AbstractThe breakthrough in Information Communication Technology (ICT) has brought new opportunities to restructure language learning. At present, ICT has opened new avenues and brought new challenges for language learners and also teachers. The responsibility of the learning task has shifted towards students and this has dramatically changed the role of the teacher. However, it should be noted that modern language teachers determine the quality of the learning process, not ICT itself. This paper tries to highlight the potential of ICT as a powerful tool for teaching foreign languages and the effect of this technology on second language learning. The community service program emphasizes the use of the Lets Read link as a forum to find teaching materials for Excellent Course teachers. Along with the development of technology as it is today, teachers must also be more flexible in finding teaching materials for their students, especially in learning English. Therefore, it is necessary for teachers to know useful links that can be used in learning in their class.Keywords: Language Learning, ICT, Let’s Read Application  AbstrakTerobosan Teknologi Komunikasi Informasi (TIK) telah membawa peluang baru untuk merestrukturisasi pengaturan pembelajaran / pengajaran bahasa.

Second language learning requires more than memorizing rules and vocabulary detached from contexts. Language teachers have to encourage the exposure to real context to enable their students to ‘acquire' the language in the same way they acquire their first language. This could entail an unconscious induction called ‘analogy'. Analogy may enable language learners to create neologisms for the purpose of communicating. This could also enable them to obtain a better understanding of lexical items in context. This chapter highlights the benefits of direct exposure to neologisms in journalistic texts, which influences learners' morphological choice. Mass media in general and journalism in particular are thought to be a perfect means of learning any language in its natural context.

Novel Concept

Motivational surges in language learning occur when a number of personal and contextual parameters come together to induce intense and long-term motivational experiences. In the second language learning literature, this phenomenon is known as the directed motivational current (Dörnyei, Muir, & Ibrahim, 2014). As a novel concept in the field, little is known about what might induce this extraordinary motivational surge. The current study empirically examined the parameters of nine participants who provided accounts of the conditions around the initial stages of their motivational currents. The qualitative analysis found that five factors triggered the motivational currents in the participants: emergent opportunities, negative emotion, moments of realization/awakening, new information, and meeting others who shared the goal. The study also revealed two main conditions necessary for a DMC to begin: goal/ambitions and perceived feasibility. The final section of this paper presents practical implications of the current findings in relation to how second language teachers and educators might benefit from the findings to help incite motivational surges in their language learners.

<p>Exposure real life language experiences forms an integral part of the acquisition process. Authentic materials – those derived from the culture of the target language rather than specially produced for language learners – increase the relevance of the learning experience by reusing texts taken directly from the target culture. Web 2.0 technologies increase opportunities for bringing authentic materials into formal language learning environments by allowing material to be collected, reused and shared amongst language teachers and learners. This paper aims to look at the role of blogs in facilitating the use of authentic material by English language teachers and learners and the impact of the most authoritative blogs in the wider Web and in Social Media.</p><p>To reach this objective, the blog ranking site Technorati was used to select the most popular blogs for English language learners and teachers and each blog was analysed according to the authenticity of the cultural material used for language learning. The analysis reveals that 100% of the material on 56.25% of the blogs selected was authentic material and over 70% of the material on a further 35.3% of blogs was authentic.</p><p>Secondly, the impact of these blogs in the wider Web and Social Media was measured in order to draw some conclusions regarding the role of language learning blogs outside the world of blogging and the communities they serve and provide an image of the relationship between blogs and bloggers, the Web and Social Media.</p><p>The results show an inherent bias within Web 2.0 technologies towards providing contemporary authentic material for language learning – the technology itself encourages its use – and that sometimes blogs can have an impact beyond their communities through the Web and Social Media.</p>

Most young learners love craft projects, whether it's drawing, coloring, or creating. For this reason, many language teachers have incorporated craft projects into their classes. Although craft activities are enjoyable, there is a real risk that very little language acquisition may take place, if the planning and realization of the craft in class is not carefully carried out with language as a priority. This chapter will explain the benefits of incorporating craft projects within a second language learning curriculum and how these activities can be adapted to maximize language acquisition. There will be a clear explanation of the pedagogical background to incorporating craft projects as well as detailed descriptions of the types of craft projects that might be the most effective, and how to adapt craft projects to incorporate some of the best practices of teaching English to young learners.

