The ideal way to promote gender equality early on is to guarantee everyone access to a high-quality education. The learning process is greatly aided by textbooks. Through language, visuals, stories, and illustrations, gender content is developed and represented in books. Given that the textbook serves as the primary means of instruction, it is crucial to examine how gender is constructed in <em>Kontakte Deutsch 1</em>, the widely used textbook in Indonesia.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Methodology: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>A descriptive qualitative methodology was used in this study's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach. The research data source was from illustrations, words, and stories in the textbook <em>Kontakte Deutsch 1</em>.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Findings: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>The results showed that male and female figures appeared visually at the same frequency. In categories like social roles, passions, and professional choices, gender equality was noted and portrayed. Inequalities such as stereotyping, gender subordination, and marginalization of gender were still present in a tiny proportion of phrases and narratives.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Conclusion: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>This study demonstrated how the authors of <em>Kontakte Deutsch 1</em> made an effort to advance gender equality principles through linked topics. Gender discrimination only appeared in a minor portion of the story.&nbsp;</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Originality: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>There have been no studies on gender reconstruction in <em>Kontakte Deutsch 1</em>, commonly used in Indonesian high schools. This thorough investigation deepens our understanding of how gender is portrayed in instructional materials and emphasizes the significance of treating all genders equally and respectfully.</p> 2023-10-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Wening Sahayu, Lia Malia, Retna Endah Sri Mulyati, Sulis Triyono, Rahma Kurnia Novitasari, Sulaimon Jamiu Tamitope https://jurnal.fkip-uwgm.ac.id/index.php/Script/article/view/1381 Self-Regulated Learning In Blended Learning Environment 2023-12-03T13:31:26+00:00 Jeane Tuilan jeanetuilan@unima.ac.id <h2><strong><em><u>Background: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>As technology advances and online learning becomes increasingly prevalent, consideration of students' metacognitive skills grows in importance. This study aims to provide insight into the influence of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) on the academic outcomes of English students while examining the dominant component within SRL and assessing whether there is a relationship between the use of SRL and gender.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Methodology: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>The research involved 123 students from the English Department of Universitas Negeri Manado (Unima), located in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. An adjusted questionnaire was utilized in a web-based survey to explore the use of SRL amid blended learning settings.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Findings: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>The statistical analysis revealed a positive relationship between SRL and the learning outcomes of the students in the blended learning environment. In particular, students predominantly used achievement orientation as their SRL component in the blended learning environment, while gender differences in the use of SRL strategies were found to be statistically insignificant.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Conclusion: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>As a result, this study highlights the importance of self-regulated learning in the improvement of student outcomes in a blended learning environment. The prominence of performance orientation is a noteworthy aspect of SRL application. Additionally, the lack of notable gender-based disparities in the utilization of SRL implies a level of equality in the educational setting.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Originality: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>This study aims to fill an important gap in current understanding by exploring the complex relationship between SRLs, gender and blended environments among English language learners. By investigating the dynamics of effective learning strategies in the current digital age, this study aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence academic success and pave the way for targeted educational interventions.</p> 2023-10-10T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Jeane Tuilan https://jurnal.fkip-uwgm.ac.id/index.php/Script/article/view/1422 The Use of Mobile Applications in Digital Project-based Learning to Improve Students’ English Speaking Skill 2023-12-03T13:31:07+00:00 Woro Kusmaryani worokusmaryani@borneo.ac.id Firima Zona Tanjung english_zone@borneo.ac.id <h2><strong><em><u>Background: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>For Indonesian teachers and students alike, learning to speak English is still a significant difficulty. The use of media, especially mobile applications in English language learning can help draw in learners, boost motivation, and encourage creativity.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Methodology: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>Convergent parallel mixed-methods was employed with 40 students as participants in this research. The data used was tests, documents, observation, and interview which analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively through statistical Wilcoxon signed ranks test, coding, and thematic analysis.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Findings: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>Mobile applications used in this research were YouTube, Tiktok, Instagram, Duolingo, Talk, Elsa, Seesaw, Cake, Pixton, Speech to Text, and Capcut. The implementation process was divided into 5 stages; planning stage, implementation stage, evaluation stage, reflection stage, and follow-up stage. The pre-test and post-test results showed that the value of the asymptotic sign (2-tailed) 0.000 &lt; 0.05 indicated that the use of mobile applications could greatly enhance students' speaking skill. The students’ perception showed that mobile applications in the classroom made learning more convenient, students could use them to practice English skills, complete assignments, find out information, or even receive the materials their lecturers offer them.