Self-imaging activities were developed as the treatment with an aim of enhancing the motivation of the EFL learners. The participants were 60 low-motivated EFL learners, equally divided into experimental and control groups. They were asked to answer a pre-post 6-point Likert motivation questionnaire, but only the experimental group was provided 10 self-imaging activities. A dependent and an independent t-test were conducted to compare the mean scores, the level of motivation obtained from the pre-post motivation questionnaire within and between groups. In addition, the participants’ behaviors were scored and then converted through percentage to examine the motivational behaviors resulted from the treatment. The study revealed that after the self-imaging activities, the motivation of the experimental group was higher than before the activities and higher than the control group. This was consistent with the motivational behaviors. This study shed light on the development of classroom activities related to self-images to promote the motivation in learning English.

Analysis of Exchange Rate Fluctuation Using Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) From 2010 to 2015
Get PDFExchange rate in the last few years has been fluctuating highly. A number of variables were used in this research to analyze which variable has impact on exchange rate. The variables used were export, import, money supply and Bank Indonesia rate, for the period of January 2010 until September 2015, utilizing Vector error correction model or VECM estimation method. The results indicate that in the long-run, some variables such as import and money supply have significant correlations to ER with positive and negative impact respectively, while export and BI rate have no significant correlation to ER with negative and positive impact respectively. In the short-run, all variables bear significant influence on ER except money supply, whereas import, money supply and BI rate maintain a positive relationship with the ER. Meanwhile, export has a negative influence on ER. For impulse response and forecast error variance decomposition, the variable which induced the most shock to exchange rate was import.
