To address the decline in students' interest in reading, the English Department can implement several strategies. The Times highlights that incorporating audiobooks into school curricula can engage students who might be reluctant to read traditional print, as audiobooks often spark interest in literature and aid comprehension. Additionally, The Times suggests that parents and educators should model reading behavior and create environments rich in books to encourage reading habits among teenagers. Furthermore, Laredo Morning Times reports on innovative events like transforming school libraries into café-style settings, allowing students to sample and rate books in a relaxed atmosphere, thereby making reading more interactive and enjoyable. Lastly, the Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI) framework emphasizes integrating reading with hands-on activities and science concepts, which has been shown to increase students' motivation and comprehension. By implementing these approaches, the English Department can effectively rekindle students' passion for reading.
ReplyDeleteA local school has reported that students are losing interest in reading. How can the English Department help revive their love for books?
ReplyDeleteAccording to Elena Aguilar of Edutopia, she is a teacher and she gives some advice on how any teacher, teaching any subject, can participate in this mission, and how parents and administrators can help.
1. Encourage students to socialize around reading.
Create book clubs, reading groups, literature circles. Many students (especially boys) need to interact with each other around texts. This will increase their comprehension and make it much more enjoyable. Adults know it (we join book clubs and spend hours on Goodreads), so let's help kids to have this experience too.
2. Share your reading experience.
Share with colleagues, friends and students. Tell them what you've read, what you got or learned from the books, what you recommend.
As we have learned and understood before, young learners or children are very sensitive to the environment and their development is also influenced by their environment. If parents and teachers give good examples and directions about reading and encourage them according to their interests, they will have an interest in reading.

Problem:
1. A local school has reported that students are losing interest in reading. How can the English Department help revive their love for books?
Solution:
To encourage young learners (ages 6–12) to love reading, the English Department can use fun and interactive methods that make books enjoyable.
1. Use Picture Books and Interactive Storytelling
Young learners are more attracted to colorful illustrations and engaging stories. Teachers can use picture books and interactive storytelling techniques like acting out characters or using puppets. According to Ellis & Brewster (2014), storytelling enhances language skills and motivation in children.
2. Create a Fun Reading Corner
A cozy and colorful reading space with cushions, posters, and a variety of books can make reading more inviting. This aligns with Krashen’s (2004) idea that a comfortable reading environment fosters motivation.
3. Incorporate Songs and Rhymes
Many children enjoy learning through songs and rhymes. Using phonics songs, rhyming books, and chants makes reading fun and helps with word recognition (Nation, 2001).
I chose case study no. 4 To help young students who struggle with academic writing, some suitable innovative methods can be applied. Firstly, collaborative learning approaches can be very beneficial, such as getting students to work in small groups to share ideas and discuss topics they are interested in. The use of technology can also enhance the learning experience; for example, apps like Google Docs allow them to collaborate and edit their writing simultaneously. The storyboarding method can be used to help students plan their stories or essays by drawing pictures or creating diagrams that show the storyline. In a more playful context, project-based teaching - where students are asked to write about a topic they are passionate about or create their own storybook - can capture interest and increase motivation. Showing simple and interesting writing samples and analyzing them together also teaches important elements of writing. Encouraging daily writing exercises, even if it's just a few sentences or pictures, can help them build habits and confidence. Provide positive and supportive feedback to help them understand how to improve their writing. Finally, the use of simple mind mapping will help young students organize their ideas in a fun and easy-to-understand way. By implementing these methods, young students can more easily develop their academic writing skills while feeling excited and engaged.

