Abstract

Today, the numbers of English speakers are geographically and culturally diverse. The discussion on which pronunciation model of English should be introduced to learners of English has become under discussion among English language practitioners. Should English teachers teach pronunciation aiming at near native accents or at intelligibility in which learners can understand different models of English? As a country where English is a foreign language and Non Native-English-Speaking Teachers (NNESTs) are vastly available, Indonesia has posed its uniqueness due to its diverse learners and teachers backgrounds. Under this circumstance, then, there has been a frequent question to whether NNESTs can help learners to develop their English pronunciation. This paper discusses English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) model as suggested by Jenkins (2000) in teaching English pronunciation that can be implemented in the Indonesian context. It suggests that what matters more to learners is improving their intelligibility in English pronunciation rather than aiming for near native accents. English teachers are encouraged to develop a pronunciation instruction that suits the learners needs and interests without discriminating any model of English. Finally, a conclusion is provided with my argument that ELF model will be a better model to be implemented in the teaching of pronunciation in the English classroom in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate student perceptions of Simon Says as an icebreaker activity in an English language classroom. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study involved ten students from Grade 11. A purposive sampling method was used to select participants. Data collection instruments included questionnaires administered before and after the implementation of Simon Says icebreaker activities, along with experimental instruction. Questionnaire results indicated that these icebreakers significantly enhanced student enthusiasm and interest in English language learning. Students reported completing the questionnaire accurately and comprehensively. These findings suggest that English language teachers incorporate Simon Says and similar interactive games into their classroom routines. These games can serve as effective icebreakers, fostering a relaxed and engaging learning environment and reducing student anxiety. This encourages greater student participation. This study has implications for both teachers and curriculum developers. Teachers can diversify their teaching methods, while curriculum developers can incorporate such games into teaching materials to enhance student engagement and motivation.

Abstract

Writing has been a very challenging skill for students especially for eight grade learners of one Islamic junior high school in Central Aceh. This research was conducted to see whether the picture and picture-learning model could increase the students’ capability in writing. To investigate it, the quantitative approach, i.e., experimental method was employed. The population of this study was four classes, totaling 124 students. By using random sampling, classes VIII1 and VIII3 consisting of 30 and 32 students, respectively, were selected as the sample of this research. To collect the data, both pretest and posttest were given to the students before and after applying the picture-learning model. The results showed that the learners performed better after the intervention for both groups; however, the experimental group made better improvement in their writing (post-test = 84; pre-test = 60). In addition, the t-test also displayed that t-test (3.603) was higher than t-table (3.0) indicating that Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected. The conclusion, therefore, was that the picture and picture-learning model increased the students’ writing ability.
