Abstract

The present research evaluated EFL perspectives about contextual clues in reading comprehension at different proficiency levels. The data analysis using qualitative descriptions with frequencies and percentages was employed for 38 intermediate-level students and 25 advanced-level students in the university level through teaching contextual clues in reading comprehension with an experimental design. The results proved that students' proficiency in reading ability could be demonstrated by their use of idiomatic expressions, indirect language, direct language, series of words, comparison, synonym, tone, situation, mood, reference, restatement, preposition, cause-effect, modification, and example. Advanced students with a high level of vocabulary, grammar, and decoding skills were better able to utilize many contextual clues than intermediate students. Thus, reading ability was strongly correlated with the ability to infer word meaning from contextual clues.

Abstract:Matching phonemes (speech sounds) to graphemes (letters and letter combinations) was an important aspect of decoding (translating print to speech) and encoding (translating speech to print). However, most early childhood students did not receive explicit training in correspondence phonemography. Difficulties with accurate phoneme production and lack of understanding of sound symbol correspondences could make it difficult for students to: (1) identify pronunciation errors in general assessments and (2) provide a model of teaching English reading or provide remedial reading instructions. This community service examined the application of the distributed practice method in developing knowledge and phoneme-grapheme correspondence skills for early students. The sample of this study was 35 students aged 7-13 years in the village of semangat barusjahe tanah karo, North Sumatra. The test design consisting of pre-test and post-test was used to compare mass practice conditions (one 60 minute session) with conditionally distributed practice (four 15 minute sessions distributed over 4 weeks) to learn phonemes related to letters and letter combinations. The result of this community service was that students could improve their vocabulary and phonics skills orally and in writing by using English learning.Keyword : distributed practice; phonics and vocabulary; early childhood studentsAbstrak:Pencocokan fonem (bunyi ucapan) dengan grafem (huruf dan kombinasi huruf) adalah aspek penting dari decoding (menerjemahkan cetak ke ucapan) dan encoding (menerjemahkan ucapan untuk dicetak). Namun, siswa usia dini kebanyakan tidak menerima pelatihan eksplisit dalam fonemografi korespondensi. Kesulitan dengan produksi fonem yang akurat dan kurangnya pemahaman korespondensi simbol bunyi dapat menyulitkan siswa untuk: (1) mengidentifikasi kesalahan pengucapan pada penilaian umum dan (2) memberikan model pengajaran membaca bahasa Inggris. atau memberikan instruksi membaca remedial. Pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini meneliti penerapan metode distributed practice dalam pengembangan pengetahuan dan keterampilan korespondensi fonem-grafeme siswa usia dini.