ReplyDeleteI choose the issue: "A group of students struggles with academic writing. What innovative methods can be used to improve their skills?"
Arguments and Solutions:
Academic writing is a complex skill that requires critical thinking, clear structure, and formal language. Many students struggle due to a lack of understanding of structure, difficulty in developing arguments, and insufficient practice or feedback. Here are some innovative methods to enhance their writing skills:
1. Utilizing AI-Based Writing Assistants
AI tools like chatbots and grammar-checking applications can help students refine their writing, correct errors, and improve clarity. Chatbots can provide instant feedback on paragraph structure and argument logic.
2. Collaborative Learning (Peer Review & Writing Groups)
Students can exchange drafts, review each other’s work, and provide constructive feedback. This helps them recognize their weaknesses and improve their critical reading skills.
3. Gamification of Writing Practice
Making writing more engaging through daily writing challenges, rewards, or essay competitions can boost motivation and consistency.
4. Genre-Based Writing Approach
Understanding different types of academic writing (e.g., argumentative essays, research reports, literature reviews) helps students apply the correct structure and style.
5. Scaffolding Approach to Learning
Instructors can guide students step by step, from simple writing exercises to more complex research projects. This gradual process builds confidence and reduces overwhelm.
By implementing these methods, students can progressively improve their academic writing skills in a more effective and engaging way.
Improving academic writing skills among young learners requires innovative and engaging methods tailored to their developmental stage. One effective approach is learning through play, which aligns with Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory (1952). According Piaget’s concrete operational stage (ages 7-11) learn best through hands-on experiences and active engagement. Gamified writing activities, such as story cubes, word puzzles, and interactive storytelling, can help children build sentence structures and develop vocabulary in a fun way. For example, using picture-based prompts, students can create simple stories by arranging images in sequence before writing sentences about them.
ReplyDeleteAnother method is collaborative writing, which is supported by Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory (1978). This theory emphasizes the role of social interaction and scaffolding in learning. Young learners benefit from working in pairs or small groups where they can discuss ideas and co-construct sentences. Shared writing—where the teacher acts as a scribe while students contribute ideas—helps children develop confidence in expressing their thoughts in writing. Tools like Google Docs or interactive whiteboards allow for real-time collaboration, even in digital settings.
Additionally,multisensory learning techniques, such as drawing, acting out stories, and using colorful mind maps, align with Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory (1983). Young learners process information differently, and integrating visual, kinesthetic, and auditory elements can enhance their writing skills. For instance, students can draw their stories first, then describe them orally before writing. Using rhymes or songs to reinforce sentence structures also helps them retain information better.
By incorporating play-based learning, collaborative writing, and multisensory techniques, young learners can develop academic writing skills in a way that is engaging, interactive, and developmentally appropriate. These approaches not only improve writing fluency but also foster creativity and confidence in young writers.

ReplyDelete1. Project-Based Learning (PBL)
According to Thomas (2000), Project-Based Learning encourages students to learn through hands-on experience. In the context of academic writing, students can be given a small research project that requires them to write a report or essay with an academic structure.
2. Blended Learning with Technology
According to Graham (2006), Blended Learning-a combination of online and offline learning-can improve writing skills. Platforms such as Google Docs, Grammarly, and Quillbot can help students with revision and editing of writing.
3. Writing Workshop Method
Graves (1983) developed the concept of Writing Workshop, where students go through a gradual writing process (drafting, revising, editing, publishing) with feedback from teachers and peers.
4. Mind Mapping for Writing Planning
According to Buzan (2006), Mind Mapping helps students organize ideas before they start writing. This technique is particularly effective in drafting academic essays with a clear structure.
5. Scaffolding and Model Texts
According to Vygotsky (1978), scaffolding can help students understand how to write academically by providing examples of academic texts (model texts) and guiding them in the analysis of writing structures before they write themselves.
6. Gamification in Writing
According to Gee (2003), gamification elements in learning can increase student motivation. Teachers can use apps like Kahoot! or Classcraft to make academic writing challenges more interesting.

