This study can further initiate valuable implications for teachers’ belief on how teachers’ performers with pedagogic competence and knowledge in teaching english by using phonics to develop students reading skills, to find the teachers’ specific beliefs for teaching reading using phonics in kindergarten school. Considering beliefs can’t be seen or quantified directly, researchers searched for several effective data gathering approaches to discover teachers' belief. The researcher used a qualitative case study to investigate to address the research objectives about teachers’ beliefs about using phonics to develop Kindergarten School students’ reading. The researcher discovers that the teachers’ belief comprises of information, experience, prespective, assumption, truth, and perception regarding teaching english observations. In actuality, the teacher's belief teaches not only information but also the teacher's own viewpoint. Three factors reflect a teacher's belief in teaching using phonics: knowledge about teaching reading using phonics, teachers’ behavior about teaching reading and the creation of conditions and environments. The researcher suggest that the principal provide some training or workshops for teachers to aid them in properly executing the lessons. It help improve students' reading since they are exposed to a positive learning environment.

One of the difficulties, speaking anxiety, has a significant impact on one’s capacity to speak a foreign language. Students are often hesitant to use English in class during their speaking performance. In line with this, the study aims to scrutinize the types of students’ anxiety and the factors that affect the student’s anxiety in English speaking class. Therefore, the case study as part of qualitative research design was employed to complete the study. The participants were the eighth graders of a private junior high school in East Java, Indonesia, that consisted of 22 students. The researchers obtained the data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the students experienced state anxiety, trait anxiety, and specific situation anxiety. Moreover, the factors that affected the students’ anxiety were test anxiety, communication apprehension, and fear of negative evaluation. According to the findings, English for Foreign Language (EFL) teachers should not only identify that anxiety is a fundamental factor in students' failure to learn a new language but also help them cope with their feelings of unease and discomfort.

This study suggests two research questions. First, what types of simple present tense errors made by students in their writing text? Second, what are the errors' causes? This study aimed to describe types of errors and examine the causes of errors in the use of simple present tense in writing text made by eleventh grade students of SMK PGRI 5 Jember. Descriptive qualitative research was used in this study because the data in this study were presented in the form of words rather than numbers, were obtained in a natural context, and were discussed descriptively. The data was compiled using information provided by English teachers and students. This information was gathered from students’ writing worksheet, student questionnaires response and the answer of students’ interview. Thus, error analysis is performed based on surface strategy taxonomy there are; omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. This study focus on research errors caused by intralingual transfer. The participants of the study were 37 eleventh grade students of OTKP 3 in SMK PGRI 5 Jember. The results showed that there are the most frequent error that were committed by students is omission error, and the causes of students in making error in the use of simple present tense are overgeneralization, ignorance of the rules’ restrictions, and false concept hypothesized. It is expected that analyzing students' errors in using simple present tense in writing descriptive text will improve the teacher's teaching strategy and help students overcome their errors, particularly in writing.

Online media is the activities which are done throughout the internet in order to take benefits from it: such as to post, exchange, and search for online materials using symbols, text, voice, and other. Online media is known as published media over the internet, such as in web-sites, social media, and blog. However, it is self-evident that the internet not only connects people and entertains them, but also gives intellectual and scientific knowledge. The purpose of this study is to explore the students’ perception on the use of online media for their learning activities and the students perceive the use of online learning media on the development of their reading comprehension. This study used a descriptive method with qualitative design to observe and obtain information about a current phenomenon as much as possible. The instrument of this study is a semi-structured interview and questionnaire. For the data collection, the researcher gave some questions as an interview and explanation about how to answer the questionnaire. The results of research showed that online media is proven to help students in understanding the lesson. From questionnaires that have been submitted can be concluded that online media is very influential in the learning process because it makes it easier for teachers to explain and answer student questions, getting students' attention to achieve learning goals. Thus, using online media to increase students’ skills in reading comprehension is necessary as it is believed to help teachers and students to expand and support the English teaching and learning activities.

The teaching and learning process must be able to foster student independence and activeness so that students do not depend on the teacher in understanding the material. The teacher center learning method is not able to foster the active role of students in learning so that the method must shift to become student-centered. The student center learning method supported by blended learning facilitates students to explore their knowledge actively and independently. Community of Inquiry (CoI) can be applied to blended learning to create more interactive and innovative learning. This study intends to ascertain the influence of implementing Community of Inquiry (CoI) on Blended Learning. This research is a literature study. Data collection was carried out by reviewing and digging up several journals, articles, data sources and also various information related to research. Data analysis was carried out by analyzing and comparing library sources to obtain theoretical data. The study's findings suggest that the application of Community of Inquiry (CoI) has an influence on: 1) increasing student motivation, 2) improving student learning outcomes, 3) problem solving ability, and 4) increasing student understanding. Therefore, it can be said that the application of Community of Inquiry (CoI) on blended learning is a framework designed to offer independent, active, and collaborative learning methods

Although having three courses of writing, college students’ especially at Unimuda Sorong often forget to apply conjunction to their writing when composing text. Students also tended to make very long sentence in a text that sometimes make the main ideas were difficult to be understood. Thus, this research aimed at exploring students’ ability in applying conjunction in writing research proposal. This qualitative research design used eight semester of English department students as the subject. The data was collected by document analysis. The obtained data was analyzed using the theory by Spradley. The results of this research showed that English department students’ used three kinds of conjunction, these were coordinating conjunction, correlative conjunction and subordinating conjunction, to join clauses or ideas. The mostly used conjunctions were coordinating conjunction and subordinating conjunction. In the chapter introduction, the conjunctions used to emphasize, give detail information and give strong reason for taking certain topic for research. It also used to influence the reader to agree with the information presented by the researchers. In the chapter research methodology, the students tended to use subordinating conjunction to ease students in presenting phases or steps in planning, organizing and conducting their research
