Communication is essential in studying Arabic as a foreign language to make the lesson interactive. This research aimed to identify and assess three aspects. First, the Teacher Talk (TT) interaction feature appeared in the Arabic Education Study Program, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, Raden Intan State Islamic University of Lampung. Second, each lecturer's primary type of TT interaction element. Third, the utilization of code-switching as a component of bilingual learning interactions. This research was a case study of three Arabic lecturers (T1, T2, and T3) who used Google Meets to conduct online learning. Each lecturer was videotaped three times and then examined using Miles and Huberman's qualitative approach. The findings of the L2 investigation demonstrate that 1) T1 produced twelve different types of interaction features. Furthermore, T2 produced eleven different types of interaction features. Finally, T3 produced twelve different types of interaction features. 2) The most dominant TT interaction features in the classrooms by T1 was Scaffolding (18.2 percent), T2 was Display Questions (24.6 percent), and T3 was Confirmation Check (23.1 percent). 3) In the context of bilingual classes, this study also found that L2 lecturers used other interaction features to facilitate interaction, namely code-switching from Arabic (L2) to Indonesian (L1) and vice versa. The total occurrence of code-switching by T1 was 9.1 percent (the least), code-switching by T2 was 27.3 percent, and code-switching by T3 was 63.6 percent (the most dominant). Code-switching can be an excellent alternate approach or interaction tool for facilitating communication in the classroom when learning Arabic; nevertheless, it must be used appropriately and proportionally.

This research aims to understand the extent of the students’ participation to join the lectures during the Covid-19 pandemic, that requires the lectures to be conducted through online system. In such a condition Inquary-based learning is selected as an appropriate method of learning, in which the students’ independence is needed. The researchers conducted a case study on the application of inquiry-based learning, especially in the subject of Structure-Grammar, at the English Study Program, Academy of Foreign Language St. Pignatelli Surakarta In the implementation of this method the students are expected to be autonomous learners who must be aware of themselves that they need particular knowledge and consequently, with their own accord they will find any sources from both reference-books and scientific webs. The role of the lecturer is to guide them in such a way that they master the minimum requirements. The research results show that the students of Semester II give 66.66% of positive response, and those of Semester IV 73.55%. There are more than 25 % of students who do not give positive participation to the lectures due to  several obstacles, namely the lack of smart phones, adequate computers or internet access. Although the results are not so satisfying, they can be used as a reference for autonomous learning.

This article presents a detailed history of the development of a particular immersion program to teach English to young Polish students. The program draws support from two organizations, the Kościuszko Foundation and the Polish Scouting Organization. Kościuszko Foundation is dedicated to strengthening the ties between the United States and Poland as well as to increase knowledge of Poland’s history and culture in the United States. The cooperation of these two organizations developed an experience of immersion in language and cultural exchange. Both the teachers and the students in this program benefited from the opportunity to engage in a number of different types of language activities and cultural events through a summer camp experience. This program is, of course, unique, but the elements of context, culture and immersion could be used in other programs to develop English skills and knowledge in the context American culture.

RÉSUMÉ. Dans le cas des langues en contact, l’emploi d’alternance codique par des enseignants et des apprenants devient un objet de discussion dans des institutions scolaires. L’objectif de ce travail est d’examiner le phénomène d’alternance codique en classe de français langue étrangère pour évaluer son influence sur l’enseignement/apprentissage du français langue étrangère dans le contexte ghanéen. Les données sont recueillis à travers l’observation des cours de français et les résultats sont analysés et représentés graphiquement.  Les résultats ont montrés que l’alternance de code en classe de français langue étrangère promeut la communication et facilite l’interaction  entre les enseignants et les apprenants. L’attention est prêtée au cas où le français est introduit pour la première fois en classe afin de faire ressortir des problèmes que font face les apprenants. L’alternance codique est donc important pour l’enseignement/ apprentissage du français langue étrangère et doit être inclus dans des programmes d’études de français au Ghana. Mots-clés : alternance de code, interaction, langue étrangère, phénomène sociolinguistique,  situation bilingue. ABSTRACT. In regard to languages coming into contact, the use of code-switching on the part of language facilitators and the learners has become an issue of discussion especially in the school setting. This paper sets out to examine critically the code switching phenomenon to ascertain its effects and necessity on the teaching and learning of French as a foreign language in Ghana. Data was collected through classroom observation while lectures were going on and the result was analyzed and represented in table form. The findings show that language switching in a classroom helps and supports the learning environment and makes it conducive for those involved. A careful consideration of code switching is done mostly at the level where the French language is introduced for the first time. The outcome of this paper suggests that code switching is important to the teaching and learning of French language and it must be adopted in our curriculum of studies. Keywords: bilingual situation, code switching, foreign language, interaction, sociolinguistic phenomenon

Maritime Education Institutions need support and encouragement for the development of bilingual programs for cadets or seafarers in general in the future. So far, English, which is a foreign language in Indonesia, is still considered as a barrier to seafarers' communication on ships, especially on ships owned by foreign companies. The research design used in this study included mixed methods: quantitative surveys conducted on final semester of Nautical cadets, field observations and interviews with lecturers and the cadets. This study aims to explore the perceptions of the cadets and the lecturers about learning in English in relation to the bilingual teaching in the classroom. Some of the courses in the Nautical Study Program have been taught in English and Indonesian or bilingual. Some lecturers have an ability to teach bilingual and able to develop good methods of delivery so that the target of understanding the substance of learning materials can be met.
