Abstract

This study aims to determine the students’ reading preference and its implications of three English Education Departments in Jember. Getting learners’ full attention in the learning process is very important, because the ability to read is one element of language competences that always needs to be elevated. However, reading material usually becomes the biggest obstacle for the lecturer to engage students’ full interest to the course. This study involved 273 students of three English Education Departments in Jember as research objects. Survey and interview methods were used to obtain the data. The research findings show that English Education Department students mostly interested to reading materials about entertainment and lifestyle, arts, religious, education and historical theme, and they avoid reading political and sport. Based on these findings, the suggestion for lecturers who specialize in the subjects related to reading activities is they should be able to present the teaching materials with themes favored by students in order to improve students’ reading motivation.

Abstract

Creating an English learning environment in which learners are highly motivated is sometimes very challenging for EFL teachers. Folktales can be useful for facilitating learners in their competence of English language and also for enhancing their cross-cultural awareness. In the field of language teaching, the richness and potential of folktales seems to have been under-utilized in today’s language classes. This paper explores how folktales can be used as a medium of improving students’ reading skills and major benefits in using folktales for teaching English.  A classroom action research was employed to attain the purpose of this study in which two cyclic learning sessions were conducted to improve English learners’ reading skills. Several selected Indonesian folktales were intensively utilized in reading classes. This result of this study indicates that use of folktales by EFL teachers could improve student’ reading skill and widen their vocabulary and at the same time, culture is acquired by the students.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe about the learning strategies that the visually impaired students (VIS) used in learning EFL as what explained by Oxford (2005) that during a learning process, strategies used by the learners depend on their motivation, background, age, learning style, achievement, and gender. It was found that there are 6 strategies used, they are (1) cognitive such as practicing, repeating, getting idea, analyzing and reasoning, summarizing and translating; (2) metacognitive, they are paying attention to the lesson and showing evidence of understanding; (3) social strategy, they are empathizing with others, asking questions, asking for a review, asking for additional input, and asking for confirmation; (4) affective, by decreasing their anxiety; (5) memory, by making associations, contextualizing words, recalling, resorting to visual residue, wrapping up, and retaking previous ideas; (6) compensation, by overcoming limitations in speaking and writing, attempting to give an answer, and using language mixing. Thus, visually impaired students must be treated special to cover their needs with appropriate teaching strategies and facilities.
