Abstract

Playing Say All Fast Minute Every Day Shuffled (SAFMEDS), a set of cards containing details in both sides of the cards, has successfully helped many training of fluency and vocabulary development abroad (Quigley (2004); Kubina, Yurich, Durica, & Healy (2015); Beverly, Huge, & Hastings (2016)). However, none of them conducted their researches in the context of vocative education, and focused on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) or English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Thus, by intentionally opening the chance of adapting and transforming SAFMEDS to be applied in vocational high school classroom, the researcher conducted this study to find out whether or not there was any significant difference between the use of SAFMEDS and wordlist in vocabulary learning of two hotel department classrooms, and what are the aspects of vocabulary that might be highly influenced by SAFMEDS itself. This study was conducted purposively in the second grade of hotel department of SMK Negeri 3 Luwuk in the first term of 2017/2018 academic year. An English vocabulary test was administered to collect quantitative data by focusing on playing SAFMEDS containing hotel department terminologies as the core material. Through quasi-experimental research design, the analysis of quantitative data showed that there was a significant difference between the mean score of the students who were learning vocabulary by using SAFMEDS and the mean score of the students who were learning vocabulary by using wordlist. As for the second research question, the researcher found that the aspect of vocabulary which was dominantly affected by the use of SAFMEDS was the aspect of vocabulary in term of form.

Abstract

Task-Based Learning (TBL) is one of the contemporary approaches, which has attracted a great deal of study in recent decades. It is a language education approach that offers students the opportunity to use authentic target language use by tasks. Task-Based Learning drives skill-based teaching and learning, engages students in the learning process, motivates and enhances student imagination. This paper focuses on some fundamental aspects of TBL in literature: (1) the task-based learning definition, (2) the task-based learning characteristics, (3) the task-based learning framework, (4) the task-based learning benefits, and (5) a proposed task-based learning practice for EFL learners. The paper gives useful suggestions to EFL teachers who have similar teaching strategies to help students meet such learning goals in their classrooms and continue positive TBL patterns in teaching and learning.

Abstract

The present study aims to find out the students’ ability to write recount text and find out the students’ grammar mastery in writing recount text, and how the grammar errors that the students make relate to their recount text production. This research used mixed methods. A writing test was implemented as the instrument in this research. The population of this research was the tenth-grade students of one of the public senior high schools in Gowa regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Thirty students were chosen randomly using a convenience sampling approach. The researchers found that the students could construct recount text well in analyzing the data. This research also showed that all the samples achieved the minimum completeness criteria that the school determines. The sample applied grammar in recount text, including simple past tense, past continuous tense, past perfect tense, past future tense, verb conjugation, and auxiliary verb. The students' recount text had grammatical problems. Intralingual errors caused most of the errors that showed in students' recount text. It occurs because students may lack experience and knowledge of English grammar, which differs from the grammar of their native tongue. As a result, students should enhance their writing skills and practice more, especially while producing recount texts

Abstract

The intuition that happens within the classroom exercises when instructors and understudies exchange their thoughts through communication illustrates its viability. Understudies can grow their verbal capabilities when they uncover more remote dialect input by hearing the teachers use the target language in classroom interaction and practicing it when they have openings to communicate utilizing English as the target dialect. The perception appeared that instructors used target dialect more for administration conversation than for directions conversation. This research applied descriptive qualitative research. Qualitative research design aims to describe the data in more detail in a broader sentence clarification. The members of this investigation were two English teachers from one Public Islamic Senior High School in Parepare City, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study found that all language functions occurred in teachers 1 and 2 teaching activities in the instructional talk. Teacher 1 used more management talk in the classroom about welcoming, checking nearness, giving instruction, empowering understudies, giving commendations, inquiring about an address, and closing action. In the classroom, it was found that all the teachers spoke all language functions in the class. By analyzing the extracts by teacher 1, there are five unspoken language functions. Teacher 2 extract showed that there are seven unspoken language functions. The teachers believed that using the students' native language was critical to their comprehension. They moreover accept that the utilization of target dialect was imperative in expanding students' comprehension.
