Abstract

This research describes ice-breaking (ice breaker) and the importance of ice-breaking in the teaching and learning process. This research is library research. The analysis shows that using ice-breaking requires preparation and planning, including materials, methods, and media. Ice-breaking usually can be used as warm-up activity at the beginning of learning. Ice-breaking must generate favorable impressions of students. Besides, the teacher must have strong impulses when delivering ice-breaking, must be sensitive to the classroom environment, adaptable to the student’s condition, and facilitate the students' needs. The teacher has the authority to vary or modify the game varieties of ice breaking while ensuring the duration needed. The ice-breaking is not only creating a joyful environment but also providing meaning and relevance to the subject material being presented.  Icebreaker activities can be an effective way to create a comfortable and interactive learning environment in the classroom. They break the ‘ice’ to create a relaxed and positive atmosphere, allow students to feel comfortable, interact with classmates, open their minds to a more effective learning process, and solve students' concentration, absorption, learning interests, attention, motivation even learning outcomes. Ice-breaking activities can be applied to all subjects and can be combined with learning methods or other game techniques. The teacher as a learning facilitator may not leave the learning principles including learning how to learn, how to think, how to do, and how to live together. For teachers, preparing ice breaking in learning is the same as upgrading teachers’ pedagogical, personal, social, and professional competencies.

Abstract

This study investigated the association between students' enthusiasm to learn and their English academic performance in the eighth grade at SMPN 1 Tarakan during the pandemic. This investigation employed a quantitative methodology based on the correlation method. A stratified random sampling procedure was used to choose the 54 eighth-graders from SMP Negeri 1 Tarakan sample.

The association between students' motivation for learning and their proficiency in English was examined using Pearson's product-moment correlation. The mean score of 59.50 out of 29.63% on the questionnaire indicated that the eighth graders of SMPN 1 Tarakan were not enthusiastic about learning despite the epidemic. During the pandemic, the English scores of eighth-graders were also low, with a mean score of 57.19, or approximately 66.67%. During the pandemic, students at SMPN 1 Tarakan exhibited a highly significant correlation between their English achievement and their motivation to learn, as indicated by this finding.

Abstract

At this time the use of English has become part of modern human communication habits. Almost all existing linguistic aspects also often switch in English as a variation of language use. Even so, the use and understanding of good and correct English is still very necessary to be taught to students so that they have a good understanding of the use of English. One way to practice English comprehension is through the use of English videos. Videos in English provide opportunities for students to understand more broadly how the language is used in everyday life. However, in fact there are still many students who still have difficulty understanding the meaning and use of English sentences when watching English videos. Therefore this study examines students' perceptions of difficulties in understanding the meaning and use of English when watching English videos. The research method used is qualitative through a descriptive approach. The informants in this study consisted of several students who attended English classes by watching English videos. Data obtained through learning observation and interviews. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusions. The results of the study showed that students experienced various difficulties when understanding words or sentences from the English videos they watched, such as the use of foreign vocabulary that they had not encountered before, fast dialogue which made it difficult for students to digest the intent of the video conversation, students experienced obstacles in constructing meaning. and descriptions of scenes making it difficult to understand the context of sentences, lack of understanding of students in connecting vocabulary into an ambiguous sentence, and limitations of students in exploring the storyline of the video shown. To overcome this difficulty problem, English teachers need to provide appropriate teaching solutions so that students can better understand the meaning of English video dialogue so that they can build skills in constructing good and correct student sentence patterns.

This article uses qualitative research techniques. The data were collected from classroom observations, interviews, and transcription. The transcriptions were interpreted and grouped using the theory of Rose (1998). The occurrences of fillers were analyzed by the idea of Clark and Tree (2002), and the causes and function of fillers were analyzed by the theory of Kharismawan (2017) and Duvall et al. (2014). The findings showed that: (1) The students produced lexical and non lexical fillers while converting the written language to spoken language.  (2) Fillers appear at the beginning, middle, and near or the end of the utterance.  (3) The findings showed that the students produced fillers as hesitation devices, empathizing devices, mitigating devices, editing terms devices, and time-creating devices. Besides, a word cannot be categorized as a filler if it stands or works as a conjunction in an utterance.  (4) Lastly, this research found that the filler causes were divided attention, infrequent words, and nervousness.
