Abstract

This article aims at facilitating literacy empowerment for Indonesian students learning English by utilizing one of Indonesian English Newspapers, “TheJakartaPost” as a driving force of literacy. The rationale is that  “TheJakartaPost” newspapers have a built-in capacity to motivate students to be literate readers due to real life contexts of Indonesia, up-to date information, and frequently used words. This, at the end, will enhance their English skills. Some research found out that the main medium used by English teachers to empower literacy is a number of books. However, a number of research reveal that Indonesian students are poor in literacy. Of course, this reaseach finding correlates to poor litaracy in English which leads to low ability in English skills. Therefore, this article discusses pedagogical reasons of using “TheJakartaPost” as a driving force of literacy and suggested teaching procedures. It is expected that English teachers use “TheJakartaPost” as one of the alternatives to help students literate for enhancing their English skills. Keywords:  TheJakartaPost: Literacy; English Skills

Abstract

Code-switching is a language alternation used by students speaking English as second or foreign language in communication. It is effectively used to create a communicative interaction in natural settings of foreign language, that is, classroom settings in Indonesia. However, Indonesian teachers teaching English consider switching codes as language competence failure. This study proved that using Indonesian while expressing ideas in English was effectively used to meet sociolinguistic functions- equivalence, floor-holding, reiteration, and conflict control. In addition, it was a communicative strategy used by EFL learners to overcome communication difficulties to achieve an intended communication. Therefore, this paper places a great importance of utilizing code-switching for classroom interaction for beginners as proved by this study. By the findings of this study, it is expected that code-switching is not considered as a communicative competence failure in learning English as a foreign language, but as communication strategy a continuity of the speech.
