In this study, the writer as a teacher model, tried to explore: (1) the advantages and disadvantages of lesson study applied in a theoretical subject class; and (2) the effectiveness of it for students' learning outcomes. It was conducted in a class called Introduction to Linguistics with 30 students. There were four cycles and four colleagues who took part as the observers. In each cycle, she did PLAN, DO, and SEE. Then, descriptive analysis was used to elaborate teachers' professionalism and students' learning outcomes through observation sheets, discussion, and test. The result shows that there are some benefits, i.e. (1) the teacher can prepare her lesson plans and teaching media more carefully; (2) she can conduct her class more confidently and professionally; (3) she can get evaluation about her teaching process after her class ends; (4) the students can be more active and study more seriously; and(5) they can achieve better scores compared to other classes which don't use lesson study. However, there are also some disadvantages, e.g. (1) the teacher needs more time to prepare her lesson plans and teaching media; and (2) some students may feel depressed because of the observers' attendance.
The expected objectives of the results of this study are to obtain a concrete picture of students 'digital literacy mastery in the Transactional Conversation course and to find out the effect of students' digital literacy mastery on the quality of autonomous learning in the Transactional Conversation course. In particular, this study will examine theories on digital literacy and autonomous learning in the Transactional Conversation course. The approach to be applied in this research is interdisciplinary using qualitative methods. The research design used is a case study. The technique of collecting data uses participatory observation techniques, interviews, and document studies. The data validity technique used triangulation, which mainly consisted of source data triangulation, methodological triangulation, and theory triangulation. The results show that there is a relationship between digital literacy mastery and the quality of autonomous learning. The role of the lecturer as a facilitator invites students to have the courage to evaluate the quality of their own learning.
This study attempts to reveal the ideology and power expressed in the news text entitled “The burning scar: Inside the destruction of Asia’s last rainforest”. The data of this study were obtained from one of the most famous online Newspapers namely BBC. Whilst, in doing the critical analysis, systemic functional linguistics specifically the use of appraisal proposed by Martin and White (2005) was applied to find out the ideology as well as the power of the text. The findings show that there are three appraisal items found such as attitude, engagement, and graduation simultaneously. Affect is the most dominant appraisal found in the text. It represents the feelings of the people who live in Papua where their land has been destroyed by the world's largest exporter of palm oil from South Korea. Besides, they also criticize the Indonesian government which sold their land to the company without any notice to the tribe who live there. Then, engagement represents the tribe’s voices where they have to move from their land. The last is graduation which represents the tribe’s experience when they were kicked out from their land. Meanwhile, the ideology of the text is represented by the use of attitude consisting of affect, appreciation, and judgment. Furthermore, the power deals with the tribe’s tenor such as contact, status dan affect.
The purpose of this study was to report the findings of research conducted at the English Language and Literature Department of Universitas Negeri Semarang. This is a multi-year study funded by the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education as an effort to improve the students' speaking skill using online radio. This research uses Research and Development (RND) design by identifying students' speaking skills and developing radio models on campus. In the first year, the research focuses on introduction and development. The introduction consists of literature studies and needs surveys; while the development includes divergent, convergent, and final processes. Based on the findings of the research, it can be found that the use of English in the daily routine of students is 60.5% (never), 23.7% (always), 7.9% (sometimes), 5, 3% (rare) and 2.6% (often). Then, the students use English as a means of communication on campus 36.8% (often), 36.8% (sometimes), 15.8% (rare) and 10.5% (often). Meanwhile, this study also produced an online radio model. This product can be seen in englishb3.caster.fm. This online product is made by collaborating free available radio software called caster.fm and some material that includes 1) CPU & monitor, 2) cable, 3) microphone, and 4) mixer. This online radio product has also been supervised by Unit of Multimedia Development for Education and Culture (BPMPK), and used in speaking practices by English students.
