Abstract

Communicative competence approach in Indonesia has been applied in junior and senior high school. It emerged due to the fact that the audio-lingual approach has been regarded to be a failure. This can be seen from the graduates’ inability to use the language for communication in real situations. It is said that this approach is very successfully applied in Europe; but in Indonesia, it is still a big question, since the situation and condition are very much different from that of European countries. The obstacles existing in Indonesia are; big classes, linguistic environment, teachers’ inability to use English, time allotment, etc. One thing for sure is that however successful an approach in some developed countries is, it is quite possible this approach might be a failure when applied in Indonesia due to some different conditions and situations as stated above. Consequently, it is advisable for the English teachers to be selective in choosing which approach is suitable for teaching what so that we do not always get confused with the mode of language teaching which very often changes in foreign countries.

Abstract

The aspects of English tenses enable to show the time and its relation to the activities or events in spoken or written language (Stern, 2002:42). This study focused on assessing the ability of the first semester students in tenses mastery. The samples were 28 students from the first semester of Class B of English Language Education Study Program, FKIP Unmas Denpasar. The subjects of this study were determined by using cluster sampling method. The data were collected by administering multiple choice test instrument which were analysed using a norm-referenced measure of five standard values. It showed that (1) there is only 1 subject (3.57%) showed excellent ability in mastering grammar, (2) there are 9 subjects (32.14%) showed good ability, (3) there are 11 subjects (39.27%) showed sufficient ability, (4) there are 4 subjects (14.28%) showed insufficient ability, and (5) there are 3 subjects (10.74%) showed poor ability in mastering grammar. There are 7 students (25.02%) out of 28 students who failed in learning and acquiring English grammar. It means that 25.02% of them still have low ability. In this case the students should be given more chances and exercises to be active in the teaching and learning processes.
