Abstract

The National Exam of 2019 is still one of the absorbed issues to discuss. The researcher brings the issue up because in a couple of years there might be no more National Exam since the new minister is more likely to believe that Exams are conventional so the issue of abolishing it is heating up again. The National Exam has become a standard evaluation made by the government for every school level. The English exam is an English proficiency test for students. Yet, the test consists of listening and reading comprehension only. The objectives of the study are to find out whether the questions tested are appropriate with the qualifications, criteria, and the goals of each competence. Then, the researcher analyzed the error of each question. The researchers applied the general method in assessing the English test referring to the Hakuta and Jacks (2009) guidelines. The researcher applied descriptive qualitative as the research design. The test is focused more on cognitive skills, especially in reading skills. The students are taught all four language skills in schools and are expected to be superior to all of them at least. The researcher finds some errors in the test such as the test directions are unclear. Then, the questions are compiled disorderly and the amount of questions for each language competence is not equal. The test is not appropriate with the language learning objectives and so does with the language mastery demands.

Abstract

English is a subject in the national examination for senior high school students. As a foreign language, learning English gives some obstacles. This article is written to describe a project of community engagement namely a simulation of the English listening section as a part of the national examination. This project was conducted in Madrasah Aliyah Darud Da’wah Wal-Irsyad Baruga Majene by a collaborative team, which consists of the lecturers and the students of the English Language Education Department of Majene State Islamic College. The participants are third-grade students. The simulation was conducted as same as the real test using the Hot Potatoes. The result of the simulation showed that students’ achievement did reach the passing grade namely 55. There are ten basic competencies implied in fifteen number. But the students only can choose the correct answer from questions that reflected four bacis competencies with the highest average score namely 63. Unfortunately, the students cannot reach other competencies. It seems that the students need more practice and learning activities.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the ability to write an English analytical exposition text in class XI Religion 2 MAN 2 Polewali. Therefore, the main problem is how the students' ability to write analytical exposition texts in class XI Agama 2. This research is quantitative and descriptive. The population in this study were students of class XI Religion 2 MAN Polewali. This means that the population is 15 students, and this population is used as a sample of 15 students. In collecting the data, the researcher used a writing test. Students are asked to make an analytical exposition text. Analysis of student score data found that students' ability in writing analytical exposition texts was still lacking in class XI (15 students). In this case, in class XI, Religion 2, there were no students who got very good scores. Six students got the same student's work. The results of this study indicate that the ability to write analytical exposition texts is not capable with students' writing results below the average, and the researchers also found that students' writing results are considered impure because of the indications that students take them from the internet. This is indicated by the use of vocabulary used in addition to the results of interviews with the teacher. The researcher found that there was no guidance from the teacher to the students on how to write analytically. The teacher's exposition text only directs students to look for the structure of the analytical exposition text.

Abstract

This research is oriented to describe and elaborate on the mainstreaming policy of religious moderation on education in West Sulawesi Province, which the government is currently reviewing through the Ministry of Religion Affairs. The study conducted qualitative methods with specific data collection. It analyzed the instruments and found that the informants, consisting of educators and religious figures, deeply understood religious moderation based on the al-Qur'an and hadith, which emphasized Islam as a moderate religion. The principle of restraint (Wasathiyyah) in Islam is, in fact, equivalent to the direction or value of religious moderation programmed by the current government. Then, religious moderation is to be implemented in education. In that case, some components should be prepared carefully to avoid overlapping or duplicating with other programs. For example, several implementation models, with their respective advantages and disadvantages, include autonomous, integrative, collaborative, and enrichment models in education. In addition, what is also very urgent to formulate is the right curriculum, tools and learning designs, and competencies of educators, including an assessment tool which, of course, is more oriented towards attitudes and behavior no longer trapped in the pathology of learning that has been ongoing, more focused on fulfilling the cognitive domain.
