Abstract

In creating successful communication, pronunciation is one aspect which should be mastered well by EFL learners, particularly by prospective teachers who will later become role models for their students. One of the essential pronunciation features is stress. Although sometimes neglected, stress is said to have necessary implication for one’s speaking skills. This study attempted to reveal the problems in verb stress placement encountered by prospective Indonesian EFL teachers. The data were obtained from the recording of their class presentations. The verbs uttered during the presentations were categorized into verb types depending on the number of syllables, i.e. disyllabic verbs, trisyllabic verbs, and tetrasyllabic (or longer) verbs, and then analyzed in terms of their pronunciation accuracy. From the analysis, it could be concluded that there were two kinds of problems in placing verb stress which the prospective Indonesian EFL teachers encountered, namely they misplaced the stress and they put double stresses on a verb. Most of them put the stress on syllables which could not obtain any stresses, such as suffixes. Meanwhile, some others put double stresses on either trisyllabic verbs or verbs with four or more syllables, where, in fact, such stresses could only be obtained by disyllabic verbs.

Abstract

Classroom Action Research (CAR) was aimed at improving the tenth MIPA 1 graders’ vocabulary mastery of SMAN 1 Ngaglik through English songs. Two cycles of classroom action research were conducted by integrating English songs into learning activities. Each cycle consisted of four stages: Planning, Acting, Observing, and Reflecting. In gathering the data, the researchers used two instruments; a pre-test and post-test, and a questionnaire. The pre-test and post-test scores were used to see the improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery. Subsequently, the questionnaire was used to find out the students’ perspectives on the use of songs in English class and the impact of English songs on the students’ vocabulary enrichment. The criteria for success were the average of the students’ post-test scores that should reach 80 and the existence of a positive impact on the students’ vocabulary mastery. The findings demonstrated an increase in the students’ post-test scores, whereby the average of those scores in the two cycles was beyond 80. The findings unveiled a positive perception of the English learning using songs and an increase in the students’ learning motivation in learning vocabulary. In conclusion, the use of English songs in learning had boosted the students' vocabulary mastery.
