Abstract

Rapid penetration of smartphone in students’ life currently leads to the extreme influence and addiction of smartphone use in their daily activities (Alexander, 2011; Hough, 2011). Later on, it raises concern about the negative impact of smartphone use towards students’ learning performance and achievement (Kibona Mgaya, 2015). On the other hand, several studies found that smartphone is a possible learning tool that can be utilized by students to learn on their own, or autonomously (Kim Kwon, 2012; White Mills, 2014; Woodcock, Middleton, Nortcliffe, 2012). Hence, the purpose of this research was to investigate whether or not the smartphone use can influence students’ autonomous learning strategies. Both smartphone and autonomous learning share similar principle of independence based on their traits, such as taking control in learning and individuality. The students of Islamic Economy Department that currently enrolled in English class were chosen as the sample of this research. Correlational study was applied with further regression analysis conducted on the collected data. The instruments used in this research were questionnaires and interview. The findings revealed that the use of smartphone influence students’ learning strategies. Furthermore, cognitive and social/affective strategies are the strategies that were influenced the most and metacognitive strategies were influenced the least by the use of smartphone in learning English.Keywords: autonomous learning, learning strategies, smartphone use

Abstract

This experimental study was set ought to explore the efficacy of symmetrical and asymmetrical scaffolding in boosting speaking complexity, accuracy, and fluency among 38 upper-intermediate EFL learners. To this end, the participants were assigned into random, homogeneous, and heterogeneous groups. The control group participated in normal speaking classroom, while the experimental groups shared their ideas and collaboratively complete tasks related to 7 lessons of New Interchange 2 during 15 sessions. Two different versions of IELTS speaking test were used as pre/post-test. The data were audio recorded and transcribed for statistical analysis.

Briefly, the results lead support to the Vegotsky’s (1978) socio-cultural theory. The findings and pedagogical implications were discussed in details at the end of the study.Keywords: accuracy, asymmetrical scaffolding, complexity, fluency, symmetrical scaffolding

Abstract

Learner-centered teaching is a teaching approach that is increasingly being encouraged in education. In Indonesia, learner-centered teaching has been an obligation for teachers to be implemented since the government decided to try out the new designed curriculum, the 2013 curriculum. However, it is not always effective since teachers are lack of creativity, lack of responsibility and knowledge. Therefore, this study was sought to find out teacher’s efforts and their roles in implementing learner-centered teaching effectively. The study involving two English teachers revealed that several efforts done by teachers in learner-centered teaching are; 1) let the students do the hard messy work of learning because they are not passive recipients of knowledge, 2) give autonomy and responsibility to students for material they learn and their own learning in general, 3) use highly engaging core content that meets the needs of the students, 4) give feedback to help students to improve, and 4) utilize multiple teaching techniques appropriate for student learning goals. Several roles of teachers in learner-centered teaching are as guides, facilitator and coaches. Teachers also play important roles in creating an environment that fosters students’ learning, accommodates different learning styles, and motivates students to accept responsibility for learning.Keywords: Learner-centered teaching, teaching approach, teachers’ efforts roles