Missed Opportunity

Abstrak Tujuan dari komunikasi adalah untuk mendapatkan pesan dari orang lain secara jelas dan tidak ambigu. Melakukan komunikasi memerlukan usaha dari pengirim maupun penerima. Proses komunikasi dapat terganggu dengan adanya kesalahan, sehingga pesan akhirnya  disalah-tafsirkan  oleh  penerima.  Ketika gangguan tersebut tidak terdeteksi, hal ini dapat menimbulkan kebingungan, usaha yang sia- sia dan  kesempatan  yang  hilang.  Kenyataannya, Komunikasi akan sukses  bila kedua pihak memahami informasi yang sama sebagai hasil dari komunikasi. Jadi, dapat diasumsikan bahwa pendekatan  yang  dapat  menciptakan  situasi pembelajaran bahasa kedua (asing), terutama dalam kemampuan komunikasi lisan adalah dalam bentuk pragmatic. Tulisan ini mencoba membahas alasan mengapa ada nilai dalam pembelajaran pragmatic secara eksplisit pada pembelajar bahasa kedua (L2) dalam target bahasa. Pentingnya isu dalam gagasan pragmatic sangat dipertimbangkan, termasuk dalam menentukan kontribusi pragmatic dalam mendukung kemampuan berbicara siswa, bagaimana mempersiapkan pembelajar bahasa dalam memahami hubungan pragmatic dan fungsi bahasa dalam terma komunikasi yang dapat diterima, dan peranan sintaksis dan semantic dalam mem fasilitasi pembelajaran pragmatik---Abstract The purpose of communication is to get the message across to others clearly and unambiguously. Doing this involves effort from both the sender of the message and the receiver. And it's a process that can be fraught with error, with messages often misinterpreted by the recipient. When this isn't detected, it can cause tremendous confusion, wasted effort and missed opportunity. In fact, communication is only successful when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information as a result of the communication. So, it is assumed that the approach which can creat the situation of second language learning, especially oral communication skill is pragmtics. This paper discusses a rationale why there is value in explicitly learning pragmatics for second-language (L2) learners in the target language. The importance of issues in the notion of pragmatics is considered, including determining the contribution of pragmatics in supporting the students’ speaking skill, how to preapre the language learners understand the relation of pragmatics and language functions in the term of acceptable communication, and the role of syntax and semantics in facilitating the learning of pragmatics.

Social Effort

Abstract Language learning is an interactive, social effort and the role of grammar is no longer focused. Nowadays we consider most language learners to be pluricultural beings aiming at communicative language competence (cf. CEFR 2018) in another language. The role of grammar, thus, plays a subordinate role. Authentic language usage requires the analysis of authentic dialogues (via the Mixed Game Model, MGM) and awareness-raising regarding the phenomenon of language transfer (via Crosslinguistic-influence approaches). These two approaches will be merged within the article – addressed to linguists as well as language teachers.

Transfer Strategies

<p><em>This article focuses on the notion of 'simplification' in language learning from the perspective of the learner and that of the teacher. Instead of using the term to refer to a learning and communication strategy whereby learners drop certain linguistic elements, we believe that it can be reserved for the caretakers and language teachers who 'simplify' their language to communicate with the learners. The learners' use of a reduced system is due either to cognitive limitations or the use of various learning and communication strategies which lead to the omission, insertion, substitution or mis-ordering of linguistic elements. Language learners use interlingual and intralingual transfer strategies in an attempt to facilitate the task of learning and communicating in the target language. Omission of linguistic elements is not intended to 'simplify' the language. The linguistic elements that learners add due to transfer may be more than those they omit. Hence, linguistic simplification by caretakers and language teachers needs to be distinguished from the simplification of the learning task by the learners</em>.</p>

External Pressures

One of the most important Laws of Learning is the Law of Readiness. It is a big challenge for the teachers to kindle a strong desire in pupils to learn English Language swiftly which is not their Native Language. Motivation plays a very important role in the process of learning a Language. Intrinsic Motivation is a kind of motivation that comes from inside. Extrinsic Motivation emanates from external pressures such as essential for job or any other obligation. The differential success of ESL learner proffers us to examine the strategies utilized by successful Language Learners. The teachers can help students improve their performance laying more focus on learning strategies which proved fruitful. Language teachers can effectively teach by virtue of developing interest in students for Language Learning. Passion is very key to Motivation. Passion establishes a link between intrinsic goals and aspirations. Successful Language Learning can be achieved by means of passion. The role of ELT teacher is to devise ways and means to connect to this Passion. Learners need quality instruction, feedback, interaction and chance to have progress and to maintain Motivation for Language Learning as well. A good instructor must utilize the sources of Intrinsic Motivation to establish a connection with Extrinsic factors that can be brought to a classroom setting. It is also very significant for instructors to identify student’s motives and needs etc and thereby evolving proper motivational strategies. Motivation may erode during designing a Language course. The Teachers have to bear in mind that Learners differ in interest expectations from one another.
