Abstract

The importance of English has demanded the introduction of English language teaching (ELT) educational reforms (ERs) in the Vietnamese context. However, the results of these reforms did not satisfy Vietnamese educators; as a result, many studies have explored the related issues, but almost none of them emphasized English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ perceptions of the necessities of the reforms. Accordingly, this current study was conducted to fill in the aforementioned gap. Driven by that emphasis, this qualitative study used semi-structured interviews as a data-collecting instrument. Regarding the studied sampling, six EFL high school teachers from Southwest Vietnam were recruited as the interviewees. According to the findings of the present study, teachers in Vietnam strongly perceived the need for ELT ERs. Besides, the reforms were fundamental to help catch up with the era of globalization. At the conclusion of the paper, some discussions focusing primarily on teacher training issues and educational implications, as well as suggestions for future research, were presented.

Abstract

Ujian Tulis Berbasis Komputer (UTBK) is a high-stakes test for students. They strive to pass the test and be accepted in their targeted institution. As one of the subjects involved in UTBK, the English test surely has influenced English teaching & learning in 12th-grade classrooms. This impact is known as the washback effect. While most studies investigate the washback effect on a test as a whole subject, little is known about the effect on the particular part of the test. Thus, this case study explores the washback effect of the English reading test in UTBK on the students’ perceptions, learning motivation, learning strategies, and learning content. The data were collected through online questionnaires distributed to six participants from different senior high schools. The deductive analysis found that the test has positive and negative effects seen from the students’ insights. UTBK can avoid cheating and integrate students’ English competence, but they are uncertain that it can improve their communicative competence. This study might enrich educational studies in English language teaching in general and language assessment in particular.

Abstract

Translation is considered an essential element in the process of English learning. This descriptive qualitative study explores the translation ability and its influential factors performed by nine English club students of SMK Negeri 2 Surakarta in their debate class. Data were obtained by conducting a translation test. The students answered a questionnaire tested by the KR-20 formula to acknowledge the factors deeply. The results reveal that their ability to translate texts was good and excellent. Also, by using Microsoft Excel and interpreting using various theories in ELT, it was found that their ability was influenced by not only the external, internal, and individual factors but also their general learning strategies, way of learning vocabulary, teachers’ strategies in teaching grammar, and online tools as the part of learning media utilized by them. As translation becomes an inevitable process in ELT, these findings provide theoretical evidence that conducting TEFL by being attentive to the potential factors above and emphasizing the instructional designs is crucial. In addition, they directly influence the EFL learners’ translation ability, reflecting their English mastery and determining their success in the language learning process. Further, EFL teachers should pay more attention to their teaching strategy, consider allowing students access to online tools and motivate them to have a proper learning environment and reach optimal learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study sought to investigate students’ perceptions of classroom activities and their motivation levels in learning an English subject. The study also examined the affiliation between classroom activities and student motivation. The survey questionnaires were employed to collect the data from 120 upper secondary graders studying at a public secondary school in Cambodia. Social Science Version 16.0 (SPSS 16.0) was utilized to analyze. Descriptive statistics and Pear Product Moment Correlation were performed. The results revealed that EFL teachers frequently employed ‘Mechanics’ and ‘Exclusive Use of Language’ in their teaching. The results apropos of student motivation indicated that students had a higher level of motivation in ‘Confidence’, and ‘Motivation about Language’ and the lowest level in ‘Motivation about Class’. The result also revealed that ‘Fun’ positively correlates with ‘Confidence’ and ‘Motivation about Class’. Conversely, ‘Mechanics’ is negatively correlated with ‘Motivation about Class’. Therefore, the study argued that the teachers less frequently employed ‘Fun’ activities that could boost student motivation. In contrast, ‘The teachers commonly practiced mechanics’ activities that could decrease student motivation. In this sense, the study suggested that teachers maximize ‘Fun’ activities and minimize ‘Mechanics’ activities. However, because of the weak and moderate correlation between classroom activities and students’ motivation, the level of student motivation was not mostly determined by classroom activities. Thus, scrutiny of other factors enhancing the level of student motivation could be a topic for future study.

Abstract

Da’wah Faculty students who become the focus of this study are students majoring in Da’wah Management (DM) who, in the future, will become preachers. It makes them sometimes overlook the benefits of learning English. Learning English will be very important for those who will become important actors in spreading Islamic religion to local and international communities. This research aims to explore contextual and fun English learning for students at Da’wah Faculty at an Islamic University in Indonesia. It explores relevant previous studies and important theories and compares them with this study’s findings. This study employed a descriptive-qualitative approach. The results indicated that DM students studied English according to the context of their knowledge as DM students; and that they studied English in fun ways which could encourage them to be more active in joining the class. These findings help English lecturers to create better learning activities to teach DM students. Meanwhile, further researchers can elaborate more toward the research subjects, so the results will be more varied.
