Abstract

This study explored the difficulty index, the terms for the category for reading text level, and cognitive levels of reading texts in the English textbook, Interlanguage, for Senior High School grade 12. The primary aim was to determine the extent to which the degree of the available different categories of reading text levels included the cognitive level of questions. Through the readability test formulas for difficulty index and a checklist based on revised Bloom Taxonomy for cognitive skills, 11 reading texts completed with 56 reading comprehension questions were analyzed. The result revealed that the Interlanguage textbook contained four different categories of reading level such as difficult, fairly difficult, plain, and fairly easy to read. The textbook had in the average category of fairly difficult to read for difficulty index and contained fewer HOTS–based questions than LOTS ones (34% < 66%). Besides, higher reading text levels included fewer HOTS-based questions than those of lower ones. This means a higher level of cognitive skill of questions may appear in any text with a different level of difficulty index. This suggests that the English textbook should be revised to have more HOTS-based question items for developing the students’ high cognitive levels.

Abstract

This paper aims at discussing the role of EAP in preparing students planning to study oversea based on Indonesia context. The success of one’s study in a foreign university where English is as medium of instructions can be determined by how well his capability to use both spoken and written English. We might often find a students, though, in fact, smart in his discipline, get unsatisfactory result, or even fail in completing his studies because of English. Normally if one has good English performance during EAP program, he might have no trouble  facing his future studies in English. Previous experience of conducting EAP program has proved how the program could contribute to the overseas studies of the EAP participants. Therefore, EAP program needs to be well prepared for the needs of academic purposes. The major concerns to address to the students is the study of English skills. Since the EAP program should begin with General English (GE) and then Academic English, the language level of learners, course length, target, and materials should be considered. If the average of baseline TOEFL score of students is above 450 as a reference for example, the number of hours for AE should be much bigger.

Abstract

Writing scientific articles is a skill that must be owned by a teacher and the usage of Mendeley technology in writing scientific articles is a supporting facility in obtaining qualified scientific papers. Therefore, the execution of training activities needs to be carried out with the purpose of enhancing the motivation, knowledge, and abilities of high school English instructors in the city of Palembang. The activity model carried out is mentoring with the lecture approach, discussion, peer and tutor feedback and assignments. Evaluation of activities is carried out by administering tests and questionnaires as well as monitoring and documenting articles produced by the teacher. The findings of the evaluation demonstrated that the enthusiasm, knowledge, and skills of teacher participants in writing scientific articles increased. However, teachers still have issues using Mendeley as a citation and collaborative tool.
