Abstract

The teaching of English as a foreign language in Indonesia (abbreviated TEFLIN hereafter) takes place within the context of the national education system, which is also influenced by what happens in other major systems of which one is the political system. It follows that whatever change happens in the political system will certainly affect the education system, and whatever happens in the education system will in turn influence TEFLIN. The shift from the centralized to decentralized system of government, as stipulated in Law No. 22 of 1999, has required fundamental changes in the education system. Through an Education Bill, passed on June 11, 2003 by the Parliamnet, major changes have been proposed, with the shift from a highly centralized system to decentralized open system being the most fundamental reform. School-based management requires active participation of all stakeholders in the decision-making processes. All of these changes certainly have implications for TEFLIN in general and EFL teachers competencies in particular.

Abstract

Under the auspices of the Centre for Curriculum Decelopment, a three-cycle action research study was carried out in three primary schools in Yogyakarta with the aim of developing a model of teaching English to primary school students. The model consists of five parts: Opening, Content Focus, Language Focus, Communication Focus, and Closing. The model, requiring that learning tasks involve active participation of students, both physically and mentally, supported by the use of media suitable for young learners, was developmentally fully implemented. The results showed that efforts were mostly made to establish teacher-student rapport in the first cycle, in which success in classroom management was gradually reached. This led to the easier second cycle, which was characterized by increasing teacher talk (classroom English), the use of interesting media, and more active students participation in the tasks involving various games which successfully elicited students English. All of this was solidified in the third cycle. The conclusion is that with the three aspects being focused successively, teacher-student good rapport being established, various media being used, and competing and cooperative tasks being assigned in balance, joyful and effective learning is likely to occur.

Abstract

The context of the teaching of English in Indonesia is indeed unique, leading to differences in the ease with which children have access to education. Those with great difficulty in accessing education have been and will be left behind by those without any or with little difficulty. Technology will certainly help in easing those in remote areas. The limited financial capacity, however, has made it impossible to have equity in educational access; the equity problem remains unsolved. Under such a complex environment, a more appropriate curriculum design should be sought. So far the same national standard has to be achieved by children. This paper explores possibilities of having a multi-standards English curriculum design aimed at providing every child to learn according to their abilities and rates of learning. A three-level standard curriculum is then proposed: the instrumental standard for highly advantaged children, the functional standard for those who are fairly advantaged, and the appreciative standard for those who are disadvantaged.

Abstract

Abstract: The teaching of English in Indonesia has so far been unable to reach its declared goal, which is the students mastery of the English macro skills listening, speaking, reading, writing. Various factors have certainly contributed to this failure, but the highly centralized curriculum has been one of the many to be blamed for it. The new system of regional autonomy gives ample opportunity to schools/ regions to develop their own curricula. This will lead to the need for the establishment of standard of English to ensure the achievement of the ultimate goal of teaching English throughout the country. This paper suggests that the development of standards for English should involve as many parties concerned as possible, including EFL teachers, EFL teacher educators, and users of school graduates. Another suggestion made related to the aspects to be covered in the standards, namely (1) the qualification of EFL policy makers, EFL teacher educators, and EFL teachers; (2) class size, (3) facilities and equipment, and (4) assessment and evaluation.

Abstract

This case study aimed to: (1) reveal how intercultural language learning occurred within a sister school partnership in an Indonesian public high school in Yogyakarta, and (2) describe student behaviours perceived to be indicative of intercultural language learning. Using an ethnographic approach through observations and dialogues, this study investigated real life interactions occurring among the research participants within the uniqueness of the partnership between an Indonesian public high school in Yogyakarta and its Australian school partner. The results showed that intercultural language learning occurred in the forms of learning experiences which engaged the students in interaction, observation and reflection with the target community. A number of indicators of intercultural language learning were revealed in the students behaviours within four authentic language experiences including exploring language and culture, noticing verbal and non-verbal cultural behaviours, making connections between home and the target language and culture, and reflecting on the development of a third or intermediate personal position between cultures.

Abstract

The use of writing strategies has been widely acknowledged to improve students’ writing achievement. Due to lack knowledge of writing strategies, it is important for students to explore their learning strategies in writing. This study is aimed 1) to describe the students’ writing strategies preference; 2) to identify the difference in the writing strategies employed by students in every writing stage. A survey was conducted to one hundred and forty students majoring in English. The participants filled out the Writing Strategies questionnaire. The result indicated that the students’ writing strategies use fell in medium level. Moreover, there is no significant difference on students’ writing strategies used in every writing stage. However, knowing the students preference on writing strategies is beneficial both for students and the teachers.

Abstract

The Indonesian Testing Service Centre (ITSC) has developed an online standardized test called TOEP (Test of English Proficiency) as a fresh alternative for measuring the test takers’ listening and reading proficiency. To ensure its quality, the TOEP scores need to be validated against the scores obtained from another established standardized test, in this case the ITP-TOEFL. This study aimed at finding out to what extent the range of scores which are measured by TOEP can predict the scores obtained from ITP-TOEFL. A quantitative approach was applied in this study, focusing on the analysis of scores obtained by 1,048 people taking TOEP in 2016, 2017, and 2019 and 383 testees had taken both TOEP and ITP-TOEFL. A regression analysis was conducted to establish the prediction equation of TOEP to ITP-TOEFL. The range of scores of proficiency measured through TOEP was estimated using the advanced item response theory, especially the information function value. The results of analysis show that TOEP can predict test takers’ English proficiency in the range of minimum 310 and maximum 656.34 at the ITP-TOEFL scales. It can be concluded that TOEP has a good predictive validity to ITP-TOEFL.

Abstract

ABSTRACTGuessing game is a part of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), which will create an atmosphere for students to increase the desire to learn languages. However, learning with games makes students undisciplined and requires a long time. This study aims to determine the effect of learning English using a guessing game method on the speaking skills of elementary school students. The study is a one-group pretest-posttest design implemented at the Islamic Elementary School in Yogyakarta. The study sample consisted of 68 students in grade 6 in 2019. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The measured learning outcomes are speaking skills in pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, fluency, and understanding. The data were processed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that the students' speaking skills improved after learning with guessing games. The speaking skills that improved significantly are pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency. Grammar and comprehension, on the other hand, improved but not significantly. The conclusion is that the guessing game can improve the students' speaking skills even though it has not covered all of its aspects.ABSTRAKGame menebak merupakan bagian dari Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) yang akan menciptakan suasana bagi siswa dalam meningkatkan keinginan untuk belajar bahasa.
