Yet the teachers are able to interpret and implement the objectives in the syllabus into learning activities well and create the appropriate situation in the classroom.

Abstract

Higher Order Thinking as one of the main agendas in the Curriculum 2013 introduces several learning approaches – one of which is scientific approach. However, so far, the majority of English teachers in Indonesia still face some challenges due to their insufficient knowledge and experience in implementing this approach. This paper presents a research report on strategies of promoting higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in EFL young adolescents’ classroom through scientific approach. It aimed to investigate how HOTS was promoted in the EFL classroom, identify benefits gained by the teacher and the students from the implemented approach, and find out teacher’s challenges and solutions from the teaching practice. This study employed a case study involving a class of seventh grade students as research participants. To collect data, three instruments were used such as classroom observation, interview with the teacher and the students, and document analysis. The findings revealed that scientific approach with its components (observing, questioning, associating, exploring, and communicating) may promote students’ HOTS as seen from their enthusiasm and active participation in the classroom. The students also focused more on showing ideas, arguments, and views toward the questions from other groups as proved by their statements in the interview claiming that they were trained to do analysis, evaluation, and creation through learning activities. Meanwhile, the teacher stated that her challenges in teaching dealt with her limited experience and knowledge to implement this approach. To overcome them, she committed to join professional development programs and improve her linguistic skills.   Keywords:  EFL Classroom, Higher Order Thinking Skills, Scientific Approach, The Curriculum 2013, Young Adolescents

Furthermore, the language use as the interaction was called interpersonal meaning (mood and residue). Moreover, the focus of the study was on identifying the use of interpersonal meaning (mood and residue) as the engagement between the students and their stories in writing contexts and the realization of mood types which cover statements, offers, questions, and commands in narrative texts. Therefore, the study was aimed at figuring out (1) the realization of interpersonal meaning through mood and residue and (2) the most dominant mood types realized on the second-grade students’ narrative texts. In this study, descriptive qualitative method was employed to analyze and interpret the data by using words. The findings showed that (1) the use of mood and residue was identified as the realization of interpersonal meaning which completed the language features of narrative texts and (2) the most dominant mood type was statements which the students used to express and share their feeling in order to create the engagement between them and their story, the stories and the readers. In brief, the use of language in creating the interaction in narrative texts could be expressed by exploring interpersonal meaning (mood and residue) and choosing mood types that appropriate to share the feeling. Thus, this study provided some suggestions for the teachers/lecturers and the students which they should explore the use of language to interact in writing context by applying interpersonal meaning which covered mood types to get involved and engaged in the story. Keywords: Interpersonal meaning, mood, residue, second grade, narrative texts
