Abstract

For decades, newspapers have become a daily need for people across the globe to update information. There is a tendency of the people to believe in the news published in newspapers, for media is considered neutral. In Indonesia, 212 rallies are the events that were widely reported as headlines for weeks by national and international newspapers. This study showcases the brief portrait of The Jakarta Post representations on the 212 rallies by its use of linguistic properties, to see whether The Jakarta Post is impartial in delivering the news. This study employs Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) strategies and applies the analytical tools drawn from Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG). The data were taken from sixteen 212 rallies related news, including seven headlines, collected from The Jakarta Post archives. The result of this study reveals that by using transitivity and conceptual metaphor, The Jakarta Post tends to stand on the side of the one being protested, and oppose the rallies. This finding suggests newspaper readers to read the information in newspapers more critically, to understand the use of lexicon as well as the structure of sentences to conclude the right interpretation of the news and to realize the representation. By doing so, newspaper readers will not simply accept the news they read.

Abstract

This comprehensive qualitative study delves into the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic on teacher professionalism, particularly in the domain of English language teaching (ELT) in Indonesian senior high schools. Teachers hold a pivotal role in any education system, with their professionalism gauged by the mastery of certain competencies and skills tailored to meet the demands of the teaching profession. In the realm of foreign language education, the overarching goal is to equip learners with essential communication skills, necessitating the design of classroom activities that encourage learners to express themselves effectively through language. The onset of the pandemic posed unprecedented challenges to this goal, forcing a rapid transition to online and offline hybrid learning models and demanding flexibility and innovation from teachers. This study, conducted at MAN 2 Parepare in 2022, explores how English teachers responded to these challenges, analyzing their teaching strategies and techniques to maintain the quality of education amidst this turbulent period. The study identified four primary strategies employed by teachers - expository, inquiry, contextual teaching and learning, and problem-based instruction. Teachers adapted these methods to foster an engaging learning environment that caters to the unique challenges posed by the pandemic, such as virtual classrooms and social distancing measures. The study reveals not only the teachers' adaptability and resilience but also their commitment to nurturing their students' linguistic abilities, even in times of crisis. Furthermore, the study uncovers the difficulties faced by these professionals, providing a clear picture of the pressing need for targeted support and professional development initiatives in these exceptional circumstances. The findings of this research have broad implications for policymakers and educators alike, highlighting the importance of fostering teacher professionalism and adaptability in the face of adversities and contributing to the ongoing discourse on effective English language teaching during a global pandemic.

Abstract

Pengajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing di tingkat sekolah dasar (SD) di Indonesia sudah dirasakan mendesak untuk ditingkatkan implementasinya untuk menyiapkan generasi emas Indonesia yang mampu aktif terlibat dalam komunitas global. Namun demikian pengajaran bahasa Inggris di SD menghadapi banyak kendala dalam hal implementasinya. Salah satu kendala umum yang banyak dihadapi adalah kemampuan pedagogik guru yang relatif masih kurang dalam mengajarkan bahasa Inggris kepada siswa SD. Pelatihan mengajar bahasa Inggris dengan metode PPP yang diberikan kepada beberapa guru SDIT di Kota Makassar bertujuan untuk memberikan solusi atas permasalahan tersebut. Pelatihan ini berlangsung dengan tiga tahapan: tahap persiapan, tahap pelaksanaan, dan tahap evaluasi. Berdasarkan hasil dan pembahasan dapat disimpulkan bahwa pelatihan ini dapat memberikan solusi atas salah satu permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh guru dan sekolah khususnya dalam hal implementasi pengajaran bahasa Inggris di SD. Diharapkan kegiatan pelatihan ini dapat memberikan dampak positif bukan hanya kepada peningkatan kempetensi pedagogik guru tetapi juga kepada peningkatan kemampuan bahasa Inggris siswa sekolah dasar secara umum.
