Do the National English journals provide clear research gaps? An analysis of published journals
Get PDFThis study provides a critical review of the nationally published journals, especially in highlighting the research gaps. This focus of the study comes from our interest that there is a policy that obligates lecturers and students to publish a journal article in nationally or internationally indexed journal outlets. This puts so much pressure on them in the academic sector (Arsyad & Adila, 2017). The result of this study will help further researchers in writing their research gaps. We adopt document analysis (Hatch, 2002; Merriam & Tisdell, 2016) and theme-rheme analysis to reveal the structure of paragraphs and sentences in the introduction section, especially in deciding the research gap. We analyzed one English-published journal that is indexed in Sinta 1, Sinta 2, Sinta 3, Sinta 4, Sinta 5, and Sinta 6. Findings show that the journals mention the research gap in the introductory paragraph. However, the structural quality needs significant improvement. We suggest to the authors of the journals, editors, and further researchers or practitioners to have a good understanding of how to craft a good introductory paragraph and follow the ethics of doing research. We suggest that further research focus on providing insight into teaching writing for scholarly publicatio
Translanguaging as a Counter-Narrative in EFL Practice
Get PDFWhile concerns over inequalities of multilingualism – a real phenomenon in multilingual countries due to the positive attitudes toward English as a global language – should not be overlooked, there are occasions especially in a classroom context where multilingual speakers defy the exclusive use of English, and instead creatively mix the English language with their own mother tongues, resulting in translingual Englishes (Dovchin, Sultana & Pennycook, 2016). In this paper, I will show that despite the strict imposition of the English-only-policy in schools in Indonesia – a source of inequalities in learning and teaching in the country – both students and teachers manage to surreptitiously translanguage their interactions using varied linguistic codes for achieving successful communication in a class interaction. I see their translingual Englishes as a strategic practice initiated by the teachers to not only open up a space for them to reveal their real multilingual identities, but also to legitimize these identities. Finally, in teacher-dominated classrooms where students often keep silent and are unwilling to initiate a conversation and to argue over a controversial issue, translanguaging is a pedagogically useful practice for encouraging students to negotiate tensions that might occur in their effort to grapple with their learning of English. Thus, a focus on the ‘unequal’ in the classroom also leads to uncovering translingual spaces where efficient teaching and learning are facilitated, and multilingual identities affirmed

Culture Shock in Higher Education: Experiences of Freshmen in Two English Education Departments
Get PDFThe transition from high schooling to higher education often triggers culture shock among newcomers, particularly those majoring in English education. This study aims to investigate the nature of culture shock experienced by freshmen majoring in English and their coping mechanisms. The study includes four participants—two males and two females—from the English Education Department of two different universities in Pekalongan. Employing a narrative approach, the research unveiled five categories of culture shock: course load, teaching methodologies, learning resources, assignment frequency, and self-confidence. The study also found eight strategies employed by these students to navigate culture shock: personalized learning approaches, embracing mistakes confidently, seeking guidance from seniors, practicing self-disclosure, approaching lecturers for assistance, understanding the education system, refraining from comparisons with peers, and fostering relationships and friendships. These findings offer valuable insights to assist new students in mitigating negative culture shock, while pursuing their English studies. However, due to the contextual limitations, which many not apply to other educational settings, future studies should explore diverse academic backgrounds
Indonesian Mid-Career EFL Teachers’ Depersonalization and its Impact on Their Well-Being: A Narrative Inquiry
Get PDFWell-being is an important aspect for EFL teachers that indicate their psychological and physical wellness state both in their professional and personal life. However, depersonalization that contextually happened in the workplace can negatively affect how they teach and work in the school, causing the feeling of indifference and threatening their well-being in return. On the other hand, depersonalization has been reported to be a contagion to other people, further exposing other colleagues to experiencing and feeling burned out. Questions emerged from this phenomenon, that is, how Indonesian mid-career EFL teachers’ depersonalization affects their motivation and how they employ the coping strategy to sustain motivational well-being. Using a narrative inquiry methodological approach, this study explores this phenomenon through a narrative frame with three Indonesian mid-career EFL teachers. Extensive thematic analysis showcased that Indonesian mid-career EFL teachers experienced depersonalization originating from poor colleague work ethics and inadequate leadership, causing their motivation well-being to plummet. However, the depersonalization was overshadowed by their respective sources of motivation to work as an EFL teacher. Strategies to mitigate such depersonalization were reported to be: (1) involving oneself in continuing professional development, (2) spiritual reflection, and (3) recreational rest. The study implies an indication that contextual factors such as organizational scholarship and interpersonal-collegial relationships are playing a critical role in shaping EFL teachers’ overall well-being
