Abstract

This experimental study aims at investigating the application of Indirect Corrective Feedback (ICF) in teaching writing recount text. The subjects of the study were tenth graders of SMAN 1 Meulaboh who are chosen randomly. The instrument used is writing tests. This study focuses on giving ICF on students’ recount writing in terms of grammatical features of the text. Accordingly, there are eight error aspects included in the analysis; these are verb, noun ending, spelling, word form, word order, pronoun, missing and unnecessary word. The findings indicate that Indirect Corrective Feedback helps students to reduce errors in eight aspects. It is shown from the decreased mean score of errors in the post-test ( = 12.17) which was lower than the mean score of errors in the pre-test (  = 27.07). Verb was the aspect reduced mostly in students’ recount texts (56) followed by word order (18), word form (16), spelling (14), pronoun (12), noun ending (11), unnecessary word (8), and missing word (3). From t-test analysis in the post-tests of both groups, this study found that t-counted was higher than t-table (1.823 ˃ 1.68). Thus, H0 was rejected. The result confirmed that Indirect Corrective Feedback can significantly improve the students’ writing achievement by the reduction of errors.

Abstract

Questions raised by a teacher as a part of teacher talk is important to stimulate students’ participation in English Foreign Language (EFL) classroom interaction. The questions posed by teachers in the classrooms are sometimes modified when they notice that the students have difficulties in understanding the questions. This study investigated four types of questioning modifications –repetition, narrowing by means of clues, rephrasing with alternative or “or-choice” questions and wait-time– proposed by Chaudron (1988) used by a teacher in one bilingual senior high school in Banda Aceh. Six sessions (altogether 480 minutes) of classroom observation were conducted. A dominant questioning modification type was indicated as a result of the analysis of video recordings from the observations. In addition, the reason of the teacher to use the dominant type of questioning modification is also discussed in this paper.

Abstract

This study investigated the rhetorical pattern (RP) of the introduction section of the scripts written by Acehnese undergraduate students studying in four different universities in Aceh. The focus of this study is on three elements: placement of the thesis, patterns of idea, and metadiscourse markers of the introduction section. Literature has reported a number of findings regarding the RP; however, information about this in undergraduate level, particularly in state universities in Aceh, is still limited. This study was conducted qualitatively by employing content analysis to identify the RP. A number of introduction sections of students’ scripts from four selected universities in Aceh were collected and analysed. The result shows the dominance of the three elements in the introduction section.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe the proficiency level of English for Foreign Language (EFL) students based on their TOEFL scores. The samples for this descriptive quantitative study consisted of 30 English Education Department students from Syiah Kuala University and Ar-Raniry State Islamic University. The scores gathered from the organised TOEFL test were analysed according to the CEFR reference levels to categorise the English proficiency level of the students. The total TOEFL scores gathered showed that, on average, the students placed in the B1 (intermediate) level of English proficiency. Individually, there were four students in the A2 (elementary) level, 15 students in the B1 (intermediate) level, ten students in the B2 (upper intermediate) level, and one student in the C1 (advanced) level of proficiency. Regarding the skills proficiency, on average, the students achieved the B2 (upper intermediate) level in the first section, which was higher than the remaining two sections that averaged on the B1 (intermediate) level. The students’ proficiency levels found in this study showed that, on average, they were able to pass the universities’ TOEFL graduation requirement but still fall short for abroad scholarship admission.

Abstract

This research examined the rhetorical pattern of thesis background, particularly the undergraduate scripts of English education department students. The purpose of the study is to find out the tendency of rhetorical patterns by students in writing thesis backgrounds.  The approach used in this study is a qualitative method. The researcher investigates twenty English education undergraduate scripts from UIN Ar-Raniry and Syiah Kuala University. To collect the data, documentation of undergraduate thesis background was used as the instrument. The data were collected   from the electronic   repository   thesis  and  dissertation   from  both universities.  Then, the researcher examined the data based on the framework  of Swales’s CARS model (2004). The results of this research revealed that the undergraduate  students of English departments have similar rhetorical patterns in the thesis background. Furthermore, the research identified the cyclical pattern which showed that the students tend to repeat the cycle. Students tend to use the first language style that led the students to write circumstantially to deliver their points in the thesis background.  In conclusion,  the rhetorical  pattern of the thesis background used by students is compatible with the theoretical framework. Bearing the problems in mind, this research has implication on the students majoring in English Education to employ more effective rhetorical patterns in the background of undergraduate scripts crafted in English.

The results showed that: 1) The innovation of Islamic religious education learning at the two MTsN models was carried out through the enrichment of the Islamic religious education curriculum, which included sharpening, remedial, and coaching programs. At MTsN Model Aceh, learning innovation also includes a variety of methods, from monotonous to varied, and from lectures to discussions, exercises, assignments, homework and presentations. The innovation of Islamic religious education learning media in the Aceh MTsN Model also varies from manuals to digital media, from worksheets to e-learning media, and from classrooms to laboratories. Furthermore, the learning evaluation innovation in the Aceh MTsN Model consists of tests and non-tests; 2) The similarity of Islamic religious learning in both the Banda Aceh Model MTsN and the Gandapura Model MTsN in terms of curriculum enrichment lies in the use of the National curriculum standards. On the other hand, the difference lies in class grouping, where the Banda Aceh Model MTsN makes small groups and the Gandapura Model MTsN makes a package system.
