Abstract

Innovation related to Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL) provide opportunities for learners to gain experience using English contextually. This is the implication of the new paradigm of English as an International Language (EIL) in which learning English is no longer aimed at forming learners to speak as the native speakers. Therefore, innovations in TEYL is needed to answer the challenges of changing the status of English in Primary Schools (SD) from subject to extra-curricular. Referring to lesson plans developed by pre-service EYL teachers (PSTs), observation and interviews, the innovations in thematic lessons for TEYL were investigated. The findings showed that all lesson plans have been integrating innovations, including character building in accordance with the 2013 curriculum and intercultural competency that are important for language learning. To interact in the classroom, first language (L1) was used with colloquial variation, code-mixing and code-switching as well as translation. In conclusion, the innovative lessons for TEYL has been practiced by prospective primary school English teachers for preparing themselves to teach at the real school setting after their graduation. It is suggested that further research will be carried out at primary schools participated by in-service teachers and focused on each innovation in order to find TEYL innovative models. HIGHLIGHTS: English for Young Learners (EYL) requires the teachers’ creativity in teaching it. Innovative EYL classes could be characterized by the selection of intelligent themes or topics, ways for delivering new knowledge while giving young learners with context-based English experience, and less demanding evaluation.

Abstract

The transition from face-to-face to digital learning during the pandemic has had a profound impact on students, teachers, parents and policy makers. In practice, the challenges are numerous. Fundamentally, it requires the idea of best practices in the implementation of ELT. The best formulation can be made only when the challenges are comprehensively identified. During 2017-2021, there are several studies examining the challenges of ELT from pre-pandemic to post-pandemic, but only focusing on particular contexts. Thus, this research aims to address those challenges and mentality of e-learning in post-pandemic to develop ELT performance. Whereas the method used in this study is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) that examines journal articles and proceedings in the 2017-2021 publications according to the topic. The results of this study are a systematic classification of mentality of online learning, ELT challenges, strategy proposed from pre-pandemic to post-pandemic especially in Indonesian context and presented into several subsections; (a) technical challenges, (b) pedagogical challenges, (c) socio-economic challenges, (d) institutional and governmental policies challenges. It is fundamental to identify these challenges in order to come up with the best formula of ELT strategies, such as reconstructing the mentality of learning and integrating roles of various parties. The results of this study provide a comprehensive picture regarding with the reality of ELT during pre-to-post pandemic and as the literature for EFL teachers to develop their professionalism as well as become the considerations for education stakeholders. Highlights: The challenges of teaching English in Indonesia existed prior to the pandemic and worsened during the pandemic despite the fact that there are numerous constructive studies that offer solutions. Many studies have revealed the frequency of challenges in teaching English in Indonesia, including (a) technical challenges, (b) pedagogical challenges, (c) socioeconomic challenges, and (d) institutional and government policy challenges. Several of the identified challenges are fundamentally integrative, which means that one aspect influences the others. As a result, in order to improve the quality of teaching and learning English as a foreign language in Indonesia, all involved parties, including teachers, parents, students, and policymakers, must work together.

Abstract

This research reports on the results of an interview study of nine English teachers at vocational schools (VS) in Indonesia. The study aimed to explore English teachers’ voices of the revitalization program at VS’s in Indonesia. The study shed the light on two major issues of English teaching and learning at VS’s concerning revitalization program implementation. The two main themes were the use of specific technology in the language classroom and video mediated language learning in vocational English classroom.The results indicated that most of teachers more preferably used social media for teaching than utilizing a learning management system (LMS). Teachers have used video mediated teaching method for their English classes either self-production videos or a ready-made video from the internet. English for business was also introduced to students to equip them with basic knowledge for a job selection The results have implications for the implementation of revitalization programs in particular the revitalization of vocational English teaching and learning at SMK. Highlights : Most of teachers more preferably used social media for teaching than utilizing a learning management system (LMS) this is because social media is more practical, handy to use, and equipped with sufficient features, such as voice note, video recording, and device mirroring, which enable teachers to build learning engagement with students. Video mediated EFL teaching is an innovative teaching strategy developed by EFL teachers amidst the crisis of Covid 19. The videos are self-made by teachers and ready to use resources from the internet. The integration of technology into EFL classroom at vocational schools is one of the ultimate goals of the revitalization program at vocational schools across Indonesia.

Abstract

This research is focused on promoting students’ critical thinking skills through project-based learning. Thus, this study aims at (1) examining the idea of critical thinking, (2) discussing ways of improving critical thinking learners and (3) measuring learners' capacity of critical thinking using project-based learning approaches. This method of study is non-empirical by taking a qualitative approach to students' analytical thought and project-based learning perspectives. By incorporating this project-based learning, students can improve innovation and exercise criticism. By doing this study, we encourage other scholars to carry out research by means of project-based methods of learning. Highlights:• Suspension of judgment is a situation when someone is rationally able to suspend their judgment in taking a conclusion about something. The suspension of judgments on subjects, objects, ideas, or whatever you wish to study is one of the most critical tasks.• Open-mindedness is a virtue of intellectual nature with characteristic goals, including increasing or improving the cognitive interaction with reality. It involves specialized cognitive skills, including those involved in making information comprehensible to themselves and auxiliary habits, thus cognitive skills are truly engaged if necessary.• Critical thinkers will motivate themselves to make solving the problem simpler for themselves.

