Drawing on the framework of social semiotic text analysis as the functional variety of language and register theory: field, mode and tenor, the present study aimed to explore Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture-endorsed secondary school English textbook from the perspective of textbooks as “a resource for making meanings—language as a social semiotic.” The findings revealed that language textbooks should be viewed as sociocultural artifacts that feature register or the context of situation representation. This article examines the research question in what ways register variables are portrayed in one Indonesian Ministry of National Education-approved secondary school English textbook, which deploys various genres and discursive resources. This critical analysis reveals that verbal texts with different genres in the textbook represent a myriad of contexts of which both teachers and students need to become aware. The implication of this study suggests that both teachers and students need to equip with skills in analyzing and reading as well as in critical language awareness analysis. Both teachers and students should have the opportunity to engage critically with textbooks as a socio-semiotic agent, for instance.","PeriodicalId":391848,"journal":{"name":"English Learning Innovation","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128720519","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}

Considering what is known as the pedagogical competence of pre-service English teachers is an important part of this process. This study aimed at evaluating the pre-service English teachers’ pedagogical competence in the classroom while instructing pupils in the English language. This study employed a qualitative research approach, especially a case study method with five Indonesian pre-service English teachers who participated in a teaching internship program (TIP) to collect information. The researchers used a range of approaches to acquire information from the perspectives of the student-teachers. These methods included questionnaires, observations, and observation notes. During the data analysis phase, the researchers used data reduction, data visualization, conclusion writing, and verification to help them make sense of their findings. In addition, the triangulation procedure was used to examine and validate the information gathered from the participants throughout the research phase of the investigation. According to the results of this research, pre-service English teachers' pedagogical competence was good, with an average score of 3.33 out of 5 on the pedagogical competence score (67 percent).

The purpose of this research was to investigate the perspectives of students and teachers of the implementation of EMI at an Indonesian International school called Thursina IIBS Malang and to suggest ways to maximize the advantages of the policy while decreasing its disadvantages. To examine in-depth views and experience of the policy, structured interviews were conducted with 8th graders and academic teachers who were chosen purposively. Focus group discussion (FGD) was then employed to triangulate the data. The interview and FGD results showed that both students and teachers demonstrated strong acceptance of the policy because EMI could facilitate the teaching and learning process better and improve their English skills. However, in the EFL context, it was inevitably difficult to use English fully in the classroom where EMI naturally should be implemented fully in no other languages than English. Therefore, this study is expected to provide suggestions from the perspectives of EFL practitioners to maximize the benefit of the EMI policy in an EFL context.","PeriodicalId":391848,"journal":{"name":"English Learning Innovation","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130127908","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}

A specialized corpus comprising authentic 29 responses, written by top seven 4- and 5-star hotels in Malang was explored by following Swales’ notion of move analysis. Corpus-assisted analysis was also applied to identify some frequent expressions typical to major moves. The findings revealed that the generic structure of RNRs written by top hotels in Malang contain six moves and 23 steps. Unique to this finding are four additional steps that were distinct from previous studies, but appeared in the corpus: appreciating the stay, promoting hotel’s facility, clarifying misunderstanding, and making amends. ‘Thank you for’ (appearing 30 times in 22 responses) were among the most frequent expressions in major moves such as appreciating the stay and expressing gratitude. Other common expressions were also identified from the corpus and used as the basis of proposing a brief guideline for composing RNRs, which can be useful for teaching business English, or English for Specific Purposes. Overall, these findings outline a generic pattern through which representatives of top hotels in Malang manage customers’ dissatisfactions and complaints.
