This study was focused on investigating English Language Education (ELE) students’ preferences for the WCF covering the preferences for amount of feedback, writing aspects to focus on, correction techniques, and tones of feedback. A number of 188 ELE students participated in this study. Using mixed-methods design to collect data, the study revealed that the students expected to always have WCF on their errors as they have desire to always make improvement. Having WCF is considered essential as some students had difficulty analyzing errors independently. Besides believing the importance of all aspects of writing, the students mentioned some reasons related to their weaknesses that require focuses on all feedback. Most of the students preferred direct feedback and indirect feedback with location and indication of error types as they valued detailed feedback. The students saw feedback in negative tone and suggestive tone as the source of improvement, while one in positive tone increased positive feelings towards writing. The findings suggest the importance of increasing the students’ awareness of how to get benefits from different WCF techniques while still accommodating their preferences.","PeriodicalId":395606,"journal":{"name":"ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125742009","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}

Mix nation languages and lack of proper English communication skill onboard become barriers which had contributed to marine safety and even loss of property onboard. In consequence, seafarer candidates must be able to speak English well so they can avoid misunderstanding on shore-to-ship (and vice versa), ship-to-ship and on-board communications. Nevertheless, this skill becomes a crucial problem for some seafarer candidates who have lack confidence in speaking English. This study was conducted to investigate how vlogging could build the seafarer candidates’ English speaking skills whilst they had a lack of confidence. This research used descriptive qualitative research. It was conducted at Politeknik Maritim Negeri Indonesia. The samples of this study were 28 Marine Engineering students in the third semester. They were from A and B classes. This research used three techniques in collecting data namely questionnaire, observation, and interview. The questionnaire was given in an online form which contained 10 questions. To analyze the data, the writer used Likert scale. The writer also managed observation and an interview by giving them 10 open-ended questions. To support the data, the writer also analyzed the video result. The result of the study showed that Vlogs can be used to improve the seafarer candidate's confidence in speaking English.","PeriodicalId":395606,"journal":{"name":"ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127020550","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 data for this large-scale comparability study comprise candidates taking English language writing tests at four CEFR levels – B1 to C2 in the period 2019–2022. The data were analysed via effect size differences and equivalence tests. Measured by effect size, a small amount of difference was apparent in scores obtained between the two production modes at B1, B2 and C1 levels. At C2 level, there was a medium effect size, indicative of a difference in favour of computer-produced scripts. Differences observed on equivalence tests – an adaptation of the standard t-test – were not found to be statistically significant. The contribution of the research to knowledge lies in the fact that (with the exception of C2 level) – whether writing tests are written by hand or on computer, while there is a slight skew towards higher scores with computer-processed texts, candidates generally receive similar scores in both modes. Practically, candidates may elect to write either on paper or on computer without fear of bias.","PeriodicalId":395606,"journal":{"name":"ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124906532","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}

This research reviews how ChatGPT writes English essays. This research is descriptive qualitative. The analysis shows that we can access ChatGPT on openai.com or chat.openai.com on the browser. If we do not have an account, we register via email, Google, or Microsoft account. After login, enter a question or statement in the conversation column provided. Send it and ChatGPT will respond and the answer appear quickly. The researcher tries ChatGPT “Can you help me in doing my English assignment?\", and the ChatBot replies \"Of course! I'd be happy to help you with your English assignment. What do you need help with? Do you have a specific question or task that you're working on, or is there a broader topic that you'd like help with? It would be helpful to have some more information so that I can better understand how I can assist you\". Based on several tries, ChatGPT can answer all questions on various topics such as English essays including a descriptive text about Solo and My Family, recount text about personal experience and unforgettable moments, resolution in 2023, and future career. ChatGPT considers the event orders and writing order, including using main, explanatory sentences, and a conclusion. It uses two voices both active and passive voice. Besides, it considers tenses use related to the given topic essay. However, from examples of English essays produced by ChatGPT, it certainly requires further research to find out that the essay results are grammatically accurate.","PeriodicalId":395606,"journal":{"name":"ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130777494","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}

