Group A2 has been the Experimental Group and group A1 has been the Control Group. The teaching and learning process in the former employed dubbing system as the main technique, while the classroom learning activities in the latter used drill in most of the time. After 6 sessions (within 6 weeks) a post-test was administered. Data collectedthrough the post-test were analyzed using descriptive statistical operations of mean, frequency distribution, percentage and the t-test inferential statistical tool.Results of the research data analyses have revealed that teaching pronunciation with dubbing technique has not given a satisfactory outcome and a significant effect on the pronunciation mastery. To this finding dubbing is not recommended for use in teaching the pronunciationof English, but of course further studies on related content are immediately required to confirm this finding. Results of the data analyses have also shown that [], [əu], [ei], and [ə] constitute the most commonly mispronounced vowel sounds of English. Based on this finding, careful attention should be paid to these sounds when we teach the vowel sounds of English.Key words: effectiveness, dubbing, the pronunciation of English, drill

Abstract

The English vocabulary mastery of Junior High School students had been in- fluenced by their previous experience of learning English in Elementary School. The study was aimed to examine the influence of the English learning implementa- tion in Elementary School towards the level of students’ English learning achieve- ment in the next stage, Junior High School. For convenience, four Junior High Schools were chosen as sample schools, i..e: SMP Negeri 1, SMP Negeri 8, SMP Al-Irsyad and SMP Susteran in the town of Purwokerto. This type of ex-post facto survey includes 142 students from the first year consisting of 73 students from Elementary Schools which had implemented the English teaching while 69, from schools which had not. To know their achieving of English, the students were given a test on vocabulary which was learned for the first four months.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of team-based learning practice in the Teaching Campus program on the participating students' self-efficacy and the school mentor teachers' professionalism. A mixed methods approach was employed in this research. A total of 44 students (comprising 22 students who participated in the Teaching Campus program and 22 students who did not take the program) and seven teachers in partner schools were involved in the study. A questionnaire survey to assess students self-efficacy was administered. Interviews with teachers were also conducted to evaluate how much the program affected their professionalism during the activity. The responses obtained from questionnaires were analyzed using the inferential statistical tool of T-test, whereas the qualitative data elicited from interviews were analyzed using a thematic procedure. The ex-post facto design comparing self-efficacy of the two groups has shown that there is a significant difference, where the students who took part in the Teaching Campus program are  superior over those who did not. In addition, the teachers who co-worked with the students in their schools have stated that they benefited from the scheme. These results have strong implications for the 'Freedom to Learn - Freedom Campus' policy in current Indonesia's higher education system, more specifically the 'Teaching Campus' program, which includes team-based learning as an essential component. Betterment in its implementation is encouraged to make, according to results of this study.

Abstract

The study is primarily concerned with the use of ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret’ to teach English allomorphs in EFL classrooms. This paper is an alternative way to teach them as a significant element of pronunciation. The types examined are Regular Past Tense, Regular Plural Number, Third Person Present, The Regular Possessive, and Reduced IS and HAS. Besides the main highlight of allomorph pronunciation, the movie also contemplates some suprasegmental features called word stress and sentence intonation. The teachers may also utilize the movie through four phases. They are warm-up activity, completion, categorization, and production. Bringing a movie that has many benefits into EFL classrooms may lead to a good comprehension of English allomorphs to the students.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the potential of Facebook Group (FbG) for teaching essay writing skills in the period of social distancing due to covid-19 pandemic. The study involved three groups of students who had been attending Essay Writing Course. Data was collected through questionnaires, interview, home assignments, and documents. Questionnaires were distributed via Google Form. Interviews were conducted with students through WhatsApp chats and calls. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse data obtained from closed questionnaires, home assignments, and mid-term test. Data from open questionnaires, interviews, and documents was analysed using qualitative inductive approach to identifying themes – topics, ideas, and patters of meaning. Study findings indicated that FbG has been an appropriate place for developing essay writing skills amidst the pandemic. FbG as networking site has made possible an effective, efficient, and practical essay writing learning for the following reasons.  Firstly, FbG discussion forum provided invaluable learning input. Secondly, FbG was easy to operate. The students could learn independently at their own pace.  Lastly, use of FbG brought them convenience and raised confidence to better engage in learning online. FbG has supported students’ essay writing learning process that has led to good writing performance. This can be seen not only from the conducive learning process in comparison to traditional classroom instruction prior to the pandemic, but also from learning outcome apparently observed in writing portfolios as well as mid-term test.

Abstract

 In the 21st century, due to the advancement of Information and Communication Technology, the importance of English usage has increased. English teachers face considerable challenges in teaching students. Moreover, with the outbreak of COVID-19, the government issued some regulations to prevent COVID-19 transmissions at schools by changing conventional learning methods to e-learning. There are a lot of online learning applications. One popular application is Telegram Messenger. Therefore, the study aimed to determine the students' response to the use of Telegram in English class during COVID-19 pandemic and identify the obstacles they experienced when applying this application. The research respondents were the ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Kawunganten. The study was a survey using quantitative method with descriptive statistics to analyze the data. Moreover, the research employed a close-ended questionnaire. The result of students' response to the Telegram usage was 81%, resulting in the "strongly effective" category. This result indicated that Telegram was beneficial for students and very effective in English class. However, students still faced some obstacles with an average of 70%, and it indicated the level of difficulty was high. The highest problem percentage occurred in the students' concentration and motivation to study that decreased during the e-learning.

Abstract

Teaching is to create environment for students to learn. However, there are times when students become reluctant to learn. One reason is the given learning tasks are irrational. A good example in the ELT context is a common reading comprehension class in which the teacher gets the students to produce oral or written answers to a series of ‘wh’ questions that follow a reading passage. It is too demanding. This paper aims to propose EFL learning tasks that adopt (or adapt) option-based techniques in an attempt to facilitate students’ learning. The paper begins with the rationale behind the adoption of each technique. Then, it discusses things to consider when preparing the tasks. A selected sample of such techniques for ELT will be presented in the last part of the paper.Keywords : Option-base tasks, ELT, techniques

Abstract

This study dealt with the philosophy behind the Banyumas traditional wedding ceremony of Begalan. The aims of the study were (1) to classify the main ideas or themes delivered in the cultural event and (2) to identify linguistic items used in the cultural event in relation with the Banyumas people's cultural characteristics. The research data were collected through observation and interviews. Notes were taken, and the traditional ceremony performers' speech and source person's interviews were recorded. Data were analyzed through coding and classifying procedures. For data validation triangulation was also conducted. The research results have shown that (1) there are, at least, •2 main ideas or themes delivered in the cultural event of Begalan, i.e: the aim of conducting the traditional wedding ceremony and the philosophy behind the cultural artifacts that were made available in the ceremony. The philosophy consists of wishes that the newly-built family not go through stormy days; (2) the adoption and adaptation of words from other languages or outside Banyumas dialect Javanese indicates the adaptability of Banyumas people toward other cultures, and the use of relatively rude words, the expression of impolite intentions and the porno-oriented actions in public reflect the frankness or straightforwardness of this kind of people.
