<![CDATA[Incorporating technology seems to have positive effects on improving students’ motivation on EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learning. One of strategies that can be used to improve students’ motivation in EFL classrooms is incorporating digital storytelling or an amalgamation of audio, text, animation and voice. Therefore, the present study aims to analyse the effects of digital storytelling to motivation of a group of Indonesian EFL learners. The present study applied a quasi-experiment design. The participants of present study are 19 college students whom are divided into experimental and control classes. In order to obtain the results, a set of questionnaires adapted from Deci & Ryan’ Self Determination Theory (2002) and Yoon’s (2013) toward digital storytelling motivation are distributed to the participants. Besides that, semi-structured interviews were conducted to two students to provide deeper insights toward the effects of digital storytelling on students’ motivation. In addition, English tests were given before and after the treatment. The results show that the experimental class shows slightly higher level of motivation than the control class. In addition, the respondents considered digital storytelling as beneficial for improving their English skills and creativity. Besides that, students in experimental class performed better in English test than ones in control class after treatment.

The teachers did not fulfill all components of strategies in explaining the materials in asynchronous mode. The challenges coped by the teachers were not merely due to online classroom; nevertheless, the teachers initiated the solutions. There were four interrelated factors influencing the use of communication strategies. The strategies employed in both synchronous and asynchronous modes were generally to facilitates students in online context.

<![CDATA[Writing, a skill that involved multiple facets of a language, is commonly considered to be the hardest skill to master. Using appropriate instructional media in teaching writing may make an enormous contribution to the achievement of students. This study explored the impact of cinquain poems as an instructional media on the ability of students to compose paragraphs by implementing a quasi-experimental research method. Sixty first semester students from English Education Study Program, Bengkulu University, chosen using total population sampling, were evenly divided into experimental and control groups. To assess their writing skills, the students were given a writing test as pre-test at the first meeting and a post-test at the sixteenth meeting. Inter-raters were used to eliminate bias in rating the work of students. The results of the paired sample t-test showed that implementing cinquain poems significantly improves the ability of students to compose paragraphs. In addition, independent sample t-test analysis also showed that the abilities of the students in paragraph writing were significantly higher than those who were not taught using cinquain poems. These findings indicate that it is beneficial to teach writing through cinquain poems to help students develop and organize their ideas, improve their vocabulary, and build an engaging learning atmosphere.]]>
