Abstract

During the teaching and learning process in writing context, EFL learners have their own intrinsic problems. They tend to experience some psychological tensions such as writing anxiety, writing attitude and language awareness. In line, some academical issues they need to handle in writing context are text organization, grammar, spelling, punctuation and ideas development. The aim was to find out the direct and indirect contribution among the variables. Thus, writing anxiety and writing attitude were the exogenous variable, then language awareness as mediated variable, while the writing achievement as the endogenous variable. This study applied the combination of multiple regression and mediated model as a part of Path Analysis. There were four instruments used, namely SLWAI, ATWQ, LALQ, and TOEFL Independent Writing Test. These instruments were fulfilled by 100 participants of fourth semester English Department students. The data was collected online through Google Form, Google Meet and personal chat on WhatsApp. The result shows that there was low significant direct contribution of writing anxiety toward writing achievement. Meanwhile, there was no significant direct contribution of writing attitude toward writing achievement. In addition, there was a significant direct contribution of language awareness toward writing achievement. Besides, the result of indirect contribution revealed, there was no indirect contribution of writing anxiety through writing attitude toward writing achievement. Then, the indirect contribution of writing attitude through language awareness toward writing achievement was found out significant. Lastly, it was revealed that there was no indirect contribution of writing anxiety through language awareness toward writing achievement.

Abstract

English-medium instruction (EMI) has become popular and developed as a growing global phenomenon nowadays in International secondary education in Indonesia. By comparison to this phenomenon's rapid growth, the EMI has not indicated immediate effectiveness in its application, in particular. The purpose of this research was to investigate the perspectives of students and teachers of the implementation of EMI at an Indonesian International school called Thursina IIBS Malang and to suggest ways to maximize the advantages of the policy while decreasing its disadvantages. To examine in-depth views and experience of the policy, structured interviews were conducted with 8th graders and academic teachers who were chosen purposively. Focus group discussion (FGD) was then employed to triangulate the data. The interview and FGD results showed that both students and teachers demonstrated strong acceptance of the policy because EMI could facilitate the teaching and learning process better and improve their English skills. However, in the EFL context, it was inevitably difficult to use English fully in the classroom where EMI naturally should be implemented fully in no other languages than English. Therefore, this study is expected to provide suggestions from the perspectives of EFL practitioners to maximize the benefit of the EMI policy in an EFL context.

Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to identify the typical moves, steps, and common expressions in hotels’ responses to negative reviews (RNRs) posted on TripAdvisor. A specialized corpus comprising authentic 29 responses, written by top seven 4- and 5-star hotels in Malang was explored by following Swales’ notion of move analysis. Corpus-assisted analysis was also applied to identify some frequent expressions typical to major moves. The findings revealed that the generic structure of RNRs written by top hotels in Malang contain six moves and 23 steps. Unique to this finding are four additional steps that were distinct from previous studies, but appeared in the corpus: appreciating the stay, promoting hotel’s facility, clarifying misunderstanding, and making amends. ‘Thank you for’ (appearing 30 times in 22 responses) were among the most frequent expressions in major moves such as appreciating the stay and expressing gratitude. Other common expressions were also identified from the corpus and used as the basis of proposing a brief guideline for composing RNRs, which can be useful for teaching business English, or English for Specific Purposes. Overall, these findings outline a generic pattern through which representatives of top hotels in Malang manage customers’ dissatisfactions and complaints. Since these findings were derived from natural-occurring data, they can also be useful to classroom instructions, especially in providing authentic materials.

Abstract

This study investigates the compounding process in COVID-19 neologisms. It focuses on words that coexist with words synonymous with the COVID-19 pandemic and the level of public understanding of neologisms that will enter general acceptance through standard English dictionaries. This research is qualitative research. The data comes from Urban Dictionary as a non-standard dictionary involving the community as neologism makers. Data was collected from the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in China on December 8, 2019 to January 31, 2022. Each neologism that resulted from the compounding process with two constituent words was collected to get the most widely used identical word, then compounding by including these words would be analysed to know the results and also the score. We have been found that the lower the score obtained by neologisms with match results, the greater the expectation that neologisms can be accepted by the general public as a global language through standard English dictionaries. Vice versa, the higher the score obtained by neologisms, the smaller the expectations of neologisms can be accepted. However, neologisms with mismatch results are difficult to accept, and even the resulting scores cannot predict anything. Another fact that was found was the error result as a result of the absence of the definition referred to in the standard dictionary. From the overall analysis, nouns are the most used word class.

Abstract

In writing a research paper, the writers will, of course, include a concise report or the so[1]called abstract to pass on information to the readers concerning their studies. The problems not only arise in presenting an idea in reporting the study but also have trouble using grammatical structures and patterns established in the abstract they write. To this effect, this study was conducted to investigate elements used in the abstracts of ELT Journal. The aim of this study was to provide the researchers with the proper guideline in writing abstracts appropriately. The twelve journals ranging from 2015 to 2018 publications were selected to analyze with respect to tenses, voices, and move structures employed in the abstracts. Swales & Feak’s (2004) move structures were adopted in this study so as to analyze the moves in the abstracts. The findings of the study show variations with regard to tenses, moves, and voices used in the abstracts. In tenses, introduction and results of the study employed present tense, whereas past tense was frequently used in aims, methods, and results. In the meantime, in terms of voice, four moves showed active voices in the abstracts including Move 1, Move 2, Move 4, and Move 5 in spite of the fact that Move 3 used passive voice. Furthermore, the rhetorical move following Swales & Feak’s (2004) only certifies 8.3 %. In other words, only 1 article abstract followed it, whereas others demonstrated variation in moves. This finding makes a substantial contribution to the writers, especially for the novice writers in an ELT research context.

Abstract

The teaching profession is complex and multifaceted. Beyond simply educating, teachers have many critical roles in the classroom. Recent research on teachers' roles has revealed crucial roles that differ by educational level. However, little is known about EFL students' perceptions of the functions of English language teachers, particularly at primary and secondary education levels. To fill the gap, this descriptive qualitative research reflects on EFL students' perception of English teachers' role in the classroom. The questionnaire, followed by a semi-structured interview to examine the data in more detail, was given to the first-grade junior high school students. After analyzing the data by using mixed-method, it was determined that students viewed the teachers' position as the resource to be the most important and the teachers' role as the organizer to be the least important. This result means that in most classroom activities, the students still depend on their teacher and see the teacher as the center of the class. This research can serve as a reflection for teachers to switch roles as organizers rather than be the students' sources. Hence the students can independently be responsible for their learning with teachers' support. Further research is recommended to investigate the teachers' role from students' and teachers' perspectives.