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Conclusion: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>The use of technology, such as mobile applications, can be a useful aid in the study of the English language, giving students more exposures, practices, and individualized instructions.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Originality: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>This research reveals the implementation, effectiveness, and students' perceptions of mobile applications used in digital project-based learning. It is possible to maximize the benefits and minimize the drawbacks.</p> 2023-10-24T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Woro Kusmaryani, Firima Zona Tanjung https://jurnal.fkip-uwgm.ac.id/index.php/Script/article/view/1452 Adopting Project Based Learning in Translation Class to Facilitate Translator Emergent Competences 2023-12-02T13:30:27+00:00 Sugeng Hariyanto sugeng.hariyanto@polinema.ac.id Achmad Suyono achmadsuyono@gmail.com Fitrotul Maulidiyah fitrotulmaulidiyah@polinema.ac.id Kun Mustain kunmustain@gamil.com <h2><strong><em><u>Background: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>The teaching of language-related skills in universities and colleges needs to equip students with relevant skills suitable for work after graduation. One way of building students’ skills to meet the related industry’s demands is by adopting project based learning (PBL) in teaching. There have been several studies on the topic of PBL in translation courses, but none of them have provided a step-by-step classroom procedure.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Methodology: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>The study was a case study to describe the model of project-based learning adopted in the English Department of one Polytechnic in Java island, Indonesia. The object of the study was the Localization and Transcreation class. The data sources included the teacher and 24 sixth-semester students taking the class. Questionnaires and interview were used for the data collection. The questionnaires were used to know the students’ perceived competences. The interview was used to get more information on how the PBL was conducted and students’ further opinion about it. Before a class was started, the students were asked to fill in the provided questionnaire on the status of their competence at the time. Then, the PBL was employed to teach the class. After the PBL was done, the students were asked to fill in the same questionnaire to report their competences at the time. The researcher analyzed the results. Finally, an interview was conducted with the teacher and three students who answered the questionnaire most comprehensively.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Findings: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>The findings of this study show that PBL could be employed to teach translation in vocational higher education and the students saw PBL positively. Based on the students’ opinion, this research found that PBL in the translation class helped students develop their translation skills, teamwork skills, workplace skills, communication skills, and self-confidence.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Conclusion: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>In conclusion, PBL employed in the translation class has shown its effectiveness in improving students’ translation and other&nbsp;competences.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Originality: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>The Ministry of National Education of the Republic of Indonesia has promoted project-based learning. To date, no clear model has been developed for the teaching of translation in Indonesian universities. This article describes project-based learning developed and practiced in a Polytechnic and how students react and the improvement of their competences or skills.</p> 2023-10-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Sugeng Hariyanto, Achmad Suyono, Fitrotul Maulidiyah, Kun Mustain https://jurnal.fkip-uwgm.ac.id/index.php/Script/article/view/1444 Interactions of Novice Researchers with Journal Reviewers: Exploring Recommendations on Academic Writing 2023-12-02T13:30:11+00:00 Dzul Rachman dr650@umkt.ac.id <p><strong>Background</strong>: <br>Journal reviewers play a crucial role in disseminating research findings, but novice researchers often struggle with their feedback. This study explores how novice researchers engage with journal reviewer feedback.<br><strong>Methodology</strong>: <br>This study is part of a larger research project examining novice researchers' publishing attitudes and practices in an English as a foreign language (EFL) setting. A case study approach was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of how novice researchers engage with journal reviewer feedback. Interviews, conducted in Bahasa Indonesia, were the primary data source, supplemented with textual data, including manuscripts and response letters.<br><strong>Findings</strong>: <br>Novice researchers engage with feedback behaviorally, affectively, and cognitively. Affective responses vary based on feedback nature and prior experience. They appreciate positive feedback but find rejections frustrating. Personal judgment influences how they value feedback.<br><strong>Conclusion</strong>: <br>Novice researchers diligently address all feedback despite emotional fluctuations. This reveals a disconnect between their affective and behavioral domains. The study emphasizes the importance of active engagement with reviewer feedback in the scholarly publication process.<br><strong>Originality</strong>: <br>This research fills a gap in understanding novice researchers' interactions with journal reviewer feedback, emphasizing the role of experience and personal judgment. It contributes to the literature on student engagement with feedback in academic writing.</p> 2023-10-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 dzul rachman https://jurnal.fkip-uwgm.ac.id/index.php/Script/article/view/1441 Problems Faced by English Teacher Candidates in Developing Test Kits for Assessing Students’ Learning 2023-12-02T13:30:46+00:00 Ari Purnawan ari_purnawan@uny.ac.id Asfar Arif Nurharjanto asfararif@uny.ac.id Annisa Nurul Ilmi annisa.nurul.ilmi@uny.ac.id <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Background:</strong></span> <br>Learning assessment has been left behind compared to other components of teaching such as instructional methods or media development.

