Abstract-Cultural Intelligence (CQ) is believed as an additional type to the existing forms of intelligence (IQ, EQ). It also explains why some individuals are more effective than others in culturally diverse situations. Studies have documented how successful language learners seem to use wider variety of language learning strategies than unsuccessful learners. Having these two important aspects in relation to the successfulness of acquiring foreign language thus this study is intended to explore the relationship of Cultural Intelligence, Language Learning Strategy and English Language proficiency. The study involved 87 second-year students of English Department, Mulawarman University. Data were gathered using The Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS), The Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) and TOEFL. Descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS 20 were used in the process of data analysis. The result reveals that CQ level of the students is medium (M=51.984) with metacognitive and motivational as dominant factors for both male and female students. The data shows that there is a significant relationship between CQ and LLS (F= 13.082, p= 0.001). This result confirms the previous studies that culture influences the frequency and type of LLS use. As for strategy categories, metacognitive is the most frequently used strategy (M=3.704) and affective is the least frequently used (M=3.080). The students' proficiency level is ranging from elementary (25.29%) to advanced (8.05%). The dominant level is low intermediate. The data recorded that there is no correlation among cultural intelligence, language learning strategies and English language proficiency (F=1.208, p= 0.304).Index Terms-cultural intelligence, language learning strategies, English language proficiency

This study aimed to find out the types of questions used by the English teachers based on the purposes of questioning as proposed by Scrivener (2012). This study employed descriptive or explorative case study. This design allowed the researcher to investigate phenomena within the participants" real life contexts. There were two English teachers involved as the subject of this study. The data were collected through observation and analyzed through some stages based on the interactive model of data analysis. The findings showed that check questions were more frequently uttered by the teachers than real questions and concept questions in both classes. It was also revealed that teachers" beliefs in teaching English as foreign language seemed to influence the types of questions used by teachers in the classroom. This study provides several implications for the implementation of teacher questions in EFL classroom.

This paper is based on a study on speaking fluency performed by six low level students using retelling technique. The aim of the study is to find out the effect of retelling on the students’ speaking fluency and to know the strategies used by those students while retelling a story. The data were the speaking transcripts which were analyzed to see the progress after six-time treatment was given. The result reveals that the speaking fluency of the students increased in some areas as shown by the improvement on their vocabulary and comprehensibility.

This study investigates the application of language learning strategies by different gender of university students. To do so, memory, cognitive, compensation, metacognitive, affective, and social language learning strategies were investigated. To collect data, the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL; Oxford, 1990) was administered to male and female student. They, then, were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings of the study indicated that students used a wider range of learning strategies and different from those often preferred by their gender. Both female and male often use social strategies while the lowest frequency strategy use both them were different. The results of this study can be useful for language teachers instead of raising their awareness on reducing the gap between the students' language learning strategies and their teaching technique preferences.

Abstract. In the 21 st century, our life is strongly affected by the information technology. Educational technology has been rapidly improved by the development of audiovisual tools. Teachers may choose a number of different types of resources for teaching purposes, including videos and movies. Therefore, this study is aimed at evaluating animated narrative videos from YouTube for the teaching narrative text and identifying potential factors which influence the quality of educational videos. The videos were examined by using assessment rubric to see the quality and suitability of animated narrative videos which might be used in the teaching narrative text. The rubric was adapted from Prince Edward Island (PEI) Department of Education: Evaluation and Selection of Learning Resources. It consists of four criteria, content, structure, instructional design, and technical design In addition, the study presents critical awareness of how these aspects can be interpreted to measure animated narrative videos and at the same time the engagement of the teachers in exploring animated narrative videos used in classroom.

