Abstract

Parental involvement of primary students is essential since it can contribute on their educational outcomes and development. Especially for learning English as a foreign language, parents play the prime source in developing their engagement and responsibility to have positive academic achievement in their early development. As well as their teachers, parents need to connect with school activities and be responsible in providing services to the children in education delivery. In this study, teachers’ perception of parental involvement in the process of learning English of primary students was investigated.  It focuses on analyzing perception of three elementary school teachers who had experience in teaching English for more than 15 years. Data were collected by conducting semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis (Braun Clarke, 2006). Descriptive case study was used as the research design because of the phenomenon that occurs in the involvement of parents in learning English to primary students. The results of this study involve three major themes. They are; 1) students' language development 2) teachers feeling, and 3) cooperation carried out by teachers and parents. As a conclusion, relationship between parents and teachers can have a positive impact. It opens valuable opportunities for children to develop language skills (especially English), and allows brilliant English achievements.

Abstract

As one of the reflection tools for pre-service teachers, the students’ feedback becomes the basis for improving and developing their teaching skills. This reflection is really valuable so that they can use to evaluate the way they behave in their EFL classroom and to gather information from the students about their perceptions of teacher practice. In this study, the contribution of students’ feedback to the teaching performance of a pre-service teacher when doing teaching practicum was investigated. Using narrative inquiry design, this study focused on examining the experience of one of pre-service teachers during three months teaching practicum. Data were obtained from the diary written by the participant after teaching and getting feedback from six students in one of vocational schools in Tasikmalaya.  Furthermore, the data were analyzed using narrative analysis (Ozyildirim, 2006) in order to find the use and contributions of this reflection tool for her teaching performance. The findings show that students' feedback becomes the valuable tool encouraging the pre-service teacher to frequently reflect and evaluate what she did in the classroom. It helps her to see the progress of her teaching performance from the students’ point of view and also figure out her strengths and weaknesses in teaching. Therefore, she can usually create better teaching performance and provide effective interaction and techniques in the classroom.
