Abstract

An Autistic child is a child who has special needs and developmental disorders. Therefore, in the teaching learning process, teachers who teach ASD learners need to have some knowledge of students’ needs. The objections of this study are to explain the implementation of English language teaching for ASD learners during the pandemic era and parents’ role in helping ASD learners understand English. This research employed qualitative research. The researchers applied observation, depth interview and documentation in data collection. The results showed that 1) the English language teaching process for ASD at RBA during the pandemic era applied offline and online learning mode. The material of English language teaching for ASD learners was based on the level of ASD diagnosis. The teachers used direct method, TPR, and Lexical method in offline learning, but for online learning, they used Direct and lexical methods. The teachers also utilised pictures or flashcards in offline learning whereas for online learning they gave the students worksheets and did a video call. In giving assessment, the teachers carried out anecdotal notes, checklists, interviews, and retelling stories 2) During the pandemic era, the role of ASD parents was to accompany their child at home pronouncing English vocabularies that had been given by the therapist at RBA. On the other hand, in on-line learning, the role of parents was as a teacher/therapist who gave treatment to their children at home based on therapists’ instructions.

Abstract

Improving English proficiency among junior high school students in Indonesia remains a pressing concern, especially when conventional methods seems fail to accommodate diverse learning needs. This study investigates the effectiveness of an eclectic teaching approach that combines cognitive, behavioristic, humanistic, and social strategies to enhance students’ English skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The research responds to the lack of instructional methods that engage learners holistically and adaptively. A quasi-experimental design was employed involving 75 students at SMP N 2 Jati Kudus. Students were divided into an experimental group and a control group based on their pre-test scores. The experimental group, consisting of 28 students with scores below 60, received an eclectic intervention over eight weeks, while the control group of 47 students continued with conventional instruction. Data collection included pre-tests and post-tests, as well as questionnaires, interviews, and observations. Quantitative results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group, with the average post-test score rising to 74.48 from a pre-test mean of 61.06. The t-test yielded a value of 7.309 with p = 0.001, indicating a statistically significant difference. The experimental group showed a 38.31 percent increase in performance, with no decline among participants, compared to a 10.94 percent increase in the control group. The findings offer compelling evidence for integrating eclectic strategies in English language instruction and contribute to a growing body of research advocating for differentiated, holistic approaches in education.