Abstract

The emergence of coworking spaces have disrupted conventional working lifestyle and built a new trend: shared office space which highlights community-based services. Our paper looks at how this new business promotes their service through advertising language in online media. Advertising language in previous studies have mainly focused on slogans found in printed advertisements (Pratiwi et al., 2019; Dubovičienė & Skorupa, 2014; Niken et al., 2013; Suryasa, 2016), but we focus on headlines in internet advertisements, particularly websites. The headlines were analyzed using linguistic feature theories in four levels: phonological, lexical, syntactic, and semantic levels. The analysis discusses the linguistic features used in the coworking spaces’ home page, the use of the linguistic features in the content, and the effectiveness in attracting readers. Data collected for the study include 59 websites from a coworking space reservation platform, Coworker, and interviews with people involved in the industry. Results of the study show that headlines in coworking space websites prominently use alliteration, noun phrases, and hyperbole. Unlike headlines of printed media, digital media has to comply with search engine optimization (SEO) guidelines so that search engines will index the website properly. HIGHLIGHTS: Linguistic features used in website headlines have several elements in common with headlines in different ad channels, like TVs and printed ads. The main difference between headlines in a digital and printed advertisement is the use of search engine optimization (SEO) strategies in online channels. People’s educational and professional backgrounds can influence how they interpret headlines on websites.

Abstract

The present study aimed to scrutinize how employing photovoice in writing class helped uncover novice writers’ emotions of learning to write. Eight secondary school students voluntarily participated in the two-session writing class. Accompanying the photovoice, the participants were also asked to write a reflective journal for additional data collection. Results indicate that these novice writers, though experienced confusion and encountered various problems, persisted in completing the writing assignment due to their intrinsic motivation. This suggests that teachers should incorporate in their teachings explanation of the importance of enhancing one’s writing competence to grow students’ motivation and interests in writing. Highlights The participants of the present study found it challenging to generate ideas and revise their writing composition. Despite the struggle, secondary school students developed positive attitudes toward writing class. A good understanding of the importance of writing skill affected students’ determination to finish the writing tasks.

Abstract

Politeness involves evaluations and attitudes which are closely connected to the assessment of actions. Politeness investigations in presidential debates enables voters to assess the candidates’ behavior to make well-informed decision during the election. The present study investigated politeness strategies in two different presidential debates within the United States electoral context: the Democratic party and the final presidential debates. Data were analyzed by adopting the coding scheme in Brown and Levinson’s frameworks. The overall result indicated that both the presidential debates used more positive politeness strategies than the negative politeness. PPS-10 (offer and promise), PPS-12 (include speaker and hearer in the activity) and NPS-2 (hedge) were more frequently used in both types of debates. PPS-3 (intensify interest to hearer) was frequent in the democratic debate alone. Meanwhile, PPS-15 (give gits to hearer) was frequent in the final presidential debate alone. The findings imply that the use of the politeness strategies can shape the candidates’ positive political images in the presidential debates. HIGHLIGHTS: Findings show that the selected politeness strategies are to shape candidates’ positive political images in the presidential debates. Having positive images such as not harsh, having good behavior are considered to be critical importance in determining the winning of the election. Negative politeness is less preferably used and has been less taken into account as proper rhetorical skills in the debates.

Abstract

Speaking has an essential role in students’ performance in the English language subject. This study aims to investigate 30 English language students who are given video in the experimental class. The results show that there is an improvement of participants’ English-speaking performance which is indicated by the increase of scores between pre-test and post-test through four speaking components, such as fluency, precision, lexical, and syntactical. The most significant increase is found in the precision aspect with a pre-test value of 1.00 and a post-test value of 3.07. The results also reveal that both written and verbal communication can be improved by using the method of video integrated with Bloom’s taxonomy. However, the limited participants of the study and the length of drilling speaking are confirmed as the limitation of the study. Besides, it implies video integrated taxonomy Bloom for reducing anxiety in learning speaking and classroom activities research (CAR) investigation are recommendations for future study. HIGHLIGHTS: Video integrated with Bloom’s taxonomy implies the development of linguistics and intercultural communication competence simultaneously. Video facilitates learners to improve meaning and lexical complexity The more learners practice speaking with video integrated with Bloom’s Taxonomy, the better their critical thinking.

Abstract

A considerable number of studies have shed light on the benefits of ER to English language learning in L2 context. However, there has been no study examining the natural process of how pleasure reading naturally builds up language proficiency. Therefore, this study is intended to divulge the obscure process of how ones unconsciously build up English proficiency by doing pleasure reading. The participants in this study are two non-English learners who have done pleasure reading for, at least, 7 years with no purpose of learning English. Nested in a narrative inquiry methodology, this study examined the participants’ personal stories on the problems they tackle in doing pleasure reading, the gradual process they have been through, their motivation which makes them eager to read, and their unintentionally built up English proficiency. The data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, observation and personal communication. The evidence showed that both participants underwent the language acquisition process in which they were not clued up about the subconscious awareness of language system obtained when reading. They got delectation of reading and achieved language proficiency simultaneously. Conclusively, extensive reading works on improving language proficiency of not only language learners who intentionally read for learning but also those who read only for pleasure. HIGHLIGHTS: The participants underwent the language acquisition process in which they were notclued up about the subconscious awareness of language system obtained when reading. The participants got delectation of reading and simultaneously achieved proficiency invocabulary, reading and listening skills, and grammar.
