Abstract

This study aims to improve the English speaking skills of eighth-grade students of MTs Al Falaah Pandak using short videos to aid the learning process in which English is taught as a foreign language. The research was classroom action research with the subjects consisting of 30 eighth graders of MTs Al Falaah Pandak. This research utilized both the qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The qualitative approach to collecting the data was done through observations and interviews with the observation checklist and interview guidelines carefully designed as the instruments. The quantitative approach was done through a survey with questionnaires, field notes and tests as the instruments. The results indicated that using short videos as input in the teaching and learning of speaking can improve the students’ speaking skills, as shown by the students’ test results that improved gradually from cycle 1 to cycle 2. In cycle 1, the average score of the students’ speaking test was 65.8. This noticeably improved in cycle 2, where the average score was 75, showing an improvement by 9.2 points. Further implications and potential implementation of using short videos as input in the teaching and learning of speaking in EFL classes are discussed.

Abstract

Corpus linguistics allows researchers to discover the nature of language use through lexical bundles throughout genres, registers, and language varieties. With the fast-changing development of the internet, the language of websites has become one fascinating variety to investigate. In the contexts of German language studies, Goethe-Institut is a worldwide German cultural institution dedicated to teaching German and propagating German culture, with its website becoming a well-known source for German-related studies. Under these considerations, this research is interested in analyzing the German language patterns in Goethe-Institut website by examining their frequency and structure of lexical bundles. Using a mixed-method approach, the corpus was found to be dominated by lexical bundles within the ranges of three- and four-bundles, with the least quantity of lexical bundles in the range of five. The majority of the four-word lexical bundles on this site fell into the categories of noun, preposition, or verb groups. Meanwhile, the adverb, conjunction, and adjective groups were the fewest to appear in the four-word lexical bundles. The language in the Goethe-Institut was shown to contain semi-formal expressions according to the frequency of use of the prepositions, nouns, verbs, and the active sentence expressions. The utilization of standardized German language and basic vocabulary indicates that this website is designed to be accessible for everyone, including German language learners. The language usage also demonstrates that the Goethe-Institut is especially a user-oriented website with expressions that evoke a ‘sense of belonging’.

Abstract

Given the complexity and difficulty of mastering English competencies and skills required in an English subject, a lack of interest and motivation to learn is a common issue that affects learning activities and learning outcomes of the students. By using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR), this study reviews the impact of gamification on students’ motivation (engagement) in the teaching and learning process of English as a foreign language. The study collected 30 journal articles as the data corresponding to three quality assessments: published in the last 5 years or between 2018-2022, explains the influence of gamification on students' motivation or students’ engagement, and discusses research on gamification in the setting of Indonesian school/college students. These articles also need to answer the research questions on the improvement of gamification score on students' motivation/engagement and the influence of gamification on students' motivation/engagement during the class. The systematic review demonstrates that the application of gamification in learning has a favorable effect on the improvement of motivation scores and their engagement during the teaching and learning process. Gamification in education is especially promising due to its ability to influence students’ behavior in a favorable manner.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bentuk-bentuk divergensi modalitas dari Charles J. Fillmore dan maknanya dalam novel terjemahan “Sayap-Sayap Patah” karya Kahlil Gibran agar terhindar dari kesalahpahaman dalam memaknai bahasanya. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif deskriptif. Sumber data primernya adalah terjemahan novel “Sayap-Sayap Patah”, sedangkan sumber data sekundernya adalah referensi yang mendukung sumber data primer, yaitu buku-buku semantik khususnya tentang teori tata bahasa kasus Charles J. Fillmore. Dalam pengumpulan data, peneliti menggunakan teknik baca-catat. Dari penelitian ini dapat diketahui bahwasanya dalam terjemah novel tersebut terdapat empat bentuk modalitas yaitu (1) intensional, yang memiliki makna keinginan, harapan, ajakan, pembiaran, dan permintaan; (2) epistemik, yang terdiri dari makna kemungkinan, keteramalan, keharusan dan kepastian; (3) deontik, yang bermakna perintah; dan (4) dinamik, yang bermakna kemampuan. Berdasarkan hasil terebut dapat diketahui bahwa novel terjemah “Sayap-Sayap Patah” menggunakan modalitas yang kompleks, akan tetapi lebih banyak menggunakan modalitas intensional. Tokoh yang tercermin dalam karya sastra ini cenderung tidak memiliki sifat otoriter, melainkan demokratis.This study analyses Fillmore's modality variances and their meaning in the Indonesian translation of the novel “Broken Wings” by Kahlil Gibran. This is a descriptive qualitative research. The translated novel, “Sayap-Sayap Patah” is the primary data while the secondary data are taken from the literature on the semantic theory of Charles J. Fillmore. The researchers used the close reading technique to collect the data. From this research, it can be inferred that in the Indonesian translation of the novel, there are four forms of modalities namely (1) intentional modality, which conveys desire, hope, invitation, neglect, and request; (2) epistemic modality, which deals with the ideas of possibility, practicality, necessity, and certainty; (3) deontic modality, meaning commands; and (4) dynamic modality, which concerns the idea of abilities. These results indicate that the Indonesian translation of the novel “Broken Wings” uses complex modalities with the majority being intentional modalities. The main character reflected in this novel tends not to have an authoritarian nature but a democratic one.

