The level of creativity in english writing among jordanian secondary school s...Alexander Decker
This study aimed to measure the level of creativity in English writing among Jordanian secondary school students. The researchers used the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) to assess the creativity dimensions of fluency, flexibility, and originality in a sample of 100 students from schools in Irbid and Amman. The TTCT is considered the best test for evaluating these dimensions of creativity in writing. The results showed that the students demonstrated a moderate level of creativity overall in their English writing. The study aimed to provide information to help improve programs and teaching to further develop students' creativity.
This paper attempts to assess the speech ability of the grade 10 students in Jose Sanvictores Sr. National School in Cagwait, Surigao del Sur. It uses random sampling which identifies 70 respondents. This study used descriptive - correlational method in order to determine the level of speech ability of Grade 10 students. The study dealt with the following objectives to determine the profile of the respondents in terms of gender, language facility, parent's educational attainment, media preference, communication practice, use of English and media preference to identify the level of oral language proficiency as to grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and fluency and to assess the significant relationship between the profile of the participants and the level of speech ability.

English background as the predictors for students’ speaking skills in pakistanAlexander Decker
This study examined the relationship between students' English language background and their speaking skills in Pakistan. The study assessed 60 male secondary students' speaking skills using a standardized rubric. It found that students' last English class score and number of years in English medium schools significantly predicted their speaking score. However, attending an English language institute did not significantly impact speaking scores. Most students reported lacking confidence and shyness in speaking English with peers. The study aimed to provide information to help improve English language education in Pakistan.

Reticence of Speaking in a Maldivian ESL Classroom Causes and Solutionijtsrd
Although teachers adopt various approaches in their teaching to improve the language skills of the students, reticent behaviour of the students in speaking lessons often frustrates teachers. Hence, the present study aims to investigate the factors contributing to the reticent behaviour of students in ESL classrooms, strategies used by Maldivian students to cope with speaking anxiety and how teachers attempt to alleviate the problem of reticence in ESL classroom. To fulfill this aim, the present paper addresses the following questions 1 what do Maldivian students and teachers notice as the factors contributing the reticence in speaking in ESL classrooms 2 What strategies do Maldivian learners use to cope with speaking anxiety 3 What strategies do Maldivian teachers adopt to effectively cope with student’s reticent behaviour of speaking in ESL class The data was taken from seven participants four teachers and three students through face to face interview. Further, classroom observations was done to gain more information about the behviour being studied. The research findings showed that different social psychological factors, fluency factors and cognitive factors make the learners to be reticent in ESL classroom. Furthermore, students employ various strategies, such as avoidance strategy, seeking help from friends, using mother tongue, writing and rehearsing what they want to say in order to cope with the problem of reticence. The findings also showed that teachers attempt to alleviate the problem by altering the teaching methods and building a stress free classroom environment for the students. Surprisingly, the results showed that teachers give less importance to speaking skill as it not tested in exam. Therefore, it is recommended to include speaking in when Maldivian students do IGCSE exam.

Error analysis is a type of linguistic studies that focuses on the errors that learners make. To identify and explain the errors which are committed by second/foreign language learners, error analysis is one of the best ways of such purpose. This study aimed at analyzing the errors in the use of prepositions made by Kurdish EFL learners. One-hundred and seven students studying English at University of Sulaimani, Kurdistan, Iraq participated in this study. Based on the result of Oxford Placement Test participants of this study were at three different levels of proficiency; elementary, lower-intermediate and upper-intermediate. This study tries to find out the sources of the errors and specify the differences between learners at different levels of proficiency. An Oxford Placement test and a preposition test were used to elicit the data. After analyzing the data by SAS ver. 9 and SPSS VER. 22, it was revealed that, Kurdish EFL learners have problems in the use of English prepositions. The students at different levels of proficiency were different in making errors and the sources behind making errors. The students of higher levels of proficiency were least effected by the interlingual source of errors and also intralingual errors, and they committed fewer errors; it might be because students at higher levels of proficiency have more practice compare to the lower levels of proficiency. In the light of findings, this study has some pedagogical implications for teaching prepositions. Teachers are advised to draw their students’ attention to the fact that literal translation into their mother tongue may lead to errors.
This document summarizes a research study that explored communication apprehension among English language learners studying business at Universiti Teknologi Mara in Kelantan, Malaysia. The study investigated how both psychological and socio-cultural factors can contribute to communication apprehension in an English language classroom. A survey was conducted with 51 first-year diploma students using a questionnaire to understand what factors influence their levels of anxiety related to speaking English. The findings revealed that students' communication apprehension was affected by both internal psychological factors like self-esteem and beliefs about language learning, as well as external socio-cultural factors like status relationships and social contexts.
This document summarizes a study that analyzed the politeness strategies used in emails sent by Arab postgraduate students in Malaysian universities to their supervisors. The study used Brown and Levinson's politeness theory and CCSARP coding to analyze 18 emails from 6 Arab students. The findings showed that the students used both positive and negative politeness strategies and tended to be more direct in their requests. No indirect strategies were used. The study provides insight into the Arab students' politeness strategies to help avoid misunderstandings when communicating in English via email in an academic environment.
The document summarizes a qualitative research study on the impact of English on the identities of young Malaysian undergraduates from multilingual backgrounds. The study interviewed 20 students from public and private colleges in Selangor, Malaysia, exploring how they perceive English in relation to other languages they speak and how it has influenced their identity development. Key findings included English emerging as the dominant language for many, being viewed as practical but also threatening local languages and identities. The methodology is considered sound and inferences reasonable, but conducting similar studies in other regions of Malaysia could provide more insights into English's roles and impacts.

This document discusses plagiarism among ESL/EFL students. It notes that plagiarism has become widespread due to the ease of finding and copying information online as well as cultural differences in concepts of authorship. ESL/EFL students in particular struggle with plagiarism unintentionally due to difficulties with writing in English and differences in educational systems. The document recommends several strategies for teachers, such as explicitly teaching what plagiarism is, having students practice note-taking and paraphrasing, and recognizing individual student challenges.