A local school has reported that students are losing interest in reading. How can the English Department help revive their love for books?
ReplyDeleteTo enhance students' engagement with reading material, the English Department may consider implementing various strategies grounded in critical thinking and language proficiency. Firstly, the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) method can be employed by selecting books relevant to students' lives and organising discussions that relate the book's content to their experiences (Johnson, 2002). Secondly, the Reader-Response Theory approach enables students to articulate their personal interpretation of the reading through written reflection or small group discussion (Rosenblatt, 1978). Thirdly, integrating technology, such as e-books, videos, and podcasts, can enhance the interactivity of reading and align it with students' digital habits, per Constructivism Theory (Vygotsky, 1978). Furthermore, autonomy in selecting reading material, as outlined in the Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985), can enhance intrinsic motivation. Lastly, creating a pleasant reading environment through comfortable reading corners, storytelling, and meeting the author can build a positive reading experience, as described in Positive Psychology Theory (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990). Integrating these approaches is hypothesised to enhance student engagement in reading activities and revive their interest in literacy.

The English Department can help revive students' interest in reading by making books more engaging and accessible. They can introduce interactive reading activities, such as book clubs, storytelling sessions, and creative writing workshops. Encouraging the use of modern literature, graphic novels, and digital reading platforms can also attract students. Additionally, organizing reading competitions and inviting authors for discussions can inspire students. By creating a fun and supportive reading environment, students may develop a renewed love for books.
According to Gallagher (2009) in Readicide, students lose interest in reading due to excessive focus on standardized tests and lack of engaging reading experiences. To revive their love for books, the English Department can provide more independent reading time, offer relevant and enjoyable materials, and reduce tedious analysis. Encouraging meaningful discussions, shared reading, and teacher involvement as role models can also foster a positive reading culture. By making reading enjoyable rather than a chore, students are more likely to reconnect with books.

ReplyDelete1. Connecting Classics with Current Trends : Many classic stories have themes that are still relevant to the lives of young people. (indonesiakaya)
2. One of the reasons young people are reluctant to read classics is the difficult language. Adapting classic novels to lighter, easier-to-understand language can help overcome this problem. (according to indonesia kaya)
3. Many book influencers (booktubers and booktokers) have a big influence on reading trends. Inviting them to review or recommend classics in an engaging format can increase reading interest. (my argument)
1. One effective solution is to use the Extensive Reading Approach, as proposed by Stephen Krashen in Input Theory. Krashen (1982) emphasizes that students understand language more easily when they are exposed to meaningful and enjoyable reading.
ReplyDeleteTo implement this, the English Department can create a Reading Corner that contains books according to students' interests and ability levels. Instead of forcing them to read difficult texts, let them choose their preferred reading, such as comics, short stories, or light novels. When reading becomes a fun and pressure-free activity, students' interest in books will grow naturally.

I'll address the fourth issue: A group of students struggles with academic writing. What innovative methods can be used to improve their skills?
ReplyDeleteAddressing Academic Writing Challenges Through Innovative Methods
Academic writing is a complex skill requiring critical thinking, coherence, and adherence to formal conventions. Many students struggle with it due to a lack of structured guidance, motivation, or confidence in their abilities. To improve academic writing, we can implement Cognitive Apprenticeship Model (Collins, Brown, & Newman, 1989) and Process-Based Writing Approach (Flower & Hayes, 1981) as foundational frameworks.
1. Scaffolding through Cognitive Apprenticeship
The Cognitive Apprenticeship Model suggests that learning occurs through guided practice, where students observe experts before gradually developing independence. In academic writing, this can be applied through:
Modeling: Instructors provide annotated examples of well-written academic papers, demonstrating structural patterns and critical engagement with sources.
Coaching: Personalized feedback sessions help students refine their writing progressively.
Fading: As students gain proficiency, they take on more responsibility, eventually becoming self-regulated writers.
2. Process-Based Writing for Skill Development
The Process Writing Approach emphasizes that writing is a recursive process involving planning, drafting, revising, and editing. Key strategies include:
Pre-Writing Activities: Mind mapping, brainstorming, and outlining to help students organize ideas logically.
Collaborative Writing: Peer review and group discussions enhance analytical skills and foster critical feedback.
Reflective Journals: Encouraging students to document their writing progress helps build metacognitive awareness of their strengths and weaknesses.
3. Technology Integration for Engagement
Leveraging digital tools can make academic writing more accessible:
AI-Powered Writing Assistants: Tools like Grammarly or AI chatbots (e.g., ChatGPT) provide instant feedback on structure, coherence, and argumentation.
Interactive Learning Platforms: Websites such as Purdue OWL or academic writing MOOCs offer structured modules for self-paced learning.
Gamification: Writing challenges, timed essays, or progress-tracking apps can motivate students to engage with academic writing regularly.

