Abstract

Generally, teaching writing is not an easy thing. This is because writing is more complex than other skills in English. This research aimed to find out the Indonesian English teachers’ problems and the strategies used in teaching and learning writing skills in the classroom. This research was conducted in MTs Al-Hidayah. The researchers occupied descriptive qualitative research as the research design. The data were collected by interviewing an English teacher and some students in the seventh grade, and by observing their classroom during teaching and learning writing skill activities. Besides, the researchers collected some documentation and video recordings to support the data and additional information. There were several results that the researchers found while conducting the research. The first result is about the problem faced by the English teacher which is related to the students’ ability. It consisted of the students' lack of vocabulary mastery, grammatical rules, low motivation, and lack of teachers’ class management. Then, the teaching strategy used by the teacher was the Grammatical Translation Method (GTM). Shortly, the problems faced by English teachers in teaching writing are mostly because of students’ lack of vocabulary and understanding of grammatical rules. To overcome those problems, the teacher applied the GTM. The function of this research is to give additional information to the teachers and readers about teachers’ problems and strategies of teaching writing.

Abstract

Internet and technology innovation has traditionally been employed in education as a learning and teaching tool. Research and publications also have been examined and found to be associated with significant outcomes. In today’s age, technology and the internet have its own place in education, forcing students to employ 21st-century technology skills. Meanwhile, the other research reports that project-based learning (PjBL) is open-ended, allowing students to incorporate even more technology. This narrative inquiry research reports the stories based on the teacher’s experience in integrating technology and the internet in PjBL. The stories were collected through written (i.e., narrative frame) and oral narratives (i.e., face-to-face semi-structured interviews) and conducted using Bahasa Indonesia to explore the stories in detail. The open-ended questions adequately facilitated our exploration of the teacher’s stories. We found that learning activities in “Local Wisdom” PjBL incorporate technology and the internet under two themes: technology and the internet are used to access knowledge and information and to create media products. The stories told could remind teachers that the use of technology and the internet in PjBL is not only limited to a mediator for delivering the material; this could galvanize the teachers into involving students to be more active in using technology and the internet.

Abstract

  This study discussed an EFL student's preferences in using seating arrangements in advanced speaking classes. The lecturers implemented seating arrangements to motivate students and encourage participation. The researcher collected the data through a closed-ended and open-ended questionnaire consisting of two types of classes: basic and advanced speaking classes. This qualitative research used a case study (Heigham & Croker, 2009) as the research design. Data were analyzed using Kember's, theory of motivation and thematic analysis. Then, the data was processed and interpreted qualitatively through the following stages: data transcript, categorizing the codes, analyzing the data, and producing the reports. The findings of this study revealed that from the six types of seating arrangements, the students prefer group pod seating as the type of seating that can build their motivation and active participation in speaking class. Lecturers always use group pod-style seating arrangements in speaking classes. Group pods encourage students to study in class and allow them to collaborate and discuss the topic provided by the lecturer. The seating arrangements make students appear more active when looking in groups. Using this seating type, the students demonstrate their enthusiasm, interact with their classmates by being active participants, pay attention to the lecturer, and understand the lecture's material. This study highlights the necessity for lecturers, higher education institutions, and students to consider various strategies during the learning process.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the implementation and reflection of a genre-based writing approach in synchronous online learning to enhance the writing achievement of EFL students. It involved the lecturer and students in the third semester of the three-year diploma in English, which employed a mixed-method research design. The inter-rater evaluation was used in scoring the students’ pre-test and post-test. All the paired t-test results revealed a significant difference in writing achievement before and after the intervention, with the average mean value of the pre-test (M= 70.5) and post-test (79.75). On the other hand, the qualitative data analysis from the students’ diaries and reflective journals revealed that connection-related issues were the major hindrance to having GBW in an online environment. However, the students claimed that online learning offered flexibility, which did not decrease the effectiveness and essence of the lesson itself. In the reflection, the lecturer justified the flexibility of online learning, yet he tended to choose the offline mode for teaching writing in consideration of academic integrity. In summary, implementing genre-based writing in synchronous online learning for university students showed much potential for enhancing students’ writing achievement. Through the benefits of remote learning, the adaptation to the unique needs of learners, and the integrity of academics, teachers and educators can effectively conduct educational or academic activities. The implications of this study go beyond the boundaries. It influences the current discourse about the role of technology in education and its future.
