The low English vocabulary mastery has caused Baitul Hijrah Orphanage’s orphans poor achievement of English. Regarding the issue, this research was conducted to find a breakthrough to help the orphans’ vocabulary improvement. In term of boosting their vocabulary need, the researcher explored English youth magazine as a media to be used. Thus, this study was aimed to examine and compare between the effects of using English youth magazine and English textbook on students' vocabulary mastery. This study assigned true-experimental research design to test the hypothesized relationship between variables. The sample of this study was 28 orphans at second grade of senior high school that were divided into control and experimental group by systematic sampling method. Data collection was vocabulary test scores results consisted of 100 multiple choice questions. The result showed that the English youth magazine usage as media could significantly improve vocabulary mastery; thus, students who were taught vocabulary using English youth magazine obtained higher scores than those who were taught vocabulary using English textbook. In conclusion, English youth magazine is a teaching aid that can be used to gain the students' vocabulary mastery.

Education has increasingly turned to virtual learning in response to greater awareness of the benefits of virtual learning, increased technology to support learning outside of educational institutions, and, sadly, the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, awareness has also increased of the benefits of student-student cooperation, and technology to facilitate that cooperation has multiplied. Unfortunately, not all students have access to that technology. This article shares ideas, both low-tech and high-tech, to enhance the functioning of groups in virtual learning environments.

While researchers have begun to clarify the status of L2 writing studies, past bibliometric assessments of L2 writing research may still designate it as a field of applied linguistics. They sought the topic of L2 writing in key databases and journals, retrieved relevant publications, and ran a bibliometric analysis. They might increase the number of papers for review, but they undermine the value and influence of specialist publications, notably the flagship journal of L2 writing. The goal of this study was to undertake a bibliometric analysis of 656 publications published in the Journal of Second Language Writing from 2002 to June 2021, retrieved from WoS and based on HistCite Pro. The HistCite graph marker indicated 30 articles as nodes and 59 combinations of nodes as links. Four out of the five clusters on the citation map originated in 2003, demonstrating that major research issues emerged in the year and took root in subsequent studies.
虽然研究人员已经开始明确第二语言写作研究的地位,但过去对第二语言写作研究的文献计量学评估可能仍然将其指定为应用语言学领域。他们在关键数据库和期刊中寻找第二语言写作的主题,检索相关出版物,并进行文献计量分析。它们可能会增加论文的审查数量,但它们会削弱专业出版物的价值和影响力,尤其是第二语言写作的旗舰期刊。本研究的目的是对2002年至2021年6月发表在《第二语言写作杂志》(Journal of Second Language Writing)上的656篇论文进行文献计量学分析,这些论文检索自WoS,基于HistCite Pro。HistCite图标记将30篇文章作为节点,59个节点的组合作为链接。引文图上的5个集群中有4个起源于2003年,这表明重大研究问题出现在这一年,并在随后的研究中扎根。

This study aimed to develop alternative English-speaking testing to be used during the COVID-19 pandemic. A semi-direct speaking test for 4 graders was the final product of this study. Cambridge curriculum with the ESL framework (0837) was used to formulate the test. It was designed using steps suggested by (Bachman and Palmer,1996). It also has been reviewed by an expert and a trial group. It asked each test-taker to tell a story using provided picture series, connectors, and past verbs within 5 minutes. A minute was given for them to study the picture series; the rest was to do the test. It was delivered by using video conferencing called Zoom. The result showed that the test developed was a valid, reliable, practical, and authentic measurement. Its reliability was proved by test-retest and interrater results. Its validity, practicality, and authenticity were proved by providing an expert judgement collected through questionnaires.

The case study is intended to describe how Core Values, Vision, and Mission of English Education Department in Widya Mandala Catholic University’s Graduate School (Magister Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris or “MPBI”) are translated into the syllabi (prescribed curriculum) using the Value Sharing Model as the framework and Actor Network Theory (ANT) to explain the process within this framework. The research questions are: first, do the course syllabi reflect the Vision, Mission and Core Values of MPBI? And second, how the vision, mission and core values are translated into the prescribed curriculum (syllabi)? This study was conducted by analyzing the syllabi using document analysis parameters and triangulated by conducting interviews to some lecturers and students in MPBI-19. The results are: first, the syllabi were reflecting the core values, vision and mission statements. Second, there are four ways to deliver values. Third, syllabus should be seen as a part of a curriculum not as a separated unit of course. Fourth, all courses are crystallized in Teaching Practice course (in practical term) and Thesis Writing (in theoretical form). The suggestions were: first, using a generalized format of syllabus to help lecturers state their values explicitly. Second, there are opportunities to research further the same topic in the scope of enacted curriculum. And third, lecturers should maintain their internalization processes.
本案例研究旨在描述威迪雅曼陀罗天主教大学研究生院(Magister Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris或“MPBI”)英语教育系的核心价值观、愿景和使命如何以价值共享模型为框架,并以行动者网络理论(ANT)解释该框架下的过程,转化为教学大纲(规定课程)。研究的问题是:第一,课程大纲是否反映了MPBI的愿景、使命和核心价值观?第二,学校的愿景、使命和核心价值观如何转化为课程大纲?本研究采用文献分析参数法对教学大纲进行分析,并通过对部分MPBI-19的教师和学生进行访谈进行三角测量。结果是:首先,教学大纲反映了核心价值观、愿景和使命宣言。第二,有四种传递价值的方式。第三,教学大纲应该被视为课程的一部分,而不是一个独立的课程单元。第四,所有课程都集中在教学实践课程(实践形式)和论文写作(理论形式)中。建议是:第一,使用一个通用的教学大纲格式来帮助讲师明确地陈述他们的价值观。其次,有机会在制定课程的范围内进一步研究同一主题。第三,讲师应该保持他们的内化过程。

This research aims to investigate the effect of teaching English vocabulary to young learners via Augmented Reality learning media. The subject of this research was 12 students of grade 1 elementary school. Due to strict health protocols during COVID-19 outbreak, the testing phase was done in students' respective homes accompanied by their parents using cell phones. Vocabulary illustrated in 30 three-dimensional objects and their written form were generated through cell phone’s scanning. A quiz consisted of 54 multiple choice questions was provided after the interactive learning experience. Both the vocabulary and quiz were refer to Thematic English Exploration for Grade 1 book. The results showed that learning vocabulary using AR application was able to increase the mean evaluation score by 0.77%. This application is effective in helping students improve their English language skills as approved by 76% of parents. The AR application was also approved by 59% of parents that it was easy to use. The AR application is proven to be convenience for students to learn English vocabulary interactively and feasible to be used as learning media.
