Abstract

Many students assumed reading is not difficult process. In fact, reading process is not merely their understanding of each word and the surface structure denoted in a text, but it also includes the process of comprehension. Unfortunately, they also do not realize that during this process, reading anxiety, reading self-efficacy and vocabulary have been stated as some contributing factors. Thus, the current study examined whether reading anxiety, reading self-efficacy and vocabulary contribute towards students’ reading comprehension and which one of these factors that serves as the better predictor of students’ reading comprehension among 82 students of second semester of English department of Halu Oleo University. Questionnaires are employed for measuring students’ reading anxiety and reading self-efficacy, vocabulary test for measuring students’ vocabulary. Whereas, reading comprehension test for measuring students’ reading comprehension. The result revealed reading anxiety contributes towards students’ reading comprehension, reading self-efficacy contributes towards students’ reading comprehension and vocabulary contributes towards students’ reading comprehension. Vocabulary is higher than reading anxiety and reading self-efficacy in predicting students’ reading comprehension when these factors are examined simultaneously. Importantly, this study leads to the conclusion that vocabulary is better and stronger predictor of students’ reading comprehension than students’ reading anxiety and students’ reading self-efficacy. Taking importance of vocabulary into consideration, therefore language teachers should put more emphasize on students’ vocabulary, particularly endeavor to make their vocabulary knowledge wider and deeper.

Abstract

Since there have been many different models of reading instruction put forth, yet few of these methods take into account the importance of motivation. In fact, attempts at improving reading comprehension using Buzz Group technique seem to focus too heavily on the mechanics of reading without delving into the emotional or psychological aspects especially motivation. The purpose of this research is to identify the difference in students’ reading comprehension despite taught by different method. In addition, the research aims to identify the difference in reading comprehension of highly motivated and lowly motivated students which are taught using different method. The methods used in this research were Buzz Group technique and Contextual Method. 114 students of Grade VIII at SMPN 10 Kendari participated in completing the questionnaire reflecting their level of motivation and then 57 of them were given the reading comprehension test and the method used for analyzing the results was two-way anova technique. The results obtained showed that the reading comprehension of students who were taught using different method was not significantly different but the teaching method is needed for enhancing students’ reading comprehension by the development of students’ critical thinking provided by Buzz Group technique. Moreover, the reading comprehension of highly motivated students was significantly different from lowly motivated students; this was proved on this research that the higher the motivation, the higher the reading comprehension is. The findings can help to clarify the nature of reading comprehension that despite from taught using right method, it is important if teachers develop and integrate a strong emphasis on reading motivation, and value its effective environment.

Abstract

Errors have long been the obsession of language instructors and researchers. Before, errors were looked at as a problem that should be eradicated. However, errors are now considered as a device that learners use and from which they can learn, they provide evidence of the learner's level in the target language , they contain valuable information on the learning strategies of learners , and they also supply means by which teachers can assess learning and teaching and determine priorities for future effort. Thus, conducting error analysis is therefore one of the best ways to describe and explain errors committed by the EFL learners. The objective of this study is to identify type of errors on the EFL that is commonly found in students writing performances according to Surface Strategy taxonomy, to identify the possible causes of students’ errors in their writing performances and to identify kind of grammatical errors in students writing performances. This study employed a qualitative method. Sources of data were students’ writing performance in essay form. The result shows all of the four types of errors according to surface strategy taxonomy such as omission, misinformation, addition, and malformation/disordering, the result shows omission and misinformation are the types of errors that commonly found English department students’ essays. However, omission is the type of errors that is founded the most in students writing. The Possible causes of students’ error are: The learner doesn’t know the structural pattern. Hence, they make random response; The correct model has been insufficiently practiced; Distortion may induce by the first language. Kind of grammatical errors that is found in students’ essays are noun and verb inflection, subject-verb agreement, articles, pronouns, spellings, singular/plural form, capitalization, sentence fragments and prepositions. On the basis of these results, some pedagogical implications which might assist ESL/EFL teachers with some helpful suggestions and teaching strategies that will reduce future problems regarding writing for EFL learners.
