Online learning is a growing movement of the twenty first century as well as the development of ICT (Information and Communication Technology). The online learning also has been used in second language learning, especially English. Several studies have been implemented concerning how the online learning is conducted. Podcast is part of ICT which can be used as a tool in teaching English. However, the studies investigating how the teachers use this technology in online environments are scarce. Therefore, this study is conducted to figure out the students' perception towards the student-created podcast as an active learning approach to promote extensive speaking practice in English online environment. This study involved one hundred twenty students in Politeknik Elektronika Negeri Surabaya as participants. The data collected from online course observation and questionnaire were analysed. The study showed that the student-created podcast is considered to be an innovative learning strategy in second language learning. The students had positive attitude towards podcast. The effectiveness of podcast can be established under the careful supervision in lesson sequence from teacher to deliver materials through podcast. The online interaction in podcast gives the students more exposure on extensive speaking practice. Further, it is also recommended to find out teachers' perception toward the use of podcast in language learning, so we can get clear picture on how podcast can enhance the learning activities particularly in online learning environment.
This study examined the similarities and differences between two literary works, Giambattista Basile's Sun, Moon, and Talia and Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty, emphasizing gender roles. The authors examined how both male and female characters were portrayed in the short stories. To analyze this problem, the qualitative methodology was employed. The data sources were acquired through library research. The primary data came from the two short stories, while the supporting data came from other sources such as journals, e-books, and other internet-based material that was relevant. In both stories, male characters are stronger, more powerful, and more dominant than their female counterparts, as indicated by the study's findings. This analysis also found that both stories were presented differently by their respective authors, with Sun Moon and Talia depicting the patriarchal structure more explicitly than Disney's Sleeping Beauty.
English is one of the essential factors to gain access to global information and knowledge of science and technology. The rapid expansion of technological education and knowledge in developing countries, such as Indonesia, calls for the need into foreign language proficiency, especially English to meet the demand of global market. Seeing the current challenges of global competition, many higher education institutions set the graduation requirements by assigning the students to follow TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) in order to measure and determine the capability or proficiency in English-speaking graduates. Considering TOEFL as one of the most ideal test in assessing English skill, this study aims to generate product in the form of E-TEFL (EEPIS Test of English as a Foreign Language) which is established as an evaluation tool to meet the academic needs in Electronic Engineering Polytechnic Institute of Surabaya (PENS). Research and development (R&D) is a method used in this study. The study was conducted through several stages namely (1) need analysis, (2) System design, (3) E-TEFLdevelopment, (4) expert validation (lecturers) and first revision, (5) try-out, (6) final revision. The use of technology in developing E-TEFL application is expected to give another alternative in learning TOEFL and E-TEFL can be used as an ideal assessment tool for proving students’ language proficiency as graduation requirement. Abstrak Bahasa Ingris adalah salah satu faktor penting dalam meraih informasi, pengetahuan an teknologi. perkembangan yrknolgi pendidikan dan ilmu pengetahuan yang cepat di negara berkembang seperti Indonesia, kemampuan bahasa asing, khususnya bahasa Inggris sangat dibutuhkan untuk bisa memenuhi kebutuhan pasar global. Melihat tantangan ini, banyak lembaga pendidikan tinggi menerapkan TOEFL sebagai salah satu syarat kelulusan mahasiswanya. Mengingat TOEFL merupakan salah satu tes yang paling ideal dalam mengukur kemampuan bahasa Inggris, studi ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan sebuah produk yang berbentuk E-TEFL (EEPIS Test of English as a Foreign Language) yang digunakan sebagai alat evaluasi untuk memenuhi tuntutan akademik. Studi ini menggunakan metode Research and Development melalui beberapa tahapan yaitu, analisa, desain, pengembangan, validasi, revisi, uji coba, dan revisi akhir. Penggunaan teknologi dalam pengembangan apilkasi E-TEFL ini diharapkan bisa digunakan sebagai alat pengukuran kemampuan bahasa Inggris mahasiswa yang ideal
