Abstract

Belajar bahasa yang baik dapat ditempuh dengan mempelajari budaya dari bahasa tersebut. Pembelajaran sebuah bahasa tidak akan sempurna tanpa menguasai budayanya.  Namun, hal ini berbeda dengan  pengajaran bahasa Inggris. Bahasa Inggris  merupakan bahasa lingua franca dunia,  yaitu bahasa yang dipakai  oleh orang–orang berbeda bahasa ibunya untuk saling berkomunikasi dengan berbagai tujuan. Hal ini menyebabkan timbulnya variasi bahasa Inggris yang digunakan oleh orang dari berbagai macam negara dan akhirnya terbentukalah berbagai macam jenis bahasa Inggris yang baru atau “New Englishes” dan aksen yang berbeda-beda. Akan membingungkan buat guru yang mengejarkan bahasa Inggris di sekolah dan menimbulkan pertanyaan seperti “Apakah penting mengajarkan budaya dari bahasa Inggris kepada murid dan budaya dari negara mana yang harus diajarkan kepada murid ketika seorang guru mengajarkan bahasa Inggris karena bahasa Inggris tidak  hanya milik negara Amerika dan Inggris saja, tetapi juga negara-negara lain juga memiliki hak yang sama terhadap bahasa Inggris. Tulisan ini mencoba untuk memberikan satu sudut pandang terhadap pengajaran budaya dari bahasa Inggris dan mencoba memberikan alternatif terhadap pembelajaran budaya bahasa Inggris.  Kata kunci: belajar bahasa Inggris, budaya, lingua franca dunia

Abstract

Gender discrimination in the workplace remains a significant challenge, affecting various aspects of employment, including hiring, promotion, and compensation. Despite advancements in gender equality, women are often treated less favorably than men, irrespective of their qualifications and performance. This issue is pervasive and can be influenced by deeply rooted cultural and religious beliefs that shape attitudes and decisions in professional settings. Women frequently face barriers to leadership roles and receive lower wages compared to their male counterparts. This paper explores the ongoing gender discrimination in workplaces, highlighting its causes and impacts, and proposes actionable strategies to foster a more inclusive and equitable work environment for all employees.

Abstract

In this descriptive quantitative study, thirty students from Universitas Muhammadiyah Aceh discuss the difficulties they had and the methods they used to get ready for the TOEFL. An 18-item questionnaire was used to gather the data, and the results show that the listening section presented the biggest issue, with 58.1% of participants finding it difficult to stay focused and limited in time. The reading portion, on the other hand, was thought to be easier, while some participants had trouble with vocabulary and time management. Students' strategies included using internet resources, with a significant emphasis on cognitive and metacognitive skills, such as TikTok, YouTube, and TOEFL-specific apps. Notably, frequent strategies for navigating the written expression and test structure parts included determining the core concept and closely examining sentence structure. These results imply that more students could benefit from focused listening exercises, improved training in metacognitive strategies, and expanded usage of online resources for TOEFL preparation. In order to better prepare students for the exam, educators might consider incorporating real TOEFL-like materials and time management advice into the curriculum.