ReplyDeleteCase 2
The main problem why young people are less interested in classic books is the language that is difficult to understand and less relevant to their lives. According to Krashen (2004), readers are more engaged if the text feels easy to understand. The solution is that publishers can adapt it with a more modern language without changing the original meaning.
Format also has an effect. A study by Gee (2003) showed that visual media can increase interest in reading. So, classic books can be made in the form of graphic novels, audiobooks, or webtoons to make them more interesting.
In addition, marketing must be more creative. Social media such as TikTok and Instagram can be used to promote classic books in a relaxed way, such as influencer reviews, reading challenges, or relatable memes. According to the Pew Research Center (2021), social media has a major influence on young people's reading habits.
With this strategy, classic books can feel more relevant and interesting to the younger generation.
To revive students' love for reading, the English Department can:
ReplyDelete1. Identify the causes of their declining interest in reading and address them accordingly.
2. Make reading enjoyable through interactive activities, such as book clubs, reading challenges, and projects related to the books.
3. Introduce relevant and engaging books that cater to students' interests and lives.
4. Leverage technology to make reading more appealing, such as digital reading apps, video book reviews, and online book discussions.
5. Organize reading competitions to motivate students to read more, such as speed reading contests, book summary competitions, or book review contests.
6. Collaborate with the school library to provide access to a wider range of books and make reading more convenient.
By implementing these strategies, the English Department can help rekindle students' passion for reading.

A local school has reported that students are losing interest in reading. How can the English Department help revive their love for books?
So, one of the ways that can be done here is to relate reading to real life. The number of students who lose interest in reading is probably because they feel that the content of the book is not relevant to their experience. Therefore, choosing readings that match their interests and backgrounds and encouraging reflective discussions can help them find meaning in reading. In addition, reading should not only be a passive activity, but also exercise critical thinking. By analyzing different perspectives in the text, questioning the ideas presented and participating in reading-based debates, students can develop analytical thinking skills and understand information more deeply.
In addition, it is important to consider the changes in the way students consume information in the digital age. Using e-books, audiobooks or social media as reading support tools can increase their interest in literacy. For example, discussing books through short videos or online forums can be an effective way to make reading more interactive. In addition, reading can also be a means to improve students' language skills. By rewriting stories in their own language, discussing in reading clubs or adapting texts into other forms such as dramas or vlogs, students not only understand the content but also develop their speaking and writing skills. Therefore, through the integration of relevant reading, the application of critical thinking, the utilization of technology, and the strengthening of language skills, the English Department can contribute significantly to rebuilding students' interest in reading.

