This study employed a qualitative research design. The data are the cultural elements and cultural types in English textbooks of 2013 curriculum grade X, XI and XII. The results show that English textbooks grade X, XI and XII contained 490 cultural elements consisting of 232 products, 75 practices, 11 perspectives and 172 persons. While cultural types contained 490 consisting of 127 source culture, 170 target culture, 64 international target culture and 130 culture free.

Whereas, advanced cultural awareness and intercultural awareness level do not support students to have intercultural awareness.

Abstract

This  study  investigated  students’  nature  in  pair  interaction  due  to  its  vital  role  in  learning. Therefore this study was aimed to describe and to explain patterns of interaction in peer feedback, the aspects of writing the students were concerned within peer feedback, influences of pair interactions to the students’ writings, and the students’ perceptions and attitudes on peer feedback. This study mostly employed qualitative approach and a case study method. The result showed that five patterns emerged in pair interaction i.e. collaborative pairs, dominant/dominant pair, dominant/passive  pairs,  expert/novice  pairs,  and  passive/passive  pair.  However,  feedback provided by collaborative and expert learners contributed to the revision changes of their partner’s writings so that the development of writing aspects under these two patterns was better. Besides, other  factors which  contributed to the  students’  writings  were  confounding  variables such as student’s proficiency, writing capability, and teacher feedback. Thus these results endorsed the former studies e.g. Storch’s (2002b) study, Iris’ (2014) study, and Roberson’s (2014) study. Another result  was  that  whole  students  had  good  perceptions  and  good  attitudes  on  peer  feedback provision. However, the bottom line of this study was that collaborative pairs and expert/novice pairs had better second writings.

Abstract

This research was conducted to observe fourty eight seven graders of SMP N 17 Pekalongan’s pronunciation ability in pronouncing the simple phrases. The participants were divided equally into two groups for the experimental research. The first group used songs in teaching and learning the pronounciation and another group used dialogues. The data of this study were taken from the recorded voice that we transcribed and the teacher’s notes. Based on the transcription we gave the score based on the score rubrics we made before. The analysis was observed quantitively from the recordings, transcription, scores based on the score rubrics from the pre-test and the post-test, and the teacher’s notes which were taken during and after the lesson. We analyze and describe the result based on the data and used SPSS and t-table to analyze the post-test. The result showed that in general, the group used songs produced better result than the group used dialogues. The participants that used songs tended to attend the pronunciation class more willingly and showed more enthusiasm in conducting the activities. Meanwhile the participants that used dialogues were distracted after hearing the songs sung in the group that used songs. It is suggested that teachers must know how to control the situation and to keep the students from disturbing other classes because sometimes singing songs make the students over enthusiastic.
