Partner Reading is a cooperative learning strategy in which two students work together to read an assigned text. This leads the students to feel free to express their prior knowledge during the discussion with their pair. This study examined the effect of Partner Reading on students' reading comprehension.

The independent variable of this research was a teaching strategy that is partner reading. Students' reading comprehension was considered as a dependent variable. This research used all of the population as the sample. The research was analyzed through a t-test with SPSS 21 software. The research reveals that teaching strategies used after treatment affect significantly on the students' reading comprehension as the sig- 2 tailed shows that it was less than 0.000 at the level of significance 0.05 and N=24.

Abstract

This paper is aimed at finding out whether or not: (1) the students who were taught with Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) have better speaking performance than those who do not; (2) the students having high self-efficacy have better speaking skill than those having low self-efficacy; and (3) there is an interaction between teaching methods and self-efficacy on students' speaking performance. The research was conducted at SMAN 8 Mataram. Each class was divided into two groups (the students having high (32 students) and low self-efficacy (30 students). The techniques used to collect the data were speaking test and self-efficacy questionnaire. The data was analyzed by using multifactor analysis of variance 2x2 through SPSS 21 software. The finding shows that Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) improved the students' speaking performance as this method focused on giving the students task to be discussed during the teaching and learning process. Their self-efficacy also influenced students' speaking performance. The higher the students' self-efficacy, the better speaking skill could be performed. However, the study's finding didn't suggest that TBLT is more effective in enhancing students' speaking performance for the students having high or low self-efficacy as there is no interaction between the teaching method and self-efficacy on the students' speaking performance.

Assessment evidence is only meaningful when it reflects the true picture of student learning. In this sense, the role of effective assessment instrument, such as test, as crucial to obtain a valid and reliable evidence of student learning.

The teachers’ made testscollected in this study were analysed deductively based on five principles of language assessment. The study indicates that the teacher-made test was in general meet all aspects ofthe principles. However, some aspects within principles are not adequately addressed.

Guru mempunyai peranan yang krusial dalam menyajikan pembelajaran yang interaktif dan menyenangkan bagi siswa. Akan tetapi guru masih terlihat enggan untuk menyisipkan metode pembelajaran yang kreatif sehingga  siswa dalam kesehariannya tidak mengenal bahasa Inggris dengan baik dan kurang berminat belajar bahasa Inggris. Siswa tidak fasih dalam berbahasa Inggris selama proses belajar dan mengajar karena malu untuk mengucapkan kosakata berbahasa Inggris dihadapan teman kelasnya. Permasalahan yang dipecahkan dalam program pengabdian kepada masyarakat adalah bagaimana penerapan Tongue Twister dalam upaya meningkatkan kemampuan berbahasa Inggris para siswa, dan menemukan sejauh mana kemampuan berbahasa Inggris siswa dalam menggunakan Tongue Twister. Siswa diharapkan dapat memiliki pengucapan yang baik, mencapai skor standar, dan aktif dalam berbicara menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Metode berupa pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain pre-experimental.
