Abstract

The interference of the first language (Indonesian) in the use of English as a foreign language is a phenomenon of one’s failure in acquiring the language. The interference may occur on lexical, morphological and syntactical elements which cause by many factors. This paper discusses the factors causing Indonesian grammatical interferences on English use shown in the English students’ writings of the two universities in Padang, Indonesia.   As a whole, the main causes are linguistics and non-linguistics factors which contributed to any grammatical interference appeared in students’ writing concerning syntactical, morphological and lexical elements. Limited vocabulary and lack competence of English were the linguistics factors. The tendency to use such vocabularies caused  grammatical interferences since those vocabularies could not be appropriately used in the contexts of sentences. While the non-linguistic factor contributed to this phenomenon in terms of cultural internalization and social status as well as psychological drive.The influence of Indonesian cultures, such as the use of complicated and twisty sentences appeared on students’ writing instead of being direct to the point as in the English culture. A sort of motivation gained by students, that is intstrumental motivation, may also result interference.

Abstract

Internet has become an inseparable part of the life of most university students norvadays. They can access internet through cellular phone or wireless facility around campus area. Internet is a source of potential benefit in language classroorn provided that the availability of free teaching and leaming resources that can be used in Reading class. FL readers have a more limited opportunity to develop automaticity in Reading since classroom is the only meaningful place where they are exposed to reading. Automatic process in reading is the outcome of thousands of hours of meaningful input. It is something natural that most of FL readers are struggling and consider reading is difficult and also frustrating to most of them considering the amount of time they spend reading. It will be beneficial that teachers are able to explore free online reading resources as an interesting and accessible tool to provide input and eventually help students to read with better comprehension. This article will, therefore, discuss theoretical background on using on line teaching resources, how and what on line resources are available.

Abstract

Young learners are terms for children age 4-6 years old. Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL) mean to prepare them to join primary or secondary school. The purpose of TEYL improving students’ soft skills such as good manners, common sense, empathy, and the ability to be cooperative with the teacher and friends in target language. In this point, a good teacher should provide creative and consistent classroom activities in order to produce smart, independent and discipline students. There are few things that we need to consider in Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL); (1) is earlier really better? (2) Characteristic of young learners, (3) How children learn, and (4) Language learning environment. The biggest problem that teachers usually face are the characteristics of young learners such as loud, hyper, can’t sit still, too talkative, easily distractive, fun, social, curious, energetic and spontaneous. Smart young learners are easily bored if there is no challenge in the materials or the activities in the class are not fun enough for them. One of the best solutions to solve the problem as well as create smart, independent and discipline students that have been used in TEYL is managing classroom rules. The rules are (1) listen to the teacher, (2) sit down in your chair, (3) Speak English, and (4) be nice. Using classroom rules have been very useful in improving soft skills in TEYL.

Abstract

Multilingualism and multiculturalism- exists in many parts of the world today, including in Sawahlunto. In that city,  people come from different cultures and use different languages, namely: Javanese, Sundanese, Bataknese,  Minangkabaunese, and Acehnese. It cannot be denied  that in such a society,  people are constantly creating on and using multiple languages. In fact, multilingualism -and multiculturalism- has been a big issue in the world of language education, especially in English language teaching.  To teach English to the multilingual students, the English teachers must understand the connection between students’ languages, and their cultures. This will develop the teachers’ awareness of the social dimensions of language use which will be an important component in their English language teaching. This awareness will help them to use different social teaching strategies to approach the languages as mediating tools for teaching English as communication. In other words, the languages, then, are not exclusively objects of teaching but a means of communication and interaction. This paper is aimed to find out teachers’ social strategies to teach English to multilingual students in Sawahlunto. This is a descriptive research with a cross-sectional design. The data are collected through a questionnaire. The data analysis is done by using SPSS 22 version.

Abstract

The focus reported here is their selfreflection which unveils their cognition of teaching English. Twelve prospective teachers taking teaching practicum subject at five junior high schools in Padang were involved. They were required to write the results of their reflection after each teaching presentation in their journals. A focus group interview was then conducted to find out the reasons behind their self-evaluation and their view about the interconnectedness between what they had learned about teaching and what they experienced in the field. The results of the analysis of these two sets of data revealed that the prospective teachers' reflection was dominated by their difficulties dealing with classroom management. Thus, they did not really give sufficient attention to othe aspects of teaching of which they had strengths and weaknesses. In ihe interview it was found that they were aware oftheir strengths and weaknesses of other aspects of teaching, but they thought that their instructional plans were profoundly influenced by their classroom management. An essential conclusion to draw is that prospective teachers should be provided with theory, strategies, and tips with regards to classroom management.

Abstract

Teaching English as foreign language in universities today is demanded to have a paradigm shift, from past passive learning to active learning, to find better ways of engaging students in the learning process. However, many teachers feel a need for help in imagining what to do, in or out of class that will constitute a meaningful set learning experience. Students in universities belong to the category of adult learners. They need to be treated more gently and given more chance to learn independently. An appropriate delivery method offered to support the adult learners to learn is andragogy, instead of using the other one delivery method to support the young learners to learn, pedagogy.This study is to compare the andragogically and pedagogically orientated learning methods for English as a foreign language adults learners. The EducationalOrientationQuestionnaire (Christian, 1983) is used. Sixty adults at Speaking for Instructional Purposes classes in English Education Department Muria Kudus University are included in the study. The results revealthatthesubjects are more to have  orientation of andragogy than that of pedagogy. However, the wide range of scores suggested that they were not rigid in their orientations and tended to hold pedagogical tendency towards learning too.
