Abstract

In Indonesian context, writing is considered as painful activity indicating that oral culture is much better than writing one. The students’ works are sufficiently kept in the libraries, although to publish those is much more worthy. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the students’ writing skills through a meaningful way namely writing journal article. This review article is therefore intended to discuss ways of improving students’ writing skills through writing journal article. The result of consulting different existing related literature can be concluded that the ability of writing can be variously defined based on the pedagogical objectives and approach. Meanwhile, the skill of writing journal article is classified as one of the writing skills derived from Process/Cognitive approach. Amongst the underlying ways to publish the students’ manuscripts is by taking a look at the structure of a journal article, the writing guide and the writing style of a journal publication to which the manuscript is intended to publish. By implementing the above mentioned tips of writing a journal article, the EFL students will not only improve their writing skills but make their works much worthy as well. In a nutshell, in addition to publish the students’ works, to write journal article is essential to improve their writing skills.

Abstract

People agree that reading is essential skill to get any knowledge in order to get the success of life either academically or socially. Reading needs to be embedded and nurtured because it is not a born skill. Still, the fact shows that EFL students in Indonesian context have not established good habits in reading English, as also experienced by EFL students in IAIN Tulungagung who are also categorized as reluctant readers due to their lack of vocabulary knowledge and number. Many studies on Extensive Reading (ER) indicate its positive impact on nurturing good habits of EFL reading in English. Accordingly implementing Extensive Reading Program to help them build love of reading is necessary. This article is then intended to dig up their responses on the implementation of ER program to the establishment of their love of reading. This research objective was achieved by distributing Reading Log during implementing Guided Extensive Reading Program (GERPro), distributing Questionnaire, and conducting interview to those involved in this ER program. The result of this research reveals that the EFL students joining this ER program claim that for those who do not establish good habits in reading English, ER proved to be able to embed their awareness of love of reading in English, and for those who already built reading love in their mother tongue-Indonesian language, their reading love in both Indonesian language and English gets increased. In addition, this GERPro contributes to the establishment of EFL students’ love of online reading. In short, this research result can be pedagogically implemented by EFL teachers who would like to help their students nurturing good reading habits in English. However, for those who are moody, this GERPro does not work well. Consequently, the next researcher needs to conduct a research on how to work with moody EFL students so that their reading habits can be well established.

Abstract

An English teacher should be able to develop English instructional materials which are more culturally appropriate to his students’ cultural context. This is important to help them learn English in their own areas in terms of either the context or the content of instruction which then bring about producing the joy of learning English. Therefore, this paper discusses about my journey of implementing a theory-based practice method to teach students of teacher training education of English Program of IAIN Tulungagung in developing English Instructional Materials. In implementing this method I explained some theories related to developing English instructional materials and the students were guided to do need analysis and to practice developing the materials of English instruction. With this method the students focus on practicing English materials development based on the theories taught. The results of this research indicate that the students have rich learning experiences in developing instructional English materials in accordance to their own selected level of education compared to using fully theory based method to teach English Material Development (EMD).
