Abstract

This Classroom Action Research aimed at investigating the implementation of Concept Mapping Technique to improve students’ descriptive writing ability. The research was conducted in two cycles at SMP Negeri 21 Samarinda, with 37 seventh grade students participating. In this research, there was one teacher- researcher who implemented the technique and there were two collaborators who did the observation. The data were collected both quantitatively and qualitatively by using writing assessment, interview guide, observation sheets and field notes. The findings showed that: 1) there was an improvement in the students’ descriptive writing average scores at the end of the second research cycle; 2) the implementation of the concept mapping technique was done properly by the teacher- researcher; 3) the concept mapping technique delivered through collaborative working improved the participation of the students in the teaching and learning process. Since all the criteria of success in this research were fulfilled by the end of the second cycle, it could be concluded that this classroom action research was successfully implemented and the technique proposed could very well improve the skills being targeted.DOI: doi.org/10.24071/llt.2018.210107

Abstract

This paper will address the potentials of implementing a modified version of a particular shared book reading activity called ‘Dialogic Reading’ as an alternative activity to facilitate the learning of listening and speaking skills of EFL learners. Dialogic reading itself is defined as a form of shared book reading activity in the form of a dialogue between the readers (usually between or among adults and children, both in a one-on-one or a small group reading setting). To date, the existing studies have indicated that Dialogic Reading is an effective activity for young learners to learn basic reading skills, vocabulary, oral language and narrative skills (Whitehurst, 1992; Zevenbergen Whitehurst, 2002; Ping, 2014; Ping Syamdianita, 2015). However, considering the highly interactive, input-rich, multimodal learning environment that Dialogic Reading brings, this activity can also possibly be adapted and modified to facilitate the learning of listening and speaking skills for learners of different age groups and levels. Therefore, in this talk, I will discuss firstly the conceptual framework and then report the recent empirical study on the implementation of Dialogic Reading to improve young adult EFL learners’ receptive and productive skills I have been conducting starting early this year.

Abstract

Reading texts or passages from textbooks are commonly used as learning materials in the Indonesian EFL context. This leads to the emergence of readability or reading level analyses for EFL reading materials using conventional formulas which, unfortunately, were originally developed for either English as L1 or L2 context. Moreover, there are alternative readability formulas for EFL materials that are relatively newer yet still underused in the field. Hence, this current descriptive study aimed to address this gap by attempting to analyze the reading texts in three Senior High School English textbook series published by the Ministry of Education and Culture, using formulas measuring the readability level without grade-levelling and using simplified EFL reading materials. In this study, the two specific formulas employed to conduct the readability level analysis were Miyazaki EFL Readability Index and McAlpine EFLAW formula. The results showed that the overall Miyazaki EFL readability score of all reading texts in the 10th, 11th, 12th grade English textbooks was 50, categorized as having a “standard” difficulty. Meanwhile, based on the analysis using McAlpine EFLAW readability formula, the overall readability score was 20.86, which was considered as “very easy to understand”. Eventually, it could be concluded that the two formulas could be conveniently used to analyze the readability level of all the reading texts in the textbook series. Moreover, the texts could be deemed as of “suitable and understandable” level for the intended EFL students in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Children from low socioeconomic backgrounds in Indonesia have been facing challenges in terms of their literacy and language development. One of the possible reasons is that they are not used to receiving meaningful early reading interventions such as shared reading during their pre-school attendance. This phenomenon has brought to light the urgency of having an early intervention, which can accommodate the very diverse linguistic and cultural context of Indonesia- a multilingual and multicultural country. Methodology: This study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-method research design. The first phase was conducted in a quantitative one-group pre-experiment with pre-and post-test design. The second phase of this research was carried out in a qualitative case study through classroom observation and informal interviews with the teacher and the children. Findings: The findings of MLU calculation showed that for the pre-test, the mean score was 2.35, the median was 2.20 and the standard deviation was 0.53. Meanwhile, for the post-test, the mean score was 3.72, the median was 3.18 and the standard deviation was 1.38. The qualitative phase explored two main aspects, namely the implementation of dialogic reading activity by the teacher and the teacher as well as children’s opinions regarding the dialogic reading activity. Conclusion: This current study has offered an insight that dialogic reading activity could be well implemented by the teacher in a typical Indonesian pre-school setting. The dialogic reading activity was also found to contribute significantly to the development of children’s expressive language ability. Originality: The findings of this study have indicated dialogic reading potentials in terms of promoting children’s language development and just as importantly, sparking children’s joy of reading since their early years of formal education. Therefore, it is suggested that early childhood educators and parents work hand in hand to incorporate dialogic reading activity into their daily literacy practices at schools as well as at home.

Abstract

Problem-solving is one of the skills that is crucial to equip students to face a variety of challenges in the future as well as related to the development of their lifelong literacy skills. One of the potential solutions for promoting students’ problem-solving skills is introducing Computational Thinking. However, in the context of schools in East Kalimantan, both teachers and students have not been familiar with Computational Thinking. Therefore, this current pilot study aimed at introducing Computational Thinking to teachers, especially primary school teachers, by developing a workshop and a module suitable to the local contexts and needs. This study involved 22 primary school teachers from Kutai Kartanegara Regency who had no prior knowledge and experience concerning Computational Thinking. The teachers were trained the basic concepts of CT and how to implement CT in the class especially in relation to literacy aspects. Afterwards, the teachers were assigned to develop a CT-infused lesson and did a self-reflection on the process. The findings from the post-workshop questionnaires indicated that most teachers showed positive attitudes towards CT and implementing CT in their lessons. Furthermore, they also voiced out that they would like to learn further about CT, particularly related to Literacy and the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM).
