Literacy Activity

During the Covid-19 Pandemic, children had a lot to learn from their parents because learning activities at school were carried out using a distance learning model. This situation creates many problems for parents, one of the problem is parents must have extensive knowledge and good writing literacy skill. This is where the cooperation program in writing literacy carried out by Wadas Kelir Literacy Community Purwokerto with MI Al- Falah UM East Jakarta be important solution in the field of community literacy. The writing literacy activity model for parents was developed in four interesting writing literacy activities. First, performative, carried out through conditioning reading and writing activities using language by parents through collaboration of Wadas Kelir Literacy Community and teachers of MI Al-Falah UM East Jakarta. Second, functional, conditioning parents to accustomed use written language to express their daily activity. Third, Informational, give skill for parents to access the knowledge from various sources with language and provide good reading technique in order to understand the scientific concept properly. Fourth, epistemic, provide skill in transforming  knowledge in writing so that parents can write well. AbstrakDi masa Pandemi Covid-19 ini telah mengkondisikan anak-anak untuk banyak belajar dengan orang tua, karena kegiatan belajar di sekolah dilakukan dengan model pembelajaran jarak jauh. Keadaan ini menimbulkan banyak persoalan bagi orang tua dan sekolah, salah satunya adalah persoalan komunikasi. Literasi dipandang sebagai sarana yang dapat digunakan untuk memperoleh dan mengkomunikasikan informasi. Di sinilah, program kerja sama yang dilakukan Komunitas Literasi Wadas Kelir Purwokerto dengan MI Al Falah UM Jakarta Timur menjadi solusi penting dalam mengatasi persoalan yang dihadapi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi kegiatan literasi orang tua selama mendampingi belajar anak di rumah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskripsi kualitatif sebagai cara mengeksplorasi model kegiatan literasi orang tua yang dikembangkan dalam empat kegiatan literasi menulis yang menarik, yaitu (1) Performative, pengkondisikan kegiatan membaca dan menulis menggunakan bahasa yang dilakukan oleh orang tua; (2) Functional, mengkondisikan orang tua untuk terbiasa menggunakan bahasa tulis untuk mengekspresikan kegiatan sehari-harinya; (3) Informational, memberikan keterampilan pada orang tua untuk bisa mengangkes pengetahuan dari berbagai sumber dengan bahasa dan memberikan teknik-teknik cara membaca yang baik agar memahami benar konsep ilmu pengetahuan yang disajikan; (4) Epistemic, memberikan keterampilan dalam mentransformasi pengetahuan dalam tulisan sehingga orang tua bisa menulis dengan baik.

A Current

There is a tendency of cases in transforming spoken and written language. A current debate was proposed about the role. This debate derives from current phenomenon which shows evidence which is related with learner mastery in the particular skills. Some learners are able to produce spoken form of language fluently, however, when it comes to writing, it is seen that they find difficulties and get disturbance to put down ideas and elaborate the ideas into a good writing.  Hence, two questions arise. First, to what extent is the nature of spoken and written language? Second, what are strategies to help learners in transforming their spoken language to the written production? Therefore, this article is proposed to explain the nature of spoken and written language and present any strategies to help learners in transforming their spoken language into the written forms.

Literacy Activity

This report presents the results of the development of a methodological approach to provide empirical evidence that family literacy programs “work.” The assessment techniques were developed within the action research project Literacy for Life (LFL) that the authors designed and delivered for 12 months, working collaboratively with three different cohorts of immigrant and refugee families in western Canada. The goal was to develop valid and reliable measures and analyses to measure the impact on literacy skill and knowledge in a particular version of a literacy program that incorporated real-world literacy activities into instruction for low-English-literate adults and their prekindergarten children, ages 3 to 5. The authors offer this approach to assessment as a promising way to measure the impact of socially situated literacy activity that requires taking the social context of literacy activity into account. They offer this work not as the answer to the challenge of documenting the value of working with families and literacy, but as one way to think about focusing curriculum and assessment within programs that validate the real lives of the participants and build bridges between those lives and literacy work within family literacy programming.

This study describes the development of an innovative multimedia application and examines teacher perceptions of its usefulness in assisting students with imagery deficit to visualize the reading comprehension. Students with good reading skills can easily create mental representations from oral or written language, and their sensory system quickly brings parts to whole through imagery. Students with deficiency may have trouble creating images due to their sensory information from imagery is slow and dull, and they often get stuck on parts and pieces. Those unable to image what they read usually cannot understand and remember what they read, which is consistent with the referential connection between the verbal and visual symbolic systems according to the Dual-Coding Theory. This application helps students to develop the capacity to build mental images sentence by sentence. The students engage a touch screen to draw a picture associated with the meaning of each sentence. With the sentences hidden or pictures shuffled, they select and describe each picture in sequence to retell the story. Pictures can be saved to analyze students’ learning outcomes and needs. Teacher perceptions indicate their willingness to integrate this application into reading instruction to help improve reading comprehension of students with imagery deficit.

