Abstract

This research entitled ‘The Effect of Teaching Writing Using Process-Based Approach and Product-Based Approach on the Quality of SMA Students’ Hortatory Exposition’ had been conducted at SMAN 12 Ambon to see how these two approaches took their effect on the samples. The research underwent three major steps: pre-test, treatment, and posttest. The sample of research was two science classes of grade eleven. These two classes chosen as the samples as their previous year achievement on English had closely similar means. Since the data distribution was normal and homogenous then the research continued by taking parametric statistics to analyse post-test so independent t-test was applied for analysing the post-test to see the effect difference. The analysis on the post-test showed that there was no effect difference on the quality of students’ hortatory exposition between the students taught using process-based approach and the students taught using productbased approach. This was caused by students’ low skill and unfamiliarity to English and the short duration of experiment.

Abstract

The purpose of the research was to find out whether there is a correlation between intrinsic motivation and speaking proficiency. The correlation research was conducted with the assistance of a motivational questionnaire and speaking proficiency level as the instruments. Twenty nine respondents, who were the students of the English Department of Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya, participated in the research. They took part in filling out the questionnaire and giving out their recent Speaking Class grade. The data gathered were soon correlated using Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient formula. The findings show that there is a moderate correlation between intrinsic motivation and speaking proficiency. Having Intrinsic Motivation in the process of learning a foreign/second language helps people to achieve better speaking proficiency. And through the research, the writer suggests that motivation is indeed an important factor for the success of language learning and acquisition in all aspects and skills; therefore, educators and learners should perceive the importance of being intrinsically motivated. The writer also suggests that in the future time, there should be deeper researches regarding the types of motivation, as well as the orientations of motivation.

Abstract

The need for the teaching of English as a foreign language in Indonesia has been felt by almost all levels of society, especially in big cities. Without realizing the schools readiness, society has put a great expectation on the success of the English teaching. In fact, the success of the English teaching is also influenced by the parents’ involvement in the school program. Parents’ involvement will be beneficial when parents and teachers have the same perception about instructional programs, including the assessment of the students’ achievement. The study proves that parents and teachers have similar perceptions of some aspects of the English achievement assessment but different perceptions of other aspects of the assessment. In some respects, such as the function of test, the types of tests used to assess students’ English achievement, parents and English teachers are of the same perception. In other respects, however, such as the level of difficulty, the validity of the test, and the materials covered in the test, they are of different perception. This mismatch of perception may cause problems for the teachers, parents, and students.

Abstract

This study focused on the washback effects of classroom tests administered in Junior High School in Indonesian EFL contexts. To obtain the expected data two sets of questionnaires were delivered to the teachers and the students of Junior High schools in Surabaya, Indonesia. Likert scales were used to measure the obtained data. The study revealed that both teachers and students tried hard to prepare classroom tests. Passing classroom tests seemed to be the priority rather than the learning objectives themselves. Exercises for classroom test were therefore mostly given to the students. The materials learned by the students were mostly those students believed or predicted to be the materials for the tests. To some extents thus classroom tests may have both negative as well as positive effects Key Words: Washback Effect, Classroom Tests, Necessary and Unnecessary Decisions.

Abstract

According to the 2013 Curriculum, English learning materials for both senior high school and vocational high school are equalized. However, it is suggested that the English learning materials for vocational students should be more specific than those for senior high school students because they need to learn specific areas of English in accordance with their major. Finding proper English textbooks for vocational students focusing on their major is not an easy task. In addition, most vocational school teachers also do not have any sufficient time to design the English materials for the vocational students. Therefore, it is recommended to develop the English materials which meet the students’ needs and demands, particularly intended for Tourism Program. In line with those problems, the researcher used ADDIE method which stands for analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation as a research design as suggested by Aldobie (2015). Two validators were involved to validate the textbook and they responded positively towards the materials. Furthermore, after using the textbook, three students and a teacher of tourism program were interviewed. They later agreed that the textbook was suitable and was considered to be fun in the learning process.
