Abstract

This present study investigated the students’ ability to produce complex sentences between male and female students who studied in a CLIL Bilingual School in Surabaya. The participants of this study were 50 primary six students. The document analysis was used to obtain data about the students’ production of complex sentences. T-unit analysis was employed to investigate the students’ proficiency in writing complex sentences. Additionally, to generate the students’ lexical richness, this study used Antconc to help generate the TTR (type-tokens ratio) on the essay. The result showed no significant differences between male and female students in their proficiency in writing complex sentences, as the p-value was higher than 0.05. It indicated that the CLIL Bilingual students’ proficiency in writing complex sentences was equal, and the input and exposure were similar. However, female students show a higher TTR and more lexical variety in producing complex sentences than male students. These findings significantly impacted understanding how gender impacts the ability to produce complex sentences when writing and using lexical variety.

Abstract

Studies investigating the implementation of content language integrated learning (CLIL) have been widely conducted in response to the use of English as a lingua franca. However, they are mostly conducted in secondary to higher education where students have acquired their L1. They are also limited to primary education and have largely examined the teachers’ perspectives. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of the CLIL implementation on students’ English proficiency and skills at primary school to look at the feasibility of this approach implemented in primary schools. Descriptive quantitative research is conducted to analyze and explain the English proficiency levels and skills of 64 third graders and 62 fourth graders in one primary school in Surabaya, Indonesia. The findings revealed that the CLIL approach implementation had positive impacts on students’ English acquisition. The students’ English proficiency levels were from basic to outstanding levels. They showed satisfied English average scores on writing, listening, and the use of English. They also demonstrated higher average scores on every skill component. This was due to the amount of English exposure and input the CLIL students received from the content-subject materials. The content material’s understanding, knowledge, and skill helped them acquire the target language. However, the students needed to improve their reading for detail skills as their scores were low.
