Abstract

Critical reading is a reading technique that encourages the students to have deeper comprehension on the materials they are reading. Analyzing and evaluating the reading materials by proposing several critical questions to the writer, known as ‘reading between the lines”, can direct the reading to ‘advance’ level. Consequently, the students do not just take for granted what they are reading. However, to become a critical reader is not easy since there are some potential obstacles that the reader might encounter. Consequently, they have to be able to deal with the obstacles and therefore become critical and active readers.Key words: critical reading, critical readers, critical thinking, and active readers

Abstract

The use of criteria of an English textbook is crucial to improve the quality of teaching. However, choosing the criteria is a challenging task for teachers and material developers. This recent study aims at developing criteria of an English textbook evaluation for Indonesian Senior High School. This research used Research and Development. Three phases were employed: exploration stage, development stage, and validation stage.  At the exploration stage, 17 respondents of English teachers were asked about the need of developing the criteria of the English textbook. All respondents agreed that the textbook evaluation criteria were needed since there is no particular standardized textbook evaluation available. Therefore, they need to use the criteria as the basis to determine the quality of a particular textbook. At the development stage, 10 criteria to evaluate textbooks were constructed. Those cover (1) aims and approaches; (2) design and organization; (3); content; (4) skills; (5) vocabulary; (6) exercises and activities; (7) methodology; (8) attractiveness of the textbook and physical make-up; (9) teacher’s manual; and (10) practical consideration. At the validation stage, the textbook evaluation criteria were deemed valid by experts. Considering these facts, 10 designed criteria could be used as the principle to determine an evaluation of English textbooks, primarily in the teaching English at Indonesian Senior High school.

Abstract

The problem of this research was that there was no clear information about students’ strategies in improving their reading comprehension. Therefore, a descriptive quantitative method was used to find out the students’ strategies in improving their reading comprehension. A questionnaire consisting of 10 questions was distributed English Education Department students of IAIN Batusangkar to collect research data. The questionnaire was distributed to them, and there were 37 students who gave their responses. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistical analysis. Based on the research results, it was found that there were three steps of reading strategies applied by students in improving their reading comprehension. In pre-reading stage, students applied six reading strategies: previewing, creating question, making prediction, writing the main points of what reader already know about the text, reading introductions and summaries, and creating a pre-reading outline strategy. The mostly applied strategy was previewing strategy, and the least one was reading introductions and summaries strategy. In whilst reading stage, they applied reading the selection text, visualizing, paraphrasing, elaborating, changing reading rate, inferring, note-taking, and rereading strategy. The mostly applied strategy was paraphrasing strategy, and the least one was rereading strategy. In the post-reading stage, students applied two reading strategies: summarizing and reviewing. Between both strategies, summarizing was dominantly applied.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a model of local wisdom-based instructional materials in Minangkabau context for the English for Tourism course. To realize the aim, an R&D design was applied by adapting Borg & Gall’s first four stages, namely product analysis, initial product development, expert validation, and product revision. Product analysis includes analyzing the characteristics and needs of students towards the teaching materials; b) interviews with competent resource persons to obtain input for initial product development; c) a review of the relevant theory of initial product development. Initial Product Development includes formulating core topics, designing syllabus, gathering resources for designing draft, and designing, editing and printing prototypes. Validation was conducted to figure out whether the prototype model had integrated Minangkabau local wisdom in teaching materials for the course and was suitable for learning into speaking. The product analysis stage resulted in initial product development in the form of a prototype consisting of 14 units, where each unit consists of 4 parts, namely: introduction, common expressions, sample conversations, and role play. The validation results confirm that, in general, in terms of the relevance of teaching materials to course objectives, the prototype was valid (3.15 out of 4) and very valid (4.03 out of 5). In addition, in terms of the principles of learning speaking skills, the prototype was very valid (3.66 out of 4). Furthermore, from the aspect of integrating Minangkabau local wisdom into teaching materials, this prototype has provided a model for practical conversations for tour guiding activities in Minangkabau context.
