Abstract

This cross-sectional survey study investigates the preferences of freshmen and sophomores for corrective feedback in speaking instruction, which includes perception of corrective feedback, types of error to be corrected, timing of correction, sources of correction, and types of corrective feedback. Using questionnaire and interview to collect the data, the study found that the two groups welcomed the feedback, acknowledged the benefits of corrective feedback, but felt embarrassed when being orally corrected. Both the freshmen and sophomores wanted all their errors to be corrected. Whereas the freshmen preferred the grammatical errors to be always corrected, the sophomores preferred the phonological errors. With regard to the timing, the two groups expected their errors to be corrected after they finished speaking. Additionally, the two groups favored teacher feedback. Finally, regardless of the different types of errors, the most preferred feedback was explicit feedback, whereas the least preferred one was paralinguistic signal.

Abstract

Since English is used as a lingua franca, the growth of English users is getting bigger. The tremendous growth of English users has generated variety of English, i.e. Englishes. Such variety could affect EFL pedagogy. This paper, then, explores EFL teachers’ perception on Englishes. By employing a survey study, it is found that EFL teachers agree that it is useful for both English teachers and students to know the variety of English. However, in the teaching practice, they prefer to integrate it to other language skills and language components rather than teaching it in isolation. Besides, adopting exonormative norm, i.e. American English or British English is still used in the common teaching practice. (113)   Sejak Bahasa Inggris digunakan sebagai lingua franca, pengguna bahasa Inggris semakin berkembang pesat. Perkembangan pengguna bahasa inggris  tersebut telah menyebabkan variasi dalam bahasa Inggris, yaitu Englishes. Artikel ini menjelaskan tentang persepsi guru bahasa Inggris terhadap variasi tersebut. Dengan menggunakan metode survei, disimpulkan bahwa guru-guru EFL setuju bahwa pengetahuan akan Englishes sangatlah penting dimiliki baik oleh guru maupun siswa. Namun, mereka lebih menyukai jika pengajaran Englishes diintegrasikan dengan keterampilan bahasa dan komponen bahasa daripada harus mengajarkannya secara terpisah. Selain itu, menggunakan aturan exonormative, yaitu American English and British English masih tetap digunakan dalam praktik mengajar. (92)

Abstract

Students’ participation is often regarded as one of the indicators of successful teaching and learning process. Unfortunately, having the students to participate in classroom activities is a challenging task for many foreign language teachers. In relation to the issue, this survey study endeavors to shed a light on the potential factors affecting students’ participation in English speaking classroom. Besides, it takes into account gender differences. There were 32 students, consisting of 16 male and 16 female, participating in this study by filling out 39 items questionnaire. After analyzing the data, it was found that the students were reluctant to participate in English speaking classroom because of lack of preparation, unsure with the correctness of their utterance, insufficient time to process the questions, big class size, underestimating their ability and depending on their classmates. Finally, there was statistically significant difference between male and female students in the way they perceive the factors related to speaking in front of the class and making mistake.
