Abstract

This research was conducted to develop English teaching materials for students based on the 2013 curriculum, especially on basic competencies 3.4 and 4.4 about Ordering, Invitation, and Asking for Permission, for the eighth-grade students at MTs Madani Pao-Pao. The researchers used R&D with the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation).

The results indicated that the students' needs for English material of Ordering, Invitation and Asking for Permission unit are different, starting from the material organization, the content of the material and the characteristics of students. The English material used in madrasah is still general and it is not integrated with Islamic values. Therefore, "Let`s Break the Fast together" was chosen as the topic for the unit of Ordering, Invitation, and Asking for Permission based on the questionnaire. The product of English language material has been made and validated by the experts using a validation checklist, and the results of the validation checklist show that the material can be used as another references in learning Ordering, Invitation and Asking for Permission in junior high schools, especially in Islamic junior high schools. Therefore, the researchers recommend that the developed material can be used by eighth grade students in MTs Madani Pao-pao to improve their knowledge about Islamic phrases, and other researchers implement the product to evaluate its practicality and efficiency.

Abstract

The pronoun ‘we’ is understood only to refer to the first-person plural. In fact, the pronoun ‘we’ can also refer to other references. The primary purpose of this study is to examine the different uses of the pronoun ‘we’ by EFL teachers in classroom interaction. This study employed a qualitative approach by using three instruments: observation, audio-recorder, and interview in collecting the data. The subjects of this research are two English teachers and the second-grade students at a vocational high school in Makassar. The data were analyzed by formulating Miles et al.’s method of analysis. The result of this study shows that, in classroom interaction, the pronoun ‘we’ can refer to six distinct references: (1) ‘we’ that refers to speaker and more than one addressee, (2) ‘we’ that refers to speaker and more than one-third party, (3) ‘we’ that refers to speaker and indefinite group, (4) ‘we’ that indicates ‘you’, (5) ‘we’ that indicates ‘I’, and (6) ‘we’ that indicates “they”. From the interviews, the researchers found that both teachers have different reasons for using the pronoun ‘we’ in classroom interaction. The first teacher intends to use the pronoun to help him create an enjoyable learning environment and establish better relationships with the students. In contrast, the other teacher uses the pronoun ‘we’ to show politeness to the students. Despite the differences, they both seem to have the same intention of creating a positive learning environment.
