The Implementation of Hybrid Learning Approach in English for Business Communication in Indonesian Vocational Higher Education
No full textThis article investigates the implementation of hybrid learning in Business Communication at the vocational education level. The study adopts a virtual case study approach utilizing digital narrative inquiry to collect data on teachers' strategies for hybrid learning aimed at enhancing students' business communication performance. Findings reveal that one teacher successfully developed a self-initiated hybrid learning model during explorations in this field. The teacher integrated traditional instruction with diverse online platforms likeMoodle, web-cloud video conferencing, Google Classroom, and social media platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp to teach English for business communication. In contrast, other teachers demonstrated limited implementation of hybrid learning. Notably, the level of hybrid learning implementation was significantly linked to students' business English performance outcomes. Greaterutilization of hybrid learning strategies correlated with improved student performance in business communication. The research carries implications for pedagogy, underscoring the significance of employing diverse hybrid learning strategies in English teaching.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
MATERI PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA INGGRIS BERBASIS INTERNET: SEBUAH PENELITIAN TINDAKAN PARTISIPATIF MELALUI PENDEKATAN MICRO-ETNOGRAFI
Full text linkELT in the era of digital technology has brought significant changes to the language learning interaction andteaching especially in the use and the development of materials. The internet is the biggest information data basewhich provides opportunities for EFL teachers to be used in the learning activities. Grounded in a microethnograpicparticipatory action research, this study explored the internet as the potential source of materials foreffective, interesting, and flexible learning. This research involved both teacher and student as the participantswho worked together in a small group and context to explore the internet as the corpus of languagematerials/resources. The research informed a design for the development of the internet-based materials as theresults of the meaning making process that involved a series of activities starting from the materials search,selection, development, and the use in the EFL classrooms. The activities brought contribution to the student’sparticipation, engagement, and cognition as they were directly exposed to a micro-reality context of languagelearning and material development. This study suggests that every student is an important agent of learningwhose voices and inputs are the significant factors determining the success of the language materialdevelopment
Teaching ESP: The English Lecturers' Communicative Activities in Business English Instructions
Full text linkThis corrigendum article focuses on enhancing the communicative competence of ESP learners using a wide range of tasks or activities. The target audience for this article is students enrolled in the Business Administration program at the State Polytechnic of Ujung Pandang. By carefully designing activities based on each student’s level and the standards they must meet, we facilitated them to connect with their classmates in the classroom and improve their speaking ability. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that students can improve their speaking skills by actively participating in the communicative activities that take place in the classroom. It was found that students were engaged in the activities and using the language when interacting with others in discussion sessions, group projects, and role-playing activities
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
