True experimental research was employed involving experimental group which was given Indirect Corrective Feedback and control group which was not given feedback. The instrument used was writing tests and the data were analysed by using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS).

Therefore, there are nine error aspects mainly analysed, those  are:  verb, noun ending,  spelling, word  form, word  order, pronoun, conjunction, missing and unnecessary word. The findings indicate that Indirect Corrective Feedback helps students to reduce errors in nine aspects. It is shown from the decrease of mean number of error in the post-test (12.17) which was lower than in the pre-test 27.07). It was also proven from errors performed in the pre-test as much as 388 and in the post-test as much as 250 from nine error categories.

Abstract

Visualisation has been used for decades as a strategy to help readers construct meaning from reading passages. Teachers across the globe have introduced visualisation mostly to primary students with native language background. They used the strategy to understand their own language. Little is known how this strategy works for university students who learn foreign language. Visualisation can be done internally (by creating mental imagery) and externally (by drawing visual representation). The product of visualising texts by using both models can be further investigated to find out if the meaning represented is appropriate to the meaning written in the text. This study therefore aims at exploring meaning by analysing the visual representations drawn by 26 English Education Department students of Syiah Kuala University after they read a narrative text. The exploration was conducted by looking at the image-word relations in the drawings. To do so, we consulted Chan and Unsworth (2011), Chan (2010) and Unsworth and Chan (2009) on the image-language interaction in multimodal text. The results of the analysis have found that the equivalence, additive and interdependent relations are mostly involved in their visual representations; and these relations really help in representing meanings. Meanwhile, the other three relations which are word-specific, picture specific and parallel are rarely used by the students. Further discussion of the results is provided in this paper.  Keywords:visual representation, image-word relations, reading for meaning.

Abstract

In an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom, most of the time the teacher cannot avoid the use of mother tongue in teaching and learning activities. This happens in some countries whose English is not their native language, including Indonesia. This paper examines the influence of first language used by a teacher in an Indonesian EFL classroom. The teacher and six tenth graders from a science classroom were involved in this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather in-depth data. The data were then analysed qualitatively based on the steps by Miles and Huberman (1984): data reduction, data display and data conclusion or verification. The findings indicate the teacher’s and the students’ perspectives on the use of first language in EFL classroom. Most of the students agreed the teacher includes the first language in their English classroom as it positively helps them in learning the target language. In addition, the teacher supports the students’ view because the inclusion of the first language in EFL classroom is considered a way to solve the students’ problem in learning the target language
