Methodology: To obtain the data on students’ metacognitive awareness, Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire (MALQ) and Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) was used. Data on students’ self-efficacy was gained using the simplified version of Rahimi and Abedini’s (2009) self-efficacy questionnaire (SEQ), The Morgan-Jinks Student Efficacy Scale (MSES), and Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). Meanwhile, students’ listening comprehension achievement was measured using the TOEFL Junior Test from Educational Testing Service. A total of 264 learners involved in this study. Main Findings: The result of correlational analysis using Kendall Tau-b formula revealed that 1) there was no significant contribution of learners’ metacognitive awareness toward their listening comprehension achievement, 2) students’ listening self-efficacy has a very low correlation with their listening comprehension achievement, and 3) simultaneously, students’ metacognitive awareness and their self-efficacy showed a very low reciprocal relationship with their listening comprehension. Applications of the study: This study is relevant to senior secondary education in the Indonesian context in which English is the first foreign language. More specifically, it is relevant to schools whose students are multilingual and come from different backgrounds both economically and geographically.

The advancement of technology encourages English teachers to use online platforms and applications in their English teaching and learning process. There are many apps that can be employed, one of which is Telegram. This study investigates how students perceive the use of Telegram on their reading comprehension and the correlation between the perception and their reading comprehension. For this purpose, 104 students from an Indonesian vocational school from various majors completed an online questionnaire about the use of Telegram for learning English. Besides, a reading test was used to measure the students' reading comprehension. The results portray that the students across departments positively perceived the use of Telegram on their reading comprehension. Furthermore, this study reveals a weak correlation between how the students perceive the use of Telegram and their reading comprehension. It is signified by the correlation between the two variables of interest, .364, which is significant at the .000 level. It indicates that the student's perception and reading comprehension for this set of data were significant but had a weak relationship. This may be caused by the reading strategies instructions as the teacher did not provide guidance before the treatment. It yields the pedagogical implication that teachers should train their students to use reading strategies effectively for their online reading comprehension

The Relationship between Transpiration Speed and The Number of Stomata of Adam Hawa Plants (Rhoeo discolor) at The Veteran Bangun Nusantara University Campus

The physiological and anatomical adaptation of the Rhoeo discolor plant to water conditions in the environment can be used as a learning resource/study material for plant physiology courses. One example of physiological and anatomical adaptation is the relationship between transpiration rate and number of stomata. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the relationship between transpiration rate and number of stomata in Rhoeo discolor plants at the University of Veteran Bangun Nusantara campus. Measurement of the rate of transpiration used Clobat Clorite paper and counted the number of stomata by making an incision in the lower epidermis of the leaf. Data analysis on the relationship between transpiration rate and number of stomata used prodact moment and qualitative descriptive to determine differences in transpiration rate and number of stomata in Rhoeo discolor leaves. From the research results it can be concluded; There is a relationship between the speed of transpiration and the number of stomata of the Adam Hawa plant (Rhoeo discolor) on the campus of the University of Veterans Bangun Nusantara, but the relationship is very small (r = 0.298). Discolor rhoeo plants that are in dry, dry shaded, and humid environments have different transpiration rates and number of stomata. Anatomically and physiologically the Rhoeo discolor plant can be used as a source of learning and an ornamental plant so that this plant needs to be cultivated and planted in more locations within the Veteran Bangun Nusantara University campus
