Abstract

This study investigated learners’ perspectives on how a teacher explanation can facilitate or hinder their learning. The results suggested that teacher’s use of mixed L1 and L2 in an explanation is preferred by most student-respondents since it can expedite their learning. Using only L2 is also preferred because students believe that it gives them more exposure to English and as English department students, they have to use English. It, however, can impede learning when teachers use difficult words or complicated grammar. In this condition, using simple language helps students understand an explanation. Despite teacher’s use of language, learners’ perspectives on teacher’s behaviors when explaining showed that rapid speaking rate can hinder the process of internalizing an explanation. Conversely, slowing down speech rate can promote a comprehensible input. Toward the use of examples, using examples from daily life is more preferred than the ones presented in the text book since such examples are easy to remember and understand. Lastly, teacher’s use of humor is perceived to motivate student’s learning through relaxed and enjoyable atmospheres. It also helps remember language chunks through which it will be an intake. However, humor can obstruct learning if students focus more on the humor than the lesson.

Abstract

To response to challenges of teaching English for communication, teacher education programs are urged to prepare the student-teachers to meet the challenges. As a part of the preparation, an evaluation on the student’s performance before they graduate is necessarily to be done. This study attempts to weigh up the  capacity of student-teachers from the English teacher education Program, Satya Wacana Christian University, Indonesia using the teacher qualification standard. This involved 26 mentor-teachers from 10 local schools where the student-teachers were doing teaching practicum. The findings from the questionnaire and interview interestingly revealed that the student-teachers are viewed to be good in performing pedagogical knowledge (2.92), pedagogical skills (2.86), personality (3.27), social (3.17), and professional competence (3.10). Apart from the opportunities, teachers, curriculum designers, and policy makers will be taken to examine their  challenges in meeting the standard  and to consider the proposal on what a teacher education can do to improve the pre-service teachers capacity to teach English.

Abstract

For running a successful extensive reading (ER) program, Day and Bamford’s ten ER priciples becomes “key ingredients” (Ng, Renandya, and Chong, 2019. P. 172). This study is aimed at revealing EFL students’ perceptions toward the use of the ER principles in their ER class. To achieve the aim, a questionnaire was distributed to 39 students from English Language Education Program, Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana. Besides, an interview to 10 student-respondents was also conducted. The collected data was then analyzed by classifying them under several themes, creating descriptive statistics, and extracting transcripts of the interviews. The results revealed that EFL student-participants agree that the ER course has applied all ten ER principles. How the ER principles were employed in the course and how they could enhance both students’ linguistic and nonlinguistic competences are also discussed in this paper.

Abstract

Teachers’ teaching practices shape and are shaped by the arrangements in their site of practice. Such arrangements, consisting of the (cultural-discursive) “sayings”, (material-economic) “doings”, and (social-political) “relatings” of the actors involved in and the environment of the practice site, can be defined as “Practice Architectures” (Kemmis, 2019). The practice site that this study focuses on is the teaching practicum activity within a three-month in-service teacher professional education program held jointly by the Indonesian Government and a Higher Education Institution (HEI) (Program Profesi Guru Dalam Jabatan/PPG). Using the framework of Practice Architectures, the study aims to identify the arrangements that occurred and/or were provided by the program in enabling or constraining the program’s standard teaching practicum practices. Through thematic analyses of the teachers’ narratives of their teaching practicum experiences, the results show that these arrangements shaped teachers’ practices in teaching practicum, particularly in the design of the PPG program and the requirements of the assessments. The findings call for the government and HEIs to these arrangements in designing teacher professional development programs, such as the PPG program, to improve future teaching practicum experiences in the program that enable standardised and better teaching practices.

Abstract

Text-based teaching (TBT) has characterized and been emphasized in our national curriculum at elementary and secondary levels. As a consequence, English teaching is based on the TBT principles. Along with the vast development of technology, the implementation of TBT is also integrated with the use of digital technology that is to increase the quality of teaching and learning and to increase students’ technology literacy. This paper reports a workshop on digital TBT in the implementation of “Kurikulum Merdeka.” The objective is to find out teachers’ implementation of digital TBT for teaching English using “Kurikulum Merdeka.” The participants were 26 English teachers under Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran (MGMP) Bahasa Inggris (an English Teachers Forum), Salatiga, Central Java. The methods used in this program were reflective practice and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The findings revealed that most teachers used all the steps of the TBT cycle. All teachers applied Modelling of Text (MOT), but only a few applied Joint Construction of Text (JCOT). The findings on the use of technology for the TBT cycle demonstrated that the teachers used digital technology more in Building Knowledge of the Fields (BKOF) and Independent Construction of Text (ICOT).