From Social Media English to Academic English Analysis of Surface Errors in U...ijtsrd
The study investigated the effects of university students’ social media linguistic practices on their academic communication. Specifically, it was concerned with their ability to recognize and keep to the formal informal styles of communication effortlessly. Questionnaires, containing natural sample social media chats and containing varied informal features authored by university students, were used as the main data collection instruments. Findings revealed that most of the respondents are unable to transition between the formal – informal divide successfully. Among the micro level writing errors investigated, punctuation errors were seen to be pervasive, and followed, in the order, by contracted forms, capitalisation, word choice and spelling. The study recommends that equal emphasis be placed on the teaching of lower order academic writing concerns by relevant academic departments or centres. Joyce S. A.

Brokering practices among EAL international studentsSherrie Lee
Academic challenges of international students, particularly those with English as an additional language (EAL), have been mostly researched in the classroom context, with little attention paid to students’ informal learning practices. My research looks specifically at the brokering practices of EAL tertiary students in their understanding of academic literacy. Brokering refers to how students seek help from their peers about understanding academic knowledge and skills. I conducted semi-structured interviews and observations to find out who students approached for help, aspects of academic literacy they needed help with, and their perceptions of the experience. The research findings suggest that educators need to pay attention to how students seek peer support in academic learning in order to develop more effective ways of supporting students’ academic literacy needs.

Effect of l1 interlinear glosses on l2 reading and translation tasksCeceFrayMartn
This study investigates the effects of different types of glossing (interlinear translation, parallel text translation, and columnar translation) on word recall and cognitive load when reading an English text for English foreign language (EFL) beginner learners. Participants read one English text using one of the three glossing conditions and completed immediate and delayed post-tests to measure word recall. Cognitive load was also measured using a questionnaire. The findings showed that interlinear translation resulted in higher word recall rates on both immediate and delayed post-tests compared to the other conditions. Interlinear translation also induced a lower cognitive load than the other conditions. The conclusions recommend the use of interlinear glossing as an effective reading strategy for EFL beginners
1 the era of pragmatic english tesol 2011cjeremysykes
The document discusses the rise of pragmatic international English as a lingua franca for global business communication. It notes that the scale of people participating in the global economy who need English skills has expanded dramatically. It also discusses different perspectives on the spread of English globally and defines pragmatic international English as the functional business language needed for tasks like report writing and digital communication. The document concludes by examining the need for Taiwanese students to develop stronger English communication skills to compete globally, and principles for communicative language learning through tasks and active communication.
Canada has become a leader in whole-language instruction in North America. Whole-language classrooms are student-centered, literature-centered, and organized to support small group work. Language learning extends across the curriculum, and teachers do not rely solely on basal reading programs.
The whole-language philosophy has been adopted as official policy in the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Nova Scotia. Teachers are increasingly encouraged to move away from skills-based instruction toward whole-language approaches. A curriculum guide used in Nova Scotia provides a model for a system-wide whole-language program. Canadian researchers and educators have influenced the development of whole-language instruction in the country.

Determining the Effectiveness of the Developed Prototype That Translate Pakis...Premier Publishers
The present research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed prototype, which translates Pakistan sign language into text and speech while using convolutional neural networking. Due to the lack of sign language teaching, unimpaired teachers face problems while teaching deaf students. The development of a translation tool can fill this communication gap. Research indicates that the gap was highlighted and to bridge the communication gap among impaired and unimpaired people, the prototype was conceived, which can translate the Pakistan sign language into English text and speech. The study employed a qualitative approach. Eight teachers were selected as sample using purposive sampling technique who were teaching deaf students. The present research incorporates the practical application of the sign translation tool in the separate article. Data was collected through focus group interviews. Data were analyzed using Nvivo. Findings of the results revealed that the tool proved to be effective in overcoming the communication barrier between deaf learners and unimpaired teachers. Moreover, the sign to speech translation option is more effective because it facilitates visually blind learners. This tool helps the teachers and other people to teach and communicate with deaf people, efficiently and quickly.
This document summarizes a paper presented at the 8th International Conference on Language and Development in Bangladesh in 2009. The paper explores the importance employers in Bangladesh place on English language skills when hiring. It finds that English ability is often used as a screening mechanism in recruitment and is considered a prerequisite for employment, especially in government jobs and organizations that work internationally. While English skills can provide opportunities, they also function to exclude many without access to English education. The paper examines literature showing graduates in other countries also struggle in jobs requiring English communication skills.
This document summarizes a research paper about the status of Mewati language in relation to Hindi and Urdu in the Mewat region of India. It examines how social institutions like schools and madrasas contribute to language shift away from Mewati. The document discusses the Three Language Formula policy and how its implementation has pushed minority languages out of schools. While Urdu is taught in madrasas, its association with Muslim identity has also contributed to the decline of the local Mewati language. The document argues that language maintenance of minority languages like Mewati requires inclusion in school curriculums.
Using focused ethnography to understand brokering practices among internation...Sherrie Lee
Brokering practices are help-seeking interactions that bridge gaps in the seekers' knowledge and understanding of new cultural practices thus enabling them to access resources they would find difficult to do so on their own. For EAL (English as an Additional Language) students, these help-seeking interactions may involve getting others to translate, interpret or explain particular aspects of the host academic environment. In this research, focused ethnography (Knoblauch 2005) is used to investigate the nature of brokering practices among ten international EAL tertiary students during their initial academic semester of fifteen weeks. Focused ethnography specifically addresses constraints in the research context (e.g. time and access to informants), as well as capitalizes on technological tools such as digital recording devices. In seeking to understand brokering interactions and relationships students have with their brokers, conventional ethnographic methods were adapted, for example, digital ethnographic methods (Pink et al. 2015) were used instead of participant observation. Digital ethnographic methods allows a large amount of data to be recorded and reviewed, a feature of focused ethnography known as data intensity. While this form of intensity has been argued to compensate for a short period of research activity, this research suggests that another form of intensity – relational intensity – is just as important in addressing research constraints. Relational intensity refers to the researcher's ongoing responsiveness to the needs of research participants. The paper concludes that future focused ethnographic research should consider both data-related and relational forms of intensity in addressing research constraints.

