Abstract

Teachers’ use of language was believed to give impact for the success of language learners in one way or another. As some teachers’ speech included managing classroom, giving instructions, and providing feedbacks, it is inevitable that a teacher would use the power and make the students uncomfortable. To soften the speech or lessen the impact to the students, a teacher could use some strategies of politeness inside the classroom. Seeing how linguistic politeness manifested by teachers could generally affect the students’ esteem, this study aimed at observing face-threatening and face-saving utterances produced by six lecturers during 6 different lessons in a state university. Combining Brown and Levinson’s theory of politeness and Yule’s concept of face, this study would also contrast the language production by lecturers of different gender and different length of teaching experience to find out if they were correlated. Under the qualitative method, the researcher carried out class observation, recorded the interaction, and transcribed all of the lecturers’ utterances. This study revealed that lecturers generally tend to manage more face-saving acts. However, it showed that most face-threatening utterances were generated by male lecturers. It also indicated that lecturers with longer teaching experience produced more face-threatening utterances, and lecturers with shorter teaching experience produced more face-saving utterances. The fact that female lecturers in this study were dominant in negotiating face-saving acts justified women are more polite than men.

Abstract

It is a fact that language learning strategies can help learners to learn a language successfully. English learners who employ certain language learning strategy are believed to be able to master the language better and faster than those who do not employ any strategies or those who are not aware of their learning strategies. While learning strategies may affect the success of a language learner, a learner’s ‘choice’ of certain strategy can be influenced by one’s study background. Some previous studies have verified it by examining language learning strategies used by students of English Department and students of non-English Department using Oxford’s Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL). Thus, with the same instrument, this research aims to prove the presence of the students’ differences in using the strategies. This research is under a survey research design with students’ responses as the main data and questionnaires as the instrument. The finding indicates that English Department students make use of social strategies the most, while non-English Department students generally use metacognitive strategies. The implication of this research is to give valuable inputs for English lecturers of both settings in subjecting their students according to the findings of each strategy’s use.

Abstract

The challenge faced by teachers today is the lack of skills in developing technology-based media. In facing the demands of an increasingly developing curriculum, teachers need to be given reinforcement in the development of professionalism, including in making digital-based media. Based on the problem, MI Muhammadiyah 2 Kedungbanteng is a school that deserves instructional media training. The obstacles faced include the absence of assistance to develop technology-based media so that the digital literacy of teachers is still low, the absence of school literacy activities through teacher-made media, and the lack of activities that can hone creativity to optimize vocabulary learning. This service wants to make a meaningful contribution to teachers with training activities in developing Canva application-based big book media. The activity is carried out through preparation, implementation, and evaluation stage. In the preparatory stage, the team collected initial information about conditions in school that could support the development of teacher competencies as well as implementation schedules and monitoring and evaluation. Furthermore, at the implementation stage, activities are carried out through material presentation, discussion, and independent assignments. For the monitoring and evaluation stage, the teachers conducted learning using the resulting big book and the community service team observed learning in class. This service was successfully carried out according to plan and made several contributions to strengthening understanding of the material and skills in designing and implementing Canva-based big book. The teachers stated that they were satisfied with this training and hoped to create other media creations in the next training.

Abstract

This scientific article aims to investigate the integration of EdPuzzle media in teaching modules developed by high school English teachers following the Kurikulum Merdeka (KM) framework. Using document analysis, 16 EdPuzzle-integrated teaching module documents were qualitatively examined to understand teachers' preferences in selecting materials, methods, models, and assessments. The findings reveal that teachers successfully developed modules aligned with learning objectives and KM characteristics, incorporating EdPuzzle as both teaching material and assessment method. The study indicates a preference for narrative text topics, blended-learning models, and discussion methods. Writing skills were predominantly assessed using short-answer techniques, with EdPuzzle media mainly utilized for learning material rather than assessment. The implications suggest the need for teachers to diversify learning approaches, explore innovative techniques, and integrate technology effectively for an enhanced English Language Teaching experience. Highlight: The study explores the integration of EdPuzzle media in teaching modules within the context of Kurikulum Merdeka. High school English teachers successfully adapt teaching modules to align with learning objectives and KM characteristics. The majority of teachers utilize EdPuzzle both as learning material and as an assessment method, particularly in the context of narrative text topics.
