Abstract

This paper is intended to discuss the result and the performance of KPN student’s achievement through Computer Based Assessment (CBA) as the media in doing the summative test. This test refers to as assessment of learning, and aims to measure the student’s performance at the end of their course and based on the syllabus or the course textbook given by the teacher. Since the English teacher is having a burden in correcting the student’s paper examination manually in giving the feedback of the test, so this CBA model is one kind of the best solution. The method used in collecting the data is by qualitative approach. The students are given 100 multiple choice questions and the time allotment in answering the questions is about 60 minutes. There are 140 students who do the test by CBA model. From the result of the test, it can be found that there are 29% students who get score in length of 85-100, 26% get score in length of 70 – 84, 21% get score in length of 60-69, 11% get score in length of 50-59, and 13% get score in length of 31– 49. By having known this test result instantly, the teacher can decide to do the remedial test in order to increase the students’ English achievement and master the English knowledge given during one semester. This remedial test by using CBA model is very helpful for teacher in knowing the student’s achievement without spending much time in doing correction.

This article investigates the existence of Wattpad as a cyber-platform to produce literary works through socio-cultural paradigm. By adopting Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical framework, the discussion is intended to further elaborate whether such a story-sharing website – firstly launched in 2006 – has some typical natures as the field of literary production. The objective of this study is to explore how currently the influence of technological reformation is toward the practice of literary production. Eventually, from the exploration conducted to Wattpad, it is found that there are some typical characteristics that bring consideration to see it as a field of literary production. However, those characteristics must be seen contextually for it is conditioned in cyber space, yet the logic of conventional practice is carried over into it.

Abstract

The focus of this paper is to analyze the domination and resistance in the domestic area as portrayed in Maugham‟s The Colonel’s Lady. The special aims are to analyze the factors that trigger the wife‟s resistance, the kind of resistance carried out by the wife, and the impacts of the wife‟s resistance on the husband. The analysis is supported by the concept of power by Foucault, the concepts of resistance and how to face domination by Vinthagen and Johanson, Husu, Butler et al., Cohen and Taylor, and Woolf. The qualitative method is used in the contextual analysis focusing on the character, conflict, and setting. The result shows that the wife subtly resists the constricting patriarchal atmosphere in the household by constructing a private area in which she actualizes herself in the world of poetry. Her great success enables her to enter a new and different zone where she is the star. This makes the husband feel uncomfortable and even insulted but he cannot do anything because his wife still shows her respect to him and she does nothing unlawful against him.

Abstract

The aim of my talk is to explore the relationship between student-centred learning (SCL) and extensive reading (ER), and how to bring the two closer together in the classroom. I will first (re)examine the concepts behind SCL and the key features normally associated with this approach to learning, i.e., the degree of personalized learning, level of student engagement and motivation, and student control over learning. I will then discuss the theoretical underpinnings (e.g., input theory and skill learning theory) and key characteristics (e.g., appropriate reading materials in terms of choice and variety) of ER in order to determine the extent to which ER is compatible with SCL. I will then provide research evidence demonstrating how the marriage between SCL and ER could lead to enhanced student learning, i.e., greater mastery of the target language and a more positive attitude towards language learning.

Abstract

This article reported a pedagogical attempt to facilitate students' verbal creativity (hereafter: VC) in EFL writing course. This study was aimed at (1) providing students with learning activities that would promote students' VC; (2) promoting students' VC in EFL writing class; and (3) revealing students' perception towards the implementation of the pedagogical attempt in promoting students' VC. To achieve the aims, a collaborative action research was employed. The subject of this study was 30 of the second-grade students of English Education Department in a private university in East Java, Indonesia. The data in this study was taken from class observation, VC test, and in-depth interview. The results show that (1) the nine-learning-step proposed by Avila (2015) was implemented. Those nine steps are remembering English grammar and structure, creating a fictional story, promoting creative writing, boosting vocabulary through screen writing, sharing a speech, circle life, drawing and speaking, asking and answering questions, and asking the students to create their own activities. (2) From the VC test, it was also revealed that through Avila's (2015) nine-learning-step, the students’ VC are facilitated and promoted. (3) The students also have positive attitude and positive feedback towards the implementation of the nine-learning-step. The findings of this study might have implications to EFL writing teachers and students.
