English is a foreign language that must be taught at school, particularly in secondary school. Based on a preliminary observation of several secondary schools in Banjarmasin, it appears that the English taught focuses most on concepts or language formulas. Most of the students who interact in English during the learning process do not use expressions that contain linguistic politeness, as is required. The learning of linguistic politeness is not emphasized, while it is an effort to develop students' intelligent characters. This study primarily focuses on the investigation of teachers' linguistic politeness while interacting with the students, students' linguistic politeness, while interacting with the teachers, the students' linguistic politeness while interacting with their peers during the learning process in the classroom, how the teacher forms the students' linguistic politeness in the classroom, and how the linguistic politeness can develop students' intelligent characters. This study is one of classroom action research. Two cycles, in which each cycle consists of two meetings, are employed. After linguistic politeness is taught in four meetings through students' wheel and role play, it can be stated that during the English learning process in the classroom, the students have the opportunity to speak and practice linguistic politeness in English while interacting with their teachers and or other students. The forming of linguistic politeness in English can develop the students' intelligent characters from the beginning to the end of the learning activities. The students also become accustomed to employing polite vocabulary or expression in English that can improve their spiritual and emotional development, the aim of which is to lead to intelligence, primarily emotional intelligence.
Research shows online students are more likely to quit class if they do not like the instructor, the format, or the feedback. In addition, since they work independently, relying almost wholly upon self-motivation and self-direction, online learners may be more inclined to withdraw from the class if they do not get immediate results. In Indonesia, online learning is spot as deficient compared with face-to-face learning. It is notably due to the lack of social presence and lacks' of students satisfaction. However, little research has been done to investigate students' perception of online learning in Junior High School. This study describes students' perceptions of social presence and satisfaction by 9th grade at SMPN 3 Banjarmasin. The researcher conducted a qualitative approach with the descriptive method. The total number of respondents is 54 students. The researcher used online instruments which questionnaire and interview for collecting the data. The result in this study indicated that most students felt comfortable introducing themselves and communicating in an online environment. Furthermore, students are satisfied knowing that they can deepen the subject matter at home. Besides, students are not satisfied that they can understand the subject well in online learning. The finding was also found that student's willingness to take more online classes is strongly disagreed.
Online learning has been experienced by students worldwide with benefits and challenges. Even though previous research has been done on the unreadiness of teachers and students, their lack of technological skills, and their lack of autonomy in carrying online learning, more is needed to know about the washback effect of online learning from the perspective of learners. Thus, this research investigates students' assessment, learning outcomes, evaluation, and problems faced. This study described the English Language Education students’ view of the independent assessment, learning outcome, and evaluation of English online learning from the perspective of English Language Education students. The researchers employed a descriptive quantitative approach and a survey method to collect the data. This study included 100 participants using a purposive sampling technique. For data collection, the researchers employed a questionnaire with 33 questions sent via Google Forms and disseminated to WhatsApp groups and an interview. The data were then coded and tabulated using percentage-based basis values. The findings of this study indicated that, first, students' attitudes regarding the independent assessment of e-learning assessment were 85% showing a favorable result. In the meantime, certain lecturers' respondents needed to provide more feedback and were absent from certain lecturers during learning. Second, the student's view of the learning outcome of using e-learning was positive (68%) because the online meeting coincided with the learning process. Third, the students' perspectives on the evaluation of using e-learning fall under the category of the fair. (65%) During the pandemic, poverty has hindered students' access to and involvement in learning. Those who come from economically disadvantaged families cannot provide appropriate resources for online learning. Long-term lack of infrastructure and access will jeopardize educational achievements.
This research aims to describe the phonological interference in the students' English pronunciation. This research is descriptively designed. The subjects are the students with the Banjarese background. The instruments used in this research are questionnaires and oral test. Data were contrastively analyzed. The research showed the students’ pronunciation problems due to the use of Banjarese phonology. There are 23 types of phonological interference found in the English pronunciation. The factors of the linguistic phenomena are: (1) the existence of a given sound in English, but absence from the Banjarese. The Banjarese (L-1) has vowels: /a/, /u/, /i/, /e/, and /o/, whereas English (L-2) has vowels: /I/, /e/, /æ/, /ʌ/, /ɒ/, /ʊ/, /ə/ /i:/, /ɜ:/, /ɑ:/, /ɔ:/, /u:/. The L-1 has three diphthongs, namely: /ai/, /au/, and /ui/, while the L-2 has eight diphthongs, namely: /Iə/, /oʊ/, /aɪ/, /aʊ/, /ɔɪ/, /ɪə/, /ʊə/, and /ɔə/. The L-1 has the consonants: /b/, /d/, /g/, /p/, /t/, /k/, /c/, /j/, /s/, /h/, /m/, /n/, /ny/, /ŋ/, /l/, /r/, /w/, and /y/, while the L-2 has the following consonants: /b/, /d/, /g/, /p/, /t/, /k/, /f/, /v/, /ɵ/, /ð/, /s/, /z/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /tʃ/, /dʒ/, /m/, /n/, /ŋ/, /l/, /r/, /w/, /j/ and /h/. Second, both languages have the same phonetic segments but differ in their distributions. Third, both languages have voiced stop consonants /p, k, and t/, but they are differently realized in a particular position. One of the phonological rules is what is called ‘aspiration. Thus, the students need to more practice in oral production.
