Abstract

English classes are currently developing. There are several classifications of English classes, for example Regular English Classes and Advanced English Classes. This research aimed to identify the differences between these classes, as well as find out students' perceptions about these classes. This study took 10 grade 11 students at SMAN 85 Jakarta as participants. This study used document observation sheet and interview questions as research instruments. The results show that in the Regular English Class, it is aimed to have more varied activities compared to the Advanced English Class. This is in line with the Regular English Class learning hours which are longer than the Advanced English Class. However, the implementation (seen in the Learning Activities part in the module) shows the Advanced English Class has more activities. This makes students prefer Advanced English Classes to Regular English Classes.

Abstract

Teachers offer corrective feedback to boost students' motivation. The importance of this study is because corrective feedback in education has an important role because students can find out the errors in writing English. Previous studies have examined Written Corrective Feedback in students’ writing. However, none had conducted a study on this topic at the school where the current study was conducted. This is the gap fulfilled by this study. This study aims to find out the types of student errors in English writing at a Junior High School in Jakarta and to find out the types of Written Corrective Feedback that are often used by the teachers there. This study used descriptive qualitative research methods. This study reveals that there are 13 types of errors found in students’ writing, which are singular-plural, word form, word choice, verb tense, adding a word, omitting a word, word order, incomplete sentence, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, article, and meaning not clear. The findings also reveal that Direct Corrective Feedback is the type of feedback that is mostly used by the teachers to correct students’ errors. It is hoped that future studies could elaborate more on the reasons why teachers prefer a particular type of Written Corrective Feedback.

Abstract

Textbooks play an important role in introducing students to various cultures. Majority of English teachers only concentrate on teaching four language skills rather than introducing culture to their students. It is critical to analyze cultural aspects in textbooks, particularly in English subjects, to ensure that the cultural values are represented in the English textbook. This study was conducted to find out multicultural values of the source culture and target culture that are represented in Buku Interaktif Bahasa Inggris, discover what techniques of multicultural values of the source culture and target culture are represented, and find out what culture is more represented in Buku Interaktif Bahasa Inggris. This study used content analysis method in order to collect and analyze the data. The result of this study shows that source culture is strongly represented in the textbooks, with National Geography as the multicultural value that mostly appears in the book, conveyed by Geographical Factors as the technique. This study could be useful for both teachers and authors as an input and evaluation so that cultural content can be included and considered in the textbooks or learning process.
