Abstract

Indonesian Economic Development has become a gate to Bali and Lombok for international visitors. Recently, the Lombok tourism development has established a refinement after facing serial earthquakes. In the statistic for the tourism year 2016, there were 3.1 million tourists coming to Lombok. In addition, 3.8 million people were targeted to come to Lombok in the year 2020. In other words, Lombok promotes the highest contribution to the national government economy. Because of these issues, the vocational high schools which have tourism study programs should lead their students in foreign language communication, English. Teaching English for a specific purpose needs a precise instructional model because ELT teachers apply the ELT model for different objectives. Therefore, learners study English for different purposes. For vocational high school students, they learn English to help them to communicate in the workplace. Because of this, they are directed to have communicative competence. In senior or junior high schools, scientific-based instruction has been applied to help students learn English and even other subjects. This instruction is considered as a solution for them to have not only linguistic competencies but also communicative skills. Therefore, this study will be aimed at developing an instructional model for vocational high school students in tourism zones. This study applied the procedural research and development (R&D) design. The R&D design follows the Borg & Gall and David design, which consists of pre-development and development stages. The product of this study was an instructional model, namely the tourism-based instructional (TBI) model for vocational high school students in the tourism zones.

Abstract

Speaking skills are nowadays more promising skills economically to be learnt. The importance of mastering speaking skills shows that teachers should find a good solution to encourage their students to practice speaking much more. One of the learning models applied by teachers is suggestopedia-based language learning (SBLL) activities. Therefore, this study investigated the effectiveness of suggestopedia-based language learning to enhance students’ speaking skills viewed from teachers’ educational backgrounds at middle schools. To achieve the research goal, researchers employed experimental study using an equivalent pre-test and post-test control group design. The samples of this study were 75 students at middle schools, and they were divided into two classes. 33 students were involved as the experimental class subjected to the SBLL activities. 32 students were invited as the control classes, which was taught using the existing instructional activities (eclectic learning principles). The two groups were distributed speaking tests in the pre-test and post-test sessions. The variable of teachers’ educational background is assumed as helping variable that gives an effect on students’ speaking ability. The criteria used in this case are Very High (Educational Doctor) High (Educational Master), Moderate (Educational Bachelor), and Low (Non-educational Bachelor). The research findings of this study informed that the implementation of the SBLL has positive effects on speaking skills at middle schools. Furthermore, there is interaction between teachers’ educational background and the use of the SBLL in improving students’ speaking skills at middle schools. Therefore, this study can be concluded that the use of the SBLL was able to enhance students’ speaking skills viewed from teachers’ educational backgrounds at the middle schools.

Abstract

The deep consideration in teaching vocabulary is promosing a deep level of processing that can involve either long-term or short-term memory. This study was aimed at investigating the use of total physical response in the teaching of vocabulary integrated with meaningful classroom interaction. To attain the research aim, this study employed classroom action research. The steps of classroom action consisted of Planning, Acting, Evaluating and Reflecting. In the planning phase, researchers prepared lesson plans in line with students’ vocabulary problems and mastery. The students’ vocabulary problems were determined on how their solutions were before applying it in the class. The phase of the Acting is the session of applying total physical response as learning activities to improve students’ vocabulary. The acting activities should be done in accordance with the previous plan prepared. The last but not least is evaluating and reflecting. It referred to the evaluation process since researchers applied the learning strategies in the class. The upcoming process is then reflection, and it is emphasized on whether the learning plans are on the track. This study was carried out in middle schools. The sample was chosen by using purposive sampling technique. 37 students in the eleventh-grade class were involved in this study. The successful criteria were enacted in 75, and the indicators covered expanding word knowledge, adding specific words, word-learning strategies, and word-play activities. Based on the analysis result, students were able to conduct various learning activities to improve wide and extensive independent reading activities to expand their word acquisition and knowledge; students were able to perform meaningful strategies relating to specific words to improve their comprehension of texts containing those words; students were able to perform word-play activities to improve learning atmospheres in the class. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of total physical response was able to improve students’ vocabulary mastery in integration with meaningful classroom interaction. The implementation of this strategy with paying attention to classroom interaction is strongly recommended to be applied for other language elements.

Abstract

Speaking and listening are language skills that are supporting each other. Students who have good speaking competence will have good listening skills as well. Unfortunately, students who have good listening skills do not indicate that they have good speaking skills. To help students in improving speaking and listening, this study applied team games-based language learning (TG-BLL) model. This model was designed with appropriate learning materials and activities, and English experts validated the quality of learning materials. Therefore, this current study was aimed at investigating the use of the TG-BLL model to improve students’ speaking and listening skills viewed from their creativity at secondary schools at Algeria. To attain the research goal, this study employed quasi experimental research with using pre-test post-test control group design. 69 students were involved in this study as research samples. The samples were divided into two groups which are experimental and control groups. The samples were selected using cluster random sampling. The variable of creativity in this study was pointed as a helping variable to see whether the level of students’ creativity come to affect students’ speaking and listening skills. To see the significant effect of team games-based language learning on speaking and listening skills, the researcher applied t-test statistical analysis. Meanwhile, ANOVA statistical analysis was applied to see the interaction between the TG-BLL model and students’ creativity level on speaking and listening skills at the secondary level. The result showed that the TG-BLL model had good effect on speaking and listening skills in the experimental group. It was proven that the score of the t-test was higher than t-table with 0.05 significant level. Moreover, there was good interaction between the GBLL model and students’ creativity level to affect students’ speaking and listening skills at secondary schools. The implementation of the TG-BLL model was useful in improving students’ pronunciation, grammar, and knowledge of how sounds get reduced.

Abstract

Various pictures can be utilized as learning media to facilitate language learners to learn vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and speaking skills. In the teaching of speaking, serial pictures can be designed to promote students to speak what the pictures illustrate. Therefore, speaking skills become crucial part in learning the target language. In  learning English where learners have limited sources to access real English communication with native or non-native English speakers, speaking materials become essential roles in developing learners’ speaking skills. Unfortunately, most of English Foreign Learners (EFL) oftenly confused to practice their English speaking skill because of  the the laerners are afraid to start the conversation or express their idea in English. Dealing with this issue, this study is aimed at developing the prototype of learning materials in the teaching of speaking skills in high school level. This study is categorized as R&D design (Research & Development). The data consisted of two kinds, quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative data are collected using questionnaire and speaking tests. Meanwhile, qualitative data are gained using interview sheets. Then, the quantitative data were analyzed using statistical analysis, while the qualitative data were elaborated in qualitative ways. The process of the qualitative ways consisted of three main analyses, namely condensation data, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Based on the result of analysis, this study showed that most of the laerners are afraid to making mistakes in speaking English. It was affected by some difficulties like their pronunciation, vocabulary mastery also grammar. For further studies, speaking practices are needed more in learning English speaking to train them to use the language to communicate.
