Abstract

Teaching English for Young Learners is not as simple as people thought. There are a lot of things toconsider. One of them is fostering young learners to be multi-literate. It means that they need to master more than one skill in their life. The skills or abilities are listening, speaking, reading, writing, counting, et cetera, with the sources either from hardcopy (books) or softcopy (internet). Therefore, it is needed a medium to help the young learners to achieve multi-literacies, that it is a digital video. This mini-research aimed to use digital video to raise students’ multi-literacies in TEYL, by utilizing descriptive qualitative design. The mini-research was conducted in English course for the age of 9-10 years old. It was done for a month in total of 4 meetings, with duration about 60 minutes. The teacher was successful to use digital video combined with picture series.  The students felt happy and interested, since they firstly watched the digital video “sleeping beauty” before being asked to arrange picture series. The teacher also explored some vocabulary in the video and tried to contrast them with reality in surrounding. The kind of activity helped the young learners to communicate cross culturally.  In  fact,  communicating  cross  culturally  was  also  one  of  additional  skill  that indicated the students as multi-literate people. All in all, based on the findings of interview, the researcher also recommended conducting further research.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh informasi tentang pemilihan strategi belajar di kelas speaking oleh mahasiswa beda gender di IKIP PGRI Madiun. Penelitian ini di fokuskan untuk memaparkan bagaimana mahasiswa laki-laki dan mahasiswa perempuan meningkatkan kemampuan speaking dan untuk mengetahui mengapa mereka memilih strategi tersebut.Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Juli 2007 sampai Pebruari 2008 di IKIP PGRI Madiun. Berdasarkan masalah penelitian, metode penelitian ini adalah naturalistik kualitatif yang pada akhirnya bisa menghasilkan grounded-theory. Dalam penelitian ini ada 20 informan terdiri dari 12 mahasiswa perempuan dan 8 mahasiswa laki-laki. Data di peroleh melalui observasi, interview mendalam, questioner, dan analisa dokumen. Data yang terkumpul dianalisa menggunakan metode constant comparative buatan Glaser dan Strauss. Sedangkan questioner dianalisa menggunakan SILL yang dimodifikasi dari buatan Oxford dan penilaian speaking menggunakan FSI oral interview yang telah dilengkapi dengan table score dan konversinya.Hasil penelitian dipaparkan berdasar pada masalah penelitian yaitu: pertama,  mahasiswa perempuan menggunakan enam strategi belajar secara bersamaan pada saat berbicara bahasa Inggris didepan kelas meskipun frekuensi penggunaannya bervariasi, dengan score SILL antara 3,5 sampai 4,5. Kemudian alasan mengapa mereka memilih strategi tersebut dapat di kategorikan berdasar karakteristik informan dalam mempelajari bahasa, kepribadian, latar belakang psikologi dan latar belakang budaya. Berdasarkan karakteristik informan dalam mempelajari bahasa, mahasiswa perempuan lebih baik daripada mahasiswa laki-laki baik dari segi pengucapan, penyusunan kalimat yang gramatikal dan penggunaan penanda kesopanan. Dalam hasil penelitian juga terlihat bahwa mahasiswa perempuan sebagai pribadi yang sabar, lembut, juga pendengar yang baik meskipun sedikit dipengaruhi budaya Jawa yang cenderung memposisikan mereka sedikit lebih rendah daripada laki-laki. Beberapa mahasiswa perempuan juga terlihat cepat gugup dan lemah pada saat presentasi di depan kelas saat mereka sedang dating bulan. Kedua, berdasarkan questioner mahasiswa laki-laki lebih sering menggunakan dua strategi belajar yaitu compensation dan metacognitive strategies pada level medium dengan score antara 3,0 sampai 4,4. Berbeda dengan mahasiswa perempuan, secara psikologi mahasiswa laki-laki lebih baik karena mereka tidak mengalami masalah rutin bulanan. Lebih jelasnya, semakin banyak strategi belajar yang digunakan oleh mahasiswa maka kemampuan speaking mereka akan lebih baik.
