Abstract

Teachers' language assessment literacy (LAL) is critical to the success of education, the quality of students' learning, and students' willingness to study. Yet, studies on teachers' LAL preparation to face the Merdeka Belajar (Freedom of Learning) curriculum are still scarce. Most LAL studies used questionnaires to assess teachers' knowledge. In contrast to that, this study utilized teachers’ LAL knowledge test adapted from Al-bahlani (2019). This study investigates teachers' self-perceived LAL consisting of competence, frequency of practice, and assessment knowledge in The Association of English Teachers Banyumas district region (MGMP) with a total of 77 participants involved by investigating teachers' self-perceived LAL consisting of competence, frequency of practice, and assessment knowledge. The current study utilized two data sources, including a questionnaire and a language assessment knowledge test to employ a quantitative methodology using MANOVA and Pearson’s product-moment correlation. The results showed both strengths and weaknesses in the teachers’ LAL, as well as matches and mismatches between teachers' self-perceived and shown assessment knowledge. Overall, EFL teachers in Banyumas regency are at a fair level of LAL and pre-service training in assessment was the variable with the greatest impact on teachers' LAL. Future research may also require investigating the objectives, actions, and outcomes of assessment training provided by teachers’ training institutes and professional development programs.  Keywords: LAL, Language assessment, Language Assessment Literacy, Merdeka Belajar curriculum, Freedom of Learning Curriculum.

Abstract

This is an educational Research and Development (R and D) aimed at developing Islamic-based reading instructional materials for students of Islamic Education Department. The phases of the research were simplified into three phases: the exploration phase, the model development phase, and the model testing phase. In the exploration phase, an evaluation was conducted to describe the existence and quality of the present reading materials. During the model development phase, a draft of Islamic-based reading instructional materials was designed and revised based on the inputs from FGD and expert evaluators. Try out of the draft model was also conducted in this phase. In the model testing phase, the draft was experimentally tested to see the effectiveness of the product in developing the students’ reading comprehension. This research revealed that the present reading materials did not accommodate the learners needs to learn English using Islamic materials. Therefore, the new reading materials in the forms of Islamic-based reading instructional materials need to be developed. The experimental research proved that the students taught using the designed Islamic-based reading instructional materials performed better in reading comprehension test compared to the students who were taught using the materials taken from the present reading materials. The results of the test indicated that the mean scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group. This difference was analyzed statistically using t-test to interpret the difference.  The analysis revealed that the Sig. (2-tailed) was .021 which was smaller than the level of significance scores .05 (.012 .05). This statistically indicated that the different mean scores between the experimental and the control groups were the result of the different treatment given to the two groups. Thus, the use of Islamic-based reading materials influenced the   reading comprehension achievement of the students.

Abstract

The perceptions of Indonesian EFL students on classroom-based assessment practices during the COVID-19 outbreak and the challenges they faced have received little attention. This phenomenon is the basis for why this research was conducted. To collect the data, questionnaires and interviews were applied to 20 senior high school students from grades eleventh and twelfth in Indonesia. Using a mixed-method design, this study declared that most students preferred classroom-based assessment during the COVID-19 outbreak, which was conducted online rather than traditional assessment before the outbreak. Classroom-based assessment practices during COVID-19 are considered more convenient and flexible, feel relaxed and less anxious, and improve their self-regulated learning. Moreover, Indonesian EFL students also revealed the challenges they faced in completing the assessment, such as internet network problems when the weather was terrible, the data package they used during the learning and assessment process being extravagant, and the lack of physical interaction with teachers and classmates. Further discussion about classroom-based assessment practices during the COVID-19 outbreak is necessary for more effective implementation and to positively affect EFL students and teachers.

Abstract

This article aims to identify the level of leadership of language teachers in developing students' learning progress based on conceptual and didactic qualities. This goal is achieved by answering the following questions: 1) the level of quality of concepts related to the progress of student learning; and 2) administrative components and educational processes. Question (1) was introduced with data from code A and question (2) was introduced with data from codes B and C. Data was collected through a survey of educational agendas using concept quality, management, and multi rate indicators. Analyzes were performed by describing regression data. The results of this study indicate that respondents have a good idea of their students' learning progress. A conceptual understanding of learning progression is inversely related to quality of learning and instructional management. Respondents continue to predominate as a motivator to achieve their learning goals through encouragement and guidance. On the other hand, they are still weak as moderators, designers, and initiators of learning objectives. A paradigm shift is needed in the teacher-student relationship.

Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions and practices of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers, exploring their impact on communication skills and subject comprehension. The research focuses on eight key factors within NLP: flexibility, anchoring, elicitation, modeling, individual differences, leadership, building a relationship, and emotional and cognitive boosters. A sample of 20 EFL teachers in Medan, Indonesia, participated in this descriptive qualitative study, responding to a survey questionnaire adapted from previous research. The findings highlight a consensus among educators, showcasing their recognition of NLP's applicability and effectiveness across these factors. Teachers exhibit a strong commitment to student-centered pedagogy, emphasizing personalized interaction and visual learning experiences through board-based teaching methods. While the study acknowledges certain limitations, such as a small sample size and reliance on self-reported perceptions, it provides valuable insights for further research. Future studies can expand on these findings to explore NLP's influence on student outcomes and address potential implementation challenges.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is crucial for effective language acquisition, enabling learners to comprehend spoken and written words and articulate their thoughts. The PowToon application, with its engaging animated videos, offers an immersive and clear learning experience. This is particularly beneficial for English learners, where proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing is vital. This study investigates the impact of the PowToon application on enhancing students' vocabulary. Utilizing a quantitative approach with a Quasi-Experimental Design, data were gathered through observations and tests. The analysis was based on descriptive statistics. The sample comprised 52 tenth-grade students at Tunas Pelita High School. The experimental group, which used PowToon, had a pretest average of 36.19 compared to the control group's 38.40. However, post-tests revealed a score of 82.31 for the experimental group and 71.70 for the control group, indicating a more significant vocabulary improvement in the PowToon cohort. The findings confirm that the PowToon application positively affects vocabulary acquisition. The research underscores PowToon’s potential to enhance students' comprehension, spelling, and pronunciation of English vocabulary, ultimately bolstering their overall learning outcomes.

Abstract

This research delves into the utilization of information and communication technology (UICT) by non-certified English teachers within the context of teaching, employing the technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) framework. The primary objective is to elucidate the intricate interplay among the various components of TPACK and their predictive roles in the application of UICT, as perceived by non-certified English teachers during their teaching endeavors. To comprehensively address these dynamics, a survey approach was adopted, enlisting the participation of 20 educators. By employing both questionnaires, the study navigated the landscape of non-certified English teachers' beliefs and practices. Through the lens of statistical tools, the data was meticulously analyzed, revealing the depth of these educators' knowledge within the diverse TPACK domains. Notably, the outcomes of the TPACK survey underscore the efficacy of their applied knowledge. The teachers showcased an adept command across all TPACK domains, positioning them as experts in their pedagogical craft. Specifically, the mean scores highlight their highest proficiency in technological knowledge (TK) with a score of 4.28, closely followed by content knowledge (CK) at 4.26. While all facets of TPACK exhibit commendable scores at 4.10, it is noteworthy that pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK) display a relatively lower mean score of 4.11. These findings collectively shed light on the nuanced relationships within the TPACK framework and their implications for effective UICT integration within the teaching practices of non-certified English educators.

Abstract

This research investigates the writing habits of students in higher education, employing a case study approach to attain a comprehensive understanding of these practices. The case study methodology is utilized to delve deeply into the intricate writing behaviors, motivations, and challenges faced by individual college students. Through a sample of 232 students from diverse faculties, insights are gathered via a meticulously designed survey that covers aspects such as writing frequency, time allocation, methodologies employed, and encountered difficulties. The findings underscore that, despite the diversity of academic disciplines, expected trends in writing habits emerge among students. While the initiation of writing may seem straightforward, challenges arise during the process, often leading to task-driven completion rather than the cultivation of consistent writing habits. The findings highlight the value of personalized interventions that identify the unique obstacles and motivations inherent in each field, allowing educators to fine-tune writing support programs. This research contributes to a nuanced understanding of writing practices in higher education, shedding light on students' attitudes toward writing. By acknowledging the diverse motivations and challenges faced, educators can strategically enhance writing support initiatives, fostering an environment where effective writing habits can flourish. The insights gleaned from this study not only inform academic discourse but also offer practical implications for educators seeking to empower students on their writing journey

Abstract

The burgeoning advancement in artificial intelligence, particularly ChatGPT, has increasingly drawn attention among specialists and practitioners. This study investigates the perceptions of language teachers in Indonesia regarding ChatGPT's potential as a language learning tool and the concerns associated with its deployment. A quantitative approach was adopted, utilizing an online questionnaire comprised of 18 items rated on a four-point Likert scale and three open-ended queries. The sample included 100 educators, spanning English, Indonesian, and Mandarin language teachers and lecturers. Findings indicate that a significant proportion of respondents are familiar with internet-based artificial intelligence and recognize the applicability of ChatGPT in pedagogical contexts. Notably, 87% of language educators endorse initiatives to enhance understanding and integration of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIEd) to bolster instructional efficiency and efficacy. Consequently, a majority concur that ChatGPT can aid language learners in honing vocabulary, grammar, oral and written competencies. Based on these insights, it is imperative for educational stakeholders to strike a judicious equilibrium between the deployment of AI tools and a pedagogical paradigm that emphasizes student engagement and critical cognitive development.
