Abstract

English, which is still considered a foreign language in Indonesia, has an impact on the teaching and learning process that is not optimal. This refers to the low proficiency in English, especially those of the Akademi Maritim Nusantara (AMN) Cilacap students. Good reading skills are one of the skills that AMN Cilacap students must possess. This is in line with the mission of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia which makes reading and writing literacy the first position of the 6 (six) literacy abilities that must be possessed. The measurement of reading ability can be done in various ways. This study aims to see what methods are used by English language lecturers in assessing the reading ability of AMN Cilacap students. Also, the researcher wanted to see what methods the lecturer used most often. Researchers conducted a small survey of 2 (two) lecturers who taught English courses from 2 (two) different study programs, namely Marine Engineering and Port Management. Researchers distributed 2 (two) kinds of questionnaires which were then supported by interviews with each lecturer. The results show that there are 6 (six) methods used by the two lecturers in assessing reading skills. The Perceptive Task method is the method most often used. Even so, in choosing the right assessment method, the lecturer must also understand the conditions and level of understanding possessed by students.

Abstract

English, among thousands of languages, is the most widespread and spoken by people around the world. Students in Indonesia, in particular, oftentimes measure their English mastery by evaluating to what extent their speaking fluency. It, thus, becomes challenging since they are not merely called for producing words but are required to apply the appropriate way of delivering the messages as well. With that in mind, this article aimed at figuring out the common challenges, which in turn lead to students’ speaking disfluency. Moreover, to unearth the answer to the objectives, this study applied qualitative library research which primarily focused on analyzing the secondary data such as online books, and articles as the sources. Finally, the challenges found encountered by the students to get fluency were affected by eight factors such as; Vocabulary, Grammar, Anxiety, Lack of Motivation, Learning Environment, Teachers’ Teaching Strategies, Self-Confidence, and Age. Besides, this article also proposed alternative solutions for both teachers and students in overcoming the issues. In a nutshell, the researcher hopes that this paper would benefit the upcoming researchers to be cited as an additional reference in English studies, and for teachers to be a guide to promote students’ speaking fluency.

Abstract

The use of karaoke songs as an instrument to learn English pronunciation is considered to be an enjoyable learning method especially to enhance English as Foreign Language (EFL) students' pronunciation skills. In discourse activities, unclear pronunciation might affect the interpretation among peers which might lead to misunderstanding or miscommunication. Because the world is becoming more global, EFL college students as future generations will need to improve their English pronunciation to participate in future international meetings. As Smith (2003) stated, native speakers, tended to be concerned about pronunciation when having conversations with non-native speakers. To minimize misinterpretation, English pronunciation should be given higher attention in listening and speaking instruction. This study surveyed 30 EFL students' experience of learning pronunciation by utilizing a karaoke app, more specifically after listening to an English song and singing via 'Smule-Sing!' karaoke app. This study explained that the listening and singing activities through 'Smule-Sing!' karaoke app assisted EFL learners to produce clear pronunciation devices including word stress, rhythm, intonation, and sounds. However, there are some limitations regarding melody rate and unfamiliarity with the sounds which need to have further research. This study implies the English language and pedagogy to promote and facilitate autonomous learning strategy in EFL students' learning process.
