties associated with case-based learning and their strategies for resolving the issues as they moved throughout their case-based learning. We chose five students who had taken the course and collected data from them to learn about their experiences and perspectives. We gathered information about their experiences through observation, note-taking, a survey, an analysis of their writing, and an in-depth interview. Our findings indicated that the students encountered difficulties working in groups, identifying appropriate cases and resolving them, and writing critical commentary for reflective writing. However, as the lectures continued, they overcame their difficulties by developing a collaborative spirit throughout the course, mastering the art of case construction, and paying close attention to their grammar when completing their writing assignments.