Abstract

This study focused on teachers’ materials adaptation as a part of teaching strategies to ensure learning success. Given that such activity is not something light to engage in and requires expertise, the researchers looked at how the process of materials adaptation was carried out. These included what was added, removed, and modified as well as the challenges confronted during the adaptation process and classroom implementation. This study sought perspective from a qualitative case study approach. Documents, classroom observations, and interview were employed to gather data from one senior high school teacher in Aceh, Indonesia. The results were analyzed based on frameworks of language teaching materials analysis, principles of teaching materials, and materials adaptation. Research findings suggested that materials adaptations mostly concentrated on adding and modifying, with less emphasis on eliminating, simplifying, and rearranging. Furthermore, the altered materials aided language learning in various ways. Nevertheless, several modifications made raised issues, such as the lack of a feeling-sharing session with the materials and an inappropriate difficulty level. Inaccessible sources of materials, fear of producing irrelevant information, time constraints, a lack of professional training and school assistance, learners’ uncooperative behavior and low competences were also identified as problems in materials adaption.

Abstract

The annulment of English subject at the elementary and tertiary levels harms the absorption of graduates. This decision needs to be reviewed whether it follows current conditions where graduates are required to be able to compete globally. Competition becomes increasingly problematic because students lack continuous English learning. This study aims to reveal the perspectives of non-EFL students on learning English in their faculties and how the association between English learning achievement scores and their perspectives on the language they are learning is related. It involved 45 students from two non-English faculties who studied English only as a general course. Our statistical calculations using correlation analysis found that most non-EFL students had an optimistic viewpoint on English and hoped to be provided with it continuously. In addition, the analysis also found that the achievement scores in English lessons had a significant positive correlation with their perspectives.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to review the trends and key conclusions of research on Extramural English activities in English language teaching (ELT) approaches. Several databases, including Scopus, Taylor Francis, and Google Scholar, were examined and 8 articles in all were examined for this purpose. The research methodology employed was a PRISMA systematic review. A content analysis technique was used to assess the articles. The study's findings showed that extramural English in ELT became more popular among researchers in Sweden after 2012. This research sought to look at the trends and conclusions made by the publications. Secondary school students served as the primary participants in the articles that were chosen. It suggests that more research on additional potential participants from different levels is necessary. This study recommends using a qualitative research design in future studies to learn more about students' extramural English activities, which may shed new light due to a different methodological approach. It was discovered that there aren't many studies that focus on the new reality of digital Extramural English practice. Because there is still much room for research in this area, future researchers are encouraged to talk more about Extramural English in relation to technology.

Abstract

Taking the principles of critical discourse analysis favoring issues on unequal power relations, this discourse study attempts to disclose the manifestation of privilege in government regulations. To do so, it combines the principles of Systemic Functional Grammar and CDA by explicating the results of transitivity analysis on the legal text within relevant socio-political context. The data were the clauses in Circular Letter No. 26/2021 enacted by the Indonesian government on Health Protocols for International Travel during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The results show that, in terms of transitivity, the circular letter includes material, relational, verbal, and mental process, which serve to show the details on health protocols to be adhered by travelers, to describe the criteria of travelers who are given special provisions and of the countries being temporarily banned from entering Indonesia, to report the health condition of travelers, and to show the need of medical assistance. The material and relational processes demonstrate the form of privileges, namely dispensation from quarantine implementation and the exemption from Indonesia travel restriction. The relational process shows the particular privileged groups, including the state officials, delegates of economic cooperation, and well-known figures. It is embedded in the circular letter that what are deemed beneficial for the political elites and the country’s economic are somehow not in line with the public interest.

Abstract

Previous studies related to learner autonomy have been conducted, yet those studies seem to focus on formative assessment as a guarantee for the development of learner autonomy. This study is projected to assess the undergraduate students’ level of independent learning since learner autonomy tends to manifest itself in various degree of independence. A questionnaire related to independent learner was adopted as the main instrument. The data were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The quantitative data were obtained to assess the students’ level of independent learning while the qualitative data were gained to reveal the students’ perceptions and thoughts about independent learning. The results show that most of the students have moderate independence. Moreover, most of the students are considered able to relate the concept of independent learning with various degrees of independence that are included in the notion of learner autonomy. Nevertheless, the findings also show that some students tend to have low interest in their studies, low expectation about what they want to learn, and low possibility in questioning what they are told. It is important for the teachers to enhance the students’ moderate independence into high independence by providing the access to a number of learning opportunities. Thus, the students are able to critically reflect on their own learning and effectively develop awareness to help them learn constructively.

Abstract

The online social network facilitates excessive opportunities for intercultural communication in the online multicultural community. Occasionally, intercultural communication possibly results in misunderstanding, confusion, or stereotypes. Intercultural sensitivity, therefore, is necessary to respond to probable issues in online intercultural communication based on Indonesian students’ experiences. This narrative study portrayed the development of intercultural sensitivity in the online multicultural setting. The data were compiled from narrative reports and recordings and then analyzed based on Hunter’s analysis of the narrative. It reveals the development of intercultural sensitivity in the themes of 1) embracing a phonemic variation of English, 2) developing mutual strategies to understand the language, 3) celebrating small similarities, and 4) self-control to listen respectfully. The findings are primarily meant for intercultural education. The study also suggests the use of an authentic intercultural setting for English language learners to develop their intercultural sensitivity and bring the discussions after practice in the classroom.
