Therefore, objective of this research was to find out whether or not there is significant effect of using context clues strategy on students’ reading comprehension. In this research, the researcher used quasi- experimental method by using the pre-test and post-test. The population of this research was 142 students consisting of four classes. The sample was X.OTKP there are 34 students which was treated as experimental class taught by using context clues strategy and X.BDP there are 34 students which was treated by conventional. Based on the finding, three hypothesis (Ha) were accepted. The first, the result of the pre-test and the post-test scores of experimental class was found that the tobtained (10,31) more than ttable (1,960). The second, the result of the post-test scores of experimental and control class were found that the tobtained (4,21) more than the ttable( 1,960). The last, the result of the post-test of experimental class and control class were found that tobtained (4,21) more than ttable (1,960).

It is the colonial empire that advented in the African continent in the 15th century and attempted to erode and stigmatise African cultural practices as part of its mission to take control of Africa. Despite Africa being under a democratic administration today, African cultural identities are still marginalised, chiefly, by colonial remnants that have not yet been successfully uprooted. Thus, this paper aims to re-anatomise the African cultural identity-crises in the present day from the onset of colonialism on the continent. It utilises a qualitative approach and crystallises this African cultural watershed from a literary perspective. Chinua Achebe’s Arrow of God is purposively sampled for the paper as a primary reference point by dint of its conformity to the main theme of the study. The paper, comprehensively, blames the enduring colonial fragments in the present day for the African cultural identity-crises as they hinder decolonisation and peril African cultures. The colonial legacies in Africa today, like in the colonial times, are found to be championing Western identities at the expense of African cultural identities, hence, the latter is still menaced.","PeriodicalId":34512,"journal":{"name":"ELTALL","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45747163","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}

The method used in this research was a quantitative method. To attain the reliability of the test instrument, the researcher used rubric of scoring namely an analytic scoring which was adopted from John Anderson to score the students’ writing on the pre-test and the post-test. To analyze the data the researcher used t-test formula and consulted the result into t-table with the level of significance α = 0.05. The research findings showed that the result of the pre-test and post-test score of the experimental class tₒ (-7,578) was higher than t table (1.717). Hₒ was rejected and Hₐ was accepted. It means that there is a significant effect of using Scaffolding Technique in teaching writing of recount text. Then, the calculation of the post-test both classes: was experimental class and control class, it was obtained that the tₒ (8,307) was higher than the t table () with a degree of freedom (DF) = 22. So, the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) were accepted, which means that there is a significant difference between using scaffolding technique and conventional. It can be concluded that the hypothesis is accepted. It is proved that using Scaffolding Technique can help the students in improving their ability in writing recount text.","PeriodicalId":34512,"journal":{"name":"ELTALL","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41852864","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}

Based on preliminary observation and interviews with the teacher, the researcher found several problems in teaching speaking. First students` were less motivated in learning speaking because of a lack of vocabulary. Second, students who do not understand the learning material feel embarrassed to ask their teachers and friends, or students just keep silent when they don't understand the learning material. Third, in groups, not all students discuss learning material and only a few students participate in the discussion. The research question of this research is how effective using the Number Head Together strategy is in teaching speaking. The purposes of this study were to identify the effectiveness of the use of the Number Head Together (NHT) strategy in teaching speaking at MAS Darul Makmur Sungai Cubadak.This research used mix method with first grade MAS Darul Makmur Sungai Cubadak students as the research population. The sample in this research was all students at first grade. In this study, the researcher used total sampling. Data collection was carried out by interview, observation, and documentation. In the interview, the researchers interviewed the teachers who used the Number Head Together in teaching speaking. There are 15 questions asked by the researcher to the teacher. In the observation, the researcher used an observation checklist. In addition to documentation, the data is taken from students' scores in speaking. Then the student's score was analyzed by the researcher. Based on the result of the study, it was revealed that Number Head Together strategy was effective in teaching speaking. This can be seen from the results of the researcher interview with the teacher who used Number Head Together strategy, and also it can be seen from the result of the observation sheet and was supported by an average student learning outcomes in speaking which reached 82.770%. It can be said that the Number Head Together Strategy was in very effective category.","PeriodicalId":34512,"journal":{"name":"ELTALL","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45925412","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}

Thus, the use of media in education impacts educational creativity development, such as digital technology applications. In terms of learning, digital literacy is the competency in understanding and using digital technologies effectively for learning. Research has already explored the need for digital literacy in the classroom. This recent paper tries to figure out how digital literacy is implemented in the teaching of ESP students. Furthermore, the method used to describe the idea of this paper is a conceptual paper in which the writer tries to figure out how digital learning is implemented for learning. The writer used literature review from some journal articles and books written by the experts to gather the data.