Research in the past decades repeatedly revealed university students’ struggles to properly understand physical chemistry concepts. In contrast to school, tertiary teaching relies heavily on the symbolic level, mainly applying abstract representations such as equations and diagrams. To follow the lessons and generate conceptual understanding, students need to connect those representations with macroscopic and submicroscopic aspects of the scientific concept depicted. For German first-year chemistry students, this increase in abstraction in a major subject of study contributes to excessive demand and demotivation (especially during out-of-class learning) and increases the risk of early dropouts. We designed a simulation-based learning environment (BIRC: Bridging Imagination and Representation in Chemistry) to suit the needs of first-year students and support them when learning physical chemistry at home. Our approach, featuring molecular dynamics simulations, requires students to assess their own mental models on the submicroscopic level and connect them to equations and diagrams on the symbolic level. Prior studies did already highlight the potential of individual BIRC learning units to foster conceptual understanding on specific topics. In this paper, we investigate if and how students of a broader sample use these learning activities as voluntary supplement beside regular coursework. During the term, we used think-aloud protocols, interviews and eight online questionnaires to analyse students’ mental and emotional interaction while working on BIRC, assessing whether students perceived BIRC as a suitable, enjoyable and supportive resource to enhance learning. Via two paper & pencil achievement tests we examined students’ retention concerning submicroscopic mental models and their ability to connect these mental models with symbolic representations 5–10 weeks later. Our findings indicate a cognitively engaging, comparably enjoyable learning process, which strengthens conceptual understanding and – despite the necessary time and effort – induces a broad number of students to voluntarily work on several units at home.

This roundtable addresses how three Norwegian writing centres – in different stages of their establishment and settled within different constitutional frames – handle staff policy and aims to facilitate academic writing to their main users; students and PhD candidates. We will structure the discussion around four main themes that we juggle in our daily work:  Using strategic plans to promote academic writing development and student throughput Co-creating learning activities with and for MA students Keeping up with the Library and Faculty Strengthening and further developing academic writing in Higher Education Attendees at the roundtable will be invited to discuss and participate in a dialogue on the way in which writing centres can improve the students’ and PhD candidates’ writing process; why we find teaching and preaching academic writing to be an important skill, and how we can co-create learning activities in libraries and writing centres with academic staff and students. We will also discuss the issue of legitimacy, and  what it takes to move writing centre activities from the periphery to the centre of the institution and its pedagogical mission. The audience will leave with ideas and inspirations on how to facilitate and build good writing centres in collaboration between staff, librarians and experienced students.

Abstract: Reading ability of explanation text of grade VIII SMP students did not fulfill the MMC. The students were less enthusiastic in reading comprehension. Moreover, the learning method was still fetched up all standing  in lecturing method. The students were passive, they just listened to what the teacher delivered. This fact encouraged teachers to develop the learning methods which stimulated students’ interest in reading explanation text. The researcher made serious  effort to apply the Inside Outside Circle learning model. The aim was to improve learning activities and reading ability of explanation text. The object of this research was the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Mojoanyar Mojokerto. The method in this study used two cycles, each cycle consisting of four stages, namely planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. The research instrument used tests and non-tests. The results of the study in the Inside Outside Cicle model were: (1) the average level of learning activity was 60.00% (quite active category), to 86.88% (active category), an increase of 26.88%, (2) the average value -The class average of 72.53 becomes 77.69, an increase of 7.57%, (3) students whose grades are low, there is an increase in the value of 30.43%, (4) the number of students who achieve very good reading skills increases by 3.13%, ( 5) completeness of student learning increased  21.88%. From this, it can be seen that there is an increase in student learning activities from being less active in reading to being more active. Meanwhile, the increase in reading skills can be seen from the increase of test scores. Thus the application of the Inside Outside Circle learning model can improve learning activities and reading ability of Explanation text.

Teaching reading a second or foreign language receives a special focus. Some students of foreign language give the most important goal. They get the information through reading, as like newspaper, books, article, etc. good reading text also provide good writing models. So it needs strategies in order to get the best value in the process and the final output. Some strategies are proposed by the expert, but we should select where the appropriate to teach on the students. The aim of the study is to know what the best way to teach reading comprehension students as a second or foreign language is. It is important because nowadays, there are many book sources that use English as their language. This article will discuss (1) the strategies for reading comprehension, (2) the understanding of reading comprehension and teaching reading comprehension. The finding of the study show that the way of teaching reading comprehension is different; and it must adopt the strategy of reading comprehension of the students.

SummaryThe paper aims to present the first pedagogic corpus of Lithuanian i.e. monolingual specialized corpus, prepared for learning and teaching Lithuanian in a foreign language classroom. The corpus has been collected as a result of the project “Lithuanian Academic Scheme for International Cooperation in Baltic Studies”. It is motivated by the need to have a more appropriate resource which could be representative, authentic and relevant enough concerning the process of learning and teaching Lithuanian as it is known that language represented in other existing corpora of Lithuanian (e.g. Corpus of Contemporary Lithuanian, 140 m tokens) is too complex to use for learning activities. The pedagogic corpus includes authentic Lithuanian texts, selected using such criteria as a learner-relevant communicative function and genre. Spoken language as well as written language are represented in the corpus. The size of the corpus is 669.000 tokens: 111.000 tokens from texts and spoken language for A1–A2 levels, 558.000 tokens from texts and spoken language for B1–B2 levels (according to the CEFR – Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). In this paper, we aim to discuss in detail the written subpart of the corpus (containing 620.000 tokens) which includes levelled texts from coursebooks and unlevelled texts from other sources. The level-appropriate labels were assigned automatically to the texts from other sources and this text classification procedure is presented in the paper. The texts from coursebooks and other sources could be classified into 29 text types (dialogs, narratives, information, etc.) and 4 groups according to the communicative aims: informational texts, educational texts, advertising and fiction. Informational texts comprise the biggest part of the corpus; three mostly represented text types differ in coursebook texts and other sources: the most common coursebook texts are informational, narratives, and dialogs (appr. 78% of all coursebook texts). Texts from other sources are represented with richer diversity – appr. 73% of all texts from this subpart can be classified into 5 text types: subtitles, informational texts, educational texts, fiction, and advisory texts. The future work making pedagogic corpus available for learners and its possible application are presented in the closing remarks.
