“…Hence, this activity positively influences not only the quality of writing but also the writing performance. As stated by Rosdiana (2014) and Wakabayashi (2013), learners can write well-organized compositions effectively and consistently because feedback is useful in improving the quality of writing. Also, learners become aware of their mistakes and errors, so the composition consists of fewer mistakes compared to the preceding draft (Wong, 1999).…”

This research is intended to scrutinize the effect of CIRC on learners' writing performance across cognitive learning styles. Quasi-experimental research with a factorial design was implemented in this study. A total of forty subjects participated in this research. They were ELT learners in the third semester at the University of Khairun. Teaching writing to the learners in the two groups lasted 13 meetings. The learners in the experimental group were treated with CIRC, and the learners in the control group were taught with conventional techniques. The two-way ANOVA with interaction was carried out to test the research hypotheses. The research results showed that (1) the learners taught using the CIRC technique had better performance in writing than those taught the conventional technique, (2) the learners with field independence had not better performance in writing than those who had field dependence, (3) CIRC technique was more effective regardless of cognitive learning styles. CIRC is suggested to be applied as writing technique for increasing learners' writing performance, but the cognitive learning styles e.g., field dependence and field independence in the CIRC implementation are not necessarily worried by teachers.

English language is considered as the universal language in the world, yet one of the most difficult subjects to learn for many reasons. There are numerous factors that learners are fumbling with in spelling, grammar, and phonological structures. However, the benefits of understanding the language far outweigh the inconveniences of learning it. One of the most affected groups of students since the pandemic is English Language Learners. These learners encounter numerous challenges throughout the autonomous learning process and exhibit a negative attitude towards learning. The purpose of this study is to identify the difficulties faced by English language learners at Jefferson Union High School District in Daly City, California. Specifically, this research studies (i) the challenges of English Language learners towards remote independent study, (ii) the significant themes that can be drawn from their challenges, and (iii) the theory that may be developed based on the significant themes. To further comprehend this phenomenon, this study takes a qualitative approach that employs interviews as a data collection instrument and uses Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis in the analysis of qualitative data. Participants in this study are English language learners who struggle with learning remotely during the pandemic. The sample of this study consisted of 6 students from 4 different grade levels in high school: Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. The results show that there are a variety of challenges that students face, which can be categorized into time management, sustained attention, and motivation. The participants employed a variety of techniques to address the issues, including family and friends support, and technology throughout the pandemic and this resulted in remote independent study for autonomous and self-directed learning.

“…However, when it is not possible to recruit English language educators who are native speakers, another alternative is to recruit English language educators who are foreign nationals even though the educators are non-native speakers. This is still a positive thing for the English class, especially for the motivation of students (Adara, 2018;Mangendre, 2020;Pratama & Fridolini, 2021). It is because they are required not to use their mother tongue and use English.…”

Foreign language plays important role in constructing a new identity for an international student. This paper explored the role of English for an international student studying in an Indonesian institute in constructing a new identity as an international teacher in Indonesia. This research used qualitative as the method and narrative inquiry became the research design. The participant of this research was an Afghan international student pursuing a master's degree in an Indonesian institute. The data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and documentation. The findings of this research showed that English skills were needed to show that the participant was an international teacher and English was beneficial for the participant in constructing a new identity as an international teacher in Indonesia. The participant had started learning English in his Junior High School and practiced using it intensively when the participant went abroad to continue his study for bachelor’s and master’s degrees. This research also revealed that having good speaking skills opened an opportunity for the participant to apply for a job as an English international teacher in Indonesia. Moreover, the speaking skills and international English teacher identity created a bridge for the participant to be a speaker for some events such as seminars and English-based events held by schools and institutes. This research was limited to a participant from a country and focused on teacher identity. It is suggested for future research to conduct similar research with more various participants from various countries and focus on another kind of identity construction.
