Abstract

The research questions triggering the current research are (1) what valuable ideas of tolerance and solidarity are expressed in Adang proverbs? (2) How are the ideas of tolerance and solidarity conceptualized in proverbs? (3) How are the value-bearing proverbs of Adang taught and transmitted from generations to generations? (4) How do people of Adang community put these ideas of solidarity and tolerance in practice in their daily life? To investigate the answers to the questions, descriptive qualitative method was employed in the research, where data gathering was conducted via observation and interviews. Data obtained were then analyzed qualitatively. To obtain valid and reliable data as well as valid and reliable results of data analysis, looping and triangulation were applied. The results show that there are at least four important ideas of solidarity (or in Durkheim terms: four conscience of mechanical solidarity) expressed in Adang proverbs, namely (1) solidarity in settlement/ housing, (2) solidarity in sharing of livelihood, (3) solidarity in friendship and networking; and (4) solidarity in poverty and prosperity. These concepts or ideas of solidarity are all pertaining to Durkheim’s mechanical type of solidarity. With respect to ideas of tolerance, two Adang proverbs of multi-contexts idea of tolerance are uncovered. All these ideas or concepts of tolerance and solidarity are conceptualized metaphorically, i.e, with comparison to natural phenomena, including wild-life both marine and agricultural. The concepts of tolerance and solidarity lessons are communally up-held in daily life of the community and are taught and transmitted from generations to generations via folk songs, tales and puzzles.

Abstract

Students' English speaking ability in schools in general is still low. There are various affecting factors. Some most obvious factors include limited English exposure to students in class (classroom language) and students’ motivation to learn English. English language exposure which is very important in foreign language learning is limited. Then, it is necessary to find a strategy which is potential to provide more English language exposure and motivation for students. This study aimed to examine: (1) the difference in speaking ability between students taught with the learning strategy on the bases of classroom language and those taught with conventional learning strategy; (2) the difference in speaking ability between students having high motivation and those having low motivation; (3) interaction effect of the learning strategy on the basis of classroom language and motivation to students' speaking ability. This study used a quasi-experimental research design. In particular, it employed factorial 2x2 version non-equivalent control group. The subjects were the twelfth grade students of SMA Negeri 5 Kupang, Indonesia. Two classes were randomly chosen, one as experimental group and the other as control group. Contextual learning strategy on the basis of classroom language was applied in experimental class whereas conventional learning strategy was used in control class. Data taken from both classes were then descriptively and statistically analyzed (ANOVA) using SPSS version 16.0 for windows. Results showed that (1) there was a significant difference in speaking ability between students in experimental group and those in control group. Contextual learning strategy on the basis of classroom language was more effective; (2) there was a significant difference in speaking ability between students in high motivation group and those in low motivation group. High motivation students were more successful; (3) there was no interaction effect of learning strategy based on classroom language and motivation to students' ability of speaking. Based on these results, teachers of English in general and those teaching at SMAN 5 Kupang in particular are recommended to use classroom language that provides more language exposure and motivation for students.

Abstract

This narrative inquiry study aimed to explore teachers’ views of their professional development practices. Qualitative studies are used to truly comprehend through “thick rich” descriptions what's happening (or not) from the standpoint of the English teacher in reference to their professional development practices and related impact on student outcomes. This study involved a purposeful sample of 3 English teachers of Senior High School level in Kabupaten Kupang, acknowledged by the chairperson of the English teacher working group of Senior High Schools in Kabupaten Kupang, (MGMP/Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran Bahasa Inggris SMA Kabupaten Kupang) as “committed” to a life-long love of learning and to applying new knowledge gained from professional development practices into their classrooms. These teachers reflected on the experiences they valued, how they employed their learning to support student-learning outcomes, the types of support they obtained, and the barriers they faced. The findings of this study show that teachers value professional development experiences that improve their teaching skills and offer applicable and practical knowledge. To be successful, teachers believe that they need more time to continue informal dialogue with colleagues while applying new learning. Additionally, to support colleagues, teachers benefit from the further assistance provided by internal coaches. Teachers experience barriers related to lack of time and sense of ownership, preconceived opinions, inadequate training, and management of non-compliant student behaviors. In reference to student outcomes, these teachers mainly used their observational skills rather than formal assessments to evaluate the impact of new teacher learning on student outcomes.

