Abstract

Technological developments in the 21st-century impacted teaching and learning English. one of the impacts of this technological development is reading activities and competencies, reading experienced a phase of change from printed text to digital text. The change from Printed text to digital text requires new literacies, such as locating information and synthesizing online information. This study aims to investigate teachers' perceptions of reading digital texts in ELT. About twenty-three ELT teachers, both in junior and senior high schools around East Java, were involved in this study. An online open questionnaire was distributed to portray ELT teachers' attitudes, knowledge, and practices in reading digital text. The study reveals that all teachers have a positive attitude toward the practice of reading digital text. However, most teachers have misconceptions about knowledge and practice in implementing reading digital text activities.  Surprisingly, all teachers in this study claimed that they never received a particular workshop to read digital text activities for English class.  Hopefully, this study's result could contribute to the ELT curriculum in responding to the need to facilitate the new literacy in (online) reading and teacher professional development to develop teachers' reading digital text competencies. However, teachers as facilitators in classroom learning activities must recognize new literacy in online reading (especially reading digital text) to help students achieve reading competence in today's digital-based information era.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the digital literacy of senior high school students in an Islamic boarding school in East Java, Indonesia. Four questions guided the inquiry in this study: 1) to what extent is the students’ digital literacy? 2) how is the students’ view toward the use of digital technology in learning?;3) what factors affect the use of digital technology by the students?; and 4) from what sources do the students learn digital technology? This study used a quantitative method which involved eighty-one students in senior high school, East Java. The data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire. Further, the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics aided with SPSS. This study revealed that students had a high level of digital information literacy but a moderate level for language learning. Even though they had a moderate level, they were willing to receive digital literacy instructions for their language learning. They also asserted that the lack of learning materials influenced how the use digital technologies for learning. In addition, they demonstrated that they found new digital literacies mostly from websites and social media. The findings recommended that language teachers adopt new digital literacy that uses digital tools to support teaching and learning to become more effective and creative.

Abstract

A number of studies have shown that genre analysis through move analysis is a practical approach to identifying complexity in writing research papers (RAs). However, the development of general knowledge embodied in abstract discourse patterns is rarely known. This study aims to clarify whether educational level influences the development of general knowledge, especially in the field of abstract research. Using Hyland's (2000) five-step analysis model, this study analyzes the comparison and identity of thesis abstracts in English and Indonesian. The results of the analysis showed several differences and similarities in the realization of abstract discourse patterns in the final project abstracts in English and Indonesian. As for genre knowledge, its development is expressed in the level of learning, from undergraduate to postgraduate. As can be seen from the thesis abstracts in both languages, Move1 (Introduction) presents a richer variety of step-by-step implementations. The analysis also shows that there are no significant differences in the development of genre knowledge across languages and study areas. It is suggested to have more subject data for further comparative research on this particular topic. Keywords: Abstract, Abstract discourse pattern, thesis, English genre knowledge, Indonesian.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the teachers’ perceptions towards online assessment due to the Covid-19 pandemic, including how the practice went, the challenges faced, and what teachers' opinions were. Four English teachers of secondary schools participated in this study. The interview sections were employed to gather data on teachers’ perceptions of the online assessment practice. Then, the data were analyzed qualitatively. Finally, this study found out that the practice of online assessment depended much on technology. The teachers exploited many online software and applications to support the assessment process. The technology was also able to assess the students formatively and summatively. Furthermore, the challenges faced by the teachers were the internet connection problem, lack of physical communication with the students, the impracticality of scoring, unmotivated students, and low integrity of students’ results. Finally, the teachers' perceptions of the online assessment were positive and negative. The teachers felt excited to try the new technology to boost the assessment process. However, many of them also preferred the offline class to assess the students.

Abstract

The current global pandemic triggers English teachers to be innovative and competent in delivering teaching instructions in online classrooms. Even though Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) is widely used to support online language teaching and learning, nonetheless, the integration of Mobile-Assisted Language Assessment (MALA) in speaking skills has not been immensely examined. Thus, this current study aimed to scrutinize Indonesian EFL learners’ perceptions of the use of WhatsApp as a tool for peer assessment in an online speaking class, as well as its potential benefits and drawbacks. This qualitative study employed a semi-structured interview to gain the data which were then analyzed by using phenomenological analysis. Fourteen secondary learners participated in two sessions of an online class by assessing their peers’ oral performances via the WhatsApp application. In the end, they were interviewed regarding their views on the method employed to assess their oral skills. The results indicated the participants’ positive perceptions towards the method along with various benefits and drawbacks they encountered during the process which were divided into technical and academic aspects. The results suggested that WhatsApp as a tool for mobile-assisted language assessment was not supposed to be perceived as a single major assessment for speaking skills, rather as an alternative to complement traditional assessments.
