- Students’ Perception towards Blended Learning
- Teaching Writing Online
- Teacher Centred Approach
- Experimental Research Design
For this study, the researcher would like to highlight the effects of blended learning on students' writing performance. Permanda and Gede (2017) investigated the effect of using blended learning strategies towards students' writing competence. A statistical package known as IBM SPSS version 23 was used to perform Kendall's tau b correlation analysis between Student Perceptions and Student Writing Performance.
From the table above, a weak correlation was found between students' perceptions and students' writing performance (r=0.048) for Group A. As discussed in the previous section, students' perceptions of both approaches show a positive trend that can be correlated with their writing performance . Akkonyulu and Soylu (2015) pointed out that the active participation of students can be observed when using a blended learning approach, which is evident from their active involvement in the online learning platform to complete their weekly assignments.
From this study, although the relationship is weak, it can be seen that blended learning activities that have been used by the teacher in the classroom promote the improvement of students' writing, as cited in Wichadee (2017). Thus, the effects of different learning strategies and activities can be seen on student performance. Looking at the students' writing performance, it can be concluded that the students in the experimental group outperformed the students in the control group.

Therefore, this article has adapted and translated FLCAS to the Malaysian version to measure language anxiety in the Malaysian context. This is the first article to publish the translated FLCAS in the Malaysian version based on Cronbach's Alpha. Many reliability studies make extensive use of Cronbach's alpha ("the reliability coefficient") in business, nursing, the social sciences, and other disciplines.
The study recommended that the Turkish version of FLCAS is an appropriate instrument to measure the level of foreign language anxiety among Turkish EFL learners (Aydin, 2016). This paper has adapted and translated FLCAS into Malaysian version to measure language anxiety in the Malaysian context. The mean value shows that both male and female students experienced a low level of language anxiety.
This paper aims to prove that the FLCAS (Horwitz, Horwitz& Cope, 1986) in Malaysian version is a reliable instrument to measure language anxiety among secondary school students in Malaysia. This paper has demonstrated the statistical aspect of obtaining the reliability of the FLCAS in the Malaysian version in measuring language anxiety among male and female students in secondary schools in Malaysia. This paper will be useful for researchers in language anxiety to investigate language anxiety in the Malay version.

- The Shifting of Acehnese Language in Pulau Kampai
- Factors of Language Shift
Fasold argues that language shift is the result of the election of the language process over a very long period of time. Bilingualism does not necessarily lead to language shifts, although it is one of the conditions for language shifts. Even some of them don't know the names of the months in Acehnesse language.
So it can be concluded that there has been a change in the name of the months in Acehnese. So it can be concluded that there has been a shift in the name of the days in Acehnese language. The shift in the use of new words from other languages inserted into the language of the Aceh band replaces the position of the Aceh word.
Based on the results of the study, the researcher found several factors that cause the shift of Acehnese language in Pulau Kampai community. The location of a new area away from the area of origin can be one cause of the shift of language. If Acehnese people come from the same community or region and language, they can still maintain the use of the first language.
There are four factors that caused the displacement of the Acehnese language in the Pulau Kampai community, they are migration, number of speakers, demography and economic factors.

- Results and Discussion
When language ideologies are recognized and examined, they reveal connections between speakers' beliefs about language and the larger social and cultural systems they are part of, illustrating how these beliefs are informed by and rooted in such systems. For example, language ideologies link both the implicit and explicit assumptions people have about a language or language in general to their social experience and both political and economic interests. Like other types of ideologies, linguistic ideologies are influenced by political and moral interests and take shape in a cultural setting.
This means that language (“the sign”) only exists in actual interaction; but language ideologies give it a life outside of that interaction and connect it to the interactions. This allows language ideologies to do social work: they are beliefs about language that represent the interests of a particular group in society. Like other forms of ideologies, language ideologies are imbued with political and moral interests and are shaped in a cultural framework.
Language ideologies are inherently plural because they are positioned, and there is always another position, another perspective from which to view the world of discursive practice differently. The term "language ideologies" is generally used in this literature to refer to sets of representations through which language is imbued with cultural meaning for a particular community. This explains what is meant by the term "language ideologies" and goes on to explore gender differences in language use as an area where ideological representations are common.
It concludes by considering the relationship between language ideologies and language practices in the real world, suggesting that this relationship makes the study of language ideologies an important part of the study of language and gender more broadly.

- Instrument of Research
This research aims to reveal the cultural values of teenagers towards their vernacular and Indonesian language. The data in this study is to see the comparison of youth cultural values with local and Indonesian languages in terms of tribes, customs that exist in youth. Comparison of youth cultural values with local and Indonesian languages is identified in this research.
In this case, this research explains that the cultural values of adolescents are very influential on their regional and Indonesian languages. First, the cultural values of adolescents towards the local language were proven in this case. This usually happens with the teenagers who have different cultural values than the regional languages.
Second, regarding teenagers' cultural values towards Indonesian language, many teenagers use Indonesian language because it commonly becomes their first language and it is also the national language or the language of the country. This can only happen in schools where their students have the same cultural values. Few teenagers still have an ideology towards the values of their culture because their parents do not teach them the vernacular and the cultural values.
Adolescents' view of cultural values shows that they lack understanding of cultural values.

Alfi Sahri, Nurmalia Rafiana, and Cut Droena Dibha
In this study, the researcher wants to know how unmarried couples deal with (planned) language for their children. In the fifth question, we asked 10 couples of our respondents about the reason for choosing a language they would later teach their children. Then we go to the sixth question about when or at what age our respondents will later teach the language to their children.
6 of our 10 respondent pairs answer/choose to teach the language to their children aged 1 to 2 years. 2 couples chose to teach the language to their children later when they were 6 to 7 months old. In the eighth question, we discussed how the 10 couples plan language planning for their children later on.
5 respondents simply answered that they would not have any obstacles in their children's language learning. 10 respondents answered that they had a definite plan to teach the language to their children without specifying what language to learn. 10 respondents gave the same answer that they would do language management for their children and they added that they had a plan to teach Indonesian to their children on the grounds that Indonesian is a national language and every citizen of the Republic of Indonesia should to know and speak. Indonesian language.
Furthermore, 10 respondents answered that they would teach their children Indonesian and also the local language; Indonesian as a unifying language and regional language as a cultural identity.