Using Information Gap Activities in Promoting Speaking Skills for Elementary ...AJSERJournal
In recent years, communicative approach is considered one of the primary methods to develop students’
speaking competence. When applying communicative approach in the classroom, information gap activities are
employed to promote students’ oral skill. These activities have brought many benefits for students in the classroom and
become good stimulations for students to boost their speaking skills. The study took place at Dong Nai Technology
University with the objectives to investigate the students’ perspectives of teachers using the information gap activities
to help students improve their speaking competence. The data were collected via survey questionnaires and semistructured interviews in sequence. Sixty students took part in the survey questionnaire to answer 14 questions on their
perception on speaking skills and information gap activities. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with 6
volunteer students to explain more deeply about their answers in the survey questionnaires to evaluate the validity of
the findings from the survey and give the answers to see whether these activities can affect students’ speaking skills in
the developed way. The findings from the study shows that information gaps activities are effectively utilized for the
development of students’ speaking skills
An Error Analysis On Using Personal Pronouns In Writing Descriptive TextSabrina Ball
This study analyzed errors in using personal pronouns in descriptive writing by ninth grade students in Indonesia. The researchers collected writing samples from 9 students and identified types of pronoun errors. They found 4 types of errors: omission, addition, misordering, and disordering. Most common was mis-formation errors, occurring in 17 out of 25 errors identified, or 68%. The highest percentage of errors was due to incorrect use of subject pronouns. The study aims to help students and teachers identify common errors and improve English writing instruction.
This study investigated English-speaking confidence among 50 first-year engineering undergraduates at a Malaysian technical university. A survey and interviews were conducted to understand students' perceptions of factors influencing their confidence. The survey examined grammar, vocabulary, and manual abilities. Results showed manual abilities were most important, followed by vocabulary, with grammar being moderately important. Interviews suggested regular English practice, such as speaking to friends and teachers or doing presentations, could help improve confidence. Overall, the study aimed to identify barriers to students' English-speaking confidence and inform efforts to enhance their communication skills.

This study tries to find out the sources of the errors and specify the differences between learners at different levels of proficiency. An Oxford Placement test and a preposition test were used to elicit the data. After analyzing the data by SAS ver. 9 and SPSS VER. 22, it was revealed that, Kurdish EFL learners have problems in the use of English prepositions. The students at different levels of proficiency were different in making errors and the sources behind making errors. The students of higher levels of proficiency were least effected by the interlingual source of errors and also intralingual errors, and they committed fewer errors; it might be because students at higher levels of proficiency have more practice compare to the lower levels of proficiency. In the light of findings, this study has some pedagogical implications for teaching prepositions. Teachers are advised to draw their students’ attention to the fact that literal translation into their mother tongue may lead to errors.
This document summarizes a research study that explored communication apprehension among English language learners studying business at Universiti Teknologi Mara in Kelantan, Malaysia. The study investigated how both psychological and socio-cultural factors can contribute to communication apprehension in an English language classroom. A survey was conducted with 51 first-year diploma students using a questionnaire to understand what factors influence their levels of anxiety related to speaking English. The findings revealed that students' communication apprehension was affected by both internal psychological factors like self-esteem and beliefs about language learning, as well as external socio-cultural factors like status relationships and social contexts.
This document summarizes a study that analyzed the politeness strategies used in emails sent by Arab postgraduate students in Malaysian universities to their supervisors. The study used Brown and Levinson's politeness theory and CCSARP coding to analyze 18 emails from 6 Arab students. The findings showed that the students used both positive and negative politeness strategies and tended to be more direct in their requests. No indirect strategies were used. The study provides insight into the Arab students' politeness strategies to help avoid misunderstandings when communicating in English via email in an academic environment.
The document summarizes a qualitative research study on the impact of English on the identities of young Malaysian undergraduates from multilingual backgrounds. The study interviewed 20 students from public and private colleges in Selangor, Malaysia, exploring how they perceive English in relation to other languages they speak and how it has influenced their identity development. Key findings included English emerging as the dominant language for many, being viewed as practical but also threatening local languages and identities. The methodology is considered sound and inferences reasonable, but conducting similar studies in other regions of Malaysia could provide more insights into English's roles and impacts.

This document discusses plagiarism among ESL/EFL students. It notes that plagiarism has become widespread due to the ease of finding and copying information online as well as cultural differences in concepts of authorship. ESL/EFL students in particular struggle with plagiarism unintentionally due to difficulties with writing in English and differences in educational systems. The document recommends several strategies for teachers, such as explicitly teaching what plagiarism is, having students practice note-taking and paraphrasing, and recognizing individual student challenges.

From Social Media English to Academic English Analysis of Surface Errors in U...ijtsrd
The study investigated the effects of university students’ social media linguistic practices on their academic communication. Specifically, it was concerned with their ability to recognize and keep to the formal informal styles of communication effortlessly. Questionnaires, containing natural sample social media chats and containing varied informal features authored by university students, were used as the main data collection instruments. Findings revealed that most of the respondents are unable to transition between the formal – informal divide successfully. Among the micro level writing errors investigated, punctuation errors were seen to be pervasive, and followed, in the order, by contracted forms, capitalisation, word choice and spelling. The study recommends that equal emphasis be placed on the teaching of lower order academic writing concerns by relevant academic departments or centres. Joyce S. A.

Brokering practices among EAL international studentsSherrie Lee
Academic challenges of international students, particularly those with English as an additional language (EAL), have been mostly researched in the classroom context, with little attention paid to students’ informal learning practices. My research looks specifically at the brokering practices of EAL tertiary students in their understanding of academic literacy. Brokering refers to how students seek help from their peers about understanding academic knowledge and skills. I conducted semi-structured interviews and observations to find out who students approached for help, aspects of academic literacy they needed help with, and their perceptions of the experience. The research findings suggest that educators need to pay attention to how students seek peer support in academic learning in order to develop more effective ways of supporting students’ academic literacy needs.

Effect of l1 interlinear glosses on l2 reading and translation tasksCeceFrayMartn
This study investigates the effects of different types of glossing (interlinear translation, parallel text translation, and columnar translation) on word recall and cognitive load when reading an English text for English foreign language (EFL) beginner learners. Participants read one English text using one of the three glossing conditions and completed immediate and delayed post-tests to measure word recall. Cognitive load was also measured using a questionnaire. The findings showed that interlinear translation resulted in higher word recall rates on both immediate and delayed post-tests compared to the other conditions. Interlinear translation also induced a lower cognitive load than the other conditions. The conclusions recommend the use of interlinear glossing as an effective reading strategy for EFL beginners

Canada has become a leader in whole-language instruction in North America. Whole-language classrooms are student-centered, literature-centered, and organized to support small group work. Language learning extends across the curriculum, and teachers do not rely solely on basal reading programs.
The whole-language philosophy has been adopted as official policy in the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Nova Scotia. Teachers are increasingly encouraged to move away from skills-based instruction toward whole-language approaches. A curriculum guide used in Nova Scotia provides a model for a system-wide whole-language program. Canadian researchers and educators have influenced the development of whole-language instruction in the country.

