Abstract

RAP (Read, Ask, and Put) is a strategy that instructs students to focus their reading on a particular section of the text, consider the main idea and supporting ideas of the paragraph or passage, and then explain it in their own words. This study aims to determine the achievement of fourth-year students at Gontor for girls 2nd campus in reading comprehension using the RAP strategy since the researchers found that their reading comprehension is still low. This research used a quantitative experimental method with an experimental non-equivalent control group design. The population in this study were all fourth-year students of Gontor for girls 2nd campus with 79 students and used probability sampling which is simple random sampling. The method used in data collection is the test method and is complemented by some documentation. For the data analysis, it used the formula SPSS 22. This study concluded that the use of the RAP strategy in teaching reading comprehension on reading subjects proved effective with the formula-test acquisition value of Sig.(2.tailed) 0.009 < 0.05. Based on the conclusion, the researcher provided suggestions, they are (1) the RAP Strategy is very likely to be used to teach the reading subject to students because the students try to think critically and will understand the text with comprehension; (2) it is hoped that teachers will develop and try to apply the RAP strategy in teaching reading. Thus, the students can independently find the main idea and use their prior knowledge of vocabulary

Abstract

Background: Figurative language deals with non-literal language to shift meaning by comparing other words to the original composition. This appears in many works of literature, including the holy Qur’an. Therefore, it is essential to study, not intending to reduce or increase the meaning of the Qur’an. Aims: This study aims to identify the types of figurative language in the surahs As-Saffat and Ar-Rahman and examine the most dominant figurative language in both surahs. Methods: This qualitative study analyzed the linguistic phenomena in the verses. The objects were As-Saffat, which consists of 182 verses, and surah Ar-Rahman, which consists of 78 verses. The data were presented descriptively. Results: The findings revealed that 81 verses in both Surah As-Saffat and Ar-Rahman contain figurative language. Surah As-Saffat contained 32 data points of figurative language, while Ar-Rahman had 49 data points. The most dominant type of figurative language in Surah As-Saffat is ellipsis, and in Surah Ar-Rahman, it is rhetoric. Implications: The analysis results reflect that academics can be a form of integration between religious and general science, such as literature. Therefore, a more in-depth al-Qur’an can be easily perceived. Although related to general science, it does not leave the rules in interpreting the Qur’an. This can enrich the reference for Teaching English as a Foreign Language.

Abstract

The use of podcasts as language teaching and learning has obtained more attention today. Podcasts have been used mostly to improve students' listening skill that is proven by numerous studies to determine how podcasts might assist students in improving their listening skills. Whereas, podcasting promotes activities for the students to practice their whole English skills. This is a literature research that provides a review of podcasting to assist EFL learners in mastering English. As many as 20 articles were used as the data sources in arranging this article. The researchers searched the articles using the keywords ‘podcast’ and ‘podcasting’. The difference between this article among previous studies is the focus on the use of podcasting for EFL learnings. The previous studies mostly discussed podcasts and podcasting for improving listening ability. The review found that podcasting is an interesting medium to be used in English learning. However, several challenges arise such as lack of technological competence, lack of vocabulary and grammar, unstable internet connection, and limited facilities. Consequently, it is advised that when using podcasts, teachers give their students appropriate direction on how to maximize their potential.

Abstract

Classroom management involves all endeavors aimed at establishing an efficient and pleasant teaching and learning environment that can inspire learners to learn effectively based on their abilities. It encompasses a range of intentional activities conducted by lecturers with the goal of establishing and sustaining optimal conditions for the teaching and learning process. This research investigates practical management strategies for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) speaking class. Semi-structured interviews and active classroom observation were employed to collect the data. Three EFL lecturers from the English Department of Universitas Darussalam Gontor who provided English speaking classes participated in this study. The objective was to look into the lecturers' viewpoints and management of speaking classes and to examine the strategies they employed and the challenges they experienced. The findings show that the lecturers had implemented a variety of strategies, including setting discipline, physical environment, encouraging more usage of English, offering engaging topics, speaking correction techniques, and building excitement for content. The results also revealed that the lecturers encountered difficulties to manage their teaching. Challenges such as improper pronunciation, learners' low self-esteem, and shortage of lexical resources were among the lecturers’ obstacles.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the types and factors of students’ errors in pronouncing interdental and alveolar fricative sounds. The methodology of this research used descriptive qualitative with percentages. Interview guidance included a pronunciation test, questionnaire, and documentation utilized in this research as instruments. 7 out of 37 respondents were selected by purposive random sampling for the interview. Data analysis used three stages such as error identification, classification error, and explanation error. Then, to validate data used data triangulation. The result of this study revealed that students had deviation in all types of errors. Namely, the misformation of 1525 scores, the addition of 113 scores, the omission of 80 scores, and the misordering of 26 scores. All respondents obtained a moderate classification of pronunciation errors and the sound /θ/ of 79%, the sound /ð/ of 81%, and the sound /z/ of 84% included a high error percentage classification. Lastly, Students’ pronunciation errors are influenced by 3 categories of error sources, namely interlingual transfer, intralingual transfer, and context of learning.

Abstract

Authentic evaluation is an assessment approach that emphasizes high-level thinking skills and students' ability to complete meaningful tasks that reflect real-world situations. In the context of reading learning in English, it is an important alternative to overcome the limitations of traditional evaluations that tend to only measure literal understanding. This study aims to describe the application of authentic evaluation in reading learning and identify the forms, strategies, and challenges of its implementation in a secondary school environment. This study applied a descriptive qualitative approach with English teachers and students as research subjects in a junior high school. Data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation of the assessment instruments used. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model including the stages of data reduction, data presentation (data display), and drawing conclusions/verification. The results of the study showed that teachers implemented authentic evaluation in various forms, such as text summaries, reading journals, written critical responses, and reading-based presentations. This was able to improve contextually students' reading comprehension in depth. However, several obstacles were found, such as time constraints and the need for objective assessment instruments. Strategies such as the use of rubrics and gradual training for students have proven effective in overcoming these obstacles. This study emphasizes the importance of authentic evaluation as a more meaningful assessment approach in learning reading.
