Abstract

2013 curriculum of Indonesia has amended English as an extra-curricular or a local content subject at primary schools. There are no standards to achieve and the teachers have to find the appropriate strategies to its delivery. It triggers the teachers’ lack of confidence in terms of content and methods. On the other hand, cognitive domain with the test as achievement standard regardless providing the experience of using the language for communication has been practiced. Integrating the thematic units of primary schools’ thematic lesson seems possible to carry out because the teacher can use its themes or sub-themes as a topic for Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL). This exploratory case study employs in-depth interviews with three teachers from well-established schools using a semi-structured interview, observations for field notes, and focus group discussion. The findings reveal that all teachers developed the materials for their teaching based on the regular class thematic lessons and a book provided by the local government. As for teaching practice, they have implemented the CLIL principles although they did not realize it. Ultimately, CLIL adaptation is appropriate for TEYL as that representative area in as much as teacher’s English language proficiency and pedagogical competency are upgraded. Highlights: Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL) should provide the young learners opportunities to use the English language contextually. Soft CLIL does not require a high level of achievement in language but it provides the students simple language instruction with simplified materials.

Abstract

It is currently accepted that language and culture are inseparable since culture becomes an essential aspect of learning a foreign language. In the Indonesian context, this broad understanding of the crucial role of culture in English teaching has raised challenges in different contexts for EFL teachers. The recent study focuses on Indonesian Junior High School teachers’ views on integrating culture in ELT and practices of textbook adaptation to help students build intercultural competence. Therefore, to meet these aims, a questionnaire and an open-ended question were employed to collect the data from fifteen participants teaching English at public and private schools in Indonesia. The study results reveal that Indonesian EFL teachers have positive attitudes on integrating intercultural competence in ELT. Still, some of the difficulties confronted by their implementation of textbook adaptation have been highlighted in promoting intercultural competence. This study suggests that EFL teachers in Indonesia should be provided with teacher training relating to textbooks adaptation and teaching culture. The implementation of ICT in ELT classrooms is also recommended. Finally, the redesign of the curriculum with more integrated intercultural competency materials should be taken into account. HIGHLIGHTS: The EFL teachers’ practices deal with textbook adaptation are not well implemented, although they believe that cultural competence in their teaching activities is crucial. The English curriculum should give more room for teachers in serving the students based on their needs, preferences, and skills, especially for enhancing students’ mastery on the target language.

Abstract

Nowadays, Higher Order Thinking Skills have been a current trend and focus among teachers and researchers. However, there are still a few researchers who investigate HOTS and connect it with language assessment. This case study aimed to examine Indonesian English teachers' attitudes concerning the use of the HOTS-based assessment. This research has been qualitatively conducted with the aim to analyze the attitudes towards the utilization of the paradigm of HOTS in the creation of good language assessment. The data of this study were collected by using an interview and questionnaire. There are 20 teachers taking part in the study were purposely selected based on their experience and comprehension of the study's issue. The data of this study were analyzed by using descriptive qualitative. This study revealed that despite several situational constraints, all respondents shared their positive attitude to the principles of HOTS owing to several aspects. Despite the teachers' positive attitude towards the implementation of HOTS-based assessment, there was still a lack of knowledge about HOTS. This study suggested that more researchers portrayed teachers' competence in developing based assessment in English subject since HOTS is essential in the implementation of the 2013 curriculum. HIGHLIGHTS: The study addresses the current trend and focus on Higher Order Thinking Skills among teachers and researchers. Teacher as a “driver” in the classroom plays a crucial role in implanting HOTS for their students. Therefore, relevant training should be conducted progressively for English teachers, both pre-service and in-service teachers, to improve their knowledge to implement HOTS. Formative assessment can be employed as a “weapon” to promote the learners’ HOTS in this 2013 curriculum.

Abstract

Innovation related to Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL) provide opportunities for learners to gain experience using English contextually. This is the implication of the new paradigm of English as an International Language (EIL) in which learning English is no longer aimed at forming learners to speak as the native speakers. Therefore, innovations in TEYL is needed to answer the challenges of changing the status of English in Primary Schools (SD) from subject to extra-curricular. Referring to lesson plans developed by pre-service EYL teachers (PSTs), observation and interviews, the innovations in thematic lessons for TEYL were investigated. The findings showed that all lesson plans have been integrating innovations, including character building in accordance with the 2013 curriculum and intercultural competency that are important for language learning. To interact in the classroom, first language (L1) was used with colloquial variation, code-mixing and code-switching as well as translation. In conclusion, the innovative lessons for TEYL has been practiced by prospective primary school English teachers for preparing themselves to teach at the real school setting after their graduation. It is suggested that further research will be carried out at primary schools participated by in-service teachers and focused on each innovation in order to find TEYL innovative models. HIGHLIGHTS: The study recognizes a shift in the paradigm of Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL) due to the emergence of the new paradigm of English as an International Language (EIL). English for Young Learners (EYL) requires the teachers’ creativity in teaching it. Innovative EYL classes could be characterized by the selection of intelligent themes or topics, ways for delivering new knowledge while giving young learners with context-based English experience, and less demanding evaluation.

Abstract

Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) are already a trend in educational sector. The concepts of HOTS are applied in statements of ‘basic competences’ (as known as KD) in the 2013 English Curriculum (syllabus). The purpose of stating HOTS concepts in ‘KD’ to make all of the process of teaching and learning resulted on the students’ ability to be able to think and practice higher order thinking skills in their daily life. As represented in the ‘basic competences’ (KD) of 2013 English curriculum (syllabus revised edition), HOTS can be considered as the significant point in developing indicator (as the objective) of teaching and learning. The development of indicators should be in line with the theory of HOTS, from analyzing, evaluating and creating (based on the revised Bloom taxonomy). However, there are a lot of English teachers who still get difficulties in developing appropriate teaching learning indicators in fulfilling HOTS concepts. In national practice, the policy of implementing HOTS as the basic competences may not be carried out fully by the Indonesian English teachers. There is also a tendency to ignore the discussion of developing appropriate indicator achievement as the learning objectives. HIGHLIGHTS: Curriculum developers should comprehend the concepts of the curriculum and the language theories applied to the curriculum. Basic competence should be developed following the level of Bloom's cognitive skills, particularly to generate students' higher-order thinking. Implementation of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) as a policy in the 2013 English Curriculum Basic Competencies (KD) and English teachers' practices in developing competency achievement indicators
