Abstract

In this study the researchers sought to develop a pattern of reading teaching in the English for Public Relations course. The development of the pattern researchers realized in the reading exercise pattern using news text media. This certainly will arouse the curiosity of the participants, compared to the pattern of practice materializing formal texts or even reading texts with old themes. The use of news texts that are more casual in nature certainly can be used as a benchmark for students' reading skills, especially in honing the scanning and skimming skills they have learned before. How fast the participants in reading and understanding the meaning they read is the target of success that the researchers saw, so that in the future researchers can find other ways to apply the method of scanning and skimming with other text media.

Abstract

In an ELT environment, English debate is a good extracurricular activity. As a result, it is becoming a noteworthy event in school or university. The goal of this study is to investigate an English teacher's debate teaching approach in an Indonesian high school. The training method utilized was crucial since it improved students' understanding of the knowledge acquisition process (Wegner e. al., 2013). Observation, interviewing, and documenting were used to obtain data, which was then reviewed qualitatively using a case study technique. The findings revealed that the instructor used successful teaching strategies to help the students' debate team win the competition. Regular debate practice, brainstorming, using the 3M concept, and encouraging students were among the teacher's training strategies. Meanwhile, the students' reaction has been positive.
