TRANSLANGUAGING IN EFL CLASSROOM AND ITS IMPACT ON STUDENT'S PERFORMANCE AT A SECONDARY SCHOOL LEVEL: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Get PDFTranslanguaging is a phenomenon of language use
where people are bilingual or multilingual.
Translanguaging occurs in the community and schools,
both in rural and urban areas. At the Indonesian
secondary school level, learning English as a foreign
language (EFL), teachers and students at schools use the
target language (English) and the Indonesian language as
the official language in the education system. But, local
languages also occur and are used in schools for the
students who have their local language, including in
rural schools. This article uses the literature review
method to analyze translanguaging (Indonesian
language, local language, and English) in EFL
classrooms at schools and its effects. The author collects
several national and international journals. The journal
was compiled purposively, which related to
translanguaging at schools. The literature review found
that translanguaging in the EFL classroom influences
students' performance with multilingual backgrounds
(Indonesian language, local languages, and English).
Therefore, Translanguaging-based instruction is
considered good if applied to learning English as
Foreign Language (EFL)

Penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasi-ekperimen. Populasi penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Universitas Dayanu Ihksanuddin Baubau pada tahun akadimik 2015/2016 yang akan sedang selesai mengambil mata kuliah membaca III. Penelitian ini menggunakan sampel kelompok yang terdiri dari kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol. Kelas eksperimen diberikan pengajaran membaca dengan menggunakan strategi membaca ekstensif sedangkan kelas kontrol menggunakan metode pengajaran biasa. Data penelitian ini dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan tes kemampuan pemahaman membaca sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan proses pengajaran reading dan angket. Data yang telah diperoleh dianalisa menggunakan SPPS versi 20.
Dari hasil analisi data pada kelas ekperimen, diketahui bahwa nilai rata-rata pada test awal untuk pemahaman literal adalah 55.25 dan nilai tes akhir adalah 77.50, untuk tes awal pemahaman inferensial adalah 50.75 dan tes akhir adalah 67.75, untuk tes awal pemahaman kritis adalah 46.50 dan tes akhir adalah 60.75. Sedangkan pemahaman membaca secara keseluruhan pada tes awal adalah 53.84 dan nilai pada tes akhir adalah 68.49. Sementara nilai uji t pada kedua kelas ekperimen dan kontrol lebih kecil dari α (0.00<0.05). Ini berarti H0 ditolak dan H1 diterima. Sedangkan nilai rata-rata persepsi mahasiswa yang diperoleh melalui angket adalah 78.76. Hal ini menunjukan bahwa persepsi mahasiswa terhadap strategi membaca ektensif positif. Dari hasil penelitian diatas dapat disimpulkan bahwa membaca ekstensif dapat mempengaruhi peningkatan kemampuan pemahaman membaca mahasiswa secara literal, inferensial dan kritis serta mahasiwa mempunyai persepsi yang positif terhadap penggunaan strategi membaca ekstensif
The Golden Book of Business Presentation Skills: Quick and Easy Tips to Make Powerful Presentations
Get PDFThis book is not for generic business presentation tips. However, it provides several tried-and-tested presentation elements. It will help the presenter to enlighten, influence, and excite the audience. Each chapter is segmented into “Know†and “How†sections to help you grasp the idea and use it in your business presentation. This book will help you maximize your presentations to a group, relevant stakeholders, or a digital/online presentation. For example, learning to promote yourself professionally, amaze your audience, start, end, and transition your presentation. It also includes ideas on designing a presentation outline, practicing, and presenting. This book presents eight golden steps for delivering business presentations: 1) understanding the target audience’s viewpoints, 2) mastering the topic of the presentation, 3) outlining the presentation (e.g., topics, structure, rules), 4) summarizing the presentation, 5) handling the questions effectively and straightforwardly, 6) concluding the comments and responses effectively, and 7) using both verbal and non-verbal communications effectively during the presentation., and 8) the way forward, beyond this book. A business presentation must be well-prepared and consider ways to impress the audience (Sweeney, 2003). Moreover, a presenter must have an idea to map their mind to organize their talks during the presentation (Buzan & Abbott, 2006)
From Vocabulary Building to Cultural Literacy: Implementing Contextual Teaching and Learning in Resource-Limited EFL Classrooms
Get PDFThis study aims to explore the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach in teaching English in resource-constrained classrooms, with a focus on vocabulary development and cultural literacy. Using a multiple case study design with a qualitative approach, data was collected through semi-structured interviews with three lecturers at two educational institutions in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The findings show that the use of materials based on local wisdom, such as folklore and community history, significantly improves vocabulary acquisition, reading comprehension, and student motivation. In addition, CTL based on local contexts strengthens students' connections with teaching materials, enriches cultural literacy, and builds enthusiasm for learning. Despite resource limitations such as lack of access to technology and English language references, lecturers showed creativity in developing contextual teaching materials. This study contributes to filling the literature gap on local context-based language learning in a confined environment, as well as recommending the need for further research that expands population coverage and examines the long-term impact of the use of local materials in EFL teaching
Teaching English to EFL Students in A Culturally - Specific Context: A Comparative Case Study
Get PDFTeaching English in particular cultural contexts requires supporting skills, such as situating teaching strategies and learning material with students’ conditions and intercultural sensitivity. This study explores how the lecturers teach English to EFL Students in a culturally specific context. The design of this study used multiple case studies. This study's data collection uses semi-structured interviews through Zoom meetings with two English lecturers who taught English in Gorontalo and Papua. Then the data analysis used a thematic analysis. The findings of this study show that teaching English in Gorontalo and Papua needs some supporting competencies, such as intercultural competence (lecturers’ ability to adapt to the new culture and environment and understand how students behave, think, and interact) and pedagogical competence (lecturers’ ability in formulating, adapting, and negotiating appropriate teaching method and learning material with students need). The results of this study expand the discourse surrounding the instruction of English as a foreign language within culturally-specific contexts, highlighting the significance of multilingual education in the Indonesian context. Therefore, this study implies that lecturers who teach in a culturally different context should have those competencies so they are not culture shock
Teachers’ Perceptions and Experiences with Translanguaging Implementation in Rural EFL Classrooms: A Case Study from Indonesia
Get PDFThis study explores teachers\u27 perceptions and experiences implementing translanguaging strategies in rural English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms in south Buton, Indonesia. This research is a case study where the limit of this research is to focus on teacher perceptions and experiences in implementing translanguaging in English language learning in three secondary schools in rural areas in South Buton, Indonesia. The subjects of this research were three English teachers at three different schools in South Buton. This subject is expected to provide an overview of teachers\u27 perceptions and experiences in implementing translanguaging in some rural schools in an Indonesian context. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and class observation with three experienced EFL teachers at three rural junior high schools in South Buton. The findings reveal that teachers perceive translanguaging as effectively enhancing students\u27 learning comprehension, and the use of translanguaging can create inclusive and culturally responsive learning in EFL classrooms. The study highlights predominantly positive attitudes towards translanguaging, with teachers perceiving it as an effective tool for facilitating learning in linguistically diverse classrooms. Teachers report positive experiences, citing improved student understanding, increased engagement, and preservation of linguistic and cultural identities. The teachers\u27 experience actively incorporated translanguaging strategies, using code-switching between English, Indonesian, and the local Cia-Cia language to enhance student comprehension. While acknowledging challenges such as balancing multiple languages and potential impacts on English proficiency development, teachers remain confident in translanguaging\u27s effectiveness. This research is expected to contribute to the growing literature on translanguaging in EFL contexts and offer insights for educators in linguistically diverse settings
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
