Abstract

The use of authentic materials for language teaching is common. Yet, there is not much information about what type of instructional materials benefits learners. The purpose of the study is to find empirical evidence of whether non–fiction authentic materials are more superior that fiction authentic material. The researchers used an experimental design to answer the research question. The population of the study was all students who took an essay writing course at University PGRI Wiranegara in the academic year 2019-2020. The sample was taken by using a systematic random sampling method which results in two equal numbers of students in two experimental groups. Group A was taught with non-fiction authentic material, while group B was taught with the fiction authentic material. The researchers used ANOVA to analyze the data in SPSS 22. The process of teaching and learning followed the writing as a process approach and was done in a blended-learning setting because of the pandemic of COVID 19. The result shows that there is no significant interaction between content type and proficiency level (F(2,30) = 1.347, p = .275). The main effect of content type on writing performance was not significant (F(1,30)=.001, p .973), but the main effect of proficiency level on writing performance is significant such that the students who have a higher level of writing proficiency have better performance than the students who have a lower level of writing proficiency  (F (2,30) = 5.653, p .008). The researchers conclude that both types of authentic materials are equally effective to improve the students’ essay writing performance.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan meningkatkan pemahaman siswa kelas VIII terhadap teks informasi dengan metode Read Aloud. Melalui tiga siklus penelitian tindakan kelas, evaluasi efektivitas metode dilakukan untuk identifikasi strategi peningkatan partisipasi dan pemahaman siswa. Hasil awal menunjukkan siswa lebih paham teks fiksi daripada informasi, sedikit yang dapat mencari info dan jelaskan ide. Di siklus pertama, Read Aloud diterapkan dengan guru baca utama, meningkatkan pemahaman tapi siswa masih pasif. Siklus kedua libatkan siswa baca nyaring dan diskusi, fokus pada teknis membaca. Siklus terakhir tekankan pemahaman teks dengan guru-siswa bergantian baca, hasilnya meningkat signifikan. Namun, target keberhasilan belum tercapai. Penggunaan bertahap metode Read Aloud efektif tingkatkan pemahaman, terutama ketika siswa aktif. Rekomendasi termasuk terapkan Read Aloud konsisten, variasi pembelajaran, evaluasi dan refleksi kontinyu. Studi ini menekankan perlunya penyesuaian lebih lanjut tentang kegiata Read Aloud untuk hasil lebih optimal.

Abstract

This study examines common pronunciation errors in English diphthong, specifically /aʊ/ and /aɪ/, among tenth-grade AKL students at SMK PGRI 4 Pasuruan. It analyzes the causes of the mispronunciation errors and strategies to tackle the challenges. The qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through observations from students reading a narrative fable titled Mouse and a semi-structured interview.  The analysis identified frequent errors, including simplifying diphthongs into single vowels or substituting them with incorrect diphthongs, caused by first-language interference and limited exposure to authentic English pronunciation. The intervention was conducted in two sessions. In the first session, students read the fable aloud, and pronunciation errors were identified and addressed through guided practice. The second session involved reviewing recordings of their initial readings, comparing them with native speaker examples, and practicing in groups to improve accuracy. Targeted phonetic interventions significantly improved students' pronunciation accuracy and confidence. The study highlights the importance of structured, phonetic-focused activities in enhancing English pronunciation among non-native learners.

Abstract

Being literate is not merely able to read and write a language. Schools and classes are calling themselves as having a literacy program so as to facilitate their students with literacy behaviors. Hence, students are mostly literate only with the materials from school. They tend to read and act like literate students at school where the teachers are around. However, whether they are truly literate through other literacy behaviors is another question to ask and will be answered in this article. As seen that the purpose of this article is to know whether students considered themselves as literate students as well as to describe their literacy behaviors. It is stated earlier that literacy behaviors are not only related to reading and writing, whereas those will be stated more clearly in this article. The target respondents of this article to fulfill the data were the English Education Study Program students of Universitas PGRI Wiranegara. They were given an online questionnaire and answered several questions related to their knowledge and self-evaluation about literate and literacy behaviors. The result shows that they are aware of being literate students and, interestingly, they have various subjects and activities referred to literacy behaviors. Through realizing the students’ literacy behaviors, teachers/lecturers will be able to design certain materials and assignments which are in the area of students’ comfort as well as not neglecting the need for challenges.
