The WHO announced that more than 52 million people tested positive for Covid-19, and 1.2 million died in the second week of November 2020. Meanwhile, Indonesia recorded 463 thousand individuals with 15,148 deaths that were confirmed positive. Strategy against pandemics by incorporating socialization. However, learning that was initially bold as a technique became controversial due to the briefness of the adaptation process. a wide continuum of social reactions has resulted in the sudden transition from face-to-face learning to bold learning on a large scale. This research focuses on public opinion on online learning during the Indonesian COVID-19 pandemic in early November 2020. The analysis was carried out on Twitter by mining document-based text that was interpreted using the Naïve Bayes algorithm. The results show that online learning has a positive sentiment of 30 percent, a negative sentiment of 69 percent, and a neutral 1 percent over the period. Due to community dissatisfaction about online learning, a significant amount of negative sentiment is created. Some tweets indicate disappointment with the words' stress 'and' lazy 'in the conversation being high-frequency words.
Reading comprehension in the EFL context requires abilities not only linguistic competences but also reading strategies. The timely acquisition of this competence has a crucial effect for language learners. Unfortunately, most language learners in all level have low skills and high difficulties to acquire reading skills. This study aims to explore students’ abilities and difficulties in comprehending English reading texts as secondary level. This study is categorized as qualitative study consisting of three main data gathering methods: semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and group discussions. The data collected then are analyzed in stages, namely data condensation, data display, and data conclusion. Based on the result of analysis, this study showed that students have low reading achievement at secondary level. The low achievement is affected by some reading difficulties such as low reading exercises, unwilling to read out loud, low reading skills, low vocabulary, low phonemic awareness, low reading strategies, and low grammatical competence. For further studies, reading exercises and phonemic awareness in reading activities should be paid intention with giving students with various reading texts to train them comprehend EFL texts.
On 2 March 2020, the Indonesian government, through President Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo, announced the first two cases of COVID-19 in Indonesia. This is the first case of COVID-19 officially confirmed in that country. Several cases have continued to increase since then. President Jokowi began issuing policies on the spread of this virus. This is different from other countries, such as Malaysia and Singapore, which responded from the previous month when the Indonesian government still stated that coronavirus does not exist in Indonesia. Our case study is to find a public opinion through social network analysis of Indonesian public policy during the beginning of the Indonesian COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. This research implements text mining and document-based sentiments on Twitter data that is reprocessed through machine learning techniques using the Naïve Bayes method. We found negative opinions in the period more dominant by 46%, while that was 35% positive sentiment and 20% neutral. This research shows that anticipation, sadness, and anger are very dominant in the emotional analysis.
This research was aimed at finding out whether: (1) Contextual Teaching Learning has better effect than conventional method towards students speaking skill; (2) the students having low anxiety have better speaking skill than those who have high anxiety; and (3) there is an interaction between CTL and anxiety towards students speaking skill. This research was experimental study within quantitative approach. The total samples of this study were 66 students of tour and travel class of SMKN 2 Mataram that consist of two classes that determined by cluster random sampling technique. The instruments that were used to collect the data were test and questionnaire. The data was analyzed by using multifactor analysis of variance 2x2 and tuckey test. The result of this research revealed that the level of students anxiety that taught by CTL is lower than conventional, while students’ speaking skill score that taught by contextual method was higher than conventional method. The level of anxiety has significant effect toward students’ speaking skill. Therefore, it can be concluded that: 1) Contextual Teaching Learning method has better effect than Convetional method towards students speaking skill of the tour and travel students’ class of SMKN 2 Mataram; 2) The students who have low speaking anxiety have better speaking skill than those who have high speaking anxiety at the tour and travel students’ class of SMKN 2 Mataram; 3) There is an interaction between CTL and students’ anxiety towards students speaking skill of the tour and travel students’ class of SMKN 2 Mataram.
Written corrective feedback is essential in the teaching of writing skills to help prospective teacher enhance their writing performance. Lecturers try to apply strategies in committing written corrective feedback in fully online learning. In addition, written corrective feedback can improve learners’ metalinguistics, metacognition, teachers-learners interaction, and peer connection. Consequently, the present study will be aimed at investigating English lecturers’ common practices and strategies in committing online written corrective feedback during Covid-19 pandemic at higher education. This study is classified as a qualitative study which is a descriptive qualitative study. It is chosen because the data of this study relates to opinions or attitudes in the form of lecturers’ strategies in the teaching of writing skills and online corrective feedback. The data are elaborated in the form of words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs. To attain the data, researchers use interview technique. There are five English lecturers involved in the current study. The data are analyzed by using qualitative processes which are data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The novelty of this study lies on written feedback, written corrective feedback, and online written corrective feedback. Due to Covid-19 pandemic, the teaching-learning process is done in fully online learning.
