Abstract

Simply defined, metonymy is a phenomenon in which two things are associated, so that one thing stands for the other, i.e. the source stands for the target. (Evans and Green, 2006, p. 314; Barcelona, 2003) The example from Evans and Green (2006, p. 312) is “England beat Australia in the 2003 rugby World Cup ?nal.” In that example, England and Australia stand for their own national football teams. The example is whole-for-part metonymy. Generally classified, the types of metonymy are whole for part and part for whole. (Barcelona, 2003, p. 239) What it means by “whole for part” is a general thing represents a specific thing. It goes the other way around for “part for whole”. As everyone uses metonymy very often, it is everyone’s awareness towards metonymy that should be increased. Metonymy is a powerful tool (Guan, 2009, p. 179). It is a “cognitive tool for people’s conceptualization of the world” (Guan, 2009, p. 179) and particularly “for guiding inferencing in the interpretation of spoken discourse” (Kriskovic & Tominac, 2009, p. 50).

Abstract

Collaborative learning is a method where students learn by working together to achieve a task or goal. The implementation of this method can be maximized by using games. This study aims to find out how collaborative learning with games influenced English speaking skills of the tenth-grader students, and what challenges were faced in doing collaborative learning games. The study was completed using a qualitative descriptive design and was conducted with 20 tenth-grade students at a private senior high school in Salatiga, Indonesia. To explore the students’ views on the use of the collaborative learning with games, all 20 students were asked to fill in a questionnaire and four selected students then completed a semi-structured interview. The data were then analyzed by thematic analysis. The findings revealed a positive result from the students on the use of collaborative learning activities. The study also provides some pedagogical implications and suggestions for further investigations

Abstract

A number of studies show that students' approaches to learning are important elements to achieve success. Learning approache provides perspectives on the characterisics of good learners. Using R-SPQ-2F (Biggs, Kember, & Leung, 2001), a revised version of Biggs' (1987) Study Process Questionnaire (SPQ), this study attempted to explore the learning approaches of first year students of 2013 academic year at an English Education Program at a private university in Central Java. The purpose of the study was to find out if there was a correlation between the students' approaches to learning and their achievement in an Integrated Course (IC), and describe the profile of their approaches to learning English in the first semester. From 151 respondents participated in this study, it was found that, although weak, there was a positive correlation between students’ achievement scores and their Deep Approach to learning, and a negative correlation between their IC scores and their Surface Approach to learning. This study also found that Deep Motive was associated with the students' achievement. However, the students' profile based on SPQ indicated that the study could not predict the students at risk. Other factors could have affected the students' achievement in their learning.

Abstract

A weblog (also called a blog) has been pervasively used as an alternative language learning technology in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) settings. However, there are still limited attempts to shed more lights on the (a) integration of various applications in the blog and (b) how they can be maximized for teaching and learning purposes in the context of Indonesian higher education. Therefore, this study aims to explore issues concerning the use of a tutor blog run in an English Education Study Program of a private university. The exploration focuses on the potentials of the tutor blog and their relevance to current blogging activities as well as draws on related literature and reflective experiences in utilizing the blog in EFL classrooms. This study seems to confirm the potentials of the tutor blog, as asserted by Campbell (2003). The analysis also reveals some possibilities of integrating the blog into other technological applications, which should be beneficial for pre-service and in-service EFL teachers who wish to utilize blogs to support their pedagogical agendas. The study concludes with directions for further studies.

Abstract

Numerous studies have been conducted in investigating the role of foreign language speaking anxiety on students’ performance; facilitating (positive) or debilitating (negative) effects. Unfortunately, previous studies on this issue show that language anxiety negatively affected students’ performance in most cases. This study aimed to find out the correlation between speaking anxiety and speaking performance in EFL context and investigating the major stressors of English speaking anxiety perceived by the students involved in this study. Mixed method was applied in this study. Then, three instruments were used to collect the data; a questionnaire named FLCAS (Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale), an interview, and a speaking test. The finding showed that there was no significant relationship between speaking anxiety and speaking performance. Furthermore, based on the finding from FLCAS and interview, the major stressors of speaking anxiety perceived by the participants were resulting from comparing one’s speaking skill to others, getting a spontaneous question, being concerned if they were grammatically incorrect and used wrong pronunciation, not understanding what the teacher said, and being unable to convey something in the target language. These major stressors were basically stemmed from fear of negative evaluation and communication apprehension.
