This means that whether subject matter is at the elementary level, middle school level, high school level, college level or adult education level, the teacher thoroughly "understands" the content. The main purpose of direct method of teaching is to provide information within a structure that enables all students to attain the stated objectives at a level of mastery.The aim of the research was whether there was any influence between the use of direct method in teaching reading comprehension and the students' achievement in reading comprehension or not.The methods of collecting data were questionnaire, test for reading, and documentary study. The data of this research are analyzed by using "Product Moment Correlation" Person method.The result of calculation of the correlation coefficient between the use of direct method in teaching reading comprehension and the students' achievement up to 0.93. The value of product moment in the table with N = 30 or df = N-2 = 28 in significant 5% is 0.361 and 1 % is 0.463. If this value or rxy is compared with the value of product moment, so 0.361 < 0.93 > 0.463 or rxy > rxyt, it means the value found is bigger than the value in the table.

Abstract

Nature is essential to our lives. Unfortunately, the widespread influence of modernism and industrial progress results to environmental pollution and destruction of the nature.

This study is thus aimed to discuss and integrate the nature of Ecocriticism in English language teaching, particularly in the applications in lesson plans and teaching materials. The results show that Ecocriticism disseminates the issues of environmental crisis and the necessity of saving the nature and therefore taking the roles of literature to lead people virtue and right is necessary. English teachers is unequivocally became “green” moral agents. They have new responsibilities to use literature to not only teach English skills and components, but also to embed and spread the virtues of loving the nature to the students. Thus, the concept of Eco-ELT derived from the terms of Ecociticism and English Language Teaching (ELT) was coined and introduced. Eco-ELT worked on a basis postulate that literary works could be an avenue to teach English and ecology at the same time. The selections and applications of the literary works therefore mattered.

Abstract

: The problem with this research is the lack of skills and thinking skills of humane education in the twenty-first century, especially of critical thinking and problem-solving. It is caused by several factors, one of the main factors is, learning that has not been oriented to the development of the twenty-first-century thinking skills and still only focuses on achieving partial-textual knowledge and not on the integrative-contextual understanding of the knowledge learned. In line with this, it takes an effort to improve the critical thinking skills of Indonesian education. The effort should be initiated by engineering the appropriate education model and on target, one of which is multiliteracies pedagogy. This research was conducted using the literature study discussing multiliteracies pedagogy to enhancing critical thinking skills in the twenty-first century. Literature review refers to a written synthesis of journal articles, books, and other documents that summarizes and critiques the past and current state of information about a topic, organizes the literature into sub-topics, and documents the background for a study. It can be concluded that the implementation of the multiliteracies pedagogy models is one of the alternative learning models that can improve critical thinking and problem-solving students in the university effectively in the areas of study taught compared to the most direct models used in English Language Teaching (ELT). Therefore, it is advisable to implement multiliteracies pedagogy in the practice of learning activities. Also, the application of multiliteracies pedagogy should be supported by the cooperation of all elements, both between teachers, management, and parents. This needs to be done to realize the effectiveness of quality learning, thus giving implications on the growth of potential students.

This is qualitative research in which the data were in the form of dialogues between the characters, especially related to Mrs. Keeney.