The study aimed at examining English Speaking course lecturers’ perception of Moodle-based LMS. Two important questions to dig out lecturers’ perceptions included supporting features in Moodle LMS preferred by lecturers in Speaking courses and how they perceive Moodle as the main LMS for Speaking courses.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Methodology: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>Qualitative descriptive was utilized. Three Speaking course lecturers of English Language Education Department were selected based on some criteria. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data. The interview questions covered benefits of Moodle-based LMS in speaking class, support of LMS in learning speaking and learning autonomy, and possible problems during the use of LMS. The data were then transcribed into textual forms and analyzed narratively.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Findings: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>Several menus preferred by lecturers were assignment, page, and quiz. There were also less preferred menus on Moodle, including video conference, attendance, and writing-oriented activities (i.e., chat and forum) menus. It is also found that participants held both positive and negative views towards Moodle.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Conclusion: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>Major findings of the study suggest that Moodle offered a number of menus that were considered beneficial for the participants in conducting their classes. Generally, they also held positive perceptions towards the LMS and suggest some room for improvement for the LMS.</p> <h2><strong><em><u>Originality: </u></em></strong></h2> <p>Little attention has been paid to Moodle-based LMS is carried out and the lecturers’ perception on its implementation in the speaking classes. Thus, the current study is deemed necessary.</p> 2023-10-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Rosalin Ismayoeng Gusdian https://jurnal.fkip-uwgm.ac.id/index.php/Script/article/view/998 Social Semiotic of Covid-19 Health Protocol: Systemic Functional Linguistics 2023-12-03T13:30:32+00:00 I Ketut Suardana suardanate920@gmail.com <p><strong>Background:</strong> <br>Covid-19 is viewed as multimodality, it can be analyzed from many lives aspects point of view. This research analyzed Covid-19 health protocol from Systemic Functional Linguistics perspective. The data were taken in Denpasar from 2020 to 2021 in non-verbal language such as; using masker, using face shield, washing hand, working from home, and keeping distance. The theory used for this research is the theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics proposed by Halliday and Ruqaiya, related to social semiotic. In addition, there are two theories used to support the analysis, namely theory of sign proposed by Peirce and theory of maxim proposed by Grice.<br><strong>Methodology:</strong> <br>The research employed qualitative research, phenomenology research. The researcher observed communities’ health protocols to find the data. The data were taken in Denpasar from 2020 to 2021 in connotative references by non-verbal language.<br><strong>Findings:</strong> <br>The result of the research is presented in description. The research suggested that (i) Using masker is interpreted that we must control what we speak. What we speak must have correlation with Grice’s maxims theory. (ii) Using face shield is associated with thinking positively. We must think positively in every phenomenon. (iii) Washing hands means that we must use our hand based on the right function. (iv) Working from home is interpreted that we have to improve our selves through learning and studying. (v) Keeping distance is associated that we have to focus on what we want to achieve.<br><strong>Conclusion:</strong> <br>The ideology of social behaviors represents that we have to follow the moral values embedded in such non-verbal language to get harmony. The findings of the texts are (i) the text belongs to motivation to get harmonies in the life, (ii) the text teaches us how to get success, and (iii) the reference of the signs is categorized rheme. The text is categorized as procedural text. <br><strong>Originality:</strong> <br>The research is hoped to be able to give the meaning of health protocol performance by social semiotics approach.</p> 2023-10-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 I Ketut Suardana
