Abstract

Letterland is a child-friendly, multi-sensory system to teach English for children. It is highly a sophisticated teaching technique that combines stories with pictograms of letters. However, many teachers claimed to have difficulties in implementing it properly. This study aimed to investigate how teachers perceived, planned, implemented and assessed Letterland in teaching English vocabulary and analyzed the alignment and misalignment of teachers’ perception, plan, implementation and asessment of Letterland. A case study as a part of qualitative research design was employed in this study. By using purposeful sampling technique, two English teachers from Star Kiddy Preschool Semarang were involved. There were four instruments to collect the data, namely questionnaire, interview, document analysis and classroom observation. The findings of this study revealed that the English teachers had positive responses to questionnaire data and interview data dealing with Letterland and its implementation. In addition, Letterland designed well in lesson plan by teachers. Nevertheless, Letterland technique was conducted less succesfully in the classroom. This was due to several problems such as limited time, lack of preparation and teachers’ lack of creativity. Furthermore, as the implementation of teacher’s assessment, it has already met the standard of assessment on curriculum PAUD 2013. At last, the alignment of those teachers’ perception, plan and assessment toward Letterland were related to each other. Eventhough teacher’s positive perception did not align with their implementation in the classroom. That was because teachers missed some stages that should be added in the classroom.

Abstract

This research is a qualitative study of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) practice. PjBL is one of the three main teaching and learning methods suggested in the implementation of the 2013 curriculum. Researches on the teachers’ perception were mostly on the benefits of PjBL, but their understandings of PjBL were commonly ignored. Meanwhile, the teachers’ beliefs and perceptions affect what they do in the classrooms. Their perceptions deeply influence the way they plan, teach, and perform assessments. Therefore, this study is aimed at evaluating how the teachers perceive, plan, implement, and assess PjBL in writing instruction. The result of this study is expected to enrich the practical concept and theory of PjBL. Besides, it is important for the readers, especially the teachers to either revise or improve their perception, knowledge, and understanding of PjBL, especially in writing instruction. To collect the data, the researcher used a questionnaire, document, classroom observation, and interview. The findings show that the teachers have several incorrect perceptions of PjBL. Their misperceptions lead them to make inappropriate PjBL plans, implementations, and assessments. Accordingly, it reveals the teachers’ perceptions of PjBL were compatible with their PjBL plan, implementation, and assessment. However, this compatibility did not show the appropriateness of the teachers’ PjBL practice due to several misperceptions of PjBL of the teachers.

However, many teachers need assistance in developing a suitable assessment system and instrument. Then it should be in line with the teaching and learning priorities of the 2013 curriculum, which enable teachers to challenge students' analytical and creative thinking. This study aimed to explain the development of project-based reading assessments to stimulate students' critical thinking and creativity of the tenth graders of X IPS 3 at SMAN 12 Semarang during the academic year 2018/2019. To construct project-based reading assessments, the researcher and the teacher collaborated. The module was revised based on expert advice until the main field testing was completed. The data collection methods were using a questionnaire, interview, observation, and examination to obtain quantitative and qualitative data. The study discovered that when students were given project-based reading assessments, their scores increased. According to the results of a paired sampled test, the students' mean score changed significantly after the post-test relative to the pre-test. Students' comprehension skills, critical thinking, and creative thinking have all improved as a result of project-based reading assessments. In conclusion, the project based assessment is applicable for teaching learning activities to stimulate high school students’ critical thinking and creativity.

Abstract

This study was focused on evaluating the realization of the assertive speech acts performed by the government and opposition teams in the NUDC Grand Final 2020. The analysis included the analysis of assertive speech acts, the comparison between the assertive speech act performed by both teams, and the pedagogical implication toward English education. The results of the study showed that twelve types of assertive speech acts were found in their utterances during their speech, such as asserting, arguing, informing, claiming, predicting, suggesting, stating, criticizing, rebutting, reminding, complaining, and reporting assertive speech act in which stating assertive speech act had achieved significant used during the government teams’ speeches. Meanwhile, arguing and criticizing assertive speech act almost reached the highest number of altogether just slightly below stating assertive speech act which confirmed that aside from the declarative statements employed within the arguments, the opposition team was revealed to show their strong disagreement toward the government team’s arguments. Moreover, the realization of the assertive speech act helps English education students to build their communicative skills by considering the purpose and structure of the assertive speech act. For further study, it is expected that future research could examine the combination of assertive speech act and the other speech acts in the debate since the speakers do not merely use assertive speech acts. Since this study also focused on the pedagogical implication for English education, it would be better if future research could scrutinize the implementation of speech acts during the ESL or EFL classroom.
