This study aims to analyze the performance of school principals during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study also aims to analyze the effect of principal's performance, teacher competence and school climate on teacher's performance. In addition, this paper investigates the mediating role of teacher competence and school climate on the relationship of principal's performance and teacher's performance. The sample in this study was schoolteachers in Central Java. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. The research respondents were 200 public and private teachers consisting of elementary, junior high, and senior high school teachers. The data collection method used was questionnaire. The questionnaires were distributed online via google forms. The data analysis method used was path analysis. The results showed that the principal's performance was in the good category in terms of five dimensions (managerial, supervision, entrepreneurship, social, and personality). The principal's performance significantly influences the teacher's performance. The principal's performance is also a significant determinant of school climate, although it has not been proven to significantly influence teacher competence. Other results indicate that school climate and teacher competence are significant determinants of teacher performance. School climate and teacher competence have a mediating role in the relationship between principal's performance and teacher performance. The implication of this research is the importance of improving the performance of school principals during the pandemic because it will be able to significantly determine the school climate and teacher's performance. Strengthening the performance of school principals can be done by providing regular direction and monitoring by authorized parties such as school supervisors, education offices, and other officials.

This study investigated common written errors and the causes that language learners frequently commit. A descriptive qualitative approach was conducted with the participation of 57 eleventh-graders at a high school in Hung Yen province during the second term of the academic year 2021-2022. The respondents were requested to participate in five writing tests in three successive months to generate their morphological, lexical, syntactical, and mechanical written errors basing on Ferris' (2014) model of Error Analysis. The results reveal that the respondents are not good at English writing due to both the negligence of the testing and assessment format, which concentrates on multiple-choice tests and the demotivation and discouragement of learner autonomy in improving writing skills. The finding of this research would help the educational policy-makers adjust English teaching curriculum to give a priority to promote writing skills. Simultaneously, teachers of English should change their pedagogical practices to raise their learners' awareness of the key role of error correction in writing skills. For English language learners, they could recognize the importance of corrective feedbacks from their teachers, peer correction on their written errors that they committed while learning to write effectively in English. Lastly, future studies might confer the findings of this research for the reference to serve as the resourceful enrichment of their research liability.

In the 21st century, the transformation of Chinese education going to market has reinforced alongside the deepening marketization process in China since the 1970s. To date, the Chinese have widely accepted English education's marketization. Many Chinese parents register for English classes in private training institutes for their children having a more intense immersion in the English environment and a better performance in school tests. However, the &quot;Double Reduction Policy&quot; implemented in 2021 considerably constrain the development of private. The English students and Preservice English Teachers (PST) have faced unprecedented challenges in the job market. Chinese educational institutes escalate the demands for Chinese ELT pre-service teachers (PSTs) when evaluating their eligibility in interviews. The ELT PSTs cannot proficiently speak English, therefore, are considered inferior in employability. This study utilizes 27 Preservice Teachers' Beliefs about Language Learning Inventory (BALLI) survey statements investigating Chinese PSTs' relevant beliefs. Through examining the participating PSTs' enrolled program and analyzing the information collected from the group interview with the PSTs, the study explored how the PSTs' beliefs are related to the demand of the Chinese human resource market. Two concepts, &quot;Material-centered Curriculum&quot; and &quot;Spirit-centered Curriculum,&quot; are raised in this study. Suggestions and implications about how to adjust the curricula for the Chinese ELT PST program are discussed.

The world of education must continuously adapt to technological developments to increase learning quality, notably in the use of information and communication technologies in the learning process. In today's world, where everything is becoming increasingly interconnected and globalized, speaking more than one language is an increasingly important talent. It has been suggested that the Linguistic Landscape (LL) method is a valuable instrument for teaching and learning languages. A country's linguistic landscape refers to the visibly apparent languages in public locations, such as signs, advertisements, billboards, and posters. It is a reflection of the linguistic diversity and multilingualism of a community. In recent years, the linguistic landscape has received considerable attention in the field of language education since it has been acknowledged as a rich resource for language learning. This work investigates the influence of the linguistic landscape on language learning and its link with blended learning, learning motivation, and teacher competency. This article intends to study the impact of LL on language acquisition and its link with blended learning, student motivation, and teacher competence. This study intends to investigate how blended learning, learning motivation, and lecturer competency contributes to enhanced learning quality in an Islamic institution, as well as the role of landscape linguistics in improving the interaction between factors. In this 176-participant study, the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) technique was used, and the Structural Equation Model (SEM) in SmartPLS was used to evaluate the data. The study's findings indicate that all independent and moderating factors impact learning quality. The study suggests that college administrators or instructors enhance the linguistic sign as educational material. The researcher suggests regularly changing the text on the sign to increase the frequency with which pupils are exposed to the target language. Additional research will assess the new LL by incorporating a variable absent from the current investigation.

This research paper explores the morphophonemic variations of the morpheme {N} in the Javanese language, a member of the Austronesian language family. The study aims to comprehensively analyze the various phonological and morphological processes that affect the realization of the {N} morpheme in different linguistic contexts. The research employs a descriptive approach based on analyzing data collected from both primary and secondary sources. This study aims to examine the morphophonemics of the morphemes N- + RW, N- + RW + -ake, and N- + RW + -i, as well as their productivity and underlying principles. Observation, document analysis, and interviews were employed as data-gathering methods. Among the observation and document procedures utilized for data gathering was the observation of written and spoken Javanese materials. The data gathering additionally included interviews with three native Javanese speakers and Javanese language specialists to cross-reference the word forms employed. The researcher used a data triangulation methodology to validate the data. The technique for data analysis included an interactive analytical model that provides for data collection, display, condensation, and conclusion. The morphophonemics of the Javanese morphemes N- + RW, N- + RW + -ake, and N-+ RW + -i involve assimilation, ellipsis, synthesis, and phoneme addition, according to the findings of this study. The assimilation process results in the creation of allomorphs of the morpheme N-, particularly m-, n-, ny-, ng- , and -. As shown in Table 5, the morphophonemic principles of the morpheme N- + RW can be formed. In general, the productivity of the morphemes N- + RW, N- + RW + -ake, and N- + RW + -i is high. Unproductivity of these morphemes happens when the morpheme N- meets an RW with a nasal-sounding starting phoneme.
