Abstract

Issues related to the need of English at higher education continue to be a discussion among scholars. Many believe that there is a positive relationship between English language skills of university students and their academic performance, and that English language skills are highly valued as a graduate attribute for employability. However, there are still few actions taken to gain information regarding which specific English language skills needed by educators and academic support staff. Universitas Brawijaya (UB) as one of the prominent higher education institutions in Indonesia is continuously taking actions to keep improving the quality of its graduates. One of the actions is to help its students to have a decent level of English language skills in order to help them to be ready to compete in work market that is going global. To reveal English language skills needed by bachelor graduates of the university as well as the reasons behind the need, sets of questionnaire were distributed to the educators in this case represented by the deans and academic support staff and the heads of academic support units both in the faculty and university level. The data from the questionnaires were then analyzed qualitatively. The findings of this study demonstrated that the educators need Reading and Writing skills more than the other two skills. This finding supports the idea that reading and writing skills are desperately needed to increase the number of publication in UB. Different from this result, the academic support staff perception on the need of English for the employees is on speaking skills. They think that speaking skills are the most needed skills for the employees to be able to handle the guest, and as a speaker of the units.Keyword: need of English, English language skills, higher education

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe shifting of curriculum from School-based to curriculum of 2013 which has been regulated under the Government of the Republic of Indonesia’s Regulation number 32 year 2013 about the alteration of Government Regulation number 19 year 2005 about National Standard of Education has some consequences in several factors. One of them is on the elimination of English subject in elementary school. Meanwhile, English is still badly needed in elementary school level. As a result, English is still offered in elementary school level but not as a subject. Instead, it is offered as a compulsory extra curricular for students. However, there was problem in its implementation which was caused by the different materials taught while the test administered was the same. As the consequence, the target for achievement could not meet the Minimum Mastery Criterion. It is even worse thatEnglish score becomes one of the requirements for enrolling in Junior High level. Thus, uniformity of syllabus and teaching materials for English subject for elementary school students is deemed necessary. Local values needs also to be embedded in the teaching materials to be developed as it is important in providing character education and reinforcing nasionalism for students. Prior to material development, a guideline for development is required.  Thus, need analysis and local wisdom-based syllabus development for elementary school level becomes the focus for this research. ABSTRAKPerubahan kurikulum tingkat satuan pendidikan (KTSP) menjadi  kurikulum 2013 untuk tingkat sekolah dasar berkonsekuensi pada berbagai faktor. Salah satunya adalah penghapusan mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris pada tingkat sekolah dasar. Sedangkan permintaan masyarakat masih besar terhadap pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris di tingkat sekolah dasar. Dengan kondisi seperti sekarang ini, Bahasa Inggris tetap diberikan di tingkat sekolah dasar bukan sebagai mata pelajaran namun sebagai ekstra kulikuler wajib. Pada pelaksanaannya, timbul masalah karena tidak adanya keseragaman materi yang diberikan pada siswa padahal Bahasa Inggris diujikan di ujian sekolah. Sehingga target pencapaian Bahasa Inggris tidak bisa memenuhi Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (KKM). Ironisnya lagi, nilai Bahasa Inggris adalah sebagai salah satu syarat untuk masuk Sekolah Menengah Pertama. Maka dari itu, perlu adanya keseragaman silabus dan buku ajar Bahasa Inggris untuk sekolah dasar. Kearifan lokal juga dimasukkan dalam pengembangan buku ajar Bahasa Inggris untuk menanamkan pendidikan karakter dan penguatan rasa nasionalisme bagi peserta didik. Sebelum mengembangkan buku ajar, perlu ada acuan sebagai dasar pengembangan. Maka, dalam penelitian ini, dilaksanakan analisa kebutuhan dan pengembangan silabus untuk buku ajar berbasis kearifan lokal untuk sekolah dasar. How to Cite: Sartika,  D. H.

Abstract

Public speaking anxiety poses great challenges to developing these skills. It is estimated that approximately 15% to 30% of the general population suffer from public speaking anxiety, which is the most common type of social phobia. Excessive public speaking anxiety can lead to enormous stress and frustration, impaired speech performance, and further avoidance of social situations that require making public presentations, especially for students. This study aims to investigate the level and the factors that mostly occurred among university students in public speaking. The researchers used a questionnaire of Public Speaking Anxiety (PSA) by Noorrachima (2020) and made the senior students of the English Department as the respondents for this research. The result of the study showed that the PSA level of the seniors of ELEP UB is high and the general sense factor is the highest chosen factor that triggers their public speaking anxiety.
