Abstract. In today's information technology-integrated education, designing teaching activities for digital learning and flexibly using technology tools is the most important issue. The design of authentic materials and materials in English as a second or foreign language via Tubequizard's innovative web has a significant impact on language learners at the university level, according to this paper. Applying a mixed method, this study highlighted the undergraduate students’ perceptions of their experience with Tubequizard as ELT materials during COVID 19. By using purposive sampling, this study sample involved 71 students and five students for an online interview at the computer science faculty of Universitas Al Asyariah Mandar located at West Sulawesi, Indonesia. By conducting an online survey, the instruments of this study used a questionnaire and interviews. The findings of this study resulted in Tubequizard content being helpful to students to engage and motivate them in learning English, and their respondents strongly believe that Tubequizard is a technology innovation for lecturers in designing their teaching materials to be more interesting, easy to understand, Tubequizard materials according to the student’s needs, supported accelerate learning, suitable for all English skills, engage students in active and autonomous learning, expand students’ knowledge, meet positively students expectations in English class, encourage students to think creatively and critically, and suitable to give ideas for EFL classroom than the traditional model. Thus, it can be concluded that for teaching foreign languages, authentic and culturally appropriate materials are essential.Keywords: Digital language learning, developing materials, EFL, Technology and Tubequizard

Abstract. This study investigates the use of the Hör-Sehen strategy in improving students' ability to understand texts in the Receptive course of the German language. This strategy combines what is heard and what is seen (e.g. an audio-visual technique), making it easier for students to understand the content of the text. This research used a mixed methods research design, combining descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods of a Concurrent embedded research model. The data collection techniques used in this study consisted of observation, pre-test implementation, experiment implementation, post-test implementation, questionnaire distribution, and student response questionnaire. Respondents in this study amounted to 30 students of the German language education study program who were at the beginner level. The results show that applying the Hör-Sehen strategy has a statistically significant positive influence on the ability to understand German texts in beginning learners in the Receptive course. The results of the interviews and questionnaires show that using this strategy can focus students' thinking and make them interested and motivated to take part in the learning process. The other results show that the students understand the information contained in the texts, can offer an interpretation, and provide reflection and assessment of a text through exercises and assignments, which are structured according to the steps in this strategy and form an initial understanding of difficult vocabulary in the textKeywords: Language Ability, Text Understanding, Beginning Language Learners, German, Hör-Sehen Strategy

Abstract. This study aims to investigate and define Japanese women's language politeness in communication interviews. This study is descriptive, using a content analysis approach. This study collected Japanese women's words, phrases, and clauses from YouTube videos and used free-conversation listening and note-taking techniques to acquire data. The results showed three main types of Japanese woman’s polite language in communication interviews: teineigo, kenjougo, and sonkeigo. Sonkeigo is used when the speaker wishes to show respect for the other person and the person being discussed. In contrast, the phrase kenjyogo puts the speaker on a lesser level with the recipient. Teineigo is best described as a form of polite or formal speech. It is found that keigo is a method of Japanese women to express their politeness, etiquette and also emotional in the same time This finding also contributes to a greater understanding of social position and social status in Japanese society, as well as how Japanese women communicate to maintain their image in the eyes of others Keywords: Japanese Woman, Politeness Language, Communication Interview, Sociolinguistic

Abstract. Every student has a different ability to learn vocabulary. There are students with good ability to learn new vocabulary, but on the other side, there are also students with low ability to learn. Students who have a low ability to learn are usually called students with special education needs. They need extra consideration for their education. An animated cartoon is suggested to be one of the audiovisual media that provide both sounds and moves. This research was conducted to know the effect of using animated cartoons on the vocabulary mastery of students with special educational needs (SEN). The research was using a pre-experimental research design and the type of data was numeric data from students' tests. This research was conducted in one of the SEN schools in Madiun Regency involving 15 students with mental retardation. The data were collected by exhibiting a vocabulary mastery test. The data were analyzed by using paired sample t-test with the level of significance at.05. The result shows the significant value is 0.002. This value is lower than the α = 0.05, so Ha is accepted, and H0 is rejected. It can be said that there is a significant effect of animated cartoons on students' vocabulary. It implies that the animated cartoon can help students with special education needs especially mental retardation to learn vocabulary. Hopefully, the next researchers can conduct other research using the media for other skills and disabilities.Keywords: Animated Cartoon, Vocabulary mastery, Students with Special Education Needs

