Abstract

Research in L2 reading, especially the incorporation of insights from reading processing into reading instruction, has gained a standing attention in ELT and recent second language acquisition research has highlighted a complex and dynamic trajectory of reading efficacy development. English L2 Reading: Getting to the Bottom, now in its fourth edition, has timely responded to the psycholinguistic turn in reading studies over decades. With purposefully modified and updated sections on metalinguistic awareness in terms of pedagogical value, the latest edition provides a focused overview of central issues in understanding L2 English reading processors with practical considerations on their direct relevance to pedagogical interventions. This book review will firstly present a brief account of each chapter's underlying concerns and then offer critical comments on the latest version's theoretical implications in relation to current trends in L2 instruction research.

Abstract

Many researchers have examined the implementation of the promotion method toward the agency principle of multicultural theory. However, little has examined the corrective feedback in promoting the tenet. Given the corrective feedback, the learner will be less used of their reflective thinking to promote themselves as an agent. Therefore, this study aimed to promote learners' agency by eliminating the corrective feedback in writing class and encouraging learners' reflective thinking. Three non-formal intermediate learners writing ability is analyzed in this study. The material given was following the syllabus of the course which is expressing of obligation and prohibition. There were three tasks given in this class. The first task is an individual project, the second is a group project, and the third is an individual project. After the learner finished the task the researcher analyzed the learner's writing improvement by analyzing the frequency and the variation of the lexical used and the grammar detail. Using Primary Trait Scoring, the findings pointed out that the writing ability of the learners improved both lexically and grammatically. Besides, the findings also supported that language produced by the learners is complex, dynamics, and more individual. It is expected that this research could be a consideration for educational stakeholders to select the appropriate method for the learners

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the most frequently used keywords in pet’s café and regular cafe to identify the linguistics discrepancies between the reviews in the two cafes. A self- created corpora of pet’s café and regular café’s reviews were collected from TripAdvisor and google map and used as the main data to compare the linguistic features in each corpus. The analysis was conducted by using AntConc 3.5.9 for Windows (64-bit) to compare the keywords and concordance lines of notable keywords. A comparison of the keyword analysis indicates that the big discrepancies between the two corpora is the use of second- and third-persons pronouns  in pet café review and the use of the first-person pronouns in regular café review. This pronouns choice suggests that in pet café, the writers adopt customers and product- based review, whereas in regular café, the writer tend to focus their reviews on author-based review. Another notable finding is the absence of Wi-fi in pet café review and the absence of adverb and preposition in regular café. Despite the difference, the reviews in both cafés are heavily dominated by the use of verbs, nouns, and only small number of adjectives found in each corpus.

Abstract

Extensive listening has gained popularity in the past few years due to its benefits for foreign/second language learning. It improves language learners’ listening skills in a less stressful way because they can choose topics based on their interest or do the activity simply for enjoyment. Also, in the implementation, students may choose any multimedia resources in extensive listening activities. In this descriptive study, students’ preferences of multimedia resources used in extensive listening activities were explored. In addition, aspects of the resources they found easy and challenging and why they choose them were also investigated. Research data were collected from 109 learners’ extensive listening journals over a semester. Results of the data analysis indicated that there are 17 types of multimedia resources used by the students. Most of them selected the listening materials based on their interests and curiosity. Moreover, the speakers’ accent and speech rate, and limited vocabulary are aspects some students found challenging. Further studies may want to compare types of resources used and reasons for choosing them by high and low proficient listeners. How learners used the resources may also be of interest to future researchers.

Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition is one of the important elements that can support the students’ language proficiency. It helps students to follow and enjoy the teaching content delivered by their teachers. The educator of the EFL context, particularly at lower secondary school, attempts to design the teaching material which is oriented to enrich the students’ vocabulary acquisition. The research discovers that various ways can be used to build students’ vocabulary. One of them is literature. Therefore, this research aims to investigate can English literary works be integrated with the teaching strategies to develop the EFL students’ vocabulary. To observe it, the researchers use library research to find and analyze some sources (e.g. articles, proceedings, books) as the collected data, which discuss enriching English vocabulary through literature. The result shows that two things must be considered if teachers would like to incorporate literary works in their content. 1) Types of literary works used by teachers to enhance their learners’ vocabulary, 2) Teacher’s teaching strategy to make the EFL learners memorize the unrecognize words.

Abstract

Often perceived as a challenging subject among many tertiary EFL students, grammar may present more difficulties to the learners when delivered online, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Within such a situation, autonomous learning, which earlier literature has suggested to be crucial in helping students with grammar learning, would be even more imperative for their success. Hence, this study attempts to investigate whether EFL tertiary students in Indonesia practice autonomous learning and how they perceive learning autonomy for their online grammar class. As many as 82 Indonesian students who had taken an online intermediate grammar course in a respected private university were involved in this study. A questionnaire with close and open-ended questions was used for the data collection. The findings indicate that although students mostly had positive views towards autonomy in online grammar learning and claimed to practice it, the autonomy level tended to be low. Factors such as fatigue from online learning, distractions, overwhelming assignments, and lack of study skills, seemed to have contributed to the difficulties in practicing learner autonomy.

Abstract

Undoubtedly, to promote more holistic, pleasurable, and meaningful second language learning enterprises for learners, EFL teachers are advocated to sustainably hone their professional development concerning their knowledge and pedagogical competencies. This present qualitative study was conducted in the light of the critical incident technique to discover particular unforgettable teaching-learning events enabling teachers to promote significant changes in their vocation. Further, 10 self-reflective inquiries were also addressed to 2 invited senior EFL teachers working in Frater Don Bosco Senior High School Lewoleba, Nusa Tenggara Timur Province. Two major findings were revealed from these self-reflective inquiries namely EFL teacher’s sound desire to continue upgrading professional development through professional learning and EFL teacher’s strong intentions to improve learners’ target language competencies through the exhibition of professional development. Although the two invited EFL teachers had significantly fostered their professional development through profound caring, attentiveness, and understanding of learners’ distinctive learning backgrounds, it is indispensably required for Indonesian educational institutions to provide a considerable number of professional development training appropriate with varied teaching-learning contexts undergone by our teachers to ensure that a higher degree of professionalism resided within their careers and learners’ learning rides.