Determining the Effectiveness of the Developed Prototype That Translate Pakis...Premier Publishers
The present research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed prototype, which translates Pakistan sign language into text and speech while using convolutional neural networking. Due to the lack of sign language teaching, unimpaired teachers face problems while teaching deaf students. The development of a translation tool can fill this communication gap. Research indicates that the gap was highlighted and to bridge the communication gap among impaired and unimpaired people, the prototype was conceived, which can translate the Pakistan sign language into English text and speech. The study employed a qualitative approach. Eight teachers were selected as sample using purposive sampling technique who were teaching deaf students. The present research incorporates the practical application of the sign translation tool in the separate article. Data was collected through focus group interviews. Data were analyzed using Nvivo. Findings of the results revealed that the tool proved to be effective in overcoming the communication barrier between deaf learners and unimpaired teachers. Moreover, the sign to speech translation option is more effective because it facilitates visually blind learners. This tool helps the teachers and other people to teach and communicate with deaf people, efficiently and quickly.
This document summarizes a paper presented at the 8th International Conference on Language and Development in Bangladesh in 2009. The paper explores the importance employers in Bangladesh place on English language skills when hiring. It finds that English ability is often used as a screening mechanism in recruitment and is considered a prerequisite for employment, especially in government jobs and organizations that work internationally. While English skills can provide opportunities, they also function to exclude many without access to English education. The paper examines literature showing graduates in other countries also struggle in jobs requiring English communication skills.
This document summarizes a research paper about the status of Mewati language in relation to Hindi and Urdu in the Mewat region of India. It examines how social institutions like schools and madrasas contribute to language shift away from Mewati. The document discusses the Three Language Formula policy and how its implementation has pushed minority languages out of schools. While Urdu is taught in madrasas, its association with Muslim identity has also contributed to the decline of the local Mewati language. The document argues that language maintenance of minority languages like Mewati requires inclusion in school curriculums.
Using focused ethnography to understand brokering practices among internation...Sherrie Lee
Brokering practices are help-seeking interactions that bridge gaps in the seekers' knowledge and understanding of new cultural practices thus enabling them to access resources they would find difficult to do so on their own. For EAL (English as an Additional Language) students, these help-seeking interactions may involve getting others to translate, interpret or explain particular aspects of the host academic environment. In this research, focused ethnography (Knoblauch 2005) is used to investigate the nature of brokering practices among ten international EAL tertiary students during their initial academic semester of fifteen weeks. Focused ethnography specifically addresses constraints in the research context (e.g. time and access to informants), as well as capitalizes on technological tools such as digital recording devices. In seeking to understand brokering interactions and relationships students have with their brokers, conventional ethnographic methods were adapted, for example, digital ethnographic methods (Pink et al. 2015) were used instead of participant observation. Digital ethnographic methods allows a large amount of data to be recorded and reviewed, a feature of focused ethnography known as data intensity. While this form of intensity has been argued to compensate for a short period of research activity, this research suggests that another form of intensity – relational intensity – is just as important in addressing research constraints. Relational intensity refers to the researcher's ongoing responsiveness to the needs of research participants. The paper concludes that future focused ethnographic research should consider both data-related and relational forms of intensity in addressing research constraints.

Using Information Gap Activities in Promoting Speaking Skills for Elementary ...AJSERJournal
In recent years, communicative approach is considered one of the primary methods to develop students’
speaking competence. When applying communicative approach in the classroom, information gap activities are
employed to promote students’ oral skill. These activities have brought many benefits for students in the classroom and
become good stimulations for students to boost their speaking skills. The study took place at Dong Nai Technology
University with the objectives to investigate the students’ perspectives of teachers using the information gap activities
to help students improve their speaking competence. The data were collected via survey questionnaires and semistructured interviews in sequence. Sixty students took part in the survey questionnaire to answer 14 questions on their
perception on speaking skills and information gap activities. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with 6
volunteer students to explain more deeply about their answers in the survey questionnaires to evaluate the validity of
the findings from the survey and give the answers to see whether these activities can affect students’ speaking skills in
the developed way. The findings from the study shows that information gaps activities are effectively utilized for the
development of students’ speaking skills
An Error Analysis On Using Personal Pronouns In Writing Descriptive TextSabrina Ball
This study analyzed errors in using personal pronouns in descriptive writing by ninth grade students in Indonesia. The researchers collected writing samples from 9 students and identified types of pronoun errors. They found 4 types of errors: omission, addition, misordering, and disordering. Most common was mis-formation errors, occurring in 17 out of 25 errors identified, or 68%. The highest percentage of errors was due to incorrect use of subject pronouns. The study aims to help students and teachers identify common errors and improve English writing instruction.
This study investigated English-speaking confidence among 50 first-year engineering undergraduates at a Malaysian technical university. A survey and interviews were conducted to understand students' perceptions of factors influencing their confidence. The survey examined grammar, vocabulary, and manual abilities. Results showed manual abilities were most important, followed by vocabulary, with grammar being moderately important. Interviews suggested regular English practice, such as speaking to friends and teachers or doing presentations, could help improve confidence. Overall, the study aimed to identify barriers to students' English-speaking confidence and inform efforts to enhance their communication skills.

An Analysis Of Students Speaking Anxiety In Academic Speaking ClassAngie Miller
This document summarizes a study that analyzed speaking anxiety among 52 students in an Academic Speaking class at a private university in Central Java, Indonesia. The study found that students' speaking anxiety was mainly caused by three factors: communication apprehension, test anxiety, and fear of negative evaluation. Additionally, lack of vocabulary, underestimating abilities, lack of preparation, fear of mistakes, and worry about embarrassment in front of peers also contributed to students' anxiety. The findings suggest that teachers play an important role in creating a positive classroom environment to help students overcome speaking anxiety.

