Abstract

This study investigated English as a Foreign Language teachers’ beliefs toward grammar teaching in the classroom. This research paper aimed to explore EFL teachers’ belief about grammar teaching and the factors influencing teachers in shaping their beliefs on grammar teaching. A qualitative study using a semi-structured interview with eight English as foreign language teachers of secondary schools in East Jakarta has been conducted. The result revealed that most teachers believed that grammar was essential. Explicit grammar teaching was also believed to be more effective to be implemented in teaching grammar, yet teachers still used both explicit and implicit instructions. Nonetheless, some teachers believed that implicit instruction that was suggested in the 2013 Curriculum was less effective due to the limited time of English learning in classroom practice. The factors shaping the teachers’ beliefs involved the student factor and the teacher factors which included teachers’ prior education and personal experiences. This research was expected to improve the teaching of grammar practices and suggest an effective approach to be implemented in teaching grammar in EFL context for teachers in classroom.

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of instructional methods and students’ cognitive styles toward speaking skill. It was an experimental research using a two-factor ANOVA at 0.05 and 0.01 significance level. Because an interaction between the variables involved was found, the analysis was then continued by Tuckey Test. The data was collected using oral test rating scale and a cognitive style questionnaire. The findings showed the following points: (1) the speaking skill of the students taught by CLL (Cooperative Language Learning) was higher than the students taught by TBL (Task-Based Language Learning); (2) the speaking skill of FD (Field Dependent) students was higher than FI (Field Independent) students; (3) there was an interaction between instructional methods and cognitive style to speaking skill; (4) the speaking skill of the students taught by CLL was higher than the students taught by TBL in the group of FD students; (5) there was no significant difference of the speaking skill of the students taught by CLL and the students taught by TBL in the group of FI students. The findings above led to a conclusion that generally CLL was more effective than TBL in teaching speaking skill. Moreover, besides instructional methods, cognitive style also gives a significant effect to students’ speaking skill.

Abstract

Pelatihan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatan wawasan dan keterampilan bahasa Inggris guru-guru SMK Jakarta Pusat 1 khususnya dalam penggunaan bahasa kelas atau Classroom Language. Target luaran yang ingin dicapai dari pelatihan ini adalah supaya kemampuan guru dalam menggunakan classroom language bisa meningkat baik secara kuantitas maupun kualitas dalam rangka menghadapi rencana jangka panjang sekolah untuk mendirikan kelas dwi bahasa dapat terlaksana sesegera mungkin. Pelatihan ini dilakukan di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan Jakarta Pusat 1 yang berlokasi di Jl. Abdul Muis Jakarta Pusat dan dilakukan selama 4 hari dimulai dari tanggal 26 Desember hingga 29 Desember 2016. Materi pelatihan berisikan konsep Classroom Language, jenis-jenis Classroom Language dan bagaimana mengucapkan Classroom Language tersebut dengan benar. Semua materi pelatihan disampaikan secara interaktif dimana peserta pelatihan terlibat aktif dalam setiap kegiatan hingga praktek role play penggunaan Classroom Language di depan peserta lain dalam kelompok. Hasil dari kegiatan pelatihan melalui post test yang diberikan baik secara tulisan maupun praktek menunjukkan ada peningkatan yang signifikan di beberapa kompenen Classroom Language yaitu di kegiatan opening(Greeting) dan Penutup. Pada kegiatan inti, peningkatan yang terjadi tidak begitu signifikan terjadi karena peserta pelatihan fokus pada penyampaian materi dalam bahasa Indonesia sehingga seringkali lupa mengucapkan Classroom Language seperti memberikan perintah (command), permintaan (request) atau menegur siswa ketika situasi itu memungkinkan.

Abstract

Indonesian students often struggle with English-speaking proficiency due to limited practice opportunities and lack of confidence. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a mandatory English Day program at SMA 90, where students were required to use English exclusively with consequences for non-compliance. A rigorous experimental design, incorporating both pretest and post-test measurements, was used to investigate the English Day program's impact. Seventy students were randomly divided into an experimental group participating in the program and a control group. Utilizing a structured oral test to assess pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and fluency, significant enhancements were found in all areas for the experimental group after the program (p < 0.001), with an average improvement of 5.11 points compared to the control group. This study concludes that the mandatory English Day program is effective in enhancing English-speaking proficiency in non-native English-speaking environments.

Abstract

The rise of game-based learning in English language teaching signifies a shift towards more engaging and interactive methods. Genshin Impact is a game that can be used as an alternative media to improve students' English skills, specifically reading, through its interactive gameplay. The game's requirement to understand characters' dialogues is valuable for developing reading skills. This research investigates whether games, particularly Genshin Impact, can enhance students' reading skills by assessing how much this game positively impacts students' reading abilities. The qualitative method is used with interviews as the instrument in data collection to ensure a more in-depth understanding of the obtained data. The research was conducted on ten UHAMKA students from various departments and semesters. Of the ten students who participated in the study, most saw Genshin Impact as a language learning tool that enhanced their English language skills with a focus on reading. However, not all respondents reported reading improvements. However, as participants played more Genshin Impact, there was a positive correlation between increased playtime and the levels of improvement in English language skills of the participants. Participants learned further aspects of English, vocabulary development, contextual understanding, and reading proficiency by playing Genshin Impact.
