OPTIMALISASI PEMANFAATAN TEKNOLOGI AUDIO-VISUAL DALAM KOMPETENSI KOMUNIKASI BAHASA INGGRIS
Full text linkAdaptasi para praktisi pendidikan merupakan haluan strategis dalam mendorong eksistensi profesi dan ketercapaian kompetensi peserta didiknya. Esensi sikap adaptif tersebut tentu bermuara pada ketercapaian kompetensi yang diinginkan. Ketika instruktur pembelajaran menampilkan konsep ketercapaian kompetensi maka reformasi pembelajaran yang ditawarkan kepadanya menjadi opsi yang mutlak tak terkecuali instruktur pemelajaran bahasa Inggris. Menampilkan kompetensi komunikatif yang proporsional merupakan orientasi dari pembelajaran bahasa Inggris pada era sekarang. Proporsionalitas kompetensi komunikatif dalam suatu tuturan merupakan tuntutan mutlak bagi setiap penutur dalam kegiatan berbahasa dalam pelbagai situasi. Representasi tersebut merupakan citra identitas personal dalam menampilkan satuan lingual secara berterima dalam suatu komunitas bahasa tertentu. Setiap leksikon yang diujarkan dapat menuntun mitra tuturnya memahami pelbagai intensi yang ada dalam benak sang penutur. Namun, menampilkan semua komponen-komponen mikro dan makro dalam suatu ujaran perlu didukung oleh media yang tepat. Menemukan celah yang tepat antara competence dan performance dalam suatu kompetensi komunikatif perlu ditopang oleh sikap adaptif dari sang penutur terhadap komponen-komponen yang diperlukan dalam suatu tindak tutur yang dimaksud (Menggo, 2017: 110). Makalah ini bertujuan untuk mengungkapkan fenomena optimalisasi penggunaan teknologi audio-visual pada ketercapaian kompetensi komunikatif bahasa Inggris. Media audio-visual merupakan suatu “kehausan akut" dalam menopang ketercapaian kompetensi komunikatif bahasa Inggris yang dimaksud. Teknologi ini sebagai mesin penggerak cerdas dan daya penyimbang yang mumpuni dalam menstimulasi gairah warga belajar dalam memproduksi ujaran secara berterima. Setiap penutur dapat memperoleh asesmen kompetensi komunikatif yang lebih komprehensif serta bermuara pada ekspektasi akan ada feedback dari asesmen yang diberikan dengan mengandalkan asas objektivitas yang tinggi. Penutur diarahkan untuk mereffleksikan kadar proporsionalitas tersebut baik komponen mikro (akurasi pelafalan, kelancaran, sintaksis, vokabulari, dan kemampuan menginterpretasi pesan) maupun komponen makronya (ketepatan konteks dan kompetensi strategi

Problem-based learning analysis in strengthening college students’ interpersonal communication skill
Full text linkThis study seeks to analyse the incorporation of problem-based learning (PBL) in strengthening students' interpersonal communication skills, as well as the level of proficiency of students' interpersonal communication skills and the obstacles they face in acquiring them. This study was a crosssectional survey conducted in May 2023 with 315 college students enrolled in six English Study Programs at six universities in three Indonesian provinces. The questionnaires and interviews were used for recording data, which was then analysed using Jeffreys's amazing statistics program (JASP). Based on the data collected, it can be shown that the interpersonal communication profiles of 315 participants can be classified as falling within the medium category (average score=3.26). The primary challenge encountered by participants in developing their interpersonal communication skills is attributed to difficulties arising from the accent of their conversation partner, as indicated by a mean score of 4.6. The result mandates that educators provide an appropriate and effective learning method. PBL is an effective alternative as its principles, syntax, implementation stages, orientation, and benefits are capable of helping students overcome interpersonal communication challenges. PBL model is intended to provide students with the skills needed for problem-solving, increasing logical thinking, collaboration, and communication

EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF BLENDED LEARNING IN INDONESIAN EFL CLASS
Full text linkBlended learning requires digital technology transformation for lecturers and students, up-to-date teaching methods, flexible learning processes, the effectiveness of time, space, budget, learning motivation, learning autonomy, all of which contribute to improving student learning achievement. However, current empirical research results do not support the claim that blended learning improves students' English proficiency and learning autonomy. Evidence shows that the blended learning has an effect on students' English competence, learning autonomy, motivation, and ICT literacy. For this article, the effect of blended learning in ESL/EFL was investigated and defined. This study is a quantitative explanatory research type with a pre-test and post-test design. The research participants were 198 students from the Elementary Education Study Program of Universitas Katolik Indonesia Santu Paulus Ruteng. Seventy-four participants were chosen as samples using a random sampling method. Data was taken by test and non-test, and data was then analyzed by a software program called SPSS 22.0. Twelve blended learning sessions, including six sessions in face-to-face settings and six sessions, are done virtually through the Zoom application. The results show that blended learning strengthens English student competence (the mean score on the post-test = 82.57), learning autonomy (88.57%), learning motivation (80%), and ICT literacy (71.43%)

This study focuses on Denpasar's several locations, where most of the language interaction occurred, and data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Those data were analyzed by using a software program, namely an excel chart data series. The research subjects were both older and younger Sumbawanese speakers. An analysis of language attitudes also considered the roles of language choice and language change in maintaining cultural diversity and ethnic identity, which will psychologically provide a feeling of assurance in personal linguistic competence. In Sumbawanese speakers, the context of communicating in Balinese society will be thoroughly considered. The findings show that speakers of Sumbawa language have good competence towards Sumbawa language, rarely use Sumbawa language, and have more positive than negative attitudes towards their language. Speakers are stimulated to maintain the frequency of language use and their positive language attitudes to be competent intercultural speakers.

Think-Aloud Protocol Analysis: Revealing The Student's Problem in Reading Comprehension
No full textReaders should integrate information from the text they are reading with their existing knowledge since reading is a process of building meaning and language expansion. Without improving reading abilities, it is hard to succeed in the teaching and learning process and develop a more thorough understanding, a perceptive attitude, and creative thinking to reach reading achievement. The purpose of this study is to outline the issues that cropped up while reading. In this descriptive-qualitative study, the researchers identified, analyzed, and characterized the readers' mental processes for reading comprehension. Thirty students were taken randomly from three classes enrolled in the Intermediate Reading Course of the English Language Education Study Program, Universitas Mahasaraswati Denpasar. The finding showed that the students encountered four main problems: Inability to understand word, phrase, and sentence processing (78.1%); having weak syntactic parsing (83.3%), less inference (81.7), and inadequate self-monitoring (84%). The reading lecturers are suggested to determine the student’s reading comprehension needs and employ relevant tips in the reading course, such as creating good connections, making predictions, visualizing, making inferences, self-questioning, and summarizing. The results are expected to give a useful contribution to strengthen reading theory and the lecturers in analyzing students’ reading comprehension problems

Cultural-linguistic theory by Sharifin (2021) was utilized to find out if Malakan ethnic song verses include cultural features. This descriptive-qualitative study method used observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and Focus Group Discussions with 40 participants from eight communities from July to September 2023. The findings indicate that the auditory elements of lyrics, words, phrases, and clauses serve as a means of conveying the cultural values of the Malakan people when singing four traditional songs as a component of their daily lives. In addition, several values were derived from the meaning of the four-song lyrics, including patience, responsibility, commitment, resilience, harmony, togetherness, sacrifice, empathy, and sympathy, which ultimately serve as a reference for human behavior in the Malakan community. The findings suggest that storing traditional artworks linked to poetry and musical works is advisable. Through the utilization of poetry and musical compositions, people could find cultural components that can be reused as indigenous content for the study of cultural arts and local languages
