Abstract

In this 21st century era, young children have become keen users of multimedia technologies, more so than in the past generations when children could access various English cartoons. Due to exposure to English cartoons, preschoolers proficient in English tend to have difficulties acquiring the first language used in the speech community. Therefore, the study investigated the influences of English cartoons on preschoolers’ English language acquisition. It is anchored on Skinner’s Behaviorism, Krashen-Terrell’s Input Hypothesis, Kress and Van Leeuwen’s Multimodal Discourse, and Critical Age Period Theory. It adheres to Yin’s single holistic case study research design, where two (2) preschoolers were selected through a purposive sampling technique. The data were gathered during the four-week series of home observations and semi-structured in-depth interviews within the seven-month study duration. Furthermore, data were analyzed following the thematic analysis method. Results revealed that preschoolers’ English language acquisition is affected by certain factors, i.e., exposure to multimedia technologies, social relationship/linguistic environment, motivation, attitudes, and interests of the child. Regarding phonological influence, preschoolers articulate terms based on the pronunciation heard from cartoon shows. F/P1 acquires a British accent, and both participants can utter all vowel/consonant sounds except ‘r.’ They can use words even without understanding their context. Concerning semantic influence, active exposure to cartoons and engagement in an immediate environment led to meaning-making processes strengthening critical and creative thinking skills. Regarding syntax, participants’ multi-word utterances are drawn from longer potential sentences that express a complete thought. Although the words produced are ungrammatical by adults’ standards, they still adhere to grammatical rules. Keywords: English Language Acquisition; English Cartoons; Preschoolers; Factors; and Influence.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how teachers portray their digital identity towards their professionalism as a teacher which is manifested online. This descriptive case study involved four participants who were in-service English teachers from four schools in Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia. The data were collected by conducting a semi-structured interview, after that, the data were analyzed by using Thematic Analysis (TA) based on Braun and Clarke framework analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, this case study produced three general aspects, namely social media preferences, teachers' participation in professional development, and teachers' unfamiliarity with digital identity. The findings of this study explain how English teachers describe their digital identity towards their current e-professionalism. Therefore, the results of this study provide empirical evidence and become a reference for other English teachers about the benefits of digital identity management that will help them improve their professional reputation in an online setting.Keywords: Digital literacy; digital identity; e-professionalism; online identity; teacher’s e-professionalism.

Abstract

Technological advances affect people’s working lives and contribute to the education system, especially in the learning process for generation 4.0. Generation 4.0 is a generation that is fully exposed to technological developments even from birth, so learning using technology will have a very good effect on them. However, conventional learning in schools is still dominated by conventional learning that uses textbooks as teaching media. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the benefits of implementing interactive learning using the E-Learning Module. The data was collected through a review of international journals starting from 2015 to 2019. The findings show that one of the appropriate media used to teach the current 4.0 generation is interactive learning or known as learning, which uses interactive multimedia with interesting materials to motivate students to learn when and anywhere. This study also found that learning using the interactive learning module has advantages in pedagogical aspects such as collaborative learning, mixed learning, interactive learning, experiential learning, and problem-based learning. Keywords: E-learning; Interactive Learning Module; Multimedia; Motivation; and Generation 4.0.

Abstract

The goal of this study was to identify the English vocabulary requirements for agriculture students. The purpose of this study is to find out what students think about the importance of English vocabulary for agriculture students. The qualitative case study design was used in this investigation. This study was undertaken at a Tasikmalaya vocational school with a horticulture major. The researchers employed an open-ended questionnaire to collect data from twenty-one participants, including one English teacher and twenty agricultural students in the horticulture major. The researcher evaluated and interpreted the results of the open-ended questionnaire. When conducting analysis, the researcher assigns a code to each participant's response, organizes the data, and finally obtains the questionnaire's conclusion. The findings of an open-ended questionnaire based on students’ perceptions revealed that agricultural vocabulary is important for some areas, such as English for agriculturists, animal breeders, and in some fields of agriculture, such as cultivating the plants, care the plants, agricultural equipment, or scientific names of plants because learning English vocabulary can increase students' knowledge, particularly specific vocabulary, as well as learning English vocabulary for ag. Finally, the researchers make recommendations on how to better meet the demands of vocational students, particularly in terms of the English vocabulary required of agriculture students.Keywords: English for Specific Purposes; English Vocabulary; Voicing; Students’ Need; Vocational High School.

