Abstract

Saat ini, penguasaan bahasa Inggris adalah suatu keharusan. Globalisasi dalam segala aspek kehidupan menuntut penguasaan bahasa Inggris sebagai landasan dalam pendidikan. Untuk membangun fondasi penguasaan bahasa Inggris yang baik, pembelajaran dini dianggap sebagai pilihan terbaik. Pembelajaran dini akan membantu siswa untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang kuat tentang bahasa Inggris. Namun, di Indonesia, pembelajaran bahasa Inggris tidak disarankan untuk diperkenalkan pada tahap awal pendidikan. Dengan kebijakan ini, siswa kurang mendapatkan paparan bahasa Inggris dalam proses pembelajaran awal mereka, dalam hal ini di taman kanak-kanak dan sekolah dasar. Menyikapi situasi tersebut, mahasiswa Jurusan Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Universitas Wiralodra menggagas kegiatan Fun Learning sebagai salah satu kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk memberikan para pelajar muda dalam hal ini siswa SD untuk mendapatkan pengalaman dan meningkatkan motivasi mereka untuk belajar bahasa Inggris dengan cara yang menyenangkan.

Kosakata bahasa Inggris mereka juga meningkat setelah kegiatan ini dilakukan. Para siswa sangat antusias belajar bahasa Inggris dan berharap agar dapat lebih aktif dalam belajar bahasa Inggris. Pihak sekolah SDN 1 Tegalurung juga mengharapkan kegiatan ini terjadwal secara rutin. Mereka mengharapkan Jurusan Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Universitas Wiralodra melakukan kegiatan rutin di sekolah tersebut. Artikel ini menyiratkan perlunya Pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris di Sekolah Dasar sebagai kegiatan wajib karena pentingnya dalam pendidikan siswa.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate undergraduate students' filler types in academic speaking presentations and how they use filler functions. This qualitative research used observation to analyze the type of fillers used by the students during the presentation and interview to analyze the function of the fillers they used. The participants were 21 undergraduate students of the English Education Department from Universitas Wiralodra. This study reported that the students used lexicalized and unlexicalized fillers during the presentation. Lexicalized fillers are found mostly used by the students with 60,93%. While unlexicalized filler appeared 39.07%. Those fillers functioned to hesitate, empathize, mitigate, edit terms, and create time. Filler is used and functioned by the students to show politeness and create time to plan what to say next. This study implies that the students need various strategies to use fillers properly and understand positive and negative fillers so they can develop their communicative competency. This study suggests further investigation in terms of the use of filler in written language.

Abstract

As one of the language skills, students tend to have difficulties in reading as one of the language skills, especially difficulties in comprehending the text. Because of that, this research aims to investigate undergraduate students' strategies in reading comprehension, which focus on global reading strategy (GLOB), problem-solving strategy (PROB), and support reading strategy (SUP) adapted from Mokhtari & Sheorey (2002). This research was conducted using qualitative research with a case study design. A close-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interview were used as the instruments of this research to gain information about students' reading strategies in reading comprehension, especially in academic reading subjects. Twenty students from the fourth semester of one University in Indramayu participated in this research. The finding shows that the students use PROB with 80,62%, followed by GLOB at 77,38%, and SUP at 73,11%. Students stated in the interview that PROB was helpful and made them focus on understanding information from difficult text. In GLOB, the students usually guess the text content and check whether their guessing related to the text is correct or incorrect. While in SUP, the students circled the text and went back and forth to find the relationship among ideas in the text. Eventually, the findings can be useful for those who wish to conduct a study on students' reading strategies. The further researcher can provide tests to determine the student's ability in reading comprehension to obtain the complete data.
