Abstract

This paper proposes a lexically-based approach for the teaching of English in Indonesia. To develop the approach, neurolinguistic and psycholinguistic research findings for L2 learning are reviewed because this approach has to consider how human mind stores, processes, recognizes and retrieves words. Neurobiologically, the learning of L1 is different from L2. Thus, the lexically-based approach gives more emphasis on chunking, the learning of formulaic phrases, and conscious awareness of learning.

Abstract

Abstract This paper is a report of how to make reluctant teachers col­lege students read in a prose course. These students were not interested in fiction and had never read interpretative fiction in English. The teacher sought to know why the students were reluctant to read, and how to make them read, and discovered that it was because of students linguistic de­ficiency and their reluctance to read longer texts. The teacher also dis­covered that in spite of their reluctance they were interested in listening to the teachers explanation about the cultural elements and the analysis of the short stories. Thus, provided with a guideline developed based on cultural and gender elements, students were motivated to autonomously read an assigned Pulitzer-winning novel.

Abstract

Abstract: This paper reports the results of a study that investigated the effectiveness of guessing as a word-solving strategy. Conducted to 32 non-native English language teacher trainees, this study dis­covered that with a vocabulary size of 3526 word families, students were able to recognize high frequency words, but unable to correctly guess the meanings of low frequency ones. In addition, they used inunediate instead of global contexts in their guesses. Consequently, holistic comprehension could not be made. Students were also too confident with their guesses. When they thought that they knew the meaning of a word, they might not know it correctly. This study sug­gests that using dictionaries and contrived learning of vocabulary are crucial for the bredth and the depth of vocabulary. Students also need some training for improving their word guessing strategy.
