“…Past participle having a passive meaning is one of the difficult grammar details for Korean EFL learners because their native language does not have a past participle pattern which is in the passive form. Rustipa (2016) called this an interlingual error in which native language results in the EFL learners' confusion and mistakes.…”

As a fundamental component of language, writing has been identified as the least proficient domain in acquiring a new language. Due to this universal idea, this research has been designed to find a more effective method to improve the writing skills of EFL learners and makes an attempt to investigate the effectiveness of a basic sentence pattern (BSP) drill through film corpus-based activities. To do this, as a pre-test, EFL learners were asked to make questionnaires with basic sentence patterns that translate Korean sentences into English to determine how much basic knowledge they had. For the questionnaires and the basic sentence pattern drill, the script of the American television series Modern Family (Lloyd & Levitan, 2014) was collected and categorized into five basic sentence patterns. Then, the learners were taught about the 5th basic sentence pattern, the most difficult pattern and were trained to practice this sentence pattern, repetitively, for a month. As a final step, they took a post-test after another month’s training. The results show the overall score was enhanced significantly from pre-test to post-test. This finding demonstrates that basic sentence patterns can enable EFL learners to develop their sentence accuracy in writing.

“…In practice stage, I asked the students to apply the concepts they have learned to make their own writing. Previously they did sentence imitation, sentence expansion, and then sentence combining (Rustipa, 2017). In this main section of the lesson, various problems appeared, especially with at-risk students.…”

This study investigated interpersonal relationship to tackle at-risk students’ low competence, inactive class participation, misbehave. This research especially aims at knowing how positive, supportive teacher-at risk student relationship can enhance the student’s learning outcome, how teacher-student relationship can enhance students’ motivation, can activate the at-risk students. This study is descriptive in nature held in a classroom context in sentence writing class in Stikubank University (UNISBANK) Semarang, Indonesia. The results of the study revealed how the at-risk student’s perception on teacher’s affective qualities can affect their learning outcome. It is concluded that the more positive the at-risk student’s perception on the teacher-student relationship, the higher the learning outcome she/ he achieves. The positive at-risk students’ perception on their teacher’s affective qualities makes them achieve the learning outcome successfully. This is because they feel that their teacher creates a safe and trustful environment that makes them feel free to share difficulties. Thus, supportive and caring teacher-at risk student relationship is essential in teaching-learning process.

“…The problems at the sentence level were fragments, and run-on sentences [14,32]. In other EFL contexts, Indonesian EFL learners were found to have problems in sentence writing in terms of word level, sentence level, and mechanics such as verb tense, subject-verb agreement, pronoun, word order, article, auxiliary, sentence fragment [31] punctuation and capitalization [19,31]. Iranian EFL learners experienced difficulty in writing short sentences and a lack of meaning [26].…”

Situation-based learning is a meaningful learning approach that provides a connection between the classroom and practice in the real world. This study represents an attempt to investigate the effects of situation-based learning on students' sentence writing ability of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and explore students' opinions toward situation-based learning. The samples were 52 students majoring in English Education. The research instruments consisted of a learning achievement test for pre-testing and post-testing, lesson plans, situation-based tasks, a questionnaire, and a semi-structured interview form. The data were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative method applied descriptive statistics including Mean, Min, Max, and Standard Deviation (S.D.), and the qualitative method applied content analysis. The results of this study showed that situation-based learning improved students' English sentence writing ability in terms of simple sentences, compound sentences, complex sentences, and compound-complex sentences. The results also indicated that situation-based learning enhanced students' sentence writing in terms of sentence completion, complete thought, word use, grammar, and punctuation. Students' opinions toward situation-based learning were explored in three areas: classroom climate, classroom activities, and sentence writing improvement. The results showed that the most advantageous area was sentence writing improvement, while the least adventurous area was classroom climate. This study suggests that situation-based learning should be applied at other educational levels to help students transfer knowledge from the classroom into practice in real life. It is recommended to investigate situation-based learning in terms of problem-solving strategies that students apply to solve problems in real life situations.
