Scholars have long debated the impact of bilingualism on foreign language acquisition. This research was conducted in Senior High School and it involved five bilingual students. They were considered qualified as research subjects because of their language background. The researchers employed observation, documentation of students’ writing, and in-depth interview to gain the data. The aims of this research are: to describe the bilingual students’ writing performance, to explore writing strategies used by bilingual students, and the reasons why they use those strategies. The research findings suggest that students had a lack of awareness in the organization and content of their writing because they were only concerned about the structure and spelling. Bilingual students used some strategies during writing preparation, while writing, and revision. During the writing preparation, they preferred to write carefully and collaboratively by making a draft, writing scratch before real writing, asking teacher's instruction, and others. While writing, they did not really give attention to readers’ perspectives. Also during the revision process, they were concerned to edit words or sentences instead of revising the content or organization.

The primary aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of using artificial intelligence-based pronunciation checker in learning pronunciation independently from the viewpoints of higher education students of English Education Department in IAIN Jember. Mix method were used as the research design. The quantitative data were obtained through one group pretest posttest design to know the effectiveness of the application to student’s pronunciation achievement. Then, a questionnaire was used to investigate student’s attitude toward the pronunciation application. The results of the speaking test showed that student’s pronunciation was improved. The average score of student’s pre-test score was increased for about 30 points, from 56 points to 90 points on posttest. The analysis of student’s questionnaire demonstrated conceptions about using technology of doing independent learning especially in English pronunciation. The study suggests that while students admit the effectiveness of artificial intelligence technology in learning pronunciation independently, they still believe that having a real communication, especially with natives as frequently as possible, will help their pronunciation learning faster and better.

The vast benefits of reading in both the first and the target language makes reading essential for English Language Teaching Department students who are not only English language learners but also English teacher candidates. This study explores English student teachers’ reading habits and preferences. An open-ended and closed-ended questionnaire and interviews were used to collect information on 88 English student teachers’ reading habits and preferences. The participants’ reading habits were predicted by their attitudes towards reading, reading frequency, and reading material preferences. The findings suggest that although student teachers mostly displayed positive attitudes towards reading and acknowledged the importance of reading, they didn’t really invest in personal reading. In terms of reading preferences, most of the student teachers chose fiction books and online materials as the most preferred reading materials. When it comes to language preferences, most of them preferred to read in their first language (Indonesian) instead of the language they are currently learning (English) for both academic reading and reading for pleasure.

The fact that English as a second language is perceived to be failed has been a source of criticism for stagnating research in English Language Teaching (ELT). One explanation is that the essence of human learning language has not been taken into account. Furthermore, the tendency that single model of theory applications narrow the subject of research in ELT, using linguistic theories to develop language capacity. Brain study, such as neuroscience, seems to be neglected for considerations that it is irrelevant with language learning. This article identifies possibilities of using a new approach for developing the area of TEFL. As this is literature review, the report is to argue that critical literature review may be useful for initial stage studies, crossing the boundaries of what is called a relevant or irrelevant field, and to identify possible steps in doing critical literature review.

Language is a powerful tool to communicate ideologies and build a society. Through language, we can see what kind of society we are living in; and apparently, we are living in a society where sexism flourishes without us realizing it. This type of sexism is called as subtle sexism, appearing to be unintentional and harmless because the unequal and unfair treatmeant of women is perceived to be normative. In Indonesia, subtle sexism can be found in EFL textbooks. As the main language input, textbooks can transfer cultural values and ideologies through the targeted language. Hence, subtle sexism is ‘softly’ hidden on the pages and readers – students in this case – are not aware that they are being indoctrinated. This study examined an Indonesian EFL textbook entitled Bahasa Inggris Kelas XII for the twelfth graders in Indonesia which was published by the Ministry of Education and Culture. By implementing content analysis, this research has two objectives, i.e. (1) to find out whether the book promotes subtle sexism, and (2) how teachers, as the last filters, can confront subtle sexism in the book and other EFL textbooks in general. The results show that even though the textbook does not reflect any signs of blatant and covert sexism, it still promotes subtle sexism that the writers might not aware of. Also, this study tries to propose some suggestions for teachers to confront subtle sexism in EFL textbooks, such as using a gender bias checklist, making changes or creating new original materials, fostering a critical class discussion by using the sexist textbooks, and teaching gender-fair language.

