Abstract

During the pandemic, everyone is required to do activities at home, including the teaching-learning process, which is done online. Students’ needs should be taken seriously by teachers. High self-efficacy is essential, and teachers must regulate their emotions in teaching students online learning. This research aimed to determine teachers’ self-efficacy in understanding students’ needs and strategies for regulating their emotions during online teaching-learning. During the teaching-learning process, teachers may face various students’ characteristics, and sudden situations that happen during the process may stress the teachers. Therefore, teachers need self-efficacy that will help them regulate themselves to execute their actions and solve problems. This qualitative research employed an open-ended questionnaire distributed to five private senior high school teachers, and an in-depth interview was conducted with three private senior high school teachers. The findings revealed that self-efficacy and emotion-regulation strategies were the main factors for teachers to understand their students’ needs during the teaching-learning process. It is recommended that future researchers interested in expanding this topic do extensive research to check its trustworthiness and provide further information about it.

Abstract

Language learning strategies guide language learners to become active learners that can provide their own needs and choose their preference in learning the language. Therefore, this study was done to study the language learning strategies used by high and low achieving students in learning speaking as well as how they apply their strategies. There were 20 participants taking part in this study. They were classified into high and low achievers based on the students speaking score of their speaking performances. SILL questionnaire proposed by Oxford (1990) was adapted in this study to better fit the purpose of this study. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire was also done to measure what it was intended to measure. Besides questionnaire, a semi-structured interview was also used as the instrument to complement the quantitative data. Based on the data gathered through questionnaire, the study revealed that metacognitive strategy as the most frequently used strategy by high and low achieving students. Additionally, the data gathered through interviews also showed that each group of achievers applied all language learning strategies as proposed by Oxford (1990); memory strategy, cognitive strategy, compensation strategy, metacognitive strategy, affective strategy, and social strategy. However, high achiever learners were reported using a higher number (13 strategies) of language learning strategies than low achiever learners (11 strategies). The study confirms that learners who have a higher level of English competence will almost certainly apply wider strategies in their language learning.

Abstract

This research reports a study on students’ attitudes towards an online learning platform, Quizlet, in English vocabulary learning. Three research questions were raised, namely: 1) How are the students’ attitudes towards Quizlet in English vocabulary learning? 2) What influence do the students’ attitudes have on their English vocabulary learning using Quizlet? 3) How does Quizlet facilitate the students’ English vocabulary learning? This qualitative study used a questionnaire and an interview to investigate students’ attitudes towards Quizlet in their English vocabulary learning. Twenty students were involved in the questionnaire and six students in the interview. Three major findings are concerned with the students’ attitudes toward Quizlet; the influence of the students’ attitudes towards their English vocabulary learning using Quizlet; and how Quizlet facilitates their English vocabulary learning. Findings indicate that 1) students’ attitudes were all positive, deriving from their opinions, thoughts, feelings, and experiences towards Quizlet; 2) the positive attitudes gave encouragement to their English vocabulary learning; and 3) Quizlet facilitated the students’ English vocabulary learning through its features, namely; Card, Study, Game, and Test modes. Based on these findings, some suggestions are offered. First, for the students to pay more attention to the learning platform they use to learn, such as Quizlet. Second, for the teacher, lecturer, and Study Program Department to pay more attention to the students’ positive attitudes towards a particular learning platform and to utilize more Quizlet for learning. Third, future researchers should investigate how far Quizlet facilitates English vocabulary learning via pretest and posttest.

Abstract

In English teaching, there has been a dichotomy between language and literature. Literature is sometimes perceived as isolated from language. Teachers of English are reluctant to teach literature feeling that they do not possess the competence in literature. Teachers of literature feel similar reluctance due to the perception that they do not master grammar adequately. This article tries to find a possible way of teaching English grammatical aspects through literary works by adopting Carlson and Tovatt’s way of reading.
