Abstract

Vocabulary holds a significant role in language proficiency. When one’s vocabulary is limited, producing English both in written and oral form will hardly meet fluency. Morphological awareness reflects on greater improvement of both receptive and productive skills as it promotes vocabulary enrichment. Morphological awareness helps learners make sense of novel words as soon as they find the words. Besides, morphological exposure is recommended to begin since the very young age. However, expecting all young learners to equally receive proper education is too much. As a result, many adult learners remain puzzled of how to effectively improve their vocabulary that helps them perform English fluently. Therefore, this study aims to provide a set of lesson plan containing the appropriate teaching techniques that sufficiently facilitate adult learners to raise morphological awareness using derivations. Besides, it is to confirm that making adult learners to be proficient in language learning is possible. This study is a qualitative research employing participant observation in the form of video recording as the data elicitation technique. It is evident from the findings that there are nine techniques that adequately facilitate morphological awareness for adult language learners.

Abstract

While disability is treated socially equal in most western countries, the prejudice that Asians adhere to traditional cultural view related to curse, bad luck, and humiliation is really strong. In fact, attitudes toward the handicapped strongly refer to social as well as cultural construction built in society. Hence, this research was conducted to discover how Mataram natives truly treat child with special education needs in the social interactions within school setting using qualitative approach and engaging observation as well as video recordings as data collection methods. The findings confirm that destructive treatment does not occur among Mataram disabled and non-disabled peers despite the existing prejudice. Moreover, constructive treatment from the community builds the child’s self-esteem in public setting stronger.
