Abstract

Pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris berbasis ICT sudah menjadi sebuah keharusan terutama pada abad 21. Pendampingan ini berfokus pada peningkatan speaking skill siswa/i SD Gembala Baik yang berada di wilayah Jl. Jendral Ahmad Yani Pontianak. SD Plus Gembala Baik adalah salah satu sekolah dasar yang menggunakan sistem bilingual/dua bahasa sebagai bahasa pengantar dan media interaksi antara guru dan peserta didik. Untuk itu, dalam pendampingan ini metode yang digunakan adalah mengaplikasikan penggunaan gambar sebagai media ajar dalam melatih kemampuan presentasi dalam Bahasa Inggris oleh peserta didik. Fokus pembelajaran berbasis ICT tidak terbatas hanya pada pembelajaran bahasa namun juga mencakup semua aspek pembelajaran. Hasilnya Antusiasme yang luar biasa dari para peserta didik dalam melakukan presentasi karena pengetahuan serta tips yang mereka dapatkan dalam membuat presentsi semakin menyenangkan terutama dalam penggunaan gambar sebagai media ajar, sekalipun kendala yang terjadi pada penerapan pembelajaran berbasis ICT namun tidak menyurutkan niat peserta didik dalam mengikuti kegiatan pembelajaran pada akhirnya peserta didik bisa tampil lebih percaya diri dalam berbicara di depan kelas.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the effectiveness of integrating presentation and roleplay activities in boosting undergraduate students’ English-speaking fluency in Business English class at tertiary level. The study is grounded in the problem that the awareness of English language instructors is often narrowly defined as declarative knowledge, without having sufficient attention to how such knowledge is enacted as procedural knowledge pedagogically. The study employs a qualitative case study design using observation and interview as the data collection method to assess data on the practice of declarative knowledge and procedural knowledge applied systematically. The findings reveal that presentation and roleplay activities significantly enhance students’ communication skills, particularly in terms of fluency, improved comprehension, contextual understanding, and interactive skills. Additionally, presentation and roleplay activities increase students’ confidence in speaking in English and encourage more frequent use of English in the classroom. Hence, the study results would benefit academicians in incorporating presentation and roleplay activities as effective tools in enhancing students’ communication skills in classroom activities. This study further elaborates on how presentation and roleplay activities, when used in a systematic and well-organized way, could optimize students’ participation in a Business English class, exploring more on their

Abstract

Background. Language processing and syntactic structure are closely linked to the cognitive system and mental representation. Mental representation serves as an internal model that allows speakers to predict, interpret, and produce grammatically structured sentences. In recent years, research in psycholinguistics and cognitive neuroscience has increasingly highlighted the neural and cognitive mechanisms underlying syntactic processing. Understanding how mental representation interacts with syntax can help explain individual differences in language ability and processing efficiency. Purpose. This study aims to examine the role of mental representation in the construction and processing of syntactic structures. Specifically, the research investigates how cognitive factors such as working memory and attention influence the mental encoding and retrieval of syntactic patterns. Furthermore, the study seeks to understand the neural basis of syntactic processing and how different brain regions contribute to syntactic comprehension and production. Method. The research employs a qualitative approach combined with neuropsychological analysis. Data collection includes cognitive tests assessing working memory and attentional capacity, as well as brain imaging techniques such as functional MRI (fMRI) to observe neural activity during syntactic processing tasks. This multi-method approach provides both behavioral and neurological insights into the interplay between mental representation and syntax. Results. The findings show that brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex and Broca’s area exhibit significant activity during syntactic processing tasks. The level of brain activation correlates with individual differences in working memory and attention, indicating that cognitive capacity influences syntactic processing efficiency. Conclusion. Mental representation plays a critical role in syntactic structure formation and language processing. Cognitive factors, particularly working memory and attention, significantly contribute to the efficiency and accuracy of syntactic processing, highlighting the importance of integrating cognitive and neuropsychological perspectives in language research.
