Abstract

This study was carried out in response to the demand that in this 4.0 era, Indonesian students should be proficient in English. Hence, in Indonesia, English has been taught and learnt since elementary school level up to tertiary level of education. This long period of learning should lead the students to be proficient in English which is proved by passing the minimum score of 450 TOEFL test. Yet, many of them did not meet the minimum score. Thus, this study investigates their perception and belief in learning English and the challenge of being able to be proficient in English. The study was done qualitatively through interviewing 80 students of non-English Department who were taking TOEFL course. It reveals that English is perceived like a two-side coin which in one hand, it is misperceived as a difficult subject because of its complicated rules to be memorized. In the other hand, it is thought to be joyful and meaningful that they believe as a means of bringing educational, social, and economical success. Therefore, they are challenged to be proficient in English. This study is then pedagogically implemented through building positive belief and perception that learning English is fun and helpful.Keywords: Belief; perception; challenge; and globalization era

Abstract

Conversation Analysis (CA) has a great implication in the second or foreign language teaching and learning. This study was aimed to analyse a casual conversation, to identify what people do to sustain a conversation. The conversation, which lasted for 20 minutes and involved three speakers, was transcribed verbatim. Several features of the spoken text are analysed: spontaneity, interactivity, interpersonal features, coherence features, negotiation of meaning, and speech function. The result of the analysis showed that there are several strategies used by the speakers: time-gaining strategies (filled pauses; frequent use of conjunctions: and, but, so); using chunks and producing one clause or phrase in small ‘runs’; self-monitoring strategies (repetition, backtracking), and interactional strategies (backchanneling, showing amusement by laughing or chuckling, using certain discourse markers, hedges, vague language, showing empathy by completing and repeating each other’s utterances). The speakers also negotiate interpersonally and logico-semantically to keep the conversation going on. The equal number of rejoinders that each speaker produces indicates that they are willing to support each other to sustain the conversation. This study implies that when teaching speaking, English teachers should include communication strategies to achieve the goals of communication.Keywords: casual conversation; negotiation of meaning; speech function; strategies.

The researchers employed quantitative methods. They distributed a questionnaire to collect data. Eighty two students from two different English intensive courses were asked to fill a 5 point Likert scale questionnaire and answer four open-ended questions. The researchers used the survey planet app to facilitate the process of distributing and collecting data. The finding of this study showed that students faced some challenges with online learning; they preferred face to face classes. The disadvantages of online classes from their perspectives are more than the advantages. The weak internet connectivity, poor interaction, less motivation, less participation and less understanding are the most challenges of online learning.