Abstract. The main character, Yasmin, in the novel Maya was described as a strong and independent woman. Her relationship with other characters in the novel was the main focus of this research in terms of the power relation between Yasmin and other characters. This study aimed to find out Yasmin’s traits (in addition to the existing traits analyzed) through the analysis of politeness strategies used by Yasmin in her relationship with other characters. Qualitative method was used in which data analyzed were utterances. The utterances were analyzed based on the power relation between speaker and hearer as well as the politeness strategies used. The discussion showed that Yasmin used positive politeness more than other strategies and put herself in the position of holding the power in her relationship with other characters. Thus, Yasmin can be considered as a person who is confident as well as flexible. Keywords: Politeness Strategies, Character, Power Relation

Abstract. This study is to describe the influencing factors of students’ affective silence in English classroom interaction. It used descriptive qualitative method taking all twelfth-grade students of science class consisting of 31 participants as the data resources. Three instruments were utilized to gain the data, namely (1) observation, (2) questionnaire, and (3) interview. The findings of this study show that there were ten affective factors influencing students’ silence in the classroom. They are (1) feeling nervous, (2) lack of self-esteem, (3) lack of self-confidence, (4) fear of making mistakes and worrying about other people's judgment, (5) worrying about their inability, (6) feeling unable to meet the teacher's expectations, (7) students’ personality, (8) avoiding awkwardness, (9) feeling embarrassed, and (10) avoiding showing off their ability. These factors empirically indicate that students' silence during the teaching and learning process takes place in the classroom is not always influenced by their cognitive inability but the affective aspect turns out to be something that quite dominates their inability to express themselves. Based on these findings, it takes into account that the students were not able to participate in teaching and learning process because of affective factors that trigger their inactivity.Keywords: Affective, Passiveness, Silence

Abstract. Learner autonomy has recently gained popularity among scholars of ELT as autonomy is pivotal, especially during the thesis writing process. This study aims to explore undergraduate students’ learner autonomy during thesis writing. A case study method was employed to explore and record students' autonomy. A case study is a comprehensive, all-encompassing description and study of specific phenomena like a program, an institution, a person, a process, or a social unit. The data were collected from semi-structured interviews, weekly writing progress of five EFL students in Indonesia, and observation in the classroom. As a case study, those five participants were sufficient to represent their learning autonomy demonstrated during the semester. Oxford's taxonomy of learner autonomy was used to find the emerged themes from the interviews. The data raised three themes: motivation, agency, and writing strategies. The extrinsic motivation was more dominant than intrinsic motivation in this study. Moreover, three of five participants indicated highly intense motivation. Regarding learning strategy, students with more motivation were able to explore more writing strategies. It was found that social strategies were widely employed by the participants. They like to discuss with their peers and ask for feedback from their supervisor. Agency during undergraduate thesis writing is still underrepresented, particularly the one demonstrating students’ decisions about their research trajectory. This study revealed that their agency is affected by their experiences and projective dimension to make improvements. Supervisor instructions play a crucial role in the development of students' autonomy. Hence, further investigation in this area is needed. This study offers research and practical implications for future research and educators, especially in higher education. This study provides a future research direction for both students and lecturers to foster learner autonomy during undergraduate thesis writing.Keywords: Agency, Learner Autonomy, Motivation, Writing Strategies