Abstract: Interest in promoting quality English language teaching in foreign countries has been a long-standing
government priority. English is considered the most important universal language in education and professional
work. However, English teaching is focused on professional teaching and language skills without much emphasis
on aspects of English as a culture and not merely a language. The relation between exposure to English-speaking
cultures, mainly western, and EFL’s competencies is a topic in EFL academic research that requires more
investigation, especially in the context of non-native speakers in Arab countries. In education, the present
advancements in the technology field have resulted in renewed interests to blend conventional teaching and
learning approaches with technologies that improve teaching and learning of language. This research aims to
examine the works regarding blended education challenges as a technology-improved pedagogical instrument that
combines face-to-face and e-learning instructional tasks to develop English skills, including its applications in
coaching English as a new language. Besides, this work explores how blended learning enables students to become
engaged and autonomous in knowledge development instead of acting as a passive observers. It is anticipated that
the article shall contribute to improving the knowledge body which exists in the blending learning area, mainly as
it applies to the experience acquisition issues in EFL. It can be argued that blended learning applications can
support EFL learning and maximize opportunities for EFL students to study English at their convenience freely.
Some challenges should be resolved or addressed, such as ensuring that the designs of blended learning methods
put into consideration learning approaches of learners and the workload needed to be effective, the library
facilities can deliver this kind of method, and e-learning materials are suitably supportive, and learners can easily
access them

SOURCE-BASED NEWS WRITING AMONG UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS: STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVE...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: students' interest in writing must be increased, especially writing based on sources. Therefore,
this study would like to find students' perspectives and perceived challenges in writing based on sources. This
research was based on a case study. The research involved 68 students from one of the Universityy of PGRI
Semarang, and it analyzed 20 selected news writing papers written by students. The instruments for data
collection included questionnaire and observation. The results of this study found that 59% of students
perceived that writing news writing papers is very difficult. The students found it difficult to find suitable
sources for writing material and develop their ideas. They tended to use articles as the sources from the internet
whose originality is unclear. One reason this happens was because 80% of students did not know where to find
or get indexed journals to use as references for their writing. In addition, many students also preferred not to use
journals that were majorly English-based because of their limitation of English skills. The implication is that
students should be given further understanding of how to access journals and use reference sources in writing. It
is expected that every lecturer will give more source-based news writing assignments so that the ability of
students to write and develop ideas based on existing sources can be further improved.

This study examined the effects of cooperative and individual weblog-integrated writing instruction on the writing performance of 5th grade students. A mixed methods approach was used, including a quantitative pre-test post-test experimental design and qualitative case study. 21 students were divided into an experimental group that used cooperative weblogs (n=12) and a control group that used individual weblogs (n=9). Both groups received writing instruction based on blended learning. Results showed no significant difference in writing performance between the groups, except for ideas/content where the individual weblog group performed better. Qualitative findings suggested feedback had a positive effect on writing, while cooperative learning had a negative effect.

LITERACY PRACTICES AMONG TERTIARY STUDENTS IN THE WESTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICAijejournal
Language and critically thinking play a major role in academic performance. In multilingual contexts,
multiple factors account for the way Second Language (L2) learners make sense of the academic texts they
read. The students’ multilingual and multicultural diversity impacts on their interpretation of academic
texts. This article is derived from a work with mixed method but focuses on qualitative design. This article
qualitatively analyses how L2 students read and interpret academic texts in South African Universities.
Members of a study group were interviewed both as a group and individually. In the end, students’ study
practices towards academic literacy reveals translanguaging as one strategy of interpreting academic. One
argument is that most African Universities have English as a medium of instructions whereas the students
are often from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This diversity tends to influence the way
students read and interpret academic texts.

ABSTRACT
Having capability to speak English well is not an easy task. There are
some factors influencing the speaking competence. One of them is
creativity. Therefore, this research concerns on investigating the
influence of students’ creativity in arranging sentences toward their
speaking skill. This quasi-experimental research discusses whether
the students having high creativity have high speaking skill. The
population of the research was 109 students (5 classes). The research
used cluster randomsampling to choose two classes as the samples of
this research.The data of this research consisted of scores of
creativity test and speaking test. The data of thespeaking scores
comprises of the scores of the students having high and low creativity.
After those data were normal and homogeneous, then, the data were
analyzed using F-test ANOVA. The difference between rows is
significant because Fo between rows (1125.64) is higher than Ft
(4.11) at the level of significance α= 0.05. The mean score of
speaking test of students having high creativity (78.9) is higher than
that of students having low creativity (60.85). It means that the
speaking skill of students having high creativity is higher than those
who have low creativity. Thus, it can be concluded that students’
creativity influences their speaking skill.

INTRODUCTION
This quasi experimental research discusses whether or not the students who have high
creativity have high speaking skill.Some researchers have conducted the research about the
relationship between the creativity and the students’ achievement (e.g. Trivedi and Bhargava
(2010), Baghaei and Riasati (2013), and Ramezani, Larsari, and Kiasi (2016)). However, a
few researchers focused on the students’ creativity toward their speaking skill. There have
been limited studies concerned on exploring the influence of students’ creativity to create
sentences toward their speaking skill. Therefore, this research focuses on the neglected
influence of students’ creativity to construct sentences toward their speaking skill.
Trivedi and Bhargava (2010), Baghaei and Riasati (2013), and Ramezani, Larsari, and
Kiasi (2016) have found the significant relation between the creativity and the students’
achievement. Trivedi and Bhargava (2010) in their study found that adolesences who have
high achievement have higher level of creativity than those who have low achievement. Other
three studies inform the existence of creativity in teaching. Yager, Dogan, Hacieminoglu, and
Yager (2012) concludes that teachers using Science/Technology/Society (STS)approach are
aware of the capability of their students to use their creativity in their classrooms. Thestudy
conducted by Baghaei and Riasati (2013) suggests that the the creativity of the teachers may
affect the achievement of students. Additionally, Ramezani, Larsari, and Kiasi (2016) find
that English learners having higher critical thinking had better speaking skill.
Creativity has close relation with the ability of someone to produce and create
something new or different from others. Eragamreddy(2013) defines creativity as a kind of
thinking that can bring us to something new, novel, and fresh consisting of insight,
approaches, perspectives, ways of understanding and conceiving of things. Trivedi and
Bhargava (2010) say that creativity is a critical aspect of human’s lifebeginning from the
embryonic level up to adult people. Meanwhile, Lin (2011) argues that in the beginning of the
twentieth century, the perception about the creativity source has undergone the shifting from
inherited genius owned by the individuals with high talents to diverse human abilities.
Additionally, Mkpanang (2016) states that creativity is a process involving some cognitive
and affective factors which influence one another. Furthermore, Thakur and Shekhawat
(2014) present five levels of Taylor’s hierarchy of creativity, namely (1) an expressive

