Abstract

This study aims at investigating the effectiveness of the Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS) method in teaching speaking skills to the tenth-grade students in one of the senior high schools in Bandung, and their attitudes after the implementation of this method in the classroom. The embedded mixed method design was applied to accomplish the two research questions. The quantitative data were gained from the students speaking pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire. Meanwhile, the qualitative data were taken from classroom observation field notes as the secondary data to capture the treatment process. 24 students in the experimental group and 23 students in the control group were randomly selected as the participant in this study. After seven meetings of the treatment, the data analysis showed that the speaking score of the experimental group that was treated by using language acquisition-based in TPRS was significantly higher than the control group that was treated by using language learning-based in non-TPRS at the .05 level of significance. The null hypothesis of this study was rejected. Since this study had dealt with the low achiever students that most of them were low motivated, TPRS instruction was appropriate to scaffold language in making them comprehensible and accessible. Moreover, the questionnaire data found that the behavioral aspect of students’ attitude on the use of TPRS method in teaching speaking skills was highly positive. TPRS has made the students appreciate more, feel not afraid, avoid anxiety, and have more confidence in speaking English.

Abstract

This paper analyzes a televised public service ad by Kemendikbud on their advice for the public to stay at home during the pandemic Covid-19 especially on the Eid day to stop the spread of the corona virus. The paper focuses on the four sign systems of the ad: photographs, written language, spoken language (narration), and moving images (McIlwain, 2007). Descriptive qualitative was employed in the paper to collect and analyze the data. This method was used because it provides an intensive, holistic description and analysis of a single entity. The analysis shows that the first-order and second-order signification by Barthes (1967) can be used in analyzing the four sign systems. Bold signs such as photographs, written and spoken language, and moving images in the ad that can be seen by viewers are denotations. Meanwhile, connotations represent the communication that occurs when signs meet with the user's emotions.

There are over 158 constant polarity tag questions in spoken English. The results concerning the form of the verb be and the subject it belongs to are mostly used in the tag question. The meanings of declarative constant polarity signify a higher use of "doubt" tags involving interlocutors in American English conversation. Declarative constant tag questions are interesting points to be researched on a wider scope by using more sorts of them in formal conversation.
