Abstract

Pemahaman siswa dapat diukur dengan beberapa cara. Salah satu cara untuk mengukur pemahaman adalah melalui portfolio dan penilaian alternatif. Penilaian formatif, di lain pihak, bertujuan untuk membentuk kompetensi siswa melalui proses. Untuk para siswa sekolah menengah pertama, keberadaan buku latihan dapat menjadi lebih penting daripada penjelasan guru itu sendiri. Di sisi lain, guru bahasa Inggris akan melakukan berbagai upaya untuk membuat para siswa dapat mencapaiKriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (Passing Grade). Berdasarkan observasi dan hasil dari item-item latihan, dapat dilihat bahwa jumlah siswa yang lulus passing grade mengalami peningkatan. Melalui kuesioner, para siswa juga mengungkapkan bahwa motivasi mereka mungkin distimulasi oleh isi dari buku latihan dan penampilan dari buku tersebut. Meskipun begitu, latihan diakui oleh siswa sebagai salah satu cara bagi mereka untuk lebih mudah dalam memahami materi dan penjelasan dari guru. Keywords: item-item latihan, penampilan bahasa Inggris, situasi kelas

Abstract

Sudah menjadi kesepakatan umum bahwa bahasa digunakan sebagai media ataupun alat komunikasi. Bahasa merupakan sebuah sistim yang sudah terorganisir dimana setiap unit mempunyai peran yang sangat penting yang juga sangat penting bagi unit unit yang lain. Di sisi lain, bahasa merupakan fenomena social, yang dapat dimaknai sebagai alat komunikasi antara orang per orang. Sebagai sebuah fenomena social, maka kemampuan bahasa seseorang berkembang sesuai dengan lingkungan dan siapa saja yang berada dalam lingkungan tersebut. Beberapa ahli menyatakan bahwa bahasa sebetulnya sebuah ilmu yang kompleks, tidak ada satupun sistim bahasa yang lebih mudah ataupun lebih buruk daripada yang lain. Komunikasi akan terjalin manakala pesan yang disampaikan oleh pembicara dapat diterima oleh sang pendengar/pembaca; selama mereka tidak berbagi konsep yang sama, maka komunikasi tidak akan berjalan dengan baik. Dalam pragmatic, pesan yang disampaikan oleh pembicara bisa saja dimaknai lain karena beberapa factor, seperti misalnya facial gestures ataupun mimic muka yang menyiratkan hal yang berbeda dengan pesan yang semestinya. Perbedaan status ataupun background , jenis kelamin, umur, dan juga power antara pembicara dan penerima pesan tidak dipungkiri sering menyebabkan penafsiran yang berbeda yang akan menyebabkan terhambatnya proses komunikasi, sehingga bisa dikatakan bahwa tujuan dari komunikasi yang efektif tidak terjadi. Hal ini pula yang masih sering terjadi dalm lingkup ruang kelas yang melibatkan antara guru dan murid dalam interaksinya. Perbedaan status dan power antara guru dan murid sering menyebabkan proses belajar mengajar menjadi tendensius, sehingga tujuan dari pengajaran mendapatkan kendala. Untuk memahami itu semua, setiap pembicara dan penerima atau pendengar harus memahami dan menerima prinsip komunikasi,dalam arti mampu menterjemahkan segala factor non bahasa yang terjadi secara berdampingan dengan proses komunikasi, agar proses komunikasi berjalan dengan baik, sehingga tujuan dari komunikasi akan berhasil dicapai. Kata kunci: classroom interaction,power, status,politeness.

Abstract

Communicative competence may be represented by the meaning or message delivered by the interlocutor in the spoken language or the writer in the written language. Though, in the written language, the lexical choice and the coherence which is employed by cohesive devices determine the readers’ expectation in understanding a text. In the final project proposal of English education program, the cohesive devices were identified, classified, calculated and interpreted to drawing conclusion. It was found that the highest percentage of ties was causal, followed by additive, adversative and temporal was the least. In the level of wording,conjunction used most to develop coherence rather than ellipsis. However, the final project was actually represented the level of understanding and competence of the students in writing, and it also may represented the portrait of learning evaluation from writing skill. It needs more timeand practices to write an acceptable written text which is culturally and semantically appropriate as English is not as a second language, but foreign language.