creativity, (2) a technical creativity, (3) an inventive creativity, (4) an innovative creativity,
and (5) an emergent creativity.
Another significant aspect in communication, particularly in English classes, is
speaking competence. As human being, people always interact with others in fulfilling their
daily need. In this case, they communicate one another. People commonly express and
communicate their willingness, feelings, ideas, and thoughts to others through speaking.
Mulya, Adnan, and Ardi (2013) state that someone can deliver his or her information and
ideas, and keep his or her social relationship by communicating with others through speaking.
Speaking is one of the communication ways to express ideas and thoughts orally(Efrizal,
2012). Thus, it can be said that speaking becomes an important part in human daily life.
Afrizal (2015) argues that speaking is a process which is interactive to make and receive
information. Meanwhile, Becker and Roos (2016) state that speaking is usually considered as
the language skill which is reproductive and imitative in the classroom so that the activities
done are prepared to produce the output which is closely supported accurate. With regardto
speaking English for EFL learners, Oradee (2012) presents the idea that EFL learners usually
do not use the language in authentic situations so that they often speak incorrectly and
inappropriately.Afrizal (2015) presents five components of speaking skill,
namelycommunication, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension
Speaking is one of the basic skills for English students. With regard to the role of
English, Arham, Yassi, and Arafah (2016) argue that speaking skill is the requirement to
interact and communicate in this globalization era, e.g. Indonesian workers must master
English speaking skill to work overseas. Therefore, It is very important to teach English as
Foreign Language (EFL) to Indonesian students.Ramezani, Larsari, and Kiasi (2016) point
outthat, for EFL learners, speaking skill becomes the most important skill because of
technology improvement and the need to interact with others in their community.Additionally,
Dewi, Kultsum, and Armadi (2017) say that EFL learners must master speaking skill as the
basic English language skill because it is useful for their knowledge improvement and making
them easier to get a job. Kaminskiene and Kavaliauskiene (2014) state that in the twenty first
century, English learners should be able to talk about professional issues. In line with this
condition, most of universities in Indonesia put English as one of compulsory courses for non
English department students.

Hasyim Asy’ari University, as other universities in Indonesia, put English as a
compulsary course for non English department students. English skills (listening, speaking,
reading, and writing)as a compulsary course for non English department students is taught
integratedly. They usually focus on speaking skill when they are studying English. Learning
speaking skill enables them to study listening, reading, and writing indirectly.Listening occurs
when they listen to their lecturer’s speech and other students’ talk. Reading, then, takes place
when they read the materials of the speaking topics. Meanwhile, students learn writing skill
happens when they write their ideas and thoughts or scripts to prepare their talk.
The speaking materials studied by non English department students are still the basic
one. It is still about how to express their ideas, feelings, and thoughts in their daily
conversations and discussions. They often practice speaking by talking with their partners and
sometimes by discussing some topics in their groups. Although it is still speaking about the
daily life, the students also need to use their creativity to produce the comprehending
conversations and discussions with their friends. The students’ creativity has an important role
in their speaking. Mkpanang (2016) states that creativity can contain the ability of a person to
think and to imagine. Meanwhile, Trivedi and Bhargava (2010) explain that something to be
done for creativity is to keep and encourage it in order that its appearance can be full and real.
RESEARCH METHODS
This study is a quasi experimental research. Quasi experimental research is done with
the consideration that it is impossible to create an experimental group in the school with a full
control (Amir, 2015). Meanwhile, the independent variables of this study is teaching models,
the attributive variable is students’ creativity), and the dependent variable is students’
speaking skill. The teaching models used in this research were problem-based learning (PBL)
which was implemented in an experimental group and direct instruction which was
implemented in a control group. The design of this research is a simple factorial design 2 x 2.
Population, Sample, and Sampling
It is important for the researcher to determine the population before the sample is
taken and treatments are given. The population of this research was the second semester
students of Non English Departement of Education Faculty of Hasyim Asy’ari University
(UNHASY) in the academic year of 2017/2018. The total number of the population in this
research was 109 students who are divided into 5 classes. Based on the characteristics of the

population, which were grouped into classes, the sample of this research was class or cluster.
There were two classes as the samples of this research. One class was the experimental group
and the other class was the control group. In determining the sample, the researcher took
cluster random sampling because it was impossible to change the classroom arrangement or to
use random assignment. Because of this condition, this research is classified as a quasi
experimental research. Meanwhile, the steps to take the samples in this research were (1)
making a list of the five classes; (2) writing the name of each class on five pieces of paper; (3)
rolling five pieces of paper and then put them into a can and shake the can well; (4) dropping
the two rolled pieces of paper. The next step after getting the two classes was to determine
which class would be the experimental group and the control group by using the lottery. The
number of the students who became the sample in both experimental class and control class in
this research was 40 students. The experimental class consisted of 20 students and the control
classcomprised of 20 students.
Techniques of Data Collection and Data Analysis
The data of this study was collected from creativity test and speaking test. The first
test was conducted to collectthe primary data of the students’ creativity scores. The creativity
test was about the test of making sentences based on given criteria. This test consisted of four
main questions to create sentences. Of all, the students should wrote twenty sentences in
creativity test. The detail of these four main questions were (1) five questions asking the
students to makesentences based on the initial letters of the providedwords; (2) five questions
requesting them to make sentences based on the middle letters of the givenwords; (3) five
questions instructing them to make sentences based on the final letters of the prepared words;
and(4) five questions telling them to make sentences which contained the last words of the
previous sentences.
Thesecond test, i.e.speaking test,was administeredto get the primary data of the
students’ speaking scores. The speaking test was the test of making conversations in English
with their partners. The lecturer provided the topics of the test and the students were able to
choose one of them to be the topic of their conversations with their partners. The testswere
conducted after the students attended four sessions of each treatment and control classes.

