 AbstractRecount can be considered as one of the easiest types of text that can be written by students. This might be the reason why the text is learned in both junior and senior high school level. However, there are still a lot of students who cannot produce the text well. This study was aimed to analyze student’s recount text based on three metafunctions in SFL perspective. It is expected that by identifying students’ problems, teachers can decide and design appropriate pedagogical plan. The result of the study reveals that the student’s major problems in producing recount text are the use of subject and verb tense (interpersonal metafunctions), the generic structure of the text, the use of conjunctions, the grammatical errors, and L1 interference. Therefore, considering the problems found in the student’s recount text, POWER strategy is proposed as one of strategies can be applied by teachers in teaching writing, particularly teaching recount text. Keywords: recount text, systemic functional linguistics, metafunction, POWER strategy

This teaching note describes how using the requirement of a literature review helped students become critical thinkers. Literature reviews, as assignments, are often difficult for students because of the need for intense writing, analysis, and evaluation. As part of a larger assignment, students read 7 to 10 research articles and discussed them in class. The students were then assigned the task of writing their own literature reviews using the same research articles. The authors explain how using the practice of critical reading and critical writing helped students engage their review of the literature with a critical thinking mindset.

This study analyzed eight Taiwanese English as a foreign language student teachers’ metaphors to explore their self and professional identity. This study has four major findings. First, metaphor writing was able to reveal important information about student teachers’ professional identities. Second, in terms of teaching demonstrations, metaphors written by those who taught and those who observed were different, being seen as variously as an “adventure” or a “carousel,” for instance, due to their different teaching and learning experiences. Third, their metaphors or metaphor discussions were not in-depth revelations of their understanding and knowledge of English language teaching. Fourth, these participants held positive attitudes toward metaphor writing, analysis, and discussion as “useful for reflection.”
