Simultaneous Roundtable is one of the strategies that are familiar to them. In particular, the Simultaneous Roundtable strategy is examined in this study in order to determine whether it is effective for writing English descriptive essays. Indonesian seventh graders were examined in this experiment. The experimental group applied the Simultaneous Roundtable strategy. The control group then received instruction using a teacher's feedback strategy. The Simultaneous Roundtable strategy was more effective than the traditional teacher feedback strategy for improving the students' descriptive writing skills. Simultaneous Roundtable, therefore, is recommended for EFL teachers to implement since it can be one of the practical teaching strategies that significantly improve students' descriptive writing skills and increase their interpersonal and social skills.","PeriodicalId":56238,"journal":{"name":"JEELS Journal of English Education and Linguistics Studies","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81143063","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 corpus is made up of 20 articles per news outlet which are GMA News, Manila Bulletin, Manila Times, Rappler, and Philippine Daily Inquirer from the Philippines. Politico, LA Times, The Guardian, USA Today, and CBN News from US. All news was contrastively analyzed based on Robert Kaplan’s Theory of Contrastive Rhetoric using AntConc software. The findings revealed that there are rhetorical devices found in these articles to filter the used labels for males and females that invoke stereotyping. Results also revealed that both countries are similar in terms of using positive and nice words subtly on describing women. However, a vast contradiction is also depicted due to the fact that news writers utilize words that negatively connote and has a sharp definition that is associated with women. Thus, the study concludes that there should be widespread information and practice about the usage of Gender Fair Language in various professions most especially in Media and Journalism.","PeriodicalId":56238,"journal":{"name":"JEELS Journal of English Education and Linguistics Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83195622","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 means that what may have been spoken may also imply a representation of ideologies, constructed realities, and an imitation of life. Language reconnoiters the speaker’s background and points toward the holistic overview of what is seen and felt in real socio-cultural engagements. Through the performance of language, the behavior of it is observed and may imply the proficiency of the student’s fluency in the verbal ability. With this, the researcher conducted an assessment of this linguistic performance in the classroom set-up during the synchronous class to determine the existing language attitude and problematize its sociolinguistic implication of it so that certain measures may be raised to improve the current classroom language management. This is anchored on Noam’s Chomsky’s Theory on Linguistic Performance which is referred to the production and comprehension of language use.
