The most challenging skill for EFL learners, especially in online learning is listening. As a result, an effective teaching tool is required to improve student's listening skills and motivation. This research aim is to describe how second graders students at Jiarawanon-Utis 4 School in Loei Province, Thailand used the Quizizz Audio Feature to enhance their listening skills. Eight students from the first semester of the school year 2021-2022 took part in this study. CAR (Classroom Action Research) was conducted in this study divided into two cycles. Each cycle consists of three meetings and four steps; planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data collection were collected from listening test, quizziz, observation, and questionnaires. Then triangulation is needed to evaluate the data. The result showed that there was an improvement in students’ listening skills. It is proven from the result of the average of both cycles. The average is 70,81% in the first cycle and 90,24% in the second cycle, so the enhancement is 19,43%.

The importance of a reading course in increasing students' ability to comprehend English text is critical. However, many students dislike and are uninterested in class reading activities. As a result, this study used the Numbered Head Together cooperative learning strategy to engage students in a reading course. Since this study focuses on teaching and learning activities in the classroom, it was designed as Classroom Action Research. The research was carried out in four steps. They were planning, performing, observing, and reflecting on their actions. This research was conducted in class B of the eighth grade of MTsN 1 Kediri, consisting of 39 students. The result showed that using the Numbered Head Together (NHT) strategy could help students enhance their reading comprehension skills. Furthermore, group discussions may impact students' attention and encourage them to participate in learning activities. Students were able to participate in the teaching-learning process using the Numbered Head Together (NHT) technique. They became more receptive to the teacher's explanations and collaborated with their peers in groups. They were also more engaged, enthusiastic, and confident in class activities, resulting in a livelier and more interesting classroom environment.

For running a successful extensive reading (ER) program, Day and Bamford’s ten ER priciples becomes “key ingredients” (Ng, Renandya, and Chong, 2019. P. 172). This study is aimed at revealing EFL students’ perceptions toward the use of the ER principles in their ER class. To achieve the aim, a questionnaire was distributed to 39 students from English Language Education Program, Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana. Besides, an interview to 10 student-respondents was also conducted. The collected data was then analyzed by classifying them under several themes, creating descriptive statistics, and extracting transcripts of the interviews. The results revealed that EFL student-participants agree that the ER course has applied all ten ER principles. How the ER principles were employed in the course and how they could enhance both students’ linguistic and nonlinguistic competences are also discussed in this paper.

The number of Indonesian novels translated into various foreign languages, especially English, requires a deeper study so that illegibility and unacceptableness will not occur in conveying the true meaning in the source language. This study examines the disclosure of the main character in the novel Bumi Manusia by Pramoedya Ananta Toer which was translated into English This Earth of Mankind using Appraisal theory in Functional Systemic Linguistics (LSF) perspective which includes the culture of the source language in it. The results of the analysis show that there is a shift in appraisal or a shift in the type of appraisal in the depiction of the main character in the novel in the source language (Indonesian) with the depiction of the character in the target language (English) as seen in the change in the choice of expression (words or phrases) in the target language. This can be interpreted that in the world of translation, the choice of equivalent target language words will always change according to acceptance with the culture and norms that apply to the target language.

One of the essential language aspects of English acquisition is pronunciation. Teaching pronunciation starts from younger age help the learners recognize the way to pronounce accurately. This article is based on classroom action research aiming at improving the young students’ pronunciation through songs. The subjects of the research were 23 young learners, the students of grade IV. There were two cycles in this classroom action research in which the researchers used songs as the intervention. The students were introduced to some English songs related to their materials and were asked to practice singing in the class. A test was administered to know the current students’ pronunciation skill before the intervention (pre-test), and also a post-test at the end of every cycle to find the difference before and after they were taught with songs. The mean score of the pre-test showed that the students’ pronunciation skill was in the range of “fair”. After that, the mean score of post-tests 1 and post- test 2 showed that the student’s pronunciation skill was improved to the range of “good” and “very good”. Moreover, during the observation, the researchers also found that the students got more motivated in learning English by the use of songs. Thus, it can be concluded that the students’ pronunciation skill is improved through the use of songs in the learning process.

In this pandemic, learning materials in 21st-century education are the main obstacles to improving students' quality. The government program followed up that schools were encouraged to hold online classes. The new situation poses several online learning challenges that do not always provide excitement for students when they have to adjust to the pace of learning. Online learning facilitates interaction between teachers and students to conduct language learning in real-time and interactively through online digital platforms such as video, voice calls, and communication via WhatsApp to deliver the material. In addition, speaking and learning strategies on study English as a foreign language for students to actively participate in class. Therefore, the expectations of both students and teachers regarding whether online synchronous classes are effectively implemented or not have not been sufficiently fulfilled. The researcher seeks to investigate the possible challenges in synchronous-online English learning according to students' perceptions. Researchers conducted a survey using observations, questionnaires, and interviews to collect data. Several participants were interviewed on students. The challenge consists of three major problems: technical challenges, situational challenges, and language anxiety. During the home learning strategies program, students revealed that they had different abilities to take online courses simultaneously due to their background and previous experience. However, most students have a desire to maintain strategies to improve their online learning strategies performance and to cope with changing situations. Similarly, the three grand strategies for dealing with their challenges include self-control, external control, and academic strategies. In addition, most students prefer to have asynchronous online classes over synchronous classes because of their flexibility.

Researchers conducted a survey using observations, questionnaires, and interviews to collect data. Several participants were interviewed on students. The challenge consists of three major problems: technical challenges, situational challenges, and language anxiety. During the home learning strategies program, students revealed that they had different abilities to take online courses simultaneously due to their background and previous experience. However, most students have a desire to maintain strategies to improve their online learning strategies performance and to cope with changing situations. Similarly, the three grand strategies for dealing with their challenges include self-control, external control, and academic strategies. In addition, most students prefer to have asynchronous online classes over synchronous classes because of their flexibility.","PeriodicalId":32677,"journal":{"name":"Eternal English Teaching Learning Research Journal","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81492771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
