Abstract

Communication problems may occur in EIL contexts when English language users from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds conveying their messages. Being intelligible should not be seen as simple as pronunciation problems but it has other essential issues beyond it. To overcome such problem, there is a need for the English language learners to be aware of the intelligibility issues. This paper discusses the importance of introducing the intelligibility issues in EIL contexts for English language learners at secondary education in order to prepare them to communicate effectively with the diverse English language users around the world. The analytical scheme developed by Hu and McKay (2014) which defines the dimension of integrating multilingual and multicultural practices is adopted to select the YouTube video clips for the teaching materials. This practical guidance for introducing the intelligibility issues to the secondary school students could be employed by the English teachers to raise their students’ awareness toward the construct of intelligibility in EIL contexts.

Therefore, the study was conducted to see how the correlation between the teachers’ competence, students' attitude, and the rural environment in affecting the use of technology in the English teaching and learning process during and post-pandemic. In this study, interview and observation were conducted to collect the data. The result of the study showed that there were some correlations between the rural environment, students’ attitudes, and teachers’ competence in facing the technology challenges in learning the English process during and post the pandemic. Teachers and students were difficult to adjust with the use of technology due to limited facilities in a rural area, lack of skill in using the technology, and negative attitudes that decrease students' motivation in learning English during the pandemic. However, improvement was also found in the post-pandemic, where the students and teachers could improve their competence in using technology media in learning English. The result showed that the students showed high motivation when the teacher delivered material and gave assignments using technology. Furthermore, teachers are also able to improve their teaching competence in creating teaching media based on technology use in the post-pandemic.

Abstract

To have insight of the students learning style is vital since it can facilitate teacher to teach and decide what methods as well as activities are appropriate for the students, for instance,  in learning English. For the students in the future, it is hoped that they can recognize their own learning style preferences in order to be able to learn successfuly, because the students themselves may have no ideas of learning styles they prefer. They just imitate what their friends do, and the teacher does not understand what the students are like and what they prefer in learning. As the consequence, it will not result in any good effect for the improvement for their successful teaching and learning. Hence, both teacher and students, particularly the teachers need to know the students’ characteristics and their learning style preferances. This study adapted the Style Analysis Survey (SAS) model proposed by Oxford (1995) concerning the the student learning style preferences. The samples of this quantitative study involved 60 students who consisted of 30 of non-English and 30 English students at UNPAM. The data taken from quetionnaire were analyzed by using SPSS into descriptive statistic. It was found that the student learning style preferences of both non-English and English students mostly fell on the Social and affective. Meanwhile, for the individual learning style preferences of each group of students are  Physiological and Cognitive executive (II) in which non-English students will remember things better if they discuss them, and English students prefer realism instead of new, unstested ideas.

Abstract

This study discussed internal conflicts experienced by Okonkwo, the main character, in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. The novel tells about Okonkwo’s life in Umuofia. He struggled to make a prosperous and dignified life, unlike his disgraceful late father, Unoka, and valued the Umuofia tradition and culture very highly. He grew up to be a strong man in his neighbourhood.  However, despite his strength and bravery, the biggest fear in his life was to fall and become weak resembling his father. Based on the main character’s experiences and environments, a psychological analysis was used to find out how someone’s experiences had shaped his way of thinking even his actions to make a decision. Therefore, this study focused on internal conflicts as a part of the psychological approach. The conflicts that examined were approach-avoidance and avoidance-avoidance conflicts where the decisions taken by Okonkwo could have both risks and opportunities (approach-avoidance) or only risks (avoidance-avoidance). To solve his internal conflicts, the main character should choose which decision that would give more opportunities or fewer risks.
