Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate students’ views toward the use of the Think-Pair-Share teaching strategy on their oral communication skills. The primary focus of this study was to investigate the possible effect of the Think-Pair-Share teaching strategy on the students’ oral communication skills. The secondary purpose was to know the students’ view toward the application of this teaching strategy based on their experiences. Based on the purpose of the study, investigations were done by using interviews. The interviews were done with four participants consisting of the chosen students based on their experience. Zoom application was used during the interviews. Audio recordings were transcribed into text and translated into English. The keywords extracted from the transcriptions were used to determine the coding. Furthermore, the themes were reported as the study's findings and then supported by previous research. The result showed that the Think-Pair-Share teaching strategy could help the students enhance their self-confidence and could be helpful in improving their oral communication skills on condition that the students use English as the medium of discussion. Meanwhile, the findings for the secondary purpose revealed that the students found this teaching strategy was quite helpful in improving their teamwork and critical thinking skill. The students also felt that this teaching strategy offered varied activity, thus making the class become less boring. The findings reveal that the Think-Pair-Share teaching strategy needs to be implemented carefully in order to achieve its full effectiveness. As the implication, the Think-Pair-Share teaching strategy could be applied considering the advantages and the effects for the students.

Abstract

Corpus linguistics is widely recognized as a branch of linguistics that analyzes and derives insights from authentic language usage, as it emphasizes on the use of large electronic collections of texts referred to as corpora to analyses real-world language use. The rise of corpus linguistics has closely followed advancements in computer storage capacity and processing speed. This study seeks to develop a nationwide English language training program for elementary school teachers. In the initial stage, training modules was designed for these teachers. The research employed the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate), utilizing interviews and questionnaires as data collection instruments, followed by the implementation of the training modules through direct instruction. The participants of this study were 19 elementary school teachers. The findings indicate that incorporating corpus linguistics into the training significantly reduced teachers' anxiety, enhanced their fluency, and improved their overall competency.  Future research should explore strategies to better support teachers’ professional language development and enhance English instruction in elementary schools.
