Abstract

The tenth graders of State Senior High School 2 Semarang had problems to write their experiences. Unfortunately the existing materials were not appropriate to facilitate the learners to write recount texts. Hence, this study would like to develop environment – based materials to teach writing recount texts. It was inspired by the previous studies held by Gürsoy (2010) and Hauschild (2012). The materials were expected to improve learners’ writing competence of recount texts by applying topics which learners found in their daily lives, that is, environmental education. This study employed Research and Development design adapted from Borg and Gall (2003). The study found that applying the environment – based materials to teach writing recount texts gained positive effects. Moreover, the test of effectiveness reported significant improvement. The average score of pre-test was 48.94 and of post-test was 81.61. Therefore, English teachers are suggested to employ the materials. It is also necessary to conduct further studies to gain more positive effects toward teaching and learning process and to improve the learners’ writing competence. Keywords: Teaching writing; recount text; environment – based materials; contextual teaching and learningCopyright © 2015 by Al-Ta'lim All right reserved

Abstract

The pandemic Covid-19 outbreak caused reading literacy to get less attention than the normal school condition in SMA Negeri 2 Semarang. Therefore, there should be ways to run remote reading literacy strategies. This study aimed to investigate students' perception toward a remote reading literacy strategy, particularly the reading texts, learning process, advantages and disadvantages of the remote reading literacy strategy. The population of this study was 36 students of the 12th graders in SMA Negeri 2 Semarang. The study design was qualitative descriptive. The data was collected through questionnaires and interview. Then, the data was analyzed using interpretive descriptive analysis. The specific target to be achieved in this study is that by knowing the students' perception of remote reading literacy, the result may be used to reference the English teachers to have the reading literacy in English lesson. The study results were the students' perception that they needed to read an average of five times before reading aloud the texts with the tangible pronunciation and comprehend the meaning of the new vocabularies. Moreover, they informed that the learning process was unique, promoted autonomous learning. However, the video compressing and the internet connection were challenging for the students.
