Abstract

The study aimed at exploring the phonological interference made by Pendalungan students in EFL reading, particularly in vowel phonemes. Pendalungan is an assimilation of two majority ethnics in Eastern Java; Java and Madura. Due to the unique characteristics of the language used by this group of community, it is assumed that the errors made by EFL Pendhalungan students might show different patterns as those found in either Javanese and Madurese students. To answer the problem of the research, the descriptive qualitative design was employed. There were eight students who belonged to the Pendalungan community, from a private university in East Java were taken as respondents. The secondary instruments used was an oral test of reading an English text. The finding showed that there were 12 incorrecty pronounced vowels; /ɪ, aʊ, ɔ:, e, Ʌ, əʊ, aɪ, ɪə, ə, ɒ, eɪ, æ/. The finding was analyzed based on the types of phonological interference, namely sound addition, sound omission, and sound replacement. The first two types have the least cases of two for each, while the last type has the most. Furthermore,the phonological interference emerged in the finding is somehow related to the nature of both languages, Javanese and Madurese. Inaccuracy mostly occurs because students pronounce the words as they are written.

Moreover, the calculation model for those variables was formed for the future prediction for the related educators. The results indicated the importance of peer teaching method in class room for student learning supporting by the highly satisfied scores have impact on all variables included in this research.

Abstract

Learning other language is not just translating ideas into the targeted language, but it is an act of learning the whole set of the language itself. In the context of teaching English as a Foreign Language, teachers take very crucial role. They should be able to set such atmosphere where their students can be exposed into English environment as much as possible. On the other hand, maintaining the use English at all time is a difficult task to do, since the vocabulary of the foreign learners, often, is very limited. It creates a challenge for the teacher, in terms of making the students comprehend a certain word that they do not understand previously. Shifting into the mother tongue is surely the easiest escape from this matter. However, a teacher should be creative enough to find alternatives that allow the students to learn new words while the use of English is maintained. There are techniques that a teacher can use to provide comprehension to the students without shifting into the mother tongue.

Abstract

Speaking as a language skill has been considered the most difficult one to master by the students especially in Songserm Wittaya School Songkla, Thailand. It was found that the majority of the students found it difficult to speak English fluently. As a productive skill, speaking is complex because learners need to acquire the accuracy and fluency in speaking. However, one EFL class showed a bit difference in the ability of speaking English because of their reading intensity. The design of the research was descriptive qualitative. The data were collected by a questionnaire for intensive reading and an interview on speaking to 30 students at 4/3 grade. The results of this research in general revealed that most of the students at grade 4/3 Thailand are good in speaking English due to their intensive reading that reached 50%. It was clearly seen from the analysis of some aspects of speaking (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension) in the interview section and questionnaire of reading intensity that 50% of the participants can speak English better through reading activity intensively. This finding implies that intensive reading has become a meaningful input for students’ speech production.

This means that Tcount ttable or 4.01 3.06, with theresult that students’ writing skills are enhanced using Collaborative DesignThinking (CoDeT) method instead of the conventional method. This meansthat there is a significant improvement in the inclusion of Collaborative DesignThinking (CoDeT) method on students’ writing skills. It implies that CoDeTmethod can enhance students’ ability to teach writing skills in narrative texts.Through this research, several advantages of using the Collaborative DesignThinking (CoDeT) method in teaching writing skills to seventh grade studentswere revealed, such as 1). encouraging students to be actively involved in thelearning process and 2). facilitating students in understanding teaching materialthrough discussion.