Abstract

Penelitian kualitatif ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi guru dan siswa terhadap pengajaran dan pembelajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing (EFL) di Sumba Hospitality Foundation. Persepsi guru dan siswa EFL berperan penting dalam proses belajar mengajar maka penelitian terkait hal ini harus dilakukan dalam banyak konteks. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui bagaimana guru dan siswa memandang pengajaran dan pembelajaran EFL di lingkungan mereka berdasarkan persepsi mereka sendiri. Dua kelas bahasa Inggris (masing-masing terdiri dari 15 siswa) telah diobservasi. Dari jumlah tersebut diambil 10 siswa secara acak dan seorang guru untuk dilibatkan dalam diskusi kelompok terpumpun serta wawancara terkait proses belajar mengajar di kelas. Berdasarkan analisis kualitatif, hasil temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guru dan siswa EFL memiliki sikap positif terhadap pelajaran bahasa Inggris. Kedua belah pihak pada dasarnya berpendapat bahwa bahasa Inggris sangat dibutuhkan dalam bidang studi mereka, yaitu perhotelan, karena mereka pada akhirnya harus menggunakan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa utama yang digunakan para pelancong, tidak hanya untuk memahami permintaan pelanggan tetapi juga untuk berkomunikasi. Sebagai calon staf perhotelan, siswa telah diarahkan oleh guru bahasa Inggris mereka untuk memahami pentingnya belajar bahasa Inggris sebagai mata pelajaran sekolah, dan berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggris sebagai keterampilan yang dianggap penting. Pemahaman ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya inisiatif yang dapat dimulai DPR RI, khususnya Komisi X yang membidangi pendidikan dan pariwisata. Sebagai pengambil kebijakan, Komisi X harus mengetahui kondisi dan perkembangan di pusat pelatihan seperti Sumba Hospitality Foundation, khususnya mengenai praktik dan manajemen pengajaran dan pembelajaran bahasa Inggris.AbstractThis qualitative study aims to discover teacher’s and students’ perceptions of teaching and learning English at Sumba Hospitality Foundation. Due to the fact that EFL teachers’ and students’ perceptions have a critical role in the teaching and learning process, more studies have to be conducted in contexts related to this issue. This study has been organized to investigate how both parties view EFL teaching and learning in their setting based on their perceptions. Two English classes (each consisting of 15 students) have been observed. Ten students were randomly chosen, and a teacher was invited to the focus group discussion (FGD) and an interview related to the teaching and learning process in the classroom. Based on the qualitative analysis,the findings indicate that both EFL teachers and students have positive attitudes toward English. Both parties recognize the urgent necessity of English within their field of study, namely hospitality, as it serves as the primary language for tourists, enabling them to comprehend customer demands and facilitate communication. As the future hospitality staff, students have been directed by their EFL teachers to understand the importance of learning English as a school subject and communicating in English as an essential communication skill. This understanding underscores the importance of initiatives spearheaded by the DPR RI, particularly Commission X, responsible for education and tourism. As policymakers, Commission X must be apprised of the conditions and developments at training centers like Sumba Hospitality Foundation, particularly regarding English teaching and learning practices and management.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the improvement of students' vocabulary using audio-visual media. This research is a Classroom Action Research conducted in 1 cycle, consisting of 4 stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. With 21 students, the research findings show that in the post-test, only 7 students (33%) achieved the KKM score (75), while 10 students (48%) were below and 4 students got average grades KKM. In the pre-test, only 4 students (19%) did not achieve the KKM score, while 17 students (81%) exceeded the KKM score. The description of learning outcomes using audio-visual media shows that 81% of students are in the complete category, and only a few students did not pass in the pre-test (19%). However, in the post-test, 33% of students did not pass. This illustrates that learning with audio-visual media has been going well and can support the improvement of vocabulary from the learning outcomes of audio-visual media. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers prioritize the use of audio-visual media in teaching subjects.
