Conversely, many scholars or researchers in the study of gender representation portrayed English language textbooks tend to have gender-biased in terms of gender representation in which males are represented more than females in many aspects. Hence, investigating how males and females are represented in Indonesian EFL textbooks is highly beneficial to be explored to clarify and update the finding based on the previous studies. The concern of this current study is to investigate gender representation in the Indonesian EFL textbook for vocational school students by using the framework proposed by (Amerian & Esmaili, 2014). The analysis of the data is based on critical discourse analysis and content analysis. Surprisingly, congruent with most previous studies, the finding reflects that there is inequality in terms of gender representation in which females are underrepresented in the textbook. The finding of this recent study pinpoints the depiction of how males and females are represented and depicted in the Indonesian EFL textbook, as a result, it is expected to convey the awareness of scholars, educators, textbook writers or designers, and policymakers as well related to this issue. Then, it is still highly suggested for scholars or researchers in future studies exploring gender representation in Indonesian EFL textbooks by using other books or other levels of education to evaluate the development of this issue.","PeriodicalId":395606,"journal":{"name":"ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"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":"133215629","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}

Since there have been no studies related to CS in the Island Garden City of Samal, the researchers are urged to conduct this kind of research. In addition to this, the researchers also want to know the role of CS in the academe since English language proficiency is highly necessary especially in an English classroom. The participants of this study are from UM Peñaplata College, specifically the Grade 11 Senior High School students. Among the 78 respondents, there were 67 purposively selected which were subjected to Textual Analysis. Analysis revealed four most common code-switching words committed in impromptu speeches. These are ahm, ah, kanang, and ay. The types of these code-switching words are intersentential, intra-sentential, intra-word, and tag-switching. Also, the functions of these code-switched words are fillers, hesitations, discourse markers, literary translation, and repetition of words. With these, language educators should continuously find strategies to suit the ever-changing nature of the curriculum and handle the weakness evident in the teaching of the English language.","PeriodicalId":395606,"journal":{"name":"ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"46 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":"130866380","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}

One way to encourage reflective practice for EFL teachers is to form an online academic group. The current study examines how the discussion in an online academic writing for publication group promotes reflective thinking. This study involved two EFL teachers who participated and learned academic writing in a weekly online meeting on WhatsApp to reflect on their study. The online group discussion was recorded and coded according to the topics they talked about in the group. The topics served as a measure of critical reflectivity. Findings indicated that the EFL teachers talked over and studied academic writing in terms of how to prepare an eligible manuscript for international publication. They also discussed the problems or issues they encountered during writing a research article for publication. The issues were concerned with the research topics, writing an introduction section, difficulties in reporting the research method and procedure, and the use of academic words in their writing, to mention a few. Those issues have an implication to the difficulty in preparing an eligible manuscript and in publishing their articles This study calls for further initiations to develop reflective practice of Indonesian EFL lecturers through a series of intensive academic writing for publication purposes workshops. The foci of the workshops can address the issues on developing each section of the research article or selecting academic words suitable for writing the paper so that the process of undergoing the international publication can be less demanding.","PeriodicalId":395606,"journal":{"name":"ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"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":"130003123","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}

Since various methods, approaches, and technologies are involved, it is important to understand students’ perceptions for taking further decision in teaching. The current research aimed to investigate Indonesian students’ perceptions of the implementation of bichronous online learning along with the challenges in the level of higher education. Bichronous online learning refers to the blending between asynchronous and synchronous online learning. In this study, asynchronous learning was carried out through Edmodo while the synchronous mode was implemented via Zoom. The participants were 57 first-year university students who experienced full bichronous online learning in the English for Specific Purposes class. This research applied explanatory sequential mixed-methods as suggested by Creswell (2014). The quantitative data were obtained by Likert-scale questionnaires while the qualitative data were acquired through interviews and observations. The results indicated that students had positive perceptions of bichronous online learning in terms of motivations, academic achievement, and communication and interactions. Bichronous online learning promoted students’ engagement, active interaction, and feedback exchange which highly contributed to their learning outcome. However, technical issues such as poor internet connection and limited data plan were the biggest challenges faced by the students. It is expected that educators can adjust which online learning tools are convenient to use and cater to students’ needs.","PeriodicalId":395606,"journal":{"name":"ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"226 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130807817","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}

In this sense, the phonetic differences between Spanish and English are one of the reasons why it is difficult to develop listening skills for Spanish native speakers. Thus, in this research, a didactic strategy based on common audio and video platforms was designed in order to improve this ability in a sample of students. The sample was selected at convenience and consisted of fifteen students from an English intermediate course. The strategy was divided into three parts: a diagnostic test to demonstrate the level of listening; learning activities; and an exit test. A descriptive study was conducted. The obtained results showed students’ progressive improvement in pragmatics, understanding, and intonation. In addition, the results indicated that the use of alternative methods, mediated by new technologies, seems to be equal or more effective than traditional teaching and a better learning of English is perceived by using remote strategies than in face-to-face ones.","PeriodicalId":395606,"journal":{"name":"ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128661821","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, most students still experience challenges when communicating with their instructors in written form, especially first-year university students. Henceforth, this study aimed to understand the written communication challenges of freshman Bachelor of Arts in Communication (BACOM) students of S.Y. 2020-2021. Specifically, the study intended to determine the challenges encountered by the participants in written correspondence with their instructors in terms of online learning, the consequences of the challenges identified, and the ways to improve written communication between the participants and their instructors. This qualitative study used Hermeneutic Phenomenology in one state university in Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines. Data was gathered through an online focus group interview which was analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis. Findings of the study show that the major challenges endured by the students are uncertainty, sensitivity, comprehension deficit, poor internet connection, and grammar inaccuracies. As a result of these difficulties, the outcomes identified by the students are delayed inquiries, poor performance, low self-esteem, and a communication gap. Based on the students' suggestions, effective written communication can be improved between instructors and students by employing empathy, online etiquette, systematized platform, initiative, feedback, cooperation, clarity of instructions, clarity of concerns, and open communication. Chiefly, this study demonstrates that both students and instructors should be aware of their respective roles and duties to establish healthy, productive, and effective learning and communication now that the learning system has shifted online.","PeriodicalId":395606,"journal":{"name":"ELT Forum: Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125423691","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 MALL for translation usage is gradually established for EFL students because of the development of ICT. However, the research that discussed this issue is still far on the ground. This research is conducted to fill this void. There are four concerns to consider namely 1) MALL in improving students’ translation skills, 2) Students’ way of translating technical terms 3) The most translation strategy applied by the students to translate the technical terms (4) Challenges faced by students when translating the technical terms from English into Indonesian by using MALL. This research was carried out with a qualitative method. The data were taken from both an online survey and a semi-structured interview. The findings revealed that the students were helpful to use Language Translator (LT) for translating technical terms, especially in determining word choice. They selected three strategies for translating technical terms, i.e. translation by definition, literal translation, and borrowing. The strategy that the students used was a translation by definition. The challenge that they faced when using MALL was primarily regarding guidance availability.
