Abstract

Reading comprehension is important skill to acquire information and knowledge from any kind sources. Difficulties in reading comprehension for students in learning English as EFL/ESL has forced teacher to apply appropriate principles and strategies. One strategy that believed can help to solve the problem in reading comprehension is assessment. Four Roles Model can be adapted for assessment and used as a framework to address the complex nature of reading comprehension difficulties by considering the reader as: (a) a code-breaker, (b) a text-participator, (c) a text-user, and (d) a text-analyser. Breaking the code emphasised decoding of the words, and encoding of information, understanding the conventions of written, spoken, and visual multimodal texts by recognising and using the surface features of print. There are two kinds table of assessment. Table 1 presents a flexible reading comprehension assessment matrix showing the four roles of the reader with the before, during and after reading phases. Table 2 shows the elements within the matrix can be adjusted to reflect appropriate items suited for different stages of reading development or with a particular focus in mind.

Abstract

A combination of presentation and discussion as an instruction method is excellent per se. However if it is implemented in a classroom unceasingly without any other instruction variations, it might cause discouragement of students in their learning. To vary, there are a lot of instruction methods available to improve instruction as well as students’ participation and understanding, one of which is formative quiz. A formative quiz is an informal test given to students as an assessment conducted continuously aimed at adjusting instructional practices in order to improve students’ learning. In implementing formative quizzes as an instruction method, an investigation is conducted using classroom action research design operating two cycles. The first cycle is to measure the lecturer’s instruction, and the second cycle is to measure the students’ participation and understanding. Conclusively it is found out that formative quizzes have improved lecturer’s instruction, students’ participation and understanding in academic writing course.

Abstract

After being explained about substitution by one of my lecturers, professor Sumarlam, I am interested in investigating the substitution on a famous novel. I choose “Ayat Ayat Cinta” a novel written by Habiburrahman Saerozi. It is very famous in Indonesia and it is not only interesting to read but also it gives us education and the way to love someone seen from Moslem side.  There are so many some moral values given there. The novel tells us about true love, honesty, pride, and struggle. The data which I analyzed was only in the sub title “Gadis Mesir Itu Bernama Maria”. The aim of this study is to describe the substitution used by the great writer. I am definitely sure that it will give good contribution on understanding about substitution. The ground theory which I use is from (Sudaryanto, 1993:15). He stated that there were four kinds of substitution, such as: equal quality substitution, definite readdressing substitution, nominal predicative substitution, pronominal substitution. I analyzed the data by describing the substitution used based on substitution theory. There are four findings which I can get after investigating the substitution used in the novel, namely: 1) there is no nominal predicative substitutions but the pronominal substitution is mostly used, 2) one word can substitute two words, 3) the writer differs the calling between friends and teachers to show respect, 4) aku (I) as subject sometimes are not fully written in Indonesian.
