To address this gap, data drawn from a qualitative case study were analyzed to investigate what learner affective engagement with WCF. This study has explored how 22 Indonesian learners engaged affectively with teacher WCF in EFL writing. It examines data collected from students' draft, teacher written corrective feedback, students' reflective journal and semi-structured interviews. The study has found that while the participants' affective engagement was relatively positive, but due to its practical, situational, and emotional attachment between teacher and students, several students were aware that there was an absence of cognitive and communication factor trigger them to perceive negatively on WCF.

This study is designed precisely to identify these issues. The focus of the research in this study is a second grade Junior High School class of 36 students. A qualitative research design was used for this study. Data is gathered through classroom observation and documentation. The findings show that blended learning is unsuccessfully implemented to encourage students' motivation in speaking class because there is an imbalance in the results between online and offline learning. The study also exposes the difficulties that students experience when studying online, such as their inability to use smartphone mobile functions, poor internet connections, and a lack of engagement as well as the teachers' insufficient supervision of such learning to prevent students from concentrating on the learning process.

Further, designed under descriptive qualitative study, twice narrative interviews conducted to gather data of this study. The finding of this study confirmed that the participants initially had common challenges in academic writing, such as developing critical thinking, avoiding plagiarism, sentence structure and few practices or training on academic writing. Critical thinking encompassed their ability to analyse, to evaluate, to infer and to interpret an idea which then reworded into their own. Those shortcomings affected their understanding on how a plagiarism could be avoided or even minimized. Additionally, less understanding on English grammar and lack of academic writing practices were among other challenges found. In terms of academic literacies, it was found that the p...

The target of this study is 70% of total students at class XI IA 1 who are expected to get 65 (based on standard of minimum score of the school). The design of this study is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) that involves four stages, namely: 1) planning, 2) action, 3) observation, 4) reflection. This study is conducted in two cycles because the target has been achieved successfully in which each cycle consists of three meetings. The research data are collected by 1) test, 2) observation sheets, and 3) field note. Based on the data in pre-observation, there were problems in students reading achievement 1) students could not find out specific information of narrative text, 2) they found difficulty to identify main idea of the text, 3) they could not determine the generic structure of narrative text correctly, (4) they did not know the meaning of the text well because they sometimes found unfamiliar words. The result of this study shows that STAD technique as cooperative learning model can improve the students' reading achievement at class XI IA 1 of SMA Negeri 7 Kendari in academic year 2010/2011. It is reflected from the improvement of students' score of reading test in every cycle, in which, at the first cycle, the total number of students who can get the score of ≥ 65 is 18 students or 56.3% of 32 students, with the mean score is 62.2. Moreover, after conducting the first cycle, two problems that identified in the preliminary research can be treated well in which students can find detail information from reading text and they can determine the generic structure of the narrative text. Nevertheless, the target of students' reading achievement has not achieved yet and there are some problems that have not been treated well. Thus, this study is continued AUTHORS INFO ARTICLE INFO