Arguments and Solutions
The decline in reading interest among students can be addressed by making books more engaging, relevant, and accessible. The English Department can implement the following strategies to reignite students' love for reading:
1. Interactive Reading Activities
Instead of traditional reading assignments, teachers can incorporate role-playing, book trailers, and digital storytelling. For example, students can act out scenes from a novel or create a short video summary of the book. This approach makes reading more engaging and interactive.
2. Choice-Based Reading
Allowing students to choose books based on their interests fosters intrinsic motivation. A well-curated library with a variety of genres, including graphic novels, fantasy, and non-fiction, can help cater to diverse preferences.
3. Technology Integration
Utilizing e-books, audiobooks, and reading apps can make books more accessible and appealing. Platforms like Kindle, Wattpad, and interactive reading applications can encourage reluctant readers to engage with stories in a modern format.
4. Reading Challenges and Rewards
Creating school-wide reading challenges with incentives can motivate students. For instance, a "Reading Bingo" or a "Read and Earn Points" system where students can exchange points for small rewards can encourage consistent reading habits.
5. Book Clubs and Peer Discussions
Organizing student-led book clubs where they can discuss their favorite books in an informal setting promotes a positive reading culture. Peer recommendations often carry more influence than teacher suggestions.
6. Connecting Literature to Real Life
Teachers can relate book themes to real-life issues and encourage students to express their opinions through debates, creative writing, or projects. For instance, if a novel discusses environmental issues, students can be tasked with researching and presenting real-world solutions.
7. Inviting Guest Speakers and Authors
Bringing in authors, poets, or storytellers for interactive sessions can inspire students. Hearing the behind-the-scenes process of writing and storytelling can make literature more relatable and exciting.
Conclusion
By incorporating technology, interactive methods, and student-driven activities, the English Department can make reading enjoyable and meaningful. The key is to create an environment where students see reading as an adventure rather than a chore.

Actually, there is no most effective and powerful method, but the collaborative writing method can be the answer. As far as students feel they are afraid to write because they lack ideas in developing sentences, collaborative writing makes students have a friend to think and exchange ideas with. The collaborative writing approach can help their skills by:
1. Students exchange writing and give feedback to each other, this helps them recognize weaknesses in their own writing.
2. Writing together, students can jointly compose group assignments such as in academic writing courses. It can also be a presentation when writing a paper together.
3. Organize group writing training sessions or writing seminars.
4. Utilizing technology, students can use google doc to create papers online together then the results of our writing can use AI assistance to help writing, such as grammarly to check our grammar, quillbot to help paraphrase, and others.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion to revive students' interest in reading, the English Department can implement several measures. First, it is important to give students the freedom to choose reading materials that suit their interests. When students read something they enjoy, they will be more motivated and enjoy the process. Secondly, the use of technology such as e-books and audio books can help reach students who are more familiar with digital media. However, their use should be controlled so as not to take the focus away from the core learning. Organizing engaging reading activities, such as book discussions, or story sharing sessions, can also make the reading experience more enjoyable. Finally, the approach of reading for pleasure should be prioritized over just reading as an academic task, so that students can develop a sustainable reading habit. With a combination of these strategies, schools can create a more supportive environment and encourage a strong reading culture.
Nazeera Fajriyanti Putri (221230062) Non-native English-speaking communities often experience obstacles in accessing learning resources, such as limited books, teaching materials, and adequate teaching staff. To overcome this, the Department of English can initiate a free tutoring program that involves students and lecturers as facilitators in face-to-face and online classes.

I choose the third issue: "A non-native English-speaking community faces difficulties learning English due to limited resources. How can the English Department assist them?"
In my opinion, the English Department can greatly assist non-native English speakers struggling with limited resources by implementing a multi-faceted approach. This includes creating accessible, tiered language programs catering to various proficiency levels, from beginner classes focused on foundational skills to advanced courses enhancing conversational and academic abilities. Leveraging technology by providing access to online resources, interactive websites, and virtual tutoring, alongside organizing language exchange programs, can also significantly enhance learning opportunities and foster a supportive environment.
Another crucial aspect involves incorporating culturally relevant materials into the curriculum to increase engagement and motivation. Collaborating with local organizations or community centers to offer workshops, conversation clubs, and cultural events further expands resources and provides real-life practice opportunities. By combining structured programs with technology, culturally relevant content, and community partnerships, the English Department can effectively support non-native speakers in overcoming their language learning challenges.
I chose case number 2 where publishing companies can reclaim young readers for traditional books through various innovative measures.
ReplyDeleteFirst, the appearance of the book should be overhauled from a flashy cover to a more attractive one using pictures or comics that suit the tastes of young people. The language also needs to be simplified without losing the originality of the writing and publish special editions with footnotes or glossaries that can facilitate understanding.
Second, the application of digital media is very important. Promotion through social media such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, creation of interactive content, and collaboration with influencers or bookbers can reach a wider audience. Publishing e-books or audiobooks can also make literature more accessible.
Thirdly, book discussions, writing competitions or workshops based on classic works can also facilitate more interaction with young readers. Collaboration with schools or literacy groups can also make literature reach more readers.
Finally, the universal themes found in the classics should be translated into the daily lives of today's youth. Focusing on the timeliness of themes such as friendship, love or conflict, and showing how classics can be applied to understand social issues, can make classics more appealing. By using these two approaches, classic literature may become more relevant and sought after by young readers.

