Abstract

This paper discusses one of the ways to improve students‘ listening ability. Listening subject provides students with the materials of oral communication by English native speakers that mostly focuses on language expressions. It needs the learners to have listening practice a lot, inside and outside the classroom. Actually in teaching listening many activities can be done and many media can be used to provide students with listening activities in order to improve their listening abilities. One of the students‘ favorite activities is watching English Films. By watching English Films students are introduced to the real context of language and a wide range of vocabulary. After watching English Films students are assigned to make the English Films report. Since many people like watching English Films, assigning students to watch the English Films and make the report of what they have watched is expected to be more enjoyable. However they need to understand the English Films itself before they make their reports. They may watch the English Films twice or even more than twice to understand it, before they are able to make and present the English Films reports in the class. In these activities, the students have to watch and listen to the words, expressions, and sentences said by the characters. There are many advantages of these activities. By watching English Filmss students can learn the correct pronunciation, useful expressions from native speakers. Beside those activities, the students are also asked to write a synopsis of the English Films, find the meaning of useful expressions, understand the moral lesson of the English Filmss and present their own reports.

Setelah menganalisis data, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa jenis campur kode yang paling dominan adalah Penyisipan dengan prosentase 52,4%, kemudian alternesi dengan prosentase 28,6% dan yang terakhir adalah leksikalisasi kongruen dengan prosentase 19%. Alasan jenis campur kode yang paling dominan pada akun tiktok yang dipilih adalah penyisipan karena bahasa Indonesia adalah bahasa ibu pemilik akun tiktok sehingga ketika mereka berbicara menggunakan campur kode mereka hanya memasukkan beberapa bahasa lain ke dalam kalimat, agar terlihat bergengsi karena pencampuran bahasa Inggris ketika seseorang berbicara bahasa Indonesia terlihat lebih keren dan menarik perhatian orang lain.

Abstract

Community Language Learning disebut juga Counseling Learning, adalah salah satu contoh penerapan konsep psikoterapi dalam pengajaran bahasa. Konselor menjelaskan aktivitas apa yang diharapkan dan memberi waktu pada bimbingan untuk merefleksikan dirinya mengenai pengalamannya selama ini. Metode pengajaran bahasa menekankan pentingnya bentuk-bentuk bahasa, arti atau makna bahasa. Pengajaran bahasa dilakukan secara pendekatan yang disebut pendekatan humanistic. Pendekatan Humanistik dalam Pengajaran Bahasa melibatkan orang secara utuh, bukan sekedar sebagai sesuatu yang intelektual semata – mata. Ada beberapa hubungan yang diklasifikasikan berdasarkan faktor sosial yang mempengaruhi proses pembelajaran bahasa, mereka adalah rumah, komunitas, pekerjaan, sekolah, pertemuan agama, radio/televise, dan hal-hal bacaan.Tujuan pembelajaran bahasa adalah belajar bagaimana cara menggunakan bahasa untuk berkomunikasi. Komunitas sangat penting untuk pembelajaran dan pemeliharaan suatu bahasa. Bahasa yang menjadi target pembelajaran didalam kelas sangat berbeda dari cara belajar secara alami diluar kelas/ruangan. Kemungkinan peserta belajar bahasa tidak terlibat didalam kegiatan sosial dimana bahasa tersebut dipelajaridan digunakan. Bahasa yang dipelajari sebagai bahasa kedua; para pelajar benar – benar memanfaatkan bahasa dalam suasana dialam terbuka. Penggunaan bahasa dialam terbuka adalah salah satu faktor yang terpenting dalam penggunaan bahasa yang kita pelajari dalam komunikasi. Hasil yang dicapai sangat baik atau paling tidak memberikan harapan yang cerah dimasa depan.
