Reading is an important skill that is needed in order to get information from written text. In reading, the students not only must be able to read the text, but they also must be able to comprehend the text in order to get the meaning from the text. However, many students have difficulties in comprehending the text and lacking motivation in reading. It is because there is a tendency that the teachers do not use an interesting strategy that can attract students’ interest. That is why this paper is conducted in order to explain how to use Uninterrupted Sustained Silent Reading (USSR) strategy in teaching reading comprehension to senior high school students. USSR strategy is conducted by providing the students to select their own reading material based on their interest and read it silently about twenty minutes without any interruption. This strategy can make the students relaxed and enjoyed the reading process. It is believed that this strategy can help many students in improving their reading comprehension ability. Key words: Reading, Reading Comprehension, USSR strategy

The students agree that the use of project based learning motivates students to learn and be more active in class, improves students’ collaboration and communication skills, and improves their time management skills. However, the students still encounter several obstacles such as students with a weakness in data collection having difficulties in the learning process, some students being less active in group work, and the time allocation. Students’ perceptions of project are influenced by several factors.

Abstract   Pada saat ini sistem pengajaran sudah semakin berkembang. Begitu pula dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggris. Namun dari keempat keterampilan berbahasa yaitu mendengar (listening), berbicara (speaking), membaca (reading) dan menulis (writing),pengajaran reading terutama di SMP masih banyak memiliki kendala, terutama pada metode pembelajarannya. Siswa masih mengalami kesulitan dalam memahami materi berbahasa Inggris dalam bentuk tertulis secara maksimal. Oleh karena itu, makalah ini membahas penggunaan QtA (Questioning the Author) sebagai sebuah strategi yang dapat digunakan untuk mengembangkan kemampuan pemahaman membaca siswa. Dalam penggunaan strategi ini, guru memberikan sebuah teks yang akan dibaca siswa bersama-sama setelah sebelumnya membagi teks tersebut dalam beberapa bagian. Kemudian guru mengajukan queries (pertanyaan diskusi pada QtA) pada setiap bagian yang berfungsi membantu siswa memahami teks tersebut. Jawaban yang diberikan siswa akan direspon guru dalam bentuk diskusi. Manfaat dari penggunaan QtA ini adalah untuk membantu siswa membangun pemahaman makna teks yang sedang mereka baca melalui queries dengan mempertimbangkan sudut pandang dan tujuan penulis.

Abstrak Penulisan artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendiskusikan tentang bagaimana meningkatkan partisipasi siswa dalam pembelajaran speaking di Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP) dengan menggunakan Time token strategy. Speaking merupakan salah satu keahlian yang harus dikuasai siswa dalam mempelajari bahasa Inggris. Dalam pengajaran speaking, siswa dituntut untuk dapat berbicara secara akurat dan lancar serta mampu berpartisipasi aktif dalam pelaksanaan kegiatan belajar-mengajar. Akan tetapi, siswa sering mengalami beberapa masalah diantaranya masalah yang terkait  dengan strategi yang digunakan guru di kelas. Dalam mengajar speaking, guru cenderung menggunakan strategi yang bersifat teacher-centered, sehingga siswa memiliki keterbatasan untuk berpartisipasi aktif di kelas. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, penulis memperkenalkan time token strategy. Dalam strategi ini, siswa menjadi fokus utama dari pengajaran (student-centered). Pengajaran menggunakan time token strategy dimulai dengan guru membagikan empat kupon kepada masing – masing siswa. Setiap kupon bernilai ± 15 detik. Setiap selesai berbicara, siswa harus menyerahkan satu kupon kepada guru. Guru akan memberi siswa nilai sesuai dengan jumlah waktu yang digunakan. Jika siswa sudah menggunakan seluruh kuponnya, mereka tidak diperbolehkan untuk berpartisipasi lagi. Demikian seterusnya sampai semua siswa berbicara. Sehingga tidak ada siswa yang tidak aktif dan tidak ada juga siswa yang mendominasi untuk berbicara di dalam kegiatan belajar. Penerapan time token strategy akan meningkatkan kemampuan dan partisipasi siswa, terutama dalam speaking.

AbstractThis research was a descriptive quantitavie research about English students’ ability in using lexical collocations viewed intheirspeaking performances. The uses of lexical collocations has been concerned as the 2013 batch English students had been practicing English at classes they had taken and at schools they had taught their temporary students. Lexical collocations indicated natural English which knowledge of it is necessary to gain as they are going to teach their students in the future. 18 students who had done PLK activity were involved in speaking test and interviews. The lexical collocations found in students sentences were analyzed and the types were classified to see the correct uses or collocation problems. It was found that the students’ ability in using lexical collocations was poor. All types of lexical collocations were used with different proportions with Verb and adjective and Adjective and Noun as the most frequent types of lexical collocations used. The problems were frequently of Verb and Noun and Adjective and Noun types. The causes of the problems were the limited knowledge of lexical collocations, the ignorance of the use of lexical collocations, and the use of direct translation from L1 to L2. It is concluded the more lexical collocations used, the more possible problems to occur.

This study is aimed to find out the students difficulty in understanding native and non-native lecturer which based on two aspects: linguistics and non-linguistics difficulties. It was also followed by the comparison of students difficulties in understanding both of lecturers.This study was conducted at English department students of Universitas Negeri Padang in academic year 2017/2018. The population of this research are all English education students in academic years 2017/2018 with the total number 95 students. Based on the population, the samples of this research are two classes: the first class are taught by native lecturer and second class are taught by non-native lecturer with the total number 64 students. This research used the descriptive collaborative method and used questionnaire as the main instrument followed by interview and observation to support the data from questionnaire. This research found that native lecturer tend to give more linguistics problem to the students rather than non-linguistics problem especially in lecturers accent and vocabulary understanding. Related to non-linguistics problem, lecturers speed placed the highest percentage. However, non-native lecture did not give significant difficulties but the higher percentage showed in non-linguistics problem especially in the way of lecturer in giving explanation.

Abstrak Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk membahas bagaimana pengajaran speaking dengan menggunakan strategi jazz chants. Pelaksanaan pembelajaran menggunakan strategi jazz chants ini harus melalui dua tahapan utama. Pertama adalah tahap persiapan. Dalam tahap ini guru mempersiapkan segala materi dan topik yang sesuai dengan tingkatan siswa kemudian mempersiapkan pertanyaan-pertanyaan untuk menuntun siswa mengembangkan ide-ide dalam berbicara.  Tahap kedua adalah prosedur mengajar. Tahap ini terdiri dari tiga proses yaitu; pre-teaching, whilst-teaching dan post-teaching. Dalam pre-teaching, guru melakukan kegiatan warming up yang dapat mengaktifkan latar belakang pengetahuan siswa tentang topik yang akan dajarkan. Whilst-teaching dibagi menjadi tiga bagian: (1) eksplorasi; (2) elaborasi dan; (3) konfirmasi. Guru akan menggunakan strategi jazz chants pada bagian eksplorasi dan siswa disuruh mengaplikasikan strategi ini pada bagian elaborasi. Pada proses post-teaching guru menyimpulkan materi yang telah diajarkan dan menutup pelajaran. Kata Kunci: jazz chants, teaching speaking, Junior High School students
