This research is aimed at empowering the pedagogical skills, autonomous learning, and 21 st century learning skills of the teacher candidates through a continuous clinical supervision model of teaching practices during Microteaching Class at an education university in North Bali. The study was in the form of embedded mixed method design, and implemented towards Microteaching classes of English Education Students in 2018. The data was collected using observations, questionnaires and also through tests, and analyzed qualitatively as well as quantitatively.The results of the study showed that there are obvious differences between the teacher candidates' performances before and after the implementation. Their pedagogical skills and self-directed learning improved satisfactorily. The continuous clinical supervision models applied and actions provided during the teaching practices improved the pedagogical skills, self-directness and 21 st century learning skills of the teacher candidates. With the improved skills, it is expected that they will become more skilled future teachers of the 21 st century generation.
The general objective pursued is to describe and to relate the students’ reading anxiety, reading self-efficacy to their reading competency in the Vocational High School in Singaraja. The design applied is a quantitative research. There were 90 students recruited using cluster quota sampling. The data were gathered using scales and reading test. The obtained data were analyzed in two phases: descriptively and inferentially. Whereas inferentially, the data were analyzed using pair-wise correlation and multiple correlation technique. The findings show that: 1) the students’ reading anxiety is at high level while reading self-efficacy and reading competency are at the low levels; 2) the relations pair-wisely are negative and positive significantly correlated; and 3) the simultaneous or multiple relationships of the reading anxiety and reading self-efficacy to the students’ reading competency is proven to be significant ( =0.81; α =0.01).
Covid-19 pandemic is a situation that has impacted people’s life and all sectors especially Education. This pandemic situation forced the restrictions to do online learning in the teaching activities, including English learning in giving English Online Tasks. It raises pro contra between the implementation of online learning. The study aimed to find out the development of English Online Tasks and integrate those tasks in Online Learning Platforms. The study employed qualitative approach with interview and observation method. The sample of this study is one English teacher from SMA Negeri 4 Singaraja. The results showed that the English teacher has a lot of tasks during online learning in 1 semester. In developing English Online Tasks, the teacher has many methods. These tasks are integrated into several Online Learning Platforms. Therefore, it is suggested for the government to use this result as a reference to evaluate the online learning specifically in giving English Online Tasks for senior high school students.
The purpose of this research was to observe two processes: 1) developing online reading tasks; and 2) integrating those tasks into online learning platforms. This research employs a descriptive qualitative design. The subject of this study was English teacher at SMAS Laboratorium Undiksha Singaraja. The data was gathered through observation and an interview guide. The data collection procedure began with an online observation and an interview. The data were analyzed according to Miles and Huberman's (2002) framework of analysis, which includes data collection, data reduction, data visualization, and conclusion drawing. The study's findings indicated that 1) activities were used to develop reading tasks using online learning platforms; 2) teacher used five platforms to develop online reading tasks, including WhatsApp, Google Classroom, Youtube, Kahoot, and Quizizz; and 3) the use of online platforms to develop tasks motivates students to learn, increases students' interest in learning, and assists students in learning technology. The implication of this research is that utilizing online platforms to develop tasks benefits students' ability to learn technology
Among the four pivotal skills, speaking signifies part of the most essential skill because its role primarily serves as a means of communication. Speaking is an interactive process of developing, creating, constructing and delivering meaning with goal of information exchanges between speaker and hearer. some students still faced some problems to communicate in English. Many students did not show their readiness in speaking English spontaneously. This study aimed at investigating the significant effect of debate technique on students’ speaking competency, this quasi-experimental research employed 70 student participants from two social science classes, who were randomly assigned to the experimental condition and to the control condition. The instruments used for collecting the data were performance of speaking test and rubric for students’ speaking assessment. The data were analysed by using descriptive and inferential analyses. The result of this study shows that the mean score of experimental group is 79.79, while the mean score of control group is 75.25. The result of t test shows that the value of Sig. (2-tailed) is .000, which indicates a significant mean different. Therefore, this study concludes that debate technique affects students’ speaking competency. In addition to it, the contribution to the teaching of speaking as well as implications for future research are also discussed.

In developing students’ writing competency, teacher’s strategy and engagement in writing process is very crucial. The strategy of teaching writing should not only focus on language aspects but also should help the students in developing their critical thinking and problem solving skill. The current study investigated the effect of midful learning on students’ writing comptency. This study was an experiment study with posttest only control group design. 71 EFL students were involved in this study. In collecting the data,this study used writing competency test and rubric for assessing. The collected data were analzyed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The result of descprtive statistics showed that the mean score of writing competency of experiment group (82.25) was higher than the control group (78.67). A significant mean difference is identified from the result of t test (Sig. .005.) The result of effect size test showed a medium effec (.68) t. Thus, it can be concluded that mindful learning significantly affects students’ writing competency. Discussions and suggestions are further presented.