Abstract. Bumi Manusia as a postcolonial novel became a vehicle for Toer to articulate his national identity as Indonesian during the Dutch colonialism. Its translation into This Earth of Mankind posts two questions of whether or not power relations are brought in the translation and how the translator represents Indonesian culture in English. In order to answer the two, postcolonial translation approach was employed. This research is qualitative for it aims at analyzing the text. Seven data were selected based on two indicators representing the most relation between the colonized and colonizer or postcoloniality of the Dutch East Indies and were analyzed employing Baker’s translation strategies. The findings reveal that there are unequal relations between the source language (Indonesian) and the target language (English). In This Earth of Mankind, the translator does not show Indonesian cultural representation. There are great loss of information, omission, biased information, and great loss of impactful meaning of the source language in the target language that create another colonial domain and leave colonial trace in the target language.Keywords: Postcolonial Translation, Bumi Manusia, Postcolonialism, Colonialism, Power Relations
摘要作为一部后殖民小说,《布米手稿》成为托尔在荷兰殖民主义时期表达其印尼民族身份的工具。它被翻译成《人类的地球》,提出了两个问题,即翻译中是否涉及权力关系,以及译者如何用英语表达印尼文化。为了回答这两个问题,采用了后殖民翻译方法。本研究为定性研究,旨在分析文本。根据荷属东印度殖民地与殖民者或后殖民关系最密切的两个指标选择了七个数据,并采用贝克的翻译策略进行了分析。研究结果表明,源语(印尼语)和目的语(英语)之间存在不平等的关系。在《This Earth of Mankind》中,译者并没有表现出印尼文化的再现。在译入语中存在着原语信息的大量丢失、遗漏、偏颇和影响意义的大量丢失,在译入语中形成了另一个殖民领域,留下了殖民痕迹。关键词:后殖民翻译,布米手稿,后殖民主义,殖民主义,权力关系

Abstract. This paper is aimed at describing the parts (paragraphing and contents) of problem-solution short essay necessary for the assessment and analyzing the approach used in designing the rubric. The data are taken from the sample of problem-solution short essay which belongs to the argumentative writing. The data were collected by using the documentation method and was analyzed qualitatively. The results show that there are two main parts in the analytical assessment rubric for the problem and solution short essay namely contents and grammar with the percentage values 60% and 40% respectively. The assessments of contents cover the suitable Title of the essay, Paragraphing, and Task response. Each of them has scoring scales. Meanwhile, grammar assessments that contains omission, addition, selection, ordering, plus the use of capital/small letters are measured by counting the numbers of errors. In order to get the total score of the essay, the excel sheets with certain formula are made. The top-down approach is appropriate in designing the analytical rubric for this type of short essay. It comprises of four steps, they are 1) choosing a framework for the intended assessment, 2) determining the criteria of the assessment, 3) adapting an existing rubric and designing the rubric for the specific learning purposes, and 4) use the rubric. The last step requires further observation and evaluation to test the effectiveness of the rubric that has been designed.Keywords: Assessment Rubric, Writing, Problem-Solution, Short Essay, Parts of Essay

Abstract. Having good vocabulary knowledge is essential for every student who learns a new language. However, there are only limited previous research projects which have studied the development of English language students’ vocabulary knowledge. Thus, this current study investigated English students’ vocabulary progress of participants who studied at a private tertiary institution in West Java, Indonesia. The participants came from three batches: 2018, 2019, and 2020 to find out the difference of development of vocabulary among them after studying English for two semesters. In its investigation, this study used two different instruments: the Vocabulary Size Test and the Vocabulary Level Test which respectively were created by Nation & Beglar (2007) and Webb et al. (2017). The findings show that after two semesters, the most improved vocabulary size occurred to participants from batch 2019. On average, the vocabulary size achieved after two semesters is enough to read more advanced texts. However, the average score of their vocabulary level test shows that the high-frequency words were not yet mastered, with a decrease on the average score of 2020 students. The finding might imply that there should be more intervention in the teaching and learning of high-frequency words.Keywords: EFL Students, Vocabulary Size, Vocabulary Level
