Sun, 17 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The direct method is a way of presenting Arabic learning material, where the teacher makes the language as the language of instruction without using the mother tongue. If there are words that are difficult for students to understand, teachers can interpret by using props, demonstrating, and describing. This method is based on student understanding, teaching foreign languages is not the same as teaching exact sciences or natural sciences. The purpose of applying this method is oral mastery of the target language so that students are able to communicate using the target language. With this method, the teaching process avoids the translation system which is considered to have confusion in achieving language learning objectives. The application of this method is considered to be able to support language improvement in Arabic language teaching in educational institutions, one of which is at the Darussalam Rajapolah Tasikmalaya Islamic Boarding School. This research was carried out on the assumption that learning a foreign language is the same as the process of learning a foreign language itself, in other words this method can be more effective in learning Arabic.

Teacher Expectation Effects On Need-Supportive Teaching and Student Motivation

Arfita Wahyuni Hrp Harahap, Sholihatul Hamidah Daulay — Sun, 17 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Prior studies have demonstrated that teachers modify their conduct in accordance with their expectations of pupils. Self-determination theory (SDT) elucidates the connection between teacher conduct and students' motivation and engagement, namely through the provision of instruction that supports their needs. Its purpose is to gather information on the impacts of teacher expectations on the provision of supportive teaching and student motivation. The study conducted here employs a descriptive design with the aim of elucidating various elements, facts, or phenomena of a specific scenario. In this study, we integrated two research traditions and investigated the connections between teacher expectations, need-supportive teaching, and students' motivation and engagement. The findings demonstrated a moderate yet positive correlation between teacher expectations and students' intrinsic motivation and engagement, while showing a negative correlation with amotivation. The associations were completely mediated, but with minimal effect sizes, by need-supportive instruction. These findings emphasise the need of integrating studies on teacher expectations and SDT to enhance our comprehension of how teacher expectations might lead to differential provision of need assistance to students, thereby impacting their motivation and engagement.

There were 316 linguistic schoolscapes collected from the school that were categorized thematically based on 1) the physical, 2) political, and 3) experiential dimension. Three teachers and three students were also interviewed. The findings showed that the percentage of English used in monolingual is 21.3 %, bilingual is 67.5 %, and multilingual is 86.4%. Politically, English was the second language to be used frequently at the linguistic schoolcapes after Indonesian because English is one of language program in this boarding. However, in practice, boarding school teachers continue to instruct using the modules they have and they hardly ever use LS in the boarding school environment as a teaching tool. Meanwhile, LS serves as a learning tool to help students expand their vocabulary. These findings suggest the need for teacher professional development that focuses on the integration of LS in Indonesian ELT classroom and the need to have more LS in English as it provides exposure to English language use for students. Further pedagogical and theoretical implication will also be discussed.

Muamar Chadafi — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0700

English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) plays a significant role in various educational settings, including Islamic boarding schools like Mambaus Sholihin in Indonesia. This research investigates the dynamics of ELF practices, challenges faced, and teaching methodologies within this unique context. The study employed a case study design, gathering data through descriptive qualitative methods. The population included all students and educators at Mambaus Sholihin Islamic Boarding School, with a sample size of 200 students and 10 teachers. Instruments used were semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and participatory observation. Results indicate stringent language usage policies, including punitive measures for non-obedience. Challenges include the dominance of languages other than English, limited motivation among students, and traditional teaching methods such as drills. Moreover, the quality of English teaching materials and supervision during designated English usage times play the part of additional obstacles. The findings underscore the need for fitted approaches in teaching ELF, addressing motivational factors, enriching resource availability, and revising monitoring strategies. This research fills a critical gap in understanding language dynamics within Islamic boarding schools and offers actionable insights for educators and policymakers in language education.

Ettyani Ettyani — Sat, 30 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0700

To differentiate the learning processes, this study examines how students' speaking abilities grow utilizing the Immersion Teaching Tehnic (ITT). It seeks to determine whether ITT intervention in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) environment will affect the students' motivation and speech development. It also seeks to determine whether ITT intervention is feasible as a teaching strategy. A Senior high school's tenth-grade class served as the subject of action research implemented. The research findings revealed enhancement of the speaking skills for the students that have at least an initial level of language speaking competence, but no difference was detected for the students of no speaking competence, pointing to the demand for further differentiation. The ITT intervention, however, has been demonstrated to be both extremely effective in boosting student motivation and practicable for application in EFL classrooms. The implications of the current research for the EFL context have demonstrated that the ITT is adaptable enough to meet various educational needs and, when used properly, can enhance meaningful speech output.

Fitriani Fitriani — Sat, 30 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to describe the perceptions of EFL students regarding the effectiveness of AI as a technological tool for enhancing English language learning. The method used in this study was qualitative research. Data collection was questionnaires and interviews with 189 students from the English Language Education program online. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out using quantitative descriptive techniques with percentage calculations and thematic analysis. The findings reveal that EFL students respond positively to using AI platforms in the learning process. Two types of skill enhancements were noted: for productive skills (writing and speaking), the platforms used are Grammarly (64.12%) and Duolingo (39.12%); for receptive skills (listening and reading), the platforms are Voice Dream Reader (40.12%) and Google Text-to-Speech (70.60%). Then, the students’ challenges using IA were limited access to devices, unreliable internet connections, insufficient digital skills, difficulties in navigation, weakening of critical thinking abilities, decrease in problem-solving capabilities, and others. A limitation of this study is its methodological scope. Future researchers should utilize quantitative methods, such as experiments, to achieve more comprehensive results.
