Abstract

Interaction in English as an International Language (EIL) setting provides myriad opportunities for negotiation of meaning, arguably beneficial for language acquisition. The present study aims at finding out how meaning is negotiated in EIL interaction among two groups of postgraduate TESOL international students from two Asian countries, Indonesia and People’s Republic of China (PR China). The findings reveal that the students indeed utilized various strategies such as clarification requests, confirmation checks, comprehension checks, word-coinage, and use of approximation, self-repetition, other repetition, self-correction, and non-verbal expression of non-understanding. The relative frequency of strategies used appears to have been influenced by the interaction tasks. The variation of strategies across the three pairs is relatively similar. Some EIL features corresponding to pronunciation and grammatical structures also emerge in the present study. Finally, the study suggests that negotiation strategies need to be included in the English teaching syllabus. Moreover, current foreign or second language teaching methodology needs to pay serious attention to EIL features and to develop learners’ intelligibility and communication strategies by making them aware of standard varieties of English.

Abstract: Drawing upon Hunzicker’s (2008a, 2011) interpretive tool of learning leverage, the study aimed to find out the influence of teacher professional training, known as PLPG, on teacher learning. This study was conducted under the qualitative approach involving six high school English-language teachers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The study found that the majority of the participants agreed that the rigor, reward, and risk of PLPG had boosted their motivation to learn, and thus perceived PLPG as a powerful learning experience. In particular, two teachers considered rigor (high standards and expectations) of PLPG as the most influential factor. One teacher was very much concerned about the risk of not earning certification. Three teachers counted reward as most important in their PLPG experience. This study therefore suggests that teacher professional development through teacher certification could be a powerful learning experience for teachers when it incorporates an appropriate balance of rigor, reward, and risk. Keywords: learning leverage, teacher learning, teacher professional training, teacher education Abstrak: Mengacu pada Learning Leverage Interpretive Tool yang dikembangkan oleh (Hunzicker’s (2008a, 2011), penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh Pendidikan dan Latihan Profesi Guru (PLPG) terhadap pembelajaran guru. Penelitian kualitatif ini melibatkan enam orang guru Bahasa Inggris sekolah menengah. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui wawancara bebas terpimpin. Riset ini menemukan bahwa sebagian besar peserta setuju bahwa rigor, reward, dan risk PLPG memotivasi mereka untuk belajar dan mereka menganggap PLPG sebagai pengalaman belajar yang efektif. Khususnya, dua orang guru menganggap rigor sebagai faktor yang paling berpengaruh. Satu orang peserta sangat mengkhawatirkan resiko (risk) tidak lulus sertifikasi. Tiga orang peserta lainnya melihat reward sebagi faktor paling penting dalam pengalaman pembelajaran PLPG. Karena itu, riset ini merekomendasikan bahwa pengembangan profesi guru melalui program sertifikasi dapat menjadi wahana pembelajaran yang efektif bagi guru manakala program tersebut mengintegrasikan keseimbangan yang tepat antara rigor, reward, dan risk. Kata-kata kunci: learning leverage, pembelajaran guru, pengembangan profesi guru, pendidikan guru

Abstract

Abstract: This study aimed to find out what happen in a 10-day in-service teacher professional training in Indonesia, commonly known as PLPG. A qualitative study using observations and document analysis was used as the research procedure. It was found that PLPG offered teachers substantial learning experiences covering professional and pedagogical competencies, necessary for teachers to achieve a professional level of quality in their duties. In addition, the activities featured in PLPG were in line with constructivist theory in that they seek to foster teacher-to-teacher interaction through active, contextualized, and collaborative modes of learning. The study suggests the need of a system of peer support and feedback integrated into long-term trainings, and extensively well-designed content-related continuing teacher professional development to improve and sustain teachers’ teaching practices. Key words: teacher learning; teacher certification; teacher professional development, teacher education Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat secara seksama pelaksanaan Pendidikan dan Latihan Profesi Guru (PLPG) di Indonesia. Data penelitian kualitatif ini diperoleh melalui observasi dan analisis dokumen. Riset ini menemukan bahwa PLPG menawarkan pengalaman belajar yang subsbtansial kepada guru yang mencakup kompetensi profesional dan pedagogis, dimana kedua kompetensi ini sangat diperlukan guru sebagai syarat menjadi guru yang profesional. Selain itu, kegiatan yang dilaksanakan dalam PLPG sejalan dengan teori konstruktivis yang mendorong terjadinya interaksi diantara peserta pelatihan melalui metode pembelajaran yang aktif, kontekstual, dan kolaboratif. Riset ini memberikan beberapa rekomendasi, yaitu perlunya dukungan dan umpan balik teman sebaya yang terintegrasi dalam pelatihan jangka panjang, dan perlunya pengembangan profesi guru berkelanjutan yang dirancang secara ekstensif untuk meningkatkan dan mempertahankan praktik pengajaran guru yang berkualitas.Kata-kata kunci: pembelajaran gur, sertifikasi guru, pengembangan profesi guru, Pendidikan guru.

Abstract: This study explored teachers’ general perceptions about their learning experiences with instructional practices and classroom management gained from teacher professional training, known as PLPG. 149 English teacher participants attending the 2013 PLPG at a public university in Palembang completed a survey questionnaire. Descriptive statistical measures were used to analyze the survey items. Study findings showed that the majority of the teachers perceived PLPG as a vehicle for learning such pedagogical knowledge as instructional practices and classroom management informed by theory and research. Other empirical evidence showed that the teachers argued that (1) continuous professional development, (2) salary increase and incentive, (3) supportive teaching environment, and (4) adequate teaching and learning facilities would sustain quality teaching. This study provided an evaluative account of program effectiveness in providing teacher professional training. Further studies should be undertaken to probe into how teachers translate their learning experience in their routine teaching practices. Keywords: instructional practices; classroom management; teacher professional training; teacher professional development Abstrak: Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi persepsi umum guru tentang pengalaman belajar mereka terkait praktek pembelajaran dan manajemen kelas yang diperoleh dari pelatihan profesi guru yang lebih dikenal sebagai PLPG.
