Abstract

In the English Education department of the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Kediri, there is a course so-called an Intensive English Course (IEC) program offered at the first semester. This course is designed as a preparatory program to prepare the students who come from various English proficiency backgrounds. This research is intended to evaluate the effectiveness of the IEC program. Employing a mixed-method approach, interviews, questionnaires, pre-test and post-test were administered to four Intensive English Course lecturers and 126 students. The findings of this study revealed that the program is effective as it is able to improve students’ performance, and the course material, teaching methods, and assessment conducted are appropriate. The interesting point to note is that, despite the fact that everything is well-prepared and the program has the potential to significantly improve the students' abilities, the improvement is still below par.

Abstract

This paper reports a study that analyzed the content of two English textbooks used in junior high school in Indonesia. The two textbooks are officially published by Indonesia's Ministry of Culture and Education. The first is "When English Rings a Bell," written by Siti Wachidah, Asep Gunawan, Diyantari, and Yuli Rulani Khatimah and published in 2017, and the second is "Modul Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh pada Masa Pandemi Covid-19 untuk jenjang SMP Mata Pelajaran Bahasa Inggris untuk semester genap kelas VIII” which is published in 2020. The findings revealed similarities and differences between the two textbooks. Two English textbooks differ greatly because they have different goals. The second book is not a revision of the first, but it appears to be the solution to the pandemic. The first textbook is designed to improve language skills through the use of communicative approach, both spoken and written, with English as the medium of communication. However, the second textbook is expected to be beneficial and meaningful for students to achieve the intended competence independently. Despite differences in goal or focus in developing the textbooks, they share similarities in terms of basic competence that students must achieve.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of social media for learning to speak, as well as the challenges and motivations for doing so. The subject of this study is the eleventh grade students of SMAN 3 Kediri, which is located on Mauni Street, No. 88 Bangsal, Pesantren, Kediri City. Data collection methods include questionnaires, observation, and interviews. Data analysis processes included data reduction, data organization, and data conclusion. The obtained data is displayed descriptively as a percentage and qualitatively interpreted. The data showed that all participants use social media as a source of knowledge and as an example of practicing speaking. 59% of the 80 participants agreed and 24% strongly agreed that social media can help them improve their speaking fluency. The students also claim that learning to speak through social media presents challenges. Understanding difficult material without the assistance of teachers is one of the most difficult aspects for students. The findings also show that the motivation for using social media to learn to speak comes from both internal and external sources. Furthermore, students can use social media to learn to speak in a variety of ways, and it also provides challenges and motivation for each student.