There were five indicators of speaking test’s scoring, namely comprehension, vocabulary,
grammar, fluency, and pronunciation.
To check the readability of the tests materials, the researcher administered test to
students outside the treatment and control classes. It was to know the readibility of those two
tests. Meanwhile, the creativity test itself was first validated by two experts. After getting the
result of the preliminary test informing that the creativity test was readable, the creativity test
was distributed and tested to the experimental class and the control class. Then, the scores of
creativity test were used to classify the students into students having high creativity and
students having low creativity. This kind of classification was applied in the experimental
class and the control class. Hence, there were two classifications of students in those two
classes: students who have high creativity and students who have low creativity. The speaking
test also got the same treatment as the creativity test. This speaking test was tested to the other
class to know its readibility before it was distributed and tested to the experimental class and
the control class. Then, the speaking scores were analyzed based on high creativity and low
creativity.
After knowing that the data of students’ speaking skill of students who have high
creativity and students who have low creativity in both the experimental class and the control
class was normal and homogeneous, then the research hypothesis was tested. To test the
research hypothesis, inferential analysis was used. It was also used to test whether the null
hypothesis is accepted or rejected. Ho is rejected if Fo > Ft or Fo is higher than Ft. If Ho is
rejected, the analysis is continued to know the significant difference of mean using Tukey test.
The speaking scores of both the experimental and the control groups were first analyzed using
the F-test ANOVA. The result of data analysis was consulted to the Ft at the significance level
of α = 0.05 to know whether the result is significant or not. If Fo between rows is higher than
Ft at the significance level α = 0.05, the difference between rows is significant. It means that
the students who have high creativity differ significantly from those who have low creativity
in their speaking skill. After that, the data was also analyzed by using Tukey test to know the
significance between rows.
RESULTS & DISCUSSION
The normality and the homogeneity of the data of speaking test of students who have
high creativity and students who have low creativity in both the experimental class and the

control class were firstly analyzed. It was done as the prerequisite before analyzing the data
by using F-test ANOVA. After knowing that the data of the experimental class and the control
class (the data of speaking test scores of students having high creativity and students having
low creativity)were in normal distribution and homogeneous, then the data was analyzed by
using F-test ANOVA. The result is described as follows.
Table 1. Summary of a 2x2 Multifactor Analysis of Variance
Sources of Variances SS df MS Fo Ft
Between Rows (Creativity) 2892.9 1 2892.9 1125.64 4.11
Between Groups 3241.1 3 114.04
Within Groups 92.4 36 2.57
Total 3333.5 39
Based on the table above, it can be seen that Fo between rows (1125.64) is higher than Ft
(4.11) at the level of significance α= 0.05, so that Ho is rejected. This result means that the
difference between rows is significant. Thus, it can be concluded that the difference between
the speaking skill of the students who have high creativity and those who have low creativity
is significant. Because the mean score of speaking test of students who have high creativity
(78.9) is higher than the mean score of speaking test of students who have low creativity
(70.25), thus, it can be said that the students who have high creativity have better speaking
skill than the students who have low creativity. Next, to find the significance of the difference
between rows, the data was analyzed by using Tukey test. The result of Tukey test shows that
qo between rows (50.14) is higher than qt at the level of significance α= 0.05 (2.95). It means
that the difference between rows is significant. Therefore, it can be concluded that the
students who have high creativity in constructing sentences have better speaking skill than
those who have low creativity. The students’ creativity in creating sentences has significant
influence toward their speaking skill.
Based on the above result, it can be said that students’ speaking skill was influenced
by their creativity. Creativity relates to the ideas and products which are unusual, new, and
efective (Runco and Jaeger, 2012). Creativity which is discussed in this study is students’
creativity. It is closely related to their creativity in their learning. In line with this, Lin (2011)
argues that students can learn and think creatively when they are given opportunity to do
8. Mukminatus Zuhriyah, Ria Kamilah Agustina, Maskhurin Fajarina
8
them. Then, creativity which is possessed by students gives a great influence to their ability in
learning, especially in learning to speak. It is because learning to speak requires the students
to be more creative and critical.Thelearning to speak needs the ability to analyze and
determine whether the ideas are appropriate with the topics of conversations or discussions
and whether the vocabularies used are suitable withthe topics of conversations or discussions.
In this case, the students who have high creativity speak better since they have high ability to
analyze and determine the appropriate ideas for their talk. They may also choose
appropriatevocabulary so that they can produce the meaningful and comprehensive
conversations having a lot of argumentations and opinions based on the topics given by the
lecturer.
In addition, Tsai (2012) states that there are some factors affecting creativity, which
can be described as (a) personality traits, (b) knowledge and expertise, (c) motivation and self-
efficacy, (d) learning styles and thinking styles, (e) teaching approaches, (f) assesment and
reward, and (g) environment. Thus, it can be said that the students who have high creativity
have more knowledge and expertise, more motivation and self-efficacy, and more thinking
styles. All those factors make the students who have high creativity become more active in
speaking class. Students having high creativity give more argumentations and opinions during
the speaking class. As the result, the situation of learning speaking in the classroom becomes
more interesting.
Having more knowledges and expertise makes the students who have high creativity
easier to find and get ideas related to the topics of the conversations. They also can understand
the topics of conversations easily. They are able to have conversations with whoever inviting
them to talk. They have ability to join the conversations not only as the information takers but
also as the information givers. That is why more knowledges and expertise that they possess
makes them able to handle the conversations well. The knowledge can be knowledge of the
topics of the conversations, knowledges of vocabularies, which are needed in the
conversations, and knowledges of grammar to make comprehensive and meaningful
sentences, which are produced in the conversations. Knowledges about the topics of the
conversations enable the students to have opinions and argumentatations as well as the
explanations about the topics which are given. Whereas, knowledges of grammar enable the
students to produce the meaningful and comprehensive sentences for the conversations.
Meanwhile, knowledges about the vocabularies make the students able to express and