In 2020, conducting education in distance is obligatory since the education must continue while the world is still fighting with the coronavirus disease and one of the ways of teaching in distance learning is using ICT. While several studies have investigated teachers’ attitudes of using ICT in face to face classrooms, few studies investigate teachers’ attitudes of using ICT in distance learning. This study examines 52 teachers’ attitudes and problems in using ICT in EFL distance learning in a language development center. The questionnaires are delivered and the interview is conducted to collect the data that disclose the teachers’ attitudes and problems of using ICT in distance learning. After analyzing the data, the findings in this study indicate that the teachers have positive attitudes toward the use of ICT in distance learning. The problems that occur when using ICT in distance learning are further discussed and possible suggestions are presented.

This research aims to investigate teachers’ perceptions and their implementation of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) as well as compare teachers’ perceptions and implementation of PCK in teaching English for young learners. There are 3 primary school English teachers from 3 different public primary schools in Badung regency who were selected by using convenience sampling techniques. A mix-method design embedded with dominant qualitative is used in this study. In collecting the data, questionnaires, observation sheets, and interview guides were used. The data were analyzed through descriptive qualitative. The results showed that the teachers had a strong positive perception of PCK meanwhile the teachers had a very weak level in implementing pedagogical content knowledge in the class. After both of the data were compared, it found that there was a lack of consistency between the teachers' perceptions and implementation of PCK in teaching English for young learners. According to the result, it clarified that there were some problems that encountered by the teachers during teaching young learners such as problem in using English in teaching, dealing with students' different characteristics and backgrounds, having problem in using media and having a different view about strategies used.

The use of the first language (L1) in adult second (L2/SL) or foreign language (FL) classrooms has always been a bone of contention over the past few decades. Many are in favor of L1 use terming it as constructive and facilitating for language learning while some disapprove that practice and identify it as a hindrance to the teaching and learning of a language. Of late, the concept of translanguaging has added a new dimension to this long-standing debate of using L1 in teaching/learning L2 since it basically insists on viewing languages as a single unitary system as opposed to the traditional linguistic perception of L1 versus L2. However, there have only been a very few studies on translanguaging with particular emphasis and attention given to ESL/EFL adults at the college/university level. This research study thus attempts to shed light on the theoretical underpinnings of this L1-L2 dichotomy and discuss how translanguaging differs from the customary notion of using L1 in the adult L2 classroom. This study uses a qualitative research method that exclusively uses the relevant secondary references/works available on the topic. The results demonstrated that both translanguaging and the notion of L1use in the L2 classroom are pedagogically similar as both allow the use of L1 in L2 classrooms at varying degrees though theoretically, they are different.

This study explores EFL students’ engagement during interactive read-aloud activity. Students’ engagement was observed in two meetings (Mean= 70 minutes). The subject of this research was the 10 th grade of high school students. The data was taken from the teacher’s field notes and the students’ essay (n= 32). The teacher’s field notes were used as a tool to see how interactive read aloud was applied; while students’ essays were used to gather the students’ writing performance and language functions. The result shows that in behavioural engagement the students were very much engaged during the classroom activity. As in cognitive engagement, it could be seen that the students used to mix languages in delivering their idea in spoken, while in writing, most of the students had excellent ability to elaborate their idea. Students showed their affective engagement through their excitement and eagerness while listening and discussing story book during interactive read-aloud.

This study investigates the mood choice used by Indonesian English foreign language learners. The data were the spoken utterances of simulated conversation by four graduate students of English Education Department. The data were transcribed, encoded, analyzed, and interpreted based on the taxonomy of mood system, within the framework of Hallidays systemic functional linguistics, as proposed mainly by Eggins and Slade (1997) and Eggins (2004). Findings revealed that there are six types of moods, namely declarative, tagged declarative, polar interrogative, wh-interrogative, imperative, and exclamative. In addition, there are non-mood clause, namely minor clause, nonfinite clause, and incomplete clause. The dominant findings of numbers of declarative moods suggested that the exchanges of information dominate the conversation. Also, this may indicates the levels of participants competence in using casual English in foreign language context.
