Abstract

A textbook is an inseparable part of the teaching and learning process. This research was aimed at discovering pre-service teachers’ perception of the ELT textbook, Buku Bahasa Inggris for Students grade XI. This qualitative study involved 18 pre-service teachers who were doing their teaching practicum in different senior high schools in Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara Province. They were chosen purposefully by the researchers and voluntarily engaged in semi-structured interviews to discover their perspectives on the English textbook they used during their teaching practicum. The results showed that they had mixed opinions about their textbooks, ranging from positive to negative, depending on various factors such as their learning objectives, preferences, expectations, and experiences. The observations and conclusions from this study may be useful for educators and coursebook designers in developing English coursebooks that can improve students' motivation, engagement and language learning outcomes.

Abstract

One of the focuses of education today is assessment oriented to the higher-order thinking skills. This skill encourages students could be able to think critically, analytically, systematically, particularly in the context of problem-solving, communicating, and collaborating with peers. However, not all educators have been able to construct the items test based on the skill needed. The purpose of this community service is to provide the knowledge related to the construction of item tests that oriented to the higher-order thinking skills of 45 Senior High School teachers. The methods used to achieve this objective were lecture, question answer, discussion, and presentation. The result showed the trainees understood the nature of the construction of the test-oriented to the higher-order thinking skill in the learning process. From the four meetings done, the trainees could be able to classify and construct the tests oriented to the lower-order thinking skill, medium-order thinking skill, and higher-order thinking skill.

Abstract

Kemampuan berkomunikasi dalam Bahasa Inggris bagi Mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris merupakan sebuah keniscayaan. Namun, berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggris membutuhkan usaha keras, motivasi yang tinggi, dan didukung oleh lingkungan yang memadai. Artikel ini menginformasikan tentang hasiL penelitian survei yang dilakukan untuk mengetahui kesulitan mahasiswa dalam berbicara Bahasa Inggris, faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan masalah itu terjadi dan cara-cara untuk mengatasi masalah-masalah tersebut. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada banyak mahasiswa yang dengan tekun melatih berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris, namun, ada juga mahasiswa tertentu yang tidak pernah melatih berbicara bahasa Inggris. Masalah-masalah yang dihadapi mahasiswa dalam berbicara bahasa Inggris seringkali disebabkan oleh factor kepribadian, yaitu mahasiswa malu dan takut untuk berbicara, metode mengajar guru yang kurang efektif dalam pembelajaran, dan tidak adanya lingkungan yang memaksa mahasiswa untuk berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris. Untuk mengatasi masalah-masalah tersebut guru diharapkan mampu menerapkan metode yang bervariasi dalam pembelajaran berbicara, memotivasi mahasiswa untuk lebih memperhatikan isi pembicaraan saat mereka menyampaikan pendapat, dan mendorong mahasiswa untuk terus melatih berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris di setiap kesempatan

Abstract

This study aims to explore the difference between the field independent (FI) and field dependent (FD) learners in the area of EFL critical reading skills. To this end, 60 undergraduate EFL students who had taken and passed the Critical Reading course involved as the subjects. The Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT) was administered to classify the students’ cognitive styles into FI and FD groups. Furthermore, to measure the students’ critical reading skills, the critical reading comprehension test (CRCT) in the form of multiple choice questions was developed and administered. The test items were focused on assessing students’ analytical and inferential skills of reading texts, specifically on determining the main idea, the purpose, the tone, making an inference and taking conclusion. The findings indicate that there is a statistically significant difference in the critical reading skills between FI and FD students. More specifically, the differences are in determining the main idea, determining the purpose, making an inference, and taking the conclusion of the texts in the CRCT. Pedagogically, selecting appropriate reading texts to be used in Critical Reading course practice for developing the students’ critical reading skills will be beneficial for both of FI and FD students.
