In the past, English language teaching (ELT) put more emphasis on the teaching of structure of the language. Meaning and contexts seemed to be neglected. However, over the past few years, the trend has changed. Grammar and structure (language forms) are not the single element of language learned in English language learning. Context should be taken into account when teaching and learning a language. In this paper, I shall discuss the relationship between contexts and language teaching, particularly English language teaching. In other words, this paper discussess discourse analysis in regard to ELT. Keywords: discourse analysis, English language teaching

Language Acquisition: The Interaction between Innate Capacity and Language Input Nurdiana Nurdiana
Journal of English Language and Culture Vol 5, No 1 (2015): Journal of English Language and Culture
Publisher : Universitas Bunda Mulia

Numerous studies on how language is acquired have been conducted for years and myriad theories on language acquisition have put attempts to explain how human beings acquire language, e.g. language learning through imitation, reinforcement, association, and the innateness hypothesis. This paper shall describe the language acquisition process through the innateness hypothesis. It argues that language is acquired through an interaction between innate capacity—an innate ability to produce words and utterances—and language input, the language acquired from the human surroundings. Keywords: language acquisition, language input, innate capacity

Integrating Cultural Awareness in English Language Teaching Materials Nurdiana Nurdiana
Journal of English Language and Culture Vol 1, No 1 (2011): Journal of English Language and Culture

Over the past few years, English has increased itself as a lingua franca of international community. Due to this fact, various problems have arisen in English Teaching. They regard to several aspects of English, e.g. grammar or vocabulary. In this paper, I shall discuss the importance of Integrating Cultural Awareness in English Teaching Materials, which I think is one of the most complex problems in teaching English as an international language.To me, culture is inseparable with language. For instance, when my students and I are discussing houses, we also talk about cultural differences regarding houses and the furniture. Americans, for example, do not use a “gayung” when they take a bath. I explain the cultural differences and tell the students that not all words in Indonesian can be translated into English because of the cultural differences. Also, the meaning of rooms designed in an American’s house is different. In Indonesia, the meaning of living room could be “ruang keluarga” whereas it is actually “ruang santai".To sum up, the materials used for English teaching should cover cultural awareness as the speakers of English not only come from the English-speaking countries, but they are also from the non-English speaking countries. Keywords: Cultural Awareness and English Language Teaching Materials

Language Functions in English Language Teaching Materials: A Case Study of Indonesian Secondary School Textbooks of English Nurdiana Nurdiana
Journal of English Language and Culture Vol 6, No 1 (2016): Journal of English Language and Culture
Publisher : Universitas Bunda Mulia

One of the materials discussed in local English textbooks for secondary school students is language functions. They cover speech acts such as making invitations, requests, or giving opinions. These speech acts should be performed based on meta-pragmatic information—that is when, where, and to whom it is appropriate to perform a particular speech act and what expression would or would not be appropriate in a particular context of culture and context of situation. This study aimed at examining the types and the frequencies of speech acts based on Searle’s speech acts taxonomy and investigating whether or not the language functions are realized based on meta-pragmatic information. One of the findings of this research was most of the language functions discussed in the textbooks are directives and expressives. Another finding was they lacked of meta-pragmatic information. For example, there was no explicit information about the relationship between the speakers, for instance, how close they feel to one another. Keywords: language functions, meta-pragmatic information

The pandemic is not over yet; Therefore, teaching and learning English with an online platform is still preferable. Like any other medium of instruction, an online platform has its challenges and problems, particularly in teaching English to lower-level adult learners. Shumin (1997) has mentioned several factors influencing the development of adult learners’ speaking abilities. They are age, sociocultural factors, emotions, self-esteem, empathy, anxiety, attitude, and motivation. In relation to online learning, Altakhaineh, Alhendi, Dweikat (2021) state that the problems faced by students and educators are similar. They are time management, teaching methods, lack of encouragement and motivation, and lack of knowledge regarding online teaching tools. This research, therefore, aims to investigate the specific challenges and problems of teaching English to lower-level students through Zoom in the Indonesian context. This research is unique because the class is participated by people from three areas in Indonesia. Since they come from different areas, the facilities and access that they have and can make use of will vary. The research will start with a pre-test. Then, the teaching/research will start from late October 2022 to early February 2023. The result of this research is to identify the specific challenges and problems of online teaching English to low-level adult learners and the method/s used/can be used to overcome them. Keywords: Challenge, Problems, Online teaching and learning, low-level, adult learners

The speech act of requesting is a speech act commonly found and used in daily conversations. It is an intriguing research topic of pragmatics, particularly pragmatics in materials development, which is a sub-topic of language teaching. Earlier studies of pragmatics in language teaching reported that English teachers tend to look down on pragmatic aspects when teaching the language, including being ignorant of sociopragmatic information about language use in English coursebooks. For this reason, this paper discusses the findings of a sociopragmatic analysis in a local English coursebook. A content analysis employing pragmatic and sociopragmatic theoretical frameworks and a pragmatic judgment task by a native speaker of American English was carried out to investigate the sociopragmatic information in the course book. Results indicated that it did not contain an adequate amount of sociopragmatic knowledge indicating sociopragmatic failure. Thus, it implies that the coursebook may not be reliable language input for pragmatic competence improvement.

Vocational learning in Indonesia at the upper secondary level provides a large portion of improving English language skills. Besides being used as a compulsory subject/college in schools and universities, English lessons are studied in the context of vocational education to bridge the world of education with the needs of industry and the workforce on a national, multinational, and international scale. The high need for a competent workforce, which can be seen from the ability to speak English, presents a variety of specific subjects in line with this condition. The subject variant in question is business English or 'business English'. Referring to this condition and examining the need for vocational education, Community Service activities (ABDIMAS) are carried out with the theme 'Introduction to Business English'. ABDIMAS is held at the Almakiyah Vocational High School (SMK) in East Jakarta. ABDIMAS was carried out in response to the needs of partners who felt that the English learning materials did not meet the needs of students and graduates who were required to be absorbed in the world of work. ABDIMAS is carried out through three sessions of a hybrid online and offline enrichment program for students. Each session is taught about what aspects are included in business English and linguistic aspects commonly used in business and work contexts. This activity is oriented towards increasing the knowledge and insight of the participants regarding (i) business conversations, (ii) formal and informal expressions in business communication, (iii) basics of email writing. The activity ends with an evaluation that broadly shows that the activities are carried out in line with the work context so that they do not focus on the theoretical and implementation levels.
