Abstract

Teaching English as a Foreign Language is challenging. The body of  literature has addressed the  issue on the current challenges  in teaching English as Foreign Language. However, only few studies have investigated  the  issue  in  remote  areas  of  Indonesia.  This  qualitative study  investigates  the  current  challenges  in  teaching  English  in  least-developed region of Indonesia based on the following criteria: language comprehension,  method  and  approach,  practical  implementation,  and socio-cultural environment. The data were collected from four English lecturers  in  one of  teaching  universities  in  Indonesia.  The  participants were  selected  using  purposive  sampling  technique.  The  data  were collected  using  in-depth  interview  and  field  observation  which  were then  analyzed  descriptively.  The  results  of  the  study  reveal  that  the participants  have  to  deal  with  several  obstacles  in  teaching  English. Those  obstacles  include  the  students’  low  proficiency  of  language comprehension,  limited  resources  of  materials,  communication  gap between  lecturers  and  students,  students’  lack  of  enthusiasm  and participation in learning and lack of environmental support from society. From  the  observation,  the  participants  show  that  the  challenges  are mitigated  by  adjusting  their  choice  of  pedagogical  instruction  and learning  materials  according  to  students’  level  of  language comprehension. The study suggests that the infrastructure development is strongly essential to establish a good teaching environment. Besides, creating  positive  understanding  and  paradigm  about  the  sanctity  of learning English for students might be able to help the students’ to study English better.

Abstract

 The  EFL  teaching  is  challenging.  Moreover,  teaching English  towards  the  hearing-impaired  students  (hereafter  HIS)  must have  its  own  uniqueness  because  of  the  greater  challenges.  The exploration  in  this  phenomenological  study  goes  with  the  teacher’s lived  experience  in  teaching  English  especially  vocabulary  towards the  HIS.  Telling  narratively  of  the  teacher’s  lived  experience  in teaching English towards the HIS is the purpose of this research. The descriptions  go  on  the  teacher’s  understanding,  belief,  feeling, intention,  and  action  which  are  elaborated  by  the  purpose  of  the teaching, the materials, the technique, and the achievement. According to the findings, the purposes of teaching vocabulary are to enrich their vocabulary mastery and to proof that the HIS can learn language. The teacher can only teach simple words because it takes time and lots of efforts. Visualization  is the best teaching technique ever  for the HIS because it helps better memorization since it gives emotional feeling for  them.  In  conclusion,  the  HIS  can  learn  simple  vocabulary. Visualization helps them memorizing words better.