Abstract

The past decades have witnessed an increasing focus on teaching vocabulary. Such interest includes all the aspects that are vital to enrich this important language element. The present research aims at highlighting the importance of incorporating effective vocabulary teaching strategies to enhance EFL learners’ reading abilities by investigating the significant effect of vocabulary on improving reading abilities. It attempts to analyze the qualitative and quantitative data obtained from participants. Guided by the assumption that poor vocabulary creates problems for L2 learners and the claim of Macaro (2003) who believed that most second language teachers tend to neglect the significance of vocabulary teaching. This study adopted mixed-methods research to confirm our assumptions. The research instruments are a questionnaire submitted to one hundred and twenty first-year EFL learners in three Algerian universities, and a semi-structured interview with eight university teachers. The study used SPSS to analyse the data obtained from participants. The findings of this research reveal that teachers find obstacles when introducing new vocabulary to learners; however, they also reveal that are many strategies that can be followed to enlarge the lexis of L2. The study provides theoretical guidelines to enhance reading abilities since the latter is considered the main source of new vocabulary. Keywords: Vocabulary; Reading comprehension; Vocabulary teaching strategies.

Abstract

This is a case study involving twenty-six (26) freshman Bachelor of Science in Social Work students of Leyte Normal University who are taking Purposive Communication in Semester 2, SY 2019-2020 as its subject. Based on the teacher-researchers observation and result of informal interviews with the students, they were generally quiet and seldom or never asked critical questions during class discussions because they were shy and did not know what questions to ask.  It explored the effectiveness of Verderber, et.al.’s critical evaluation and questioning techniques in enhancing critical evaluation and questioning behaviour or performance of the students, as well as its other positive impacts on them as students. The researcher has not encountered any studies that specifically utilized the said techniques. The intervention had positive results.  Based on the students’ responses, their critical questioning behaviour or performance was improved in the sense that they learned to ask questions for clarification, to express contradiction or opposition, and to test the credibility of information and validity of the speaker’s contention.  It also helped them transform into active learners, confident speakers, and critical thinkers.  Hence, teaching students’ critical evaluation and questioning techniques can enhance their critical thinking skills and increase their engagement as well.Keywords: Critical thinking; Critical evaluation; Questioning techniques.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced all sectors to stop their activities. As a result of this, learning activities were suddenly changed to online methods. Seeing the phenomena that occur around researchers, the decreasing of students' motivation during online English learning can be a serious matter. If the demotivating factor cannot be known, it will be difficult for the teacher to overcome it. To fill this gap, the researcher intends to look for the factors that cause demotivation in students during online English learning. An exploratory case study was employed as the research design and semi-structured interviews were selected as the data collection technique. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis based on demotivating factors (learning contents and materials, teachers’ competence and teaching styles, inadequate school facilities, and lack of intrinsic motivation). Research reveals that there are two major factors of demotivation experienced by students: (1) internal factors; (2) external factors. Internal factors consist of lack of interest; undirected study goals; negative habits, and external factors consisting of surrounding elements; teaching style; teaching materials and teaching content; learning facilities; sudden transition. In conclusion, the teaching and learning practices should encourage students to have positive experiences and not demotivate them in learning English such as using interesting online tasks.

Abstract

Scholars and practitioners should be aware that writing a good and eye-catching abstract is significant but tough work. Scholars and researchers are challenged to produce an informative and persuasive abstract to be accepted then published in either national or international publication and they should know the current characteristics of abstracts written by the students or apprentice writers. The study aims at examining the comparison of discourse structure and linguistic features between English abstracts of research articles by Indonesian researchers and English abstracts of the thesis by Indonesian scholars. The corpus data were taken from 10 research articles abstracts of Indonesian researchers concerning English education published in ERIC and 10 thesis abstracts of the graduate program of English Education in UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Thus, a genre-based analysis proposed by Bhatia’s move structure and Swales’ and Feak’s move structure will be used to investigate the discourse structure and Paltridge starfields will be used to investigate linguistic features. The results indicated that 60% of abstracts published in the international journal were organized well while 40% of thesis abstracts were not organized well. Furthermore, past tenses were frequently used in both article abstracts and thesis abstracts in terms of aim, method, and result move. While present tense was still used in aim and result move in article abstracts. In conclusion, most abstracts published in international publications used well organizational move. While most abstracts published in local ones are not used well organizational move.Keywords: Discourse structure; linguistic features; research article abstracts; rhetorical move; thesis abstracts.
