Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

In this study the researcher investigated the relative effects of different reading methods on the comprehension performance of the 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. Feedback suggested that oral reading was preferred specifically because it helps in memorizing words and texts, concentration, and practicing and pronouncing words for real world encounters. It is recommended that second language lecturers and students use all available reading methods in order to identify which method best serves their study objectives.
