Abstract

This study sought to measures the foreign language classroom anxiety of the English Department students of a university in Indonesia and to compare the anxiety across independent demographic variables of gender and length of study at the department. The literature shows that foreign language learning anxiety affects one’s achievements in learning a foreign language. Data were collected through administration of the adapted version of Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale to 96 students selected through stratified random sampling technique. The anxiety was assessed through Rasch analysis while analyses for significant difference in the anxiety across the two independent variables were conducted using tests of inferential statistics. The findings show the existence significant number of students who tend to be highly anxious in learning English. The findings also indicate a significant difference in the students’ anxiety across the independent variable of semester where semester 4 students tend to be more anxious than those of other semesters. No significant difference in the students’ anxiety was found across the independent variable of gender. The implications of these findings were then discussed.

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of contextual teaching and learning approach on students’ reading comprehension achievement. The quasi experimental design was employed in this study involving experimental and control groups. The experimental class received the contextual teaching and learning approach while the control class received the conventional approach. A multiple choice test was used as the research instrument to look at students’ reading comprehension. Data were analyzed through using the parametric levene statistic and non parametric tests. The result revealed that the experimental and control classes had significantly different reading comprehension achievement. It was proved by the mean score of reading comprehension achievement and mean score of gain of the experimental class was higher than the control class. This study also provided information for the researchers and lecturers about how to implement contextual teaching and learning in teaching reading.

Abstract

This study seeks to synthesize research findings on problems in implementing the 2013 Curriculum in schools across the country. The terminal objective of this study is to construct a large picture of the issue across different contexts of the synthesized studies. Drawing on Qualitative Metasummary variant of the Qualitative Metasynthesis Method, data were collected through online searching of relevant research reports available in several databases. Data analyses followed the procedure suggested by Sandelowski and Barroso (2007) on 81 research reports. Findings of this study show that problems in the implementation of the 2013 curriculum can be grouped under ten topical categories, namely 1) teacher’s readiness; 2) assessment; 3) learning resources; 4) infrastructure; 5) introduction and training; 6) learning process; 7) time allocation; 8) student’s readiness; 9) regulation; and 10) monitoring and supervision. It was also found that 4 out of the 7 anticipated problems in the pre-implementation public assessment period of the curriculum exist in the synthesis.  It is therefore suggested that: 1) Continuous monitoring and assistance by related authorities of the implementation of the 2013 Curriculum is needed to help teachers and schools deal with the identified problems; 2) as teachers’ readiness seems to be the central problem in the implementation, solving this problem also help ease the other problems; 3) as the current study only on focuses the problems in the implementation of the curriculum, it does not necessarily mean that the curriculum is void of advantages and strength. Therefore, the researcher recommends research that looks into this side; and 4) as most of the anticipated problems existed in the synthesis, there seems to be so far inadequate control and follow-up of the valuable anticipation. Therefore, in the future, close attention and immediate actions should be taken to address such issues.

Abstract

This research sought to assess the validity and reliability of the Indonesian translation of the Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory (BALLI) and using it to measure Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ Beliefs About Language Learning (BALL). Data were collected by administering BALLI to 58 conveniently sampled English department students at a state higher education institution in Indonesia. Data analyses were conducted within a stochastic modeling approach using the Rasch analysis method. The results show that the inventory meets the psychometric property criteria  of  a valid and reliable instrument  for  a meaningful measurement of BALL within a stochastic modeling approach. The majority of the participants believed that everyone can learn to speak English, some languages are easier than others, the most important part of learning English is learning new words, it is important to practice a lot, and they wanted to learn to speak English well.