To make classic literature more appealing to young people, publishers can create modern versions such as graphic novels, audio books, or interactive digital editions. Using social media and book influencers can also help with promotion in a more contemporary way. In addition, connect classic stories with current issues to make them more relatable. Collaborating with schools through book clubs or plays can also make reading more fun. Finally, a collectible edition with a cool design can be a big draw. This way, classic literature can stay alive and attract the younger generation.

ReplyDeleteTo revive students' interest in reading, the English Department can implement several effective strategies. First, they need to provide a diverse reading collection, including contemporary novels, graphic novels, and non-fiction that matches students' interests. In addition, reading programs and challenges can be held to motivate students by rewarding them for the number of books read. Forming a book club can also create a space for students to discuss and share opinions about their reading. Inviting authors to speak and holding workshops will give students first-hand inspiration on the creative process behind writing. The use of technology, such as e-books and audiobooks, can provide variety in how students access reading. Creative assignments that replace traditional book reports, such as creating a book trailer or writing an alternative ending, can also increase student engagement. Parental involvement is crucial, so workshops and resources to support reading at home should be provided. Finally, regularly soliciting feedback from students on their preferred reading will help the Department adjust the curriculum to keep it relevant. With a diverse approach and involving students, parents and the community, the English Department can revive students' interest in reading and help them rediscover the joy of reading.

A publishing company is struggling to market classical literature to young readers. They realize that these classical works have immense historical and cultural value, but find it challenging to capture the attention of young readers who prefer contemporary works. To address this issue, the publishing company can employ several strategies. Firstly, they can revamp the book cover designs to make them more appealing and relevant to young readers. They can also create a series of books packaged in a more modern and attractive way. In addition, the publishing company can leverage digital media to promote classical literature. They can create e-books and audiobooks that can be accessed by young readers through their digital devices. They can also utilize social media to promote classical literature and interact with young readers. The publishing company can also collaborate with schools and universities to promote classical literature to students. They can create teaching resources that can aid teachers and professors in teaching classical literature to their students. Furthermore, the publishing company can adapt classical literature into comic books, films, or theater productions. This can help make classical literature more appealing and relevant to young readers.

ReplyDeleteEnglish departments can help non-native speaking communities, but the solutions they implement must be realistic and consider the limitations. Rather than simply providing bold courses that are difficult for those with limited internet access to access, departments can build physics learning centers in communities in need. Collaboration with local schools or community centers can also increase the effectiveness of learning compared to relying solely on materials. The use of technology must be done strategically. If internet access is a problem, learning materials can be provided through community radio or in the form of flash drives that can be borrowed and used without an internet connection. In addition, developing offline-based applications can also be an innovative solution to support more inclusive learning. An approach that considers social and cultural factors will be more effective than learning methods based on academic curriculum. The use of songs, folklore, or everyday dialogues that are relevant to community life can increase their participation and involvement in the learning process. In this way, English learning becomes more contextual and easy to understand. In addition, the desired program also needs to be considered so that its impact is not only short-term. English departments can train community members to become teachers for others, creating a stronger long-term effect. Providing certification or awards to active participants can also increase their motivation to continue learning and developing their English skills independently.

