Abstract

Abstrak : Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif yang akan dipresentasikan secara kualitatif (naratif). Peneliti akan mengumpulkan informasi secara mendalam tentang klasifikasi penilaian keahlian berbicara (speaking) mahasiswa Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris STAIN Curup, skema nilai yang digunakan serta alasan pengggunaan klasifikasi dan sistem nilai tersebut. Adapun subjek penelitian ini adalah dosen-dosen Speaking II dan Speaking IV Tahun akademik berjalan Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris STAIN Curup. Sebuah checklist dan pedoman wawancara digunakan untuk menggali informasi tentang klasikasi penilaian dan sistem nilai dari subjek penelitian secara langsung. Catatan lapangan (fieldnotes) juga dimaksudkan untuk memperoleh data yang tidak tampak pada performansi di kelas dan untuk kepentingan trianggulasi data yang diperoleh secara keseluruhan nantinya. Adapun observasi, analisis dokumen dan wawancara adalah teknik dalam pengumpulan data. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dosen-dosen speaking memiliki klasifikasi penilaian yang beberapa komponennya telah sesuai dengan teori menilai keahlian berbicara, seperti Fluency, Grammatical accuracy, Comprehension/content, and pronunciation. Sementara sistem nilai dan penentuan skor untuk tiap elemen klasifikasi penilaian tersebut belum cukup jelas. Efisiensi dan efektivitas pemberian tes berbicara (speaking) menjadi alasan utama yang melatarbelakangi kriteria yang mereka pilih serta sistem penentuan skor yang mereka berlakukan. Sangatlah perlu bagi para dosen speaking untuk mempedomani teori tentang kriteria penilaian serta penentuan skor untuk tiap kriteria dalam melakukan penilaian keahlian berbicara mahasiswa. Hal ini akan meningkatkan objektivitas penilaian dan meminimalisir subjektivitas. Walaupun klasifikasi penilaian harus tetap merujuk pada aturan yang dibuat institusi (STAIN), diharapkan para dosen juga mempertimbangkan tujuan pengajaran speaking itu sendiri. Keywords : Marking system, criteria of marking dan scoring scheme

Students’ problems in using English to communicate need to be handled seriously. Teaching English is no more teaching the knowledge of English only but also the use of context. This library research elaborates on the importance of pragmatics for EFL students to improve their communication skills in various contexts of interaction and to strengthen the importance of pragmatic competence for non-native English teachers in teaching natural English communication. Documentation is the collecting technique using a checklist and fieldnote instruments. The primary sources are theories about pragmatics and teaching communication from books and published journals. In order to obtain correct and precise results in analyzing data, a content analysis technique is used. The data analysis procedure covers determining the design, which is linkage analysis, finding main data, and theories about pragmatics from books, then finding contextual knowledge from published research related to pragmatics and teaching English communication, and finally, writing and interpreting the linkage to describe the results. The findings show that pragmatics should not limitedly act as classroom instructions but as competence to be constantly developed and practised for students or teachers. Pragmatics should be seen from its whole aspect in order to communicate naturally and contextually. It can also be concluded that opportunities for pragmatic practice should be provided to achieve the goal of teaching English, that is, the ability to use English in various contexts of interaction.

Abstract

This is a qualitative case study that focused on elaborating the strategies used by EFL lecturers in building their pragmatic competence, the benefit they got after using those strategies, and how the lecturers built up students’ pragmatic competence in the classroom. Interviews, observation, and document analysis were the techniques of collecting data. 7 English lecturers were selected as the subject of the research. The findings showed that the English lecturers used several strategies to build their pragmatic competence, namely watching western films, reading English novels, building communication with native speakers, and joining international friendship community. Those strategies enriched their vocabulary or choice of words and idioms and trained them to speak natural English in a variety of communication contexts. Students’ pragmatic competence was built by using films, top-down approach on pronunciation teaching, pair work speaking and small group discussion, using authentic language in meaningful context, providing corrective feedback, introducing fillers, conversation maintenance cues, and implementing responsive activities. Pragmatic competence should be a leading goal for all those who teach ESL/EFL language, which simultaneously represents a challenging task as well.