It is undeniable that motivation plays a very important role in the learning process of students. However, some learners still face difficulties in learning English language due to some factors such as differences on its cultural aspects that contributes to the lack of intercultural competence on EFL learners. The aim of the research is to investigate the socio cultural and educational factors that influence the learner’s motivation on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning among post-graduate students of English Department of Syiah Kuala University, Aceh, Indonesia. The method of the study is descriptive qualitative where researchers collected the data through library research and distribution of questionnaires to twenty students. The results showed that socio cultural and educational background impact on learners’ motivation in EFL learning. Students who are in collectivistic culture (60%) carried traditional thinking in facing new culture during the EFL learning process while the rest of the students who are in the part of individualistic culture (40%) tend to react positively in facing new culture. Furthermore, educational background also has impacted the learners’ motivation. Students’ prior knowledge contribute to (70%) their learning achievement

Learning style is one of the factors contributing to students’ success on second or foreign language learning. This present research attempted to identify various learning styles used in learning English by administering Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire ( PLSPQ ) for 121 EFL students at English literature study program. The result of descriptive analysis showed that the overall students’ preferred learning style was found to be auditory (M= 37.5, SD = 4.48). Based on gender differences, a majority of male students were auditory students ( M = 38.6, SD = 4.27)  and most of the female students were observed to have tendency to be in the category of kinaesthetic students (M = 3.69, SD = .49). The individual learning style became the least frequent style used by the students ( M = 35.2, SD = 7.53). The findings contribute to the improvement of teaching practice quality. Educators are recommended to employ various teaching styles and design variety of activities that enable students to activate their own learning styles more effectively.Keywords: learning style, Second Language Acquisition (SLA), Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire ( PLSPQ )

The article analyzed pre-service teachers’ experiences in designing and implementing instructional videos based on the TPACK framework in their microteaching course. This was a qualitative study in which nine students of English teacher education (i.e., preservice teachers) were the participants who learned to design and implement instructional videos in their micro-teaching course. The data were extracted from the results of the interview and document analyses on their instructional videos made in microteaching class together with other 29 students participating in the class. The data were analyzed by using the interactive model proposed by Miles et al. (2014). The result showed that pre-service teachers had various self-reflections in the experiences of designing and implementing the instructional videos based on the TPACK framework, putting into three phases of steps in design-making and product-implementing. The pre-service teachers’ inadequacies in having the TK and CK caused difficulties in designing the instructional videos in general. Moreover, the pre-service teachers coped with numerous challenges, both personally and technically. Finally, this finding is advisable for 21st-century teacher candidates who should integrate technology into teaching in that they should be technology-alert in any circumstance of teaching.ABSTRAKArtikel ini menganalisis pengalaman calon guru dalam merancang dan mengimplementasikan video instruksional berdasarkan kerangka kerja TPACK dalam kursus microteaching mereka. Ini adalah studi kualitatif di mana sembilan siswa pendidikan guru bahasa Inggris (yaitu, calon guru) adalah peserta yang belajar merancang dan mengimplementasikan video instruksional dalam kursus micro-teaching mereka. Data diambil dari hasil wawancara dan analisis dokumen pada video instruksional mereka yang dibuat di kelas microteaching bersama dengan 29 siswa lain yang berpartisipasi di kelas tersebut. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan model interaktif yang diusulkan oleh Miles et al. (2014). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa calon guru memiliki berbagai refleksi diri dalam pengalaman merancang dan mengimplementasikan video pembelajaran berdasarkan kerangka TPACK, menempatkan ke dalam tiga fase langkah dalam pembuatan desain dan implementasi produk. Kekurangan guru prajabatan dalam memiliki TK dan CK menyebabkan kesulitan dalam merancang video pembelajaran secara umum. Selain itu, calon guru menghadapi berbagai tantangan, baik secara pribadi maupun teknis. Akhirnya, temuan ini disarankan untuk calon guru abad ke-21 yang harus mengintegrasikan teknologi ke dalam pengajaran karena mereka harus mewaspadai teknologi dalam segala situasi pengajaran.How to Cite: Putri I., Susilo, Rachmawaty, N.(2022).
