Abstract

Teacher’s creativity is needed in developing the teaching materials for reading comprehension. This assumption is concluded based on a study that revealed that most students and teacher candidates of English are having serious in both constructing and providing answers to inferential and analytical questions. This article discusses the selection and the exploitation of suitable narrative literary materials for teaching reading comprehension. This paper begins with the discussion of the advantages of using narrative literary texts in teaching reading comprehension. It is followed by a short description on how literary texts can be exploited by constructing closed and open questions based on Barrett’s taxonomy of reading comprehension levels. However, as teachers of English it is essential that the communicative aspects of language learning should be kept in focus as individual answers may arise.

Abstract

Listening is a language skill that assists the students to comprehend spoken language. However, listening is often neglected at schools in Indonesia due to the system of school curriculum in which listening to oral English is the skill least taught at school. As a result, listening becomes a difficult language skill for the students, especially vocational school students. There are many factors that students have to cope with in order to comprehend spoken English. To achieve a certain level of listening comprehension, students have to master micro and macro skills as mentioned in Brown’s taxonomy in listening comprehension. This study proved that there were four major factors that hindered students’ ability in listening comprehension: sounds, vocabulary, grammatical awareness and pragmatic differences. It was concluded that the main cause of the students’ inability to comprehend spoken language was micro skills, which happened to the students at low level, especially recognition of word sounds. Accordingly, micro skills should be introduced to enrich students’ knowledge of language.

Abstract

In the last few decades, there have been a lot of undesirable changes in Bahasa Indonesia. The undesirable changes occur through coining new words, borrowing words from other languages, especially English, blending Bahasa Indonesia words and acronymizing words. Bahasa Indonesia users seem to exercise their complete freedom in using language. There is no control in coining words, borrowing words, blending words, and acronymizing words. The loss of control that leads to free will and right to use Bahasa Indonesia has caused Bahasa Indonesia chaos. If the free will and free right are not curbed, there will certainly be greater chaos. System approach teaches that Bahasa Indonesia serves the function as an official language and a national language. This function has to be maintained and preserved. If individuals belonging to Bangsa Indonesia continue to exercise their free will and free right in using Bahasa Indonesia, it can be predicted that Bahasa Indonesia will change from Indonesian Identity to British Identity
