Abstract

Authentic Assessment is one of important aspects in 2013 Curriculum promoting an idea of assessing students’ authentic skills including speaking. However, many teachers claimed to have difficulties in implementing it properly. This research aims at explaining the English teachers’ perception and implementation of authentic assessment for speaking based on 2013 Curriculum in state senior high schools in Semarang. Descriptive qualitative method is applied in this study. By using purposive sampling technique, sixteen English teachers from sixteen state senior high schools in Semarang were involved. There were four instruments to collect the data, namely questionnaire, interview, document analysis, and classroom observation. The findings of this research revealed that the English teachers had good perception of authentic assessment for speaking both in the concept, preparation and implementation. However, in the actual implementation, it was proven that the teachers did not apply authentic assessment for speaking as required by 2013 Curriculum. This was due to several problems such as limited time, teachers’ lack of creativity, students’ motivation and other reasons. Abstrak Penilaian otentik adalah salah satu aspek penting dalam Kurikulum 2013 yang mempromosikan gagasan tentang penilaian kemampuan otentik siswa, termasuk kemampuan berbicara. Namun, banyak guru yang mengaku mengalami kesulitan dalam mengimplementasikannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan persepsi dan pengimplementasian penilaian otentik untuk kemampuan berbicara berdasarkan Kurikulum 2013 oleh guru bahasa Inggris di sekolah menengah atas negeri di Semarang. Metode deskriptif kualitatif digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling, enam belas guru bahasa Inggris dari enam belas sekolah menengah atas negeri di Semarang terlibat. Ada empat instrumen untuk pengumpulan data, yaitu kuesioner, wawancara, analisis dokumen, dan observasi kelas. Temuan penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa para guru bahasa Inggris memiliki persepsi yang baik tentang penilaian otentik untuk kemampuan berbicara, baik dalam konsep, persiapan maupun implementasinya. Namun, dalam implementasi aktualnya, terbukti bahwa para guru belum menerapkan penilaian otentik untuk berbicara seperti yang dipersyaratkan oleh Kurikulum 2013. Hal ini disebabkan oleh beberapa masalah yang dihadapi oleh para guru seperti keterbatasan waktu, kurangnya kreativitas guru, motivasi siswa dan alasan-alasan lainnya.

Abstract

In foreign language classes, students very often intend to express their ideas to listeners, but they realize that their linguistic or semantic structure is not available, then they give a pause before continuing their utterances. It means that they used communication strategies to close the gap between linguistic competence and communicative competence. Furthermore, many aspects related to the students’ communication strategies, one of that is language proficiency. This qualitative case study is set to investigate: (1) the use of communication strategies of students; (2) the language proficiency level of students; (3) the influence of communication strategies to the language proficiency. There are twelve students with high and low proficiency levels as the subject of this research which was taken purposively. They are the second-semester students of the English Education Department at IAIN Kudus in the academic year of 2019/2020. In this study, the researcher used observation, interview, and documentation as the sources of data. It is intended to address the research questions. The results revealed that (1) The students used stalling or time-gaining type and sub-types, namely fillers and self-repetition in which the most popular form of filler was “ehh, eee, and ehmm”; (2) High proficient students were infrequently to produce the error of grammar. While low proficient students often used non-verbal language. It means that students with high proficiency level can process words so that their utterances are more understandable; (3) Communication strategies influenced the language proficiency. It is because high proficient students are able to share their ideas and opinions freely than low proficient students who regularly produce errors of grammar. This study provides valuable contribution in introducing communication strategies and raising students’ awareness to actually use English in real-life communication.

Abstract

This study investigated the use of structures of lexical bundles, functions of lexical bundles, and the relationship between structures and functions of bundles in conversation texts. For the purposes of the study, the BahasaInggris textbook, published by the Ministry of Education and Culture(2018), was chosen to be analyzed. In the process of collecting the data, a set of tables was used. The first table was used to collect data to analyze structures of lexical bundles based on Biber's (2006) theory. The second table was used to collect data regarding Biber and Conrad's (2005) theory for functions of lexical bundles. Procedures for analyzing data consisted of steps, including reading, categorizing, and analyzing. This study revealed that, firstly, personal pronoun + lexical VP (e.g. we are going to) identified as the most frequent structure of bundle appeared in the conversation texts.Secondly, stance expression had a high proportion of the most recurring function of the bundle. They are used for expressing desire, intention, ability, obligation, and showing certain and uncertain feelings. Moreover, there were relationships between the functions of bundles with particular structures. In conclusion, improving the teaching quality can be built based on the appropriateness of the textbook. The teacher needs to pay attention to the English book that they will use, especially those that provide enough materials for enhancing students’ formulaic competence

In an English teaching and learning process, teachers and students have interactions that occupy the students’ first language. It can be related to the existence of code-switching. It can help them fill in the gap which occurs during a conversation. It can improve the quality of teaching and learning. This study focuses on the analysis of code-switching in the interactions between the teacher and the students with different levels of language proficiency. This study examines how the teacher produced code-switching, the students’ responses towards the teacher’s code-switching, and the teacher’s roles code-switching. This study employed qualitative research. The instruments used for collecting data were audio-video recording, test, interview, and questionnaire. Findings of the study revealed that (1) the teacher used three types of code-switching to the students with different levels of language proficiency and the function of repetitive was the most frequent function found in the interactions, (2) the students responded to the teacher’s code-switching by using English, Indonesian language or code-switching, and (3) the roles of teacher as a controller and a director have the crucial use in the interactions. Hopefully, further studies can explore code-switching deeply in the interactions between teachers and students with different language proficiency levels in instructional settings.
