TELL - US JOURNAL Vol 1, No 1 (2015): March 2015
Publisher : Universitas PGRI Sumatera Barat

This study aims to improve students' understanding of linguistics by using a jigsaw strategy. It is constituted as a linguistic study about language in overall. Language is a communication tool for a person which has several systems. Thus, the language itself is important to be learned and understood, especially for the students of the language. Another reason is the existence of several phenomena that researchers have encountered in the classroom in English language courses of STKIP PGRI SUMBAR. The study of language that is learned is English or English linguistic. First, English is a foreign language which is not easy to be learned. The second, the material on this language is a complete knowledge that cannot be separated from one another. Meanwhile, the time provided only 2.5 hours per week. Students are expected to understand the concept of language, how to communicate, sounds, words, meanings and applications. Third problem is learning strategies used by lecturers. Lecturer asks students to learn in groups. Each group will present a different material each week. Then the others respond, causing discussion. This strategy is less effective against the student's understanding. Discussion only occurs for students who had studied. Most of them are just silent. Likewise, group presentations, it will dominate only one or two students. The others are just as followers. So in this study the researcher wants to apply the jigsaw to solve the above problems.Type of research is a Classroom Action Research. It would increase the students' understandings of linguistic of STKIP PGRI SUMBAR. Participants that would be used were the student of English at STKIP PGRI SUMBAR who were taking the course Introduction to Linguistics. The data were collected through observation would also be assisted by collaborator. The instruments to be used are notes, interviews, and tests. The data is analysed by classifying based on the characteristics. Then, the data would be interpreted to see whether the jigsaw can increase students' understanding of linguistics or not.

TELL - US JOURNAL Vol 1, No 1 (2015): March 2015
Publisher : Universitas PGRI Sumatera Barat

This paper discussed about using brochures in teaching vocabulary to improve students’ vocabulary mastery in English for Hotel. Many problem faced by students in teaching and learning process, especially in mastering vocabulary about hotel. For instance, they still did mistakes not only in identifying the vocabulary about hotel in performing but also in written test. While, in outside when they did casual job in hotel they also faced crucial problems about their performance. They got difficult in label stuff of hotel and sometimes they do mistakes in doing work because they did not know the meaning of vocabularies of hotel. There are two potential causes of the condition; they are students and the lesson material. First from the student’s side, it can be caused of lack of motivation in learning English. They are still not realized that EFH is very important for their major. They will engage with English in their work situation. The second problem is about material. We still find a number of teachers used General English book in teaching EFH. Using authentic material in teaching and learning can be used to improve student’s vocabulary mastery in EFH. Brochure is one of authentic material and it also a kind of visual media aids that can help teacher and students in improving students’ vocabulary mastery in English for Hotel.

This research was based on the phenomenon happened in one of the Pilot International Standard Schools (RSBI) in Padang in which most of the students’ score at grade VIII could not fulfill the minimum standard of achievement (KKM) in English semester test designed by the Central government in 2010/2011 academic year. Therefore, this research was aimed at analyzing whether the test designed by the Central government contributes to the students’ failure or not. However, the researcher did not only analyze the test designed by the Central Government but also analyse the tests designed by the teachers. The researcher did qualitative item analysis which focused on analyzing the format of the test items (stem, options and distractors), content validity and face validity. This research was conducted based on descriptive method and there were two sources of data of this research: the document of English tests and the respondents of interview. The result of this research is the test designed by the Central Government in 2010/2011 academic year is the better one, because almost all the items could fulfill all the criteria in designing multiple-choice test. Meanwhile, the Mid-test designed by the teachers in 2010/2011 academic year indicated as the poor one. There are some criteria that could not be fulfilled by all the tests. They are; the curriculum demand, the relevance between the assessment plan/blue-print with the items, writing the stem and many items are not paraphrased. Therefore, it can be interpreted that the teachers still do not have enough competence in designing the test which based on National standard and the government also, because the researcher still found the test items designed by the central government that could not fulfill the criteria in writing a good multiple-choice test.
