Abstract

The rapid development of technology has changed children’s attention mostly to computer and its all-things rather than to paper based things.  This way, story books for children may become untouched things that lead to the unheard of strange things to children.  If the condition happens, language acquisition, cultural understanding, and moral teaching and all the advantages of tales reading will then come into only a fantasy. TabTale’s interactive storybooks provide an exciting and rich reading experience on iPad, iPhone and other digital devices. With over 25 million downloads TabTale's interactive books, games and educational apps provide a new interactive experience full of innovative activities which inspire children’s creativity and imagination as well as help caring parents to educate their lovable children in a uniquely enjoyable and fun way. As brilliant interactive books for kids, TabTale provide many famous stories for children in which in each title not only can we enjoy the story but games as well.  Thus, children can help the characters inside the stories to do certain things, tap a character and see how it transforms, opt whether to read the story by themselves and record the sound or let the media read for them so they know the best way to pronounce the words, do puzzles in between the readings, paint the pictures, count objects, match pictures, and else.  Thus, the variations of activities inside motivate children to know more and understand any aspects of education they should get in their early stage of life.

Abstract

Teaching students are known to be challenging. Among the challenges are that students have short attention span, love to spend most of their time playing, and often talk with their peers. Furthermore, in the context of learning English as a second language, simple distraction can be a good escape for them from studying. This will result in problems for the teacher. Therefore, teaching time should be meaningful for the students to be able to learn. In creating meaningful learning experience, teacher prepares the students to be ready for the lesson, makes students understand what and why they are learning it, and how they are going to learn it. It is the task of the teacher to ensure such process to happen. The presentation will describe my experience about how I ensure the above process to take place. Learning my lesson that my students were detached from the lesson I was giving, I changed the way I start the lesson in my class at a pre-school in Jakarta. I used some techniques to manage the class, namely “Presentation, Practice, and Production (PPP), and also used “Audio-Lingualism” method. These are considered to be the solution for me in grabbing their attention, in order to make them fully understand the lesson. The presentation is expected to be attended by English teachers, teacher trainers, and those who are interested in the area of teaching English to young learners.

Abstract

In the teaching learning process, scholars need to consider so many things. The two biggest things are students and teachers. Teachers as the focus of the present study are required to have many strategies in teaching. Consequently, speaking subject teachers need to speak actively in teaching and learning process and may use teacher’s talk to encourage the students to speak and respond the instructions in the speaking class actively. The objective of this present study was to investigate whether teacher’s talk exist in speaking class and to analyze the most dominant teacher’s talk element used by the teacher and the teacher’s reason to use it. Xiao-yan (2006) defines teacher talk (TT) as the kind of language used by the teacher for instruction in the classroom. In English teaching and learning, when a teacher just talks to their students and if their students understand, they are not only giving the lesson about the subject, but also may be giving the best language lesson (Hariyanti, 2005). Located at University of Muhammadiyah Malang, this present study used qualitative narrative design to obtain and analyze the data. Observation and interview were used to collect the data. Non participant interview was chosen to get the data of teacher’s talk and the element of teacher’s talk used by the lecturer. Besides, the structured interview was used to gain the information of the teacher’s reason of using the most dominant element of teacher’s talk.

Abstract

This paper reports a teaching and learning practice in three big-sized English classes incorporating the learning goal set by the students and that by their institution, and three questions in relation to the teaching and learning practice were investigated: 1) What do the students perceive at a text-based teaching and learning?; 2) What problems do the students face at a text-based teaching and learning class?; and 3) What do the students learn at the text-based teaching and learning ?The subjects of this study were 208 first year students of a state engineering institute in Lampung, Sumatera, Indonesia, who were put in 3 different classes. The teaching and learning activities were based on academic texts selected by the students in a group of ten. In every meeting a group of the students who had prepared a two-page English academic text presented its title and key words to the class, whereas the other groups asked questions based on the title and key words which had to be answered by the group orally. In every meeting at the end of the class the students were asked to write a journal according to the research questions. The results showed that they perceived the teaching practice differently, they had some problems,but  they learnt some linguistic elements as well as skills, and  they realized that they still needed to improve their English skill and to improve their participation in speaking.

Abstract

Writing is not a simple task, even in the first language. Obviously, writing in the second language is more complicated. Teachers should find appropriate techniques to assist students to overcome their difficulties in learning writing. Feedback is one alternative that can be implemented in the classrooms. Teachers provide feedback to support students’ writing development and encourage their confidence as writers. Feedback plays a significant role in writing development. According to Ur (1996 : 242) feedback is information that is given to the learner about his or her performance of the learning task, usually with the objective of improving their performance. This article describes three research findings based on the classroom action research of feedback implementation in writing class. The research findings discussed in this article show that the feedback is able to help students to enhance their writing performance.

Abstract

English department students at Padang State University are both multilingual and heading into a multilingual world and workplaces. Prudent use can be made of their previous and on-going experience of language acquisition when teaching English. Four strategies are described. For grammar/speaking classes brief comparative analysis of  a problematic English sentence structure with other languages can be made.. For pronunciation classes, sounds where errors are frequently found can be taught by looking for any allophonic equivalent from another language available in the classroom. For vocabulary and translation classes the mis-match between lexical concepts in languages the students are familiar with can be exploited to help students deal with that concept in English. Student experience of multiple language-based identities can be used in the cross-cultural communication classroom can provide a stepping stone to interacting across different languages and cultures.
