Data collection techniques using question instruments test essay writing skills To test the pretest hypothesis in this study used the t test, from the results of the t test obtained t count = -0.3 <t table = 2.00. Whereas for testing the posttest hypothesis from the results of the t test it is obtained t count = 6.06> t table = 2.00, it can be concluded that there is a significant effect between the posttest value of the control class and the experimental class.

<![CDATA[In this study the researcher investigated the relative effects of different reading methods on the comprehension performance of Balikpapan Foreign Language Academy EFL Third Semester students. The scores of participants who read three comparable passages in three ways (oral, silent and subvocalizing) were compared. Results revealed a significant difference between oral reading and subvocalization, and between oral reading and silent reading. Oral reading had the greatest effect on comprehension performance among the three reading methods examined. All groups reported that oral reading was the most preferred reading method with the majority of respondents feeling the style best supported comprehension.

<![CDATA[This paper aimed to review small talk technique proposed by Hunter (2012) and to propose information gap. Small talk is another way of corrective feedback. The teacher gives feedback after the activity is done by giving them written feedback/worksheet. The feedback is given to develop the students’ accuracy and speaking complexity ability. However, the question on how accurate the students, whether students are expected to be native-like or not, emerges. In EFL context, it is hard to make the students to be native-like since English is foreign language for them. The naturalness of environment does not give language input for them. Thus, students can speak fluently is better than speak accurately in EFL context. As long as, the students can deliver the message, it is enough for them because the purpose of communication is to deliver the missing information between speakers. The information gap technique is the way to develop the students’ fluency. This technique provides the real communication which is delivering the missing information. In conclusion, students should speak fluently in EFL context.]]>

<![CDATA[The students’ first language (Sundanese) often interferes with English pronunciation. For example, the students get difficulties to distinguish in pronouncing certain sounds of vowels such as between /e/ in ‘beg’ and /æ/ in ‘bag’, /ei/ in ‘wait’ and /e/ in ‘wet’. Sometimes, the students will be able to identify specific problem sounds and sometimes they will not. Another challenge resulting from differences in the first language is the inability to hear certain English sounds that the students’ native language does not contain. Therefore, the study was aimed at finding out the main factors that cause the students’ English pronunciation errors and identifying the types of the students’ English pronunciation errors. In acquiring the data, the research used descriptive method. The data needed are gained through a sample consisting 10 of 32 students. The sample was randomly selected. The students were given ten items of questionnaire asking for their responses in line with the causes of their English pronunciation errors. Then, the students’ English pronunciation errors were found from the analysis of the reading material that had been read by the students. In relation to the data gained, the data findings showed that the main factors that caused the students’ English pronunciation errors were coming from internal factors (lack of practice, lack of self-confidence, and lack of exposure) and from the external factors (the differences in pronunciation between the students’ first language (Sundanese) and their target language (English) and the differences between what the correct pronunciation that should be pronounced and its writing actually). After the investigation, the types of English pronunciation errors made by the students in vowels sound were: long and short vowels, diphthongs, and triphthongs. It was caused by the inability to hear certain English sounds that the students’ native language does not contain.]]>

One of surah in Quran is surah Luqman, which consists of many advices of a man whose name is Luqman. It is so special because there are educational aspects which can be learned from this surah. Luqman in delivering his advices is not by the way of saying in a harsh manner, but by the way of full of affection, which is shown in his hearty calling to his son by the word bunayya (my son). In educating be desirable that must be based on or surrounded by the affection feeling to the students. This research tends to be descriptive qualitative research since it does not deal with number at all, which describes about semantics aspects and the message involvement used in the English translation of surah Luqman done by Taqqi-ud-Din and Muhsin Khan.

Before doing those four steps, the researcher did reconnaissance step by observing the class situation and interviewing the class teacher and the students to know the problems. After knowing the problems, the researcher started to do the four steps of teaching they were planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. The findings of this result showed that teaching reading comprehension using collaborative strategic reading improved the students` reading comprehension skill. In the first cycle the result was not satisfactory. The students were still passive in class because they did not understand about the method and many of them still found difficulty in understanding the texts. Their mean score of the first cycle was under the MMC. The criterion of success is when students give good response to this method, and also get the mean score that reach the MMC.
