Belajar Menulis Book Review

Saya memberanikan diri menulis book review, ilmu yang saya pelajari saat sekolah pasca sarjana. Saya mereview buku karangan Robert K Yin, Case Study Research and Applications: Design and Methods (edisi ke-enam). Saya mencoba mengaplikasikan teknik making connection untuk mencoba mengaitkan ide yang dapat saya pelajari dari buku tersebut dengan teks lain yang pernah saya baca untuk membuat review saya lebih bermakna, tentunya setelah meringkas isi buku dan menyampaikan poin-poin penting tentang apa yang dapat saya pelajari dari buku ini. Teman-teman silahkan membaca tulisan saya di https://www.academia.edu/108553962/A_Book_Review_Case_Study_Research_and_Applications  atau di: http://journal.wima.ac.id/index.php/BW/article/view/4130/3401 Selamat menulis, teman-teman!

Simple Technology to Support Research

My new book discusses various simple and free-to-use technology to support your research-related activities. I also present my past experiences as a master's and doctoral student, related literature, figures and tables, and relevant research policies to support the discussions about the technology tools and provide clear perspectives of what they are and how to use them. I hope this book can be a supportive friend for you all in your research and publication journey.

Simple Technology for Language Classrooms


The idea to write this book chapter emerged from the Teaching-Learning Empowerment (TLE) series, a weekly meeting in the English Language Education program (PBI) at Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana in Salatiga, Indonesia. On Fridays, PBI lecturers, who are all contributors of this volume, present research proposals and reflect on their teaching and share their experiences using technology to support their language teaching and learning practices. The intention is to facilitate TLE discussions about technology that can empower and be more impactful for people outside of the study program, especially those hoping to learn various types of technology or looking for ideas to integrate easy-to-use technology into their language lessons. 


One attempt to achieve that goal is by writing this ten-chapter book. Each chapter provides one lesson plan that integrates simple technology that has been presented in the TLE series. The lesson plan also has step-by-step teaching activities that readers may follow as is, or use parts of the activities and modify some of the activities to meet the specific needs of their English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. The technology-based tasks presented in the lesson plan follow the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards for students, so the tasks can also be applied in various settings outside of Indonesia. The ISTE Standards serve as a roadmap guiding teachers to meaningfully integrate technology into their teaching and learning practices. 

Hopefully, this book can give various practical ideas for EFL lecturers, teachers, and practitioners about how they might use technology – not just for the sake of using it, but to provide novel, culturally relevant, and developmentally appropriate language learning opportunities for their students. 

The book is FREE for everyone and ACCESSIBLE at https://bit.ly/Buku_SimpleTechnology

Belajar dari Profesor Sola

Di semester Spring 2019, saya mengambil kelas Bapak Sola, seorang Profesor yang baik hati, murah senyum, dan tidak sombong. Sebelum kelas pada hari itu berakhir, beliau berpesan agar kami memilih topik penelitian yang kami suka, bisa dikerjakan, dan diselesaikan [tepat waktu]. Kata beliau, kami tidak perlu menghubah seluruh dunia dengan hasil penelitian kami. Lebih lanjut, "focus on one or two research questions; don't think about a topic that is in heaven; put it down to the earth." Beliau juga menyarankan agar kami mengunjungi top journals (dalam bidang saya, misalnya: ELT Journal dan TESL-EJ) lalu membaca beberapa artikel yang sesuai dengan minat penelitian, pelajari metodologinya, lalu buat penelitian serupa. Setelahnya, beliau menutup kelas sore itu, thank you everyone, see you next week!
