Abstract

Blended learning (BL) has widely implemented in higher education setting. However, the application of BL presents a wide range of variation. BL is conducted based the consideration of modalities, methods and instruction. As the impact, each instructor has different strategies in applying BL. Therefore, it is important to explore BL practices in order to recognize strength and weakness of BL in different context. In this self-narrative inquiry research, I would like to narrate my personal experience in implementing BL on some theoretical courses in a bachelor program. The stories cover my BL practices from 2015 until 2019 which explain about modalities, methods and instructions selections. In narrating my stories, I highlight benefit and challenges of every BL practice to emphasize personal reflection from past, present and future events. By connecting three life events, I offer a reflection on how to select effective BL practice based on technical considerations, teaching strategies and instructional design. The reflection is expected to provide a reference for educators in designing blended learning for higher education.

Evaluating the tools that we use to share materials is important to improve the quality of learning. There are some media that we can evaluate, for instance: power point presentation, CD product, online learning, pictures, audio, etc. These media are evaluated from some perspectives, for example: the hardware/software, display of content and effectiveness in learning. In this paper, media evaluation will discuss the evaluation process of instructional multimedia product about reading comprehension in English proficiency course for college students. The product will be evaluated from the content (material, assessment test, language use, etc) and technical problems (font size of the display, color of pictures, etc). The product is developed by author by using software macromedia flash 8 (Gay, 2001:1). In previous research, this product had been validated by media and content expert and had been used to teach reading comprehension in English proficiency class. The result of the research, conducted in 2012, showed that the usage of product in learning English was good to improve students' achievement in learning.

Abstract

Mastering English has become one important skill for students in higher education, especially in university level. As the impact, every university provides English program for students in the faculty or language center. However, not every student can master English fast, for example: students with visual impairments. Students with visual impairment are a group of students who have visual problem; either it is low vision or blind. Students with visual impairment need different approach in learning English. This condition motivates lectures to adapt specific instructional design to support classroom activities.  There are 4 important components in designing instructional design for students with visual impairment, such as students' characteristics, learning objective, method and assessment. The design should be adapted to fully support their inclusion in the classroom. By designing instructional design for students with visual impairments, it is expected that they will be able to comprehend the material and to increase their motivation in learning English.  This paper aimed to understand appropriate instructional design for students with visual impairment. This paper also provides study cases in Inclusion English Class at university level where students with visual impairment and sighted students study at the same classroom. By discussing this issue, it is expected that every lecture recognize basic characteristics of students with visual impairment and choose the appropriate instructional design to accommodate all character of students.

Abstract

Covid 19 pandemic breakout is a sudden wake up call for educators in terms of elevating the quality of EFL online learning activities. Several previous studies have proven that students’ motivation is one of the important aspects in learning English. However, each educator has different teaching practices. There is no standard on how teachers design strategies to motivate their students. Therefore, it is essential to explore various kinds of teachers’ techniques in motivating students. To reveal more motivational techniques in EFL settings, this study aims to observe teacher’s motivational teaching practices in one of Senior High Schools in Yogyakarta. By using qualitative method in a form of an observational study, this research captured online learning activities in an English subject online classroom. The data was collected by using observational checklist and field notes. As additional data, interview was conducted as confirmatory data. An English teacher volunteered herself to be the participant who explained about motivational teaching practices. After collecting data through video recording, LMS activities and interview, the data was analysed by using thematic analysis technique based on motivational teaching practice’s components. The results show that teachers mostly use positive retrospective self-evaluation by providing feedbacks and reward. In addition, teacher also generated initial motivation by maintaining and protecting students’ motivation during learning. In sum, teacher has succeeded to create basic motivational condition. It implies that student-teacher interaction in online learning is not only limited to share materials and conduct assessment but also build positive and safe environment for students.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe students’ interaction in asynchronous blended learning as a part of community of inquiry activities. This research is self-observational study in ICT-based course for pre-service English teachers. There were 91 students who participated in blended learning activities. Data were obtained from offline teaching journals and online activities in Google Classroom Platform. The data were analyzed by using community of inquiry framework to describe social, cognitive presence and teaching presence. The findings showed that offline activities provided more social presence, cognitive presence and teaching presence. Meanwhile, online activities only provided teaching presence and cognitive presence without strong social presence. The implication of this research is students attend the online learning as a part of required instruction in the course only, not because of self-awareness of building knowledge.

Abstract

This study aims to identify reading anxiety among junior high school students. The research design employed a quantitative approach in the form of a survey study. There were 80 respondents who were willing to participate in this study. The respondents were students from one of junior high schools in Mataram, Indonesia.  All respondents were students from grades 8 and 9. To collect the data, this study adapted a questionnaire from Ahmad et.al. (2013) which consists of five domains of reading anxiety, i.e., (1) lack of vocabulary, (2) unfamiliar topic, (3) unfamiliar culture, (4) afraid of making errors, and (5) worry about reading effects. Based on the results, the statement with the highest score is “I enjoy reading a text in English text in English when I know its translation” (M=4.15; SD=.730). Meanwhile, the statement with the lowest score is “In reading aloud in the class I do not understand the text even though it is easy” (M=3.00; SD=1.055). The data imply that the most significant factor in students’ reading anxiety is lack of vocabulary and the least factor is worrying about reading effects.