communicate their feelings, ideas, and thoughts in the right context. Dealing with knowledges
of grammar and vocabulary, Mart (2012) states that the knowledge of vocabulary and
grammar makes the students able to understand the conversations. When the students are able
to understand the conversations, they will be able to create the understandable conversations.
Then, more motivation and self-efficacy which are owned by the students who have
high creativity make them able toenjoy joiningthe speaking class. They are motivated to come
to speaking class. It means that they are voluntarily to join the speaking class, even though
they are non-English Department students and it is obligatory course to take. Besides, they are
also highly motivated to involve in the conversations which were created in the speaking
class. They never feel ashamed of the given topics that they do not fully understand. Thus,
they come to the class with high motivation and self-efficacy to be involved in the speaking
activities. According to Al Othman and Shuqair (2013), the learners’ motivation has great
effect to their willingness to be involved in the learning process.
Additionally, students having high creativity has more thinking styles. According to
Gacar, Altungul, and Nacar (2015), there are five thinking styles: (a) intuitive thinking style,
(b) experiential thinking style, (c) ideational thinking style, (d) conceptual-rational thinking
style, and (e) analytical thinking style. Those thinking styles have close relationship with the
people’s ways to face and solve the problems that they get in their life. Therefore, the students
with high creativity are easily able to find the solutions of the problems in their speaking
class. By having more thinking styles, the ways how the students have the solutions, opinions,
ideas, as well as argumentations in their conversations will be varied. Then, the students are
always curious with the problem solving of the topics of the conversations given. This
condition makes them have high spirit to present their ideas in the speaking class. Besides, the
students are also able to think something new differently with the various ways of thinking
that they have. It makes them easier to understand and adapt every knowledge in whatever the
condition of the learning process is. So that something new that they get and find is not the
problem at all for them. They can adapt and handle this kind of this thing easily. Thus, they
can manage and handle whatever they find and face in their conversations without any doubt.
Meanwhile, students who have low creativity have less knowledge and expertise, less
motivation and self-efficacy, and less thinking styles. They usually are not interested in
joining the teaching and learning process. They just count on the lecturer and their friends and
10. Mukminatus Zuhriyah, Ria Kamilah Agustina, Maskhurin Fajarina
10
are often passive in learning to speak. They seldom give their argumentations and opinions in
their discussions. They follow their friends’ argumentations and opinions without any
objections. Moreover, some of them also just sit, listen to what their friends say, and keep
silent without giving any comments at all. Dealing with this situaation, Adriana, Melendez,
Gandy, Zavala, and Mendez (2014) state that low English level students often experience
shaking, sweating, being silent for long time, sitting back to their seats and not going on their
speaking, or crying because of no word coming out from their mouth when they are asked to
speak. Therefore, it can be concluded that the students having high creativity have better
speaking skill than the students having low creativity. It means that creativity has influence
toward students’ speaking skill.
Having less knowledge and expertise makes the students feel not get through with the
conversations made in the class. They feel know nothing to contribute in that speaking. Then,
they also cannot comprehend the conversations well. They often feel anxious when they are
involved in the teaching and learning process because of their low knowledge. Zhu and Zhou
(2012) states that many students feel anxious when being asked by their teacher to answer
questions. They are afraid if their answers are incorrect.Therefore, what they can do is just
listening and agreeing what their friends talk about. Sometimes they will speak one or two
sentences as far as what they know about the topics of the speaking.
Meanwhile, less motivation and self-eficacy makes the students feel lazy to involve in
the teaching and learning process of speaking in the class. They come to the speaking class
since they are obligated to join. It is because they have already taken this course. That is why
they attend the meeting. Then, they are less motivated to take a part in the class of
conversations.Dislen(2013) states that the students’ motivation is damaged becausetheir self-
confidence and self-esteem are low andtheir anxiety and inhibition are high. When the
students experience those two things, they are absolutely less motivated. Therefore, they are
often just acting as the good listeners by keeping silent or just as the good supporters by
saying one or two sentences of expressing agreements in their conversations.
Less thinking styles that the students have also make them difficult to feel free in
every situation of conversations created in the class. For instance, the students who only can
learn by thinking of what they see, it is very difficult for them to catch and understand
something said by others. The students who only can find ideas while moving their parts of
their bodies, while loittering for instance, they will get difficulty when they are ordered to

express their ideas in their speaking with the setting of a certain place and a certain condition
prohibiting them to have many movements. This kind of students cannot find opinions and
ideas or argumentations as soon as possible in this condition.This case is supportes by Negahi,
Nouri, and Khoram (2015) who explain that styles become the stem of the success and the
failure of the ability. Thinking styles are included in it. That is why less thinking styles make
the students having low creativity fail to have high speaking skill.
Thus, the students who have low creativity tend to have low English level.
Considering with the conditions happening to the students having low English level above, it
is very necessary to encourage those kinds of students to be able to speak English well and
fluently. It can be done by encouraging their creativity related to their English speaking skill.
The questions of creativity test used in this research can be applied to these students. They can
be asked to do the creativity test as much as possible. So that they are accustomed to using
their creative thinking in expressing their feelings, ideas, thoughts, opinions, as well as
argumentations by constructing English sentences. This activity is meant to make them used
to having creative thinking. It is because basically everyone can become creative;being
creative is the potential that is owned by everybody(Lin , 2011).
CONCLUSION
Based on the research result above, it can be inferred that the students who have high
creativity have better speaking skill than those who have low creativity. It happens because
the students who have high creativity have more motivation and knowledge, more self-
efficiacy, more learning styles, and more thinking styles. Because of those, they have high
ability to comprehend the topics of speaking and are able to produce different and meaningful
ideas and opinions as well as argumentations with the appropriate vocabularies and good
grammar. They are able to express what they want to communicate with others fluently. They
have ability to produce the meaningful and understandable sentences in their conversations.
They have logical ideas and opinions when they held discussions with their partners. They are
easy to create comprehensive communications with other people. Thus, it can be known that
students’ creativity has important role in students’ speaking skill. Therefore, it is very crucial
to encourage the creativity of the students in order that the students do not feel difficult in
speaking anymore.

The result of this study shows that thestudents’ creativityinfluences their abilities to
create sentences in speaking classes. The students who have high creativity feel as the right
men in the right place. It means that they are ready to face anything happening to their
speaking class. They are not worried about whatever topics of the speaking that they will get
and find. They have the key to solve every problem taking place. They are strongly motivated
to be included in thespeaking activities. All of those can happen because they have high
creativity. But the creativity in this study is still limited to the creativity of the students to
create sentences based on the instructions provided by the lecturer. That is why it is
recommended for other researchers to explore the other parts of creativity that can influence
the students’ speaking skill. There are still many areas of creativity that can contribute to the
students’ speaking skill. It is suggested to the future researchers to explore those areas relating
to the students’ speaking skill.
