Abstract

Everyone might agree with the statement ‘learning is an activity that starts at birth and can be expected to continue for a lifetime’. In learning, children are not a miniature of adult, they have their own world, means that they do not learn things exactly the same way adults do. More specifically, children have their own culture and learning preferences. That is, children learn by way of physical activities (i.e., hands on experiences) in the context of doing things embedded in their daily lives, both individually and socially. Total Physical Response-Storytelling (TPR-S) provides other benefits over traditional approaches to foreign language teaching. Through consistent and comprehensible exposure to grammatically-correct language, students develop an "ear" for language. By allowing students to proceed with natural language acquisition, fluency is promoted. This article describes some theories of how children learn foreign language and how TPR-S can be used as one of effective technique in teaching foreign language to children. Key words: Children, Total Physical Response-Storytelling technique, language learning.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This present study examined student teachers’ Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety (FLSA) associated with gender and proficiency differences. The participants of the study were 72 second-year EFL student teachers at the English teacher education program of one public university in Jambi, Indonesia. A close-ended questionnaire developed from Syakur (1987) and Horwitz et al, (1986) was administered to the participants to explore their FLSA. The results indicated that EFL student teachers are highly anxious when speaking English. Furthermore, the findings revealed that there is no statistical difference between male and female student teachers on FLSA. On the contrary, proficiency does affect EFL learners’ anxiety wherein more proficient students seem to be less nervous to speak. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini membahas kecemasan berbicara bahasa asing (FLSA) siswa yang dihubungkan dengan perbedaan jenis kelamin dan kecakapan berbahasa Inggris. Jumlah peserta dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 72 mahasiswa tahun kedua pada program studi pendidikan bahasa Inggris di salah satu universitas negeri di Jambi. Kuesioner tertutup diberikan kepada peserta penelitian untuk mengetahui FLSA mereka. Hasil penelitian mengindikasikan bahwa siswa pembelajar bahasa asing (EFL) sangat cemas ketika berbicara bahasa Inggris. Selain itu, hasil juga menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan statistik yang signifikan pada FLSA antara siswa laki-laki dan perempuan. Sebaliknya, tingkat kecakapan sangat mempengaruhi kecemasan siswa EFL dimana siswa yang mempunyai kecakapan dalam bahasa Inggris terlihat tidak terlalu cemas untuk berbicara. How to Cite: Abrar, M.

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to look at a description of Indonesian EFL students’ vocabulary knowledge. The focus was on their lexical diversity (how many different words students used) and lexical sophistication (how many advance words students used) in the English production, which is learnt by them as a foreign language. Their vocabulary knowledge was assessed using the D_tools and P_Lex software for the analysis. These statistical programs describe students’ detail computation results in both number and graph. Ten participants’ word production through a story-telling test was recorded and analyzed to look at their D and Lambda value. Based on the results gathered, it can be concluded that as foreign language learners, lower level of proficiency participants could produce more lexically rich texts than higher level participants and vice versa.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the relationship amongst three concepts: language use, linguistic competence, and critical thinking. Pedagogical and cognitive aspects of language learning are evident in the implications of this research concerning how thought influences learning, and how learning influences thought. The sample of the study consisted of 52 students from Mutah University in Jordan who are enrolled in the BA program in the department of English language and literature.  The instruments used in the study included the LEAP-Q to measure the multilingual level of participants to determine language use, a critical thinking test to measure the participants’ level of reasoning, and a TOEFL proficiency test to measure the participants’ level of linguistic competence. The findings show significant positive correlations between language use and critical thinking, between linguistic competence and critical thinking, and between language use and linguistic competence. We conclude that language use enhances the linguistic abilities and possibly enhances the cognitive capabilities of the participants. We recommend encouraging students to use the second language inside and outside the classroom to enhance their linguistic and cognitive abilities.

Abstract

Recent developments in the field of multilingual processing have led to a renewed interest in exploring the effect of verbal fluency tasks from a new perspective (Shishkin & Ecke, 2018).  This Hungarian case study intends to investigate the effect of verbal fluency tasks on multilingual participants’ language proficiency with special attention to gender differences and educational background. Six participants were recruited to take part in the study: three males and three females. Respondents’ first language (L1) was Hungarian while their two foreign languages include English (L2/ L3) and German (L2/ L3). Data for this study were collected by using verbal fluency tasks, namely phonological and semantic fluency tests. Data management and analysis were performed using SPSS 22. The results suggest that students outperformed their graduate peers. The majority of the participants obtained better scores in English in terms of semantic fluency meanwhile most of the subjects achieved greater results in German as for the phonemic category. Female participants outperformed males both in the majority of phonemic and semantic tasks.

