Desain penelitian kualitatif, khususnya analisis isi buku teks digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Pemeriksaan obyektif terhadap isi data teks dengan menggunakan proses pengkodean sistematis untuk mengidentifikasi tema atau pola adalah metode penelitian yang dikenal dengan analisis isi kualitatif (Hsieh dan Shannon, 2005, p. 1278). Sumber data primer penelitian ini adalah buku teks bahasa Inggris sekolah menengah pertama untuk siswa kelas sembilan yang disebut Bahasa Inggris Interaktif. Peneliti menggunakan kategori yang sudah ada untuk menganalisis data, termasuk makanan dan minuman, lokasi, seni, upacara, perilaku sosial, kepercayaan dan nilai, sejarah, dan individu. Kategori-kategori ini dikembangkan oleh Adoskou, Moran, Dweik, dan Al-Sayed pada tahun 1990, 2001, dan 2015. Data tekstual dan visual diperiksa berdasarkan kategori budaya sumber, budaya target, dan budaya dunia. Berdasarkan temuan, budaya sumber lebih sering ditampilkan dibandingkan budaya target dan budaya lain. Tampak dalam 6 kategori, artinya ada 2 kategori yang tidak menyajikan budaya sumber, yaitu; kategori kepercayaan dan nilai serta seni. Namun budaya sumber tidak mendominasi pada masing-masing kategori, namun secara persentase merupakan budaya yang paling tinggi persentasenya (41,7%), budaya internasional sebesar 36,1%, dan budaya sasaran sebesar 22,2%. Budaya sumber juga tampaknya menjadi kategori yang paling lazim dalam buku teks interaktif bahasa Inggris, dengan sejumlah besar entri dalam berbagai kategori, diikuti oleh budaya target dan budaya internasional. AbstractThe aims are to analyze the culture categories and get the most dominant category presented in the textbook.  Qualitative research design, specifically content analysis of textbooks is employed in the study. The objective examination of the text data's content using a systematic coding process to identify themes or patterns is a research method known as qualitative content analysis (Hsieh and Shannon, 2005, p. 1278). The primary data source for this study is a junior high school English textbook for ninth graders called Interactive English. The researcher employs established categories to analyze the data, including food and drink, locations, art, ceremonies, social behavior, beliefs and values, history, and individuals. These categories were developed by Adoskou, Moran, Dweik, and Al-Sayed in 1990, 2001, and 2015. The textual and visual data are examined based on the cultural categories of source culture, target culture, and worldwide culture. According to the findings, source cultures are shown more frequently than target and other cultures.  It appears in 6 categories, which means that there are 2 categories that do not serve the source culture, namely; belief and value and arts categories.

Consequently, the objective of this research is to assess whether a significant disparity exists in vocabulary improvement between two Junior High School classes when using the Participatory Approach and Memrise. The research methodology applied here is quantitative, utilizing a comparative design comprising pre-tests and post-tests. Both classes are under the instruction of the same teacher (the researcher), but they employ different teaching methods. The 7A class is instructed through the participatory approach combined with the Memrise application, while the other class is taught using the conventional homeroom teacher method. Notably, both classes demonstrated improved vocabulary, but the 7A class exhibited a notably higher level of enhancement compared to the 7B class. Moreover, the results indicate a significant discrepancy in vocabulary enhancement between students taught using the participatory approach and the Memrise application versus other methods  which is shown through the average increase of the 7A class is 90% and the average increase of the 7B class is 39%.

The study utilized a quantitative approach by employing a questionnaire to collect data from a group of 116 undergraduate students in their seventh semester. The questionnaire was designed to identify students' perspectives on video conference-based English courses, focusing on aspects such as course benefits and identified drawbacks. The study found that the participants positively perceived video conference-based English courses. The participants agreed that the courses offered several benefits, including increased flexibility, reduced cost and reduced commuting time. However, participants also highlighted drawbacks related to technical challenges and reduced opportunities for face-to-face interaction. These results underline the adaptability of higher education in response to the video conference-based courses serving as a viable alternative to traditional in-person instruction. This study has implications for both educational policymakers and teachers. By recognizing the perceived benefits and drawbacks, Policymakers may consider the possibilities of developing regulations that encourage the integration of technology and remote learning into the broader curriculum. Furthermore, educators can refine their instructional strategies to align more closely with students' preferences and needs, ultimately enhancing the quality of remote education.","PeriodicalId":432026,"journal":{"name":"TELL-US JOURNAL","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140506286","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}

Without it, effective communication in targeted domains cannot be achieved. Since ESP is linked to their field of study it presupposes that student chose to be extra curious in comprehending issues related to their domain of study or work, which should have a connection between components and English skills. This study examines students' requirements for learning English for specific purposes, encompassing their needs, preferences, and areas of deficiency, with a focus on multidimensional learning needs. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. This study employed several techniques to collect data, including conducting interviews with students enrolled in English for Business Management (ESP) courses during their second semester. The results of this research were analyzed using Hutchinson and Waters (1987) theory of needs analysis. Researchers found that students have a high need to learn English; they desire to improve their speaking skills for work, but there is a gap between their current proficiency level and what they need.   It is highly recommended for students who are planning to pursue a degree in management studies to possess an intermediate level of proficiency in the English language before starting their academic journey. Therefore, it is advisable for students in the management study program to have at least an intermediate level of English proficiency before commencing their studies. This strategy ensures their ability to address their English learning requirements effectively.","PeriodicalId":432026,"journal":{"name":"TELL-US JOURNAL","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140505730","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}

Grounded in a qualitative case study with interviews and classroom observations, an experienced English teacher with more than 10 years of teaching speaking in English participated in the study. The results of the study indicated that the teacher paid more attention to fluency and gave practical speaking tips when the students encountered communication breakdowns. Further, the teacher generally practiced her belief in the classroom, even though she encountered some discrepancies. It was due to some students’ factors including students’ language proficiency and their affective factors. Therefore, it is essential for EFL teachers to systematically and regularly monitor the relations between their beliefs and practices through reflective practices in order to improve their everyday practice of teaching speaking in particular. It is further suggested that teachers get engaged in some reflective practices to bridge their beliefs and teaching practices and find out how the reflection can benefit their beliefs and instructional decisions. ","PeriodicalId":432026,"journal":{"name":"TELL-US JOURNAL","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140505877","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 study compares a model narrative text from a coursebook with a student narrative text utilizing the transitivity system. The example student imitated the model text when writing her narrative. The analysis results show that despite the similarity of both texts that employ material processes at most in their stories, the student’s text involves more mental processes as the author expresses her mental states throughout the story. This might be caused by two possibilities: (1) The author of the model text uses many subtexts (Seger, 2011) and focuses more on the material process to give the readers an opportunity to interpret the participants' mental states in the story, while the author of the student text has not cognitively reached the use of subtext in a story as she is still a young learner and still in the early developmental phase. Or (2) the author of the student text tries to make the story more personal to engage with the reader as closely as possible. However, as the model text fulfills the social function, generic structure, lexico-grammatical, and experiential process, it influences the sample student's ability to compose a representative narrative text in general. Lastly, these results suggest that EFL teachers should examine the sample text before distributing it to students as a model text and conduct the teaching-learning process with the right genre-based approach stages.","PeriodicalId":432026,"journal":{"name":"TELL-US JOURNAL","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140506654","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}
