Abstract

Writing is an ability to be able to express their opinions through an article. Writing models have many forms and kinds. Descriptive text is one of them. Descriptive text is text whose content aims to explain a thing, whether it's about a person, an object or a certain condition whose characteristics need to be explained. Researchers see that problems emerge among students in writing descriptive texts. This problem is seen from the ability of students who are still considered lacking in describing a matter in descriptive text. From there researchers moved to conduct research using qualitative research methods to see and examine the problems that occur and strive to resolve existing problems. And from the results of research that researchers have done, researchers found several factors classified through the analysis model, namely related to students' problems in seeing details of a matter, lack of vocabulary used, to the lack of knowledge about grammar related to adjective order. The researcher concludes that this problem is a problem that needs and is worth studying. It aims to develop a newer educational model for later research with this research which is used as a reference and or reference for future researchers.

Abstract

This study discusses the emerged language teaching methodologies practiced in Engineering Fields. There are many methods applied in teaching language. However, the needs of technical fields in English learning, especially for workforce, academic and social demand, seemed to have appropriate treatment. Career choice has given a great impact influencing the study of English language. In addition, there are specific needs in the engineering workplace that are inevitably used by engineers to correspond with their colleagues or customers. This situation leads to some thought in English for specific purpose practices. Recently, there are two teaching methodologies adjusted for the needs of technical school students that are being studied. First, Corpus linguistics: the lexical approach has been mostly practiced before. Innovated by data-driven corpus, this methodology arises as to the new common method applied in the engineering area. Second, Dialogic Pedagogy: the thought of dialogism is grounded by the sociocultural theory that considers learning as a social act. Social engagement is believed in improving one’s ability to be a decider and problem solver. Through dialogic pedagogies, students learn to eliminate some problems related to language barriers, such as the anxiety to speak English and apprehensiveness in making mistakes.