Abstract

The purpose of this qualitative study was to comprehensively investigate the experiences in writing undergraduate theses, the challenges faced, and strategies to alleviate the encountered challenges, of ten EFL student teachers at one higher education institution in Jambi. To collect the data, we employed semi-structured interviews guided by an interview protocol to elicit the participants’ responses. The results of the study, through thematic analysis (Braun & Clark, 2006), indicated that there are four major themes of challenges in writing an undergraduate thesis, including linguistics and writing knowledge issues, psychological issues, media and resources issues, and supervision and time management issues. To cope with those challenges, the participants employed some strategies, such as self-management strategy, technological help, and help from others. This study suggests EFL student teachers identify issues they struggle with in writing their theses. It is necessary so they could find a helpful way to deal with the challenge.

Abstract

Sepanjang pengamatan dilakukan di SDN 87 dan 22 Kota Jambi Kecamatan Danau Telauk Kota Jambi, ditemukan permasalahan klasik yakni proses pembelajaran yang berorientasi pada penguasaan materi pelajaran dan tidak memperhatikan substansi, makna atau nilai yang terkandung dari materi pelajaran. Permasalahan lainnya ditemukan perbedaan-perbedaan gaya belajar peserta didik yang menjadi ciri khas dalam membentuk struktur pengetahuannya, berkurangnya jumlah permintaan atau jumlah peserta didik yang masuk di sekolah tersebut karena masyarakat sekitar beranggapan bahwa kurangnya pelayanan dan kualitas pembelajaran yang diterima di sekolah tersebut mengingat jumlah yang masuk ke sekolah tersebut semakin berkurang. Sehingga seharusnya guru memberikan pelayanan yang prima bagi peserta didik yang memiliki karakteristik belajar yang berbeda tersebut. Metode analisis dilakukan secara analisis SWOT, survey pelaksanaan pelayanan prima. Perancangan yang dilakukan: 1). Frame work penerapan pelayanan prima berbasis digital melalui aplikasi “rumah Belajar”; 2). Model pelayanan prima yang diterapkan; 3). Intervensi peserta didik dengan mendesain tampilan kebutuhan peserta didik 4) Komunikasi guru dan peserta didik; 5) Implementasi; dan 6) Pengukuran. Adapun hasil pengabdian ini menunjukkan bahwa 1) pelayanan prima pembelajaran berbasis digital melalui aplikasi “rumah belajar” bertujuan untuk memperbaiki kualitas pembelajaran yang ada di sekolah SDN 87 dan SDN 22 Kota Jambi. Hal ini dikarenakan banyaknya keluhan masyarakat terkait kurang maksimalnya para guru dalam memberikan pembelajaran karena terhambat teknologi. Untuk itu, pengabdian ini membina dan melatih guru-guru agar dapat mengoperasikan media digital melalui aplikasi “rumah belajar” dalam proses pembelajaran sebagai wujud dari bentuk pelayanan prima yang diberikan sekolah tersebut kepada masyarakat, dan 2) Dari hasil evaluasi dan monitoring diketahui bahwa diterapkannya pelayanan prima melalui media digital aplikasi “rumah belajar” yang dilakukan penyelenggara pendidikan dalam hal ini SDN 87 dan SDN 22 Kota Jambi dapat disimpulkan bahwa kesulitan peserta didik dalam belajar, kegundahan orang tua dalam menghadapi anaknya yang kesulitan belajar, dan peserta didik juga merasa puas terhadap jawaban guru dari kesulitan peserta didik yang dialami, yang pada akhirnya guru adalah sebagai pelayan peserta didik.

Abstract

Seorang guru tugas dan tanggung jawabnya bukan hanya mengajar, namun juga harus mampu menggunakan Information and Communications Technology (ICT) yang sangat bermanfaat untuk mendukung proses pembelajaran. Dengan menguasai ICT, guru akan mudah mempersiapkan berbagai perangkat pembelajaran. Salah satu aplikasi yang paling sering di pakai adalah Microsoft word. Akan tetapi, masih banyak guru-guru yang masih belum tau bagaimana penggunaan Microsoft word ini secara maksimal. Hal ini menggugah Tim Pengabdian untuk melakukan workshop kepada guru-guru khususnya para guru Bahasa Inggris yang ada di Kota Jambi agar mereka bisa meningkatkan keterampilan menulis yang berfokus pada teknis penggunaan toolbars yang ada dalam Microsoft word yang sangat bermanfaat bagi mereka dalam menyusun administrasi pembelajaran. Kegiatan ini dilakukan selama 2 hari dalam bentuk workshop dengan jumlah peserta sebanyak 71 orang yang terdiri dari 36 orang guru SMA dan 35 orang guru SMP se Kota Jambi. Berdasarkan hasil refleksi yang ditulis oleh para peserta, umumnya mereka mengakui akan keterbatasan pengetahuannya dalam menggunakan fitur-fitur yang ada dalam Ms.Word. Dengan dilaksanakannya workshop ini mereka menyatakan banyak sekali kebermanfaatan dalam mengikuti kegiatan ini karena akhirnya mereka tahu bagaimana mengoptimalkan penggunaan Ms.Word dalam menyusun perangkat pembelajaran.
