Abstract

Masih banyak pendidik yang belum dapat memanfaatkan slide PowerPoint dengan baik. Guru biasanya membuat slide yang penuh dengan teks, kecuali yang dimaksudkan untuk menunjukkan contoh teks, yang tidak akan mengesankan penonton. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji apakah struktur konten presentasi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap keterlibatan audiens. Pengalaman profesional menunjukkan bahwa banyak orang membuat presentasi gagal dalam misi mereka karena mereka memiliki kendala dengan masalah ini. Studi ini menggunakan salah satu Desain Pra-Eksperimental dengan melibatkan empat puluh delapan mahasiswa sarjana yang bergabung dengan Forum Akademik yang diadakan oleh departemen. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan tes dan angket. Analisis data menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan uji-t. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa struktur presentasi memiliki dampak yang signifikan terhadap penguasaan audiens terhadap materi yang disajikan. Selain itu, presentasi mendapat tanggapan positif dari para hadirin terutama karena beberapa alasan, yaitu: materi yang relevan dan cara penyampaian yang disukai, presentasi yang sudah baik dan penyelenggaraan acara yang memuaskan, dan porsi pengalaman yang sesuai, kemungkinan besar disebabkan oleh upaya sengaja presenter untuk menyusun materi agar audiens tetap terlibat selama presentasi.

Abstract

Abstrak: Partisipasi siswa merupakan aspek penting dalam pembelajaran, tidak terkecuali pembelajaran struktur kalimat bahasa Inggris. Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk mengatasi masalah partisipasi siswa dalam pembelajaran struktur kalimat bahasa Inggris dengan menggunakan media lagu. Dengan nada, otentisitas dan lirik, lagu memberikan efek rasa senang, motivasi, sekaligus contoh struktur bahasa dalam pemakaian (language in use). Penelitian dilakukan pada kelas X Teknik Jaringan Komputer (TJK) 2, SMK Bina Teknologi Purwokerto. Data dikumpulkan melalui pengamatan, angket, dan tes/uji. Berdasarkan pengamatan awal sejumlah masalah teridentifikasi, di antaranya siswa terlihat pasif dan kurang memperhatikan pembelajaran struktur bahasa Inggris. Tim peneliti sepakat bahwa akar permasalahan adalah pembelajaran yang cenderung bersifat deduktif, yaitu siswa tidak diberikan contoh nyata yang cukup. Sebaliknya, guru lebih banyak menyuapi siswa dengan rumus-rumus. Tim peneliti mencapai kata sepakat dalam cara mengatasi persoalan, yaitu mengimplementasikan pembelajaran struktur bahasa Inggris dengan menggunakan media lagu. Pada pertemuan pertama telah ada kemajuan atas apa yang menjadi keprihatinan bersama tim PTK ini. Meskipun masih terdapat kekurangan, kinerja guru meningkat. Partisipasi siswa secara umum juga meningkat, kecuali sebagian kecil aspek seperti belum adanya pertanyaan yang diajukan siswa. Kemajuan yang telah diraih pada pertemuan pertama dapat dipertahankan pada pertemuan kedua. Sejumlah kemajuan cenderung meningkat intensitasnya. Hasil pra-pascauji pertemuan kedua ini bahkan meningkatan cukup tajam. Evaluasi keseluruhan akhir siklus termasuk memperhitungkan respon siswa melalui angket menunjukkan keberhasilan PTK ini secara umum. Dengan mempertimbangkan waktu yang tersisa, diputuskan PTK ini diakhiri. Kata kunci: partisipasi, struktur bahasa Inggris, lagu

Abstract

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan sistem atau aturan penanda verba pasif dalam bahasa Jawa. Analisis dilakukan berdasarkan pada data ragam lisan/tuturan, yakni yang paling umum digunakan pada komunikasi lisan sehari-hari dalam bahasa Jawa. Data ini mengacu kepada bahasa Jawa ragam rendah (Ngoko). Peneliti sendiri seorang penutur asli bahasa Jawa. Namun demikian, untuk mendukung validitas penelitian dua orang ahli yang dinilai memiliki kapasitas sebagai narasumber (berlatarbelakang pendidikan relevan) – seorang dosen pendidikan bahasa Jawa dan seorang guru bahasa Jawa Sekolah Menengah Pertama – telah diwawancarai. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam bahasa Jawa verba pasif ditandai dengan awalan di- atau ke-, atau gabungannya bersama akhiran -i, -ni, -an, atau -en. Sisipan -in- ditemukan hanya pada variasi dalam bidang seni/sastra, yang juga sering terdengar digunakan oleh pembawa acara dalam prosesi pernikahan adat Jawa. Dalam bahasa Jawa ragam tinggi (Krama), dipun- atau gabungannya bersama akhiran -i atau -aken digunakan untuk menggantikan penanda verba pasif untuk versi yang lebih rendah di-, sementara ke-/ka- masih dijumpai sama seperti pada ragam rendah Ngoko. Kata kunci: penanda verba pasif, ragam tinggi, ragam rendah, krama, ngoko

Abstract

Errors are almost inseparable from learning process, including learning new languages. Though, it is not always considered as negative, instead, it is a part of learning process. This study was conducted to assess students’ mastery of grammar in writing, to find what grammatical errors they make, to be an evaluation to overcome the problem in the future. In this study, samples were taken from EFL students of English Education Department of Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto. The grammatical errors were identified under the theory of Politzer-Ramirez which classify errors into two types: morphological and syntactic error. In the end of the study, ten types of grammatical errors were identified as the most common grammatical errors made by the students. Three of them belong to morphological error, while the remaining fall into syntactic error. Those ten errors are: The use of prepositions (75 %), redundancy (75 %), simple past tense incorrect (62.5 %), determiners (58.3 %), number confusion (45.8 %), omission of verb (45.8 %), verb construction (41.67 %), derivatives/wrong part of speech (41.67 %), nominalization (33.3 %), and errors in the use of pronoun (29.2 %).

Abstract

Many factors why EFL learners in Indonesia tend to think that English is difficult to learn, one of which is how the teachers "cook" the teaching learning process to make them "drooling" and "want to eat" English more and more. In other words, teachers should be able to make the "recipe", execute the recipe in sequence, and then "garnish the dish" to make the students tempted to enjoy the material taught. Hence, this article investigates the reasons why most EFL learners reluctantly learn English and and find it difficult to master it. Literature review method was conducted to explore this study which is hoped to answer the questions put forward within this study. No "wow" beginning and poor teacher creativities are some of the main issues of EFL teachers which result in reluctance in the part of students in learning process. Additionally, teacher talks time (TTT), teacher centered learning, and other factors are discussed in this paper to be overcome by EFL teachers. Therefore, training and workshops on creative teaching for teachers are encouraged to conduct and a better attention to EFL teachers' quality control from the schools management and stakeholers should be given.