Problem 4 : A group of students is struggling with academic writing. What innovative methods can be used to improve their skills?
To help students who have difficulty in academic writing, various innovative methods can be implemented to make it easier for them to understand and master this skill. One effective way is to use technology, such as artificial intelligence-based apps or tools that can provide instant feedback regarding grammar, sentence structure and other common errors.

With these technologies in place, students not only know their mistakes but also understand how to correct them, thus improving their writing skills gradually.
In addition, project-based learning can also be applied, for example by asking students to write articles or essays on topics they are interested in, so that they are more motivated to learn. This approach allows students to be more involved in the writing process, as they can express their ideas and thoughts more freely. Teachers can give students the freedom to choose themes that are relevant to their interests, such as social issues, technology, or popular culture.

ReplyDeleteTo improve academic writing skills, it is essential to combine critical thinking and language skills in an innovative way. One effective method is through peer review and collaborative writing. By working together, students can not only identify areas for improvement in their peers' writing but also gain insights into their own work. This approach encourages critical evaluation and constructive feedback, fostering a deeper understanding of writing mechanics and logic.
Another innovative approach is writing workshops that focus on specific skills, such as thesis development, argumentation, or evidence integration. These workshops can integrate real-world examples, making abstract writing concepts more tangible. Encouraging students to engage with diverse perspectives and read academic articles across disciplines will also expand their vocabulary and comprehension, which are key to effective writing.
Furthermore, active use of digital tools like grammar checkers, plagiarism detectors, or even writing assistants like AI can support the writing process. These tools provide instant feedback, allowing students to refine their work in real-time, which strengthens both language proficiency and attention to detail.
By blending peer interaction, focused skill-building, exposure to varied writing styles, and technological aids, students can develop a comprehensive understanding of academic writing and critical thinking. This multifaceted approach will not only improve their writing but also enhance their ability to think analytically and express their ideas clearly.

5. Connect with Real-Life:
Make texts relatable to daily life or current events. Virtual tours or real objects can be used to make stories easier to understand.
6. Focus on Comprehension:
Before reading, encourage students to guess the book’s content from its title or pictures. During reading, let them predict what will happen next or ask about connections with their own experiences.

To overcome this, they can learn gradually using the scaffolding method, which starts from creating a writing framework, developing ideas in paragraphs, to compiling a good conclusion. In addition, writing workshops can help them discuss and provide input to each other, so that the writing process feels easier. Technology can also be utilized, such as Grammarly to check grammar or Mendeley to manage references automatically. To be more confident, students can try the free writing technique, which is writing freely without fear of making mistakes, then correcting it through peer review with peers. In addition, reading and analyzing examples of good scientific writing can also help them understand the correct writing structure and style. In this way, students can improve their writing skills gradually and be more confident in compiling scientific papers.

ReplyDeleteA local school has reported that students are losing interest in reading. How can the English Department help revive their love for books?
The English Department can revive students' love for reading by fostering a reading culture (cozy reading spaces, book talks, teacher role models), using engaging materials (choice-based reading, graphic novels, thematic books), making reading interactive (book clubs, dramatization, digital storytelling), connecting books to other media (movie adaptations, animated storytelling, audiobooks), and involving parents and the community (family reading nights, author visits, library partnerships).

Many students lose interest in reading because they find existing books uninteresting or too difficult to understand. English majors can help by choosing more relevant and fun reading materials, such as teen novels, educational comics, or short stories that are close to their lives. In addition, activities such as book discussions, role-playing in the stories read, or review writing competitions can make students more enthusiastic. When reading is associated with an interesting and interactive experience, they will definitely be more motivated to do so.
ReplyDeleteTechnology can also be a solution to increase interest in reading. Instead of relying solely on physical books, English majors can introduce e-books, audiobooks, or reading apps that can be accessed through gadgets. For example, students can be asked to write book reviews on blogs or discuss in online forums. Thus, they are not only reading, but also honing their critical thinking and writing skills. With a more modern approach that suits their habits, surely interest in reading can grow again.