However, few studies have focused on students’ written works and examined how their writing performance change in response to teachers’ feedback and comments. This paucity of data from students’ actual works is problematic. Accordingly, this study scrutinized eight secondary school students’ reading log entries written in EFL and the feedback their teacher provided. Data were also collected from semi-structured interviews with the students and the teacher. Findings indicate that the combination of direct error correction in in-text feedback and mitigation strategies in end comments could lead to effective integration of interpersonality into WCF. Specifically, mitigation strategies such as using suggestions, expectation, and encouragement in lieu of criticism contributed to constructive and effective feedback. Demonstrated effects on students’ writing include lengthened text, decreased grammar mistakes, enriched content, and increased exam marks for writing. Meanwhile, teacher-student relationship was reported to have improved due to the application of interpersonal WCF. Practical implications of the findings include specific strategies that EFL teachers could adopt to effect interpersonality in WCF and thus enhanced student written works.","PeriodicalId":395606,"journal":{"name":"ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123701765","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}

This qualitative study aims to explore the perceptions of EFL female students in doing collaborative writing in a Writing for the Media class, such as how they think about finishing their writing tasks collaboratively, the benefits and challenges of doing collaborative writing in order to know whether collaborative writing can actually improve students’ writing skills or the opposite. The female students were chosen because studies prove that they contribute more for the group’s success. Data were gathered through a semi-structured interview with five EFL female students from a private university in Central Java, Indonesia. My analysis results indicated that EFL female students had positive perceptions towards collaborative writing, i.e., helping other students complete their writing tasks, providing opportunities to share ideas, and improving writing skills. Meanwhile, challenges that most of the research participants faced were dealing with differences in opinion, and lacking equal contribution from group members. Practical suggestions for improving online collaborative writing activities in online EFL writing classrooms and recommendations for future research are presented, i.e., assist and monitor the progress, giving a specific topic to write about to minimize conflict and differences of opinion, and providing rubrics for peer assessment.","PeriodicalId":395606,"journal":{"name":"ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128476676","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}

Interviews were conducted with, as the participants, six pre-service English teachers and two lecturers of the observed classes. The observation results indicated that movies were used to relate theories and real teaching practices. Through Thematic Analysis of the interview data, the study found that movies could inspire several pre-service English teachers. Movies minimised the gap between theories and practice. Movies helped pre-service teachers to see potential problems and obstacles when teaching in a real class. Informed of the generally positive impacts of the use of movies, it is suggested that teacher education programmes encourage more widespread use of movies to teach teaching-related classes to better prepare pre-service teachers for various classroom situations.","PeriodicalId":395606,"journal":{"name":"ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"NS20 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116553311","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}

Therefore, to fill this void, this study was conducted to identify the reflection of EFL pre-service teachers during teaching practice at schools. In practicing teaching, pre-service teachers face several challenges such as factors that influence the success of prospective teachers in teaching practice, lack of evaluation, and problem-solving in the classrooms with students. Therefore, through this research, the researchers try to examine the reflective teaching practice of an EFL pre-service teacher. This is a qualitative study using thematic analysis to analyse the data. The data were gathered from interviews and teaching journals. The finding shows that during the teaching practice, the participant’s experiences were reflected through five dimensions, i.e., philosophy, principles, theory, practice, and beyond practice. Overall, the results show that the participant’s beyond reflection remained the same with what she did in practice, and the themes that have been revealed from her reflections including the need to do a lot of preparation, having a variety of alternatives to minimize problems in the classroom, and the importance of students' success in understanding the material. The findings, therefore, are expected to provide insight to other EFL pre-service teachers to have reflective practices while conducting teaching practice.","PeriodicalId":395606,"journal":{"name":"ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"259 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131798417","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}
