Abstract

Salah satu permasalahan pendidikan yang dihadapi oleh bangsa Indonesia adalah rendahnya mutu pendidikan pada setiap jenjang dan satuan pendidikan, khususnya pendidikan dasar dan menengah. Berbagai usaha telah dilakukan untuk meningkatkan mutu pendidikan nasional, antara lain melalui berbagai pelatihan dan peningkatan kompetensi guru (namun hal ini belum menjangkau sampai di tingkat kota terkecil), pengadaan buku dan alat pelajaran, perbaikan sarana dan prasarana pendidikan, dan bahkan peningkatan mutu manajemen sekolah. Namun demikian, berbagai indicator mutu pendidikan belum menunjukkan peningkatan yang berarti. Sebagian sekolah, terutama di kota-kota menunjukkan peningkatan mutu pendidikan yang cukup menggembirakan, namun sebagian besar lainnya masih memprihatinkan. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut diperlukan pengembangan sekolah yang efektif otonomi dan inovatif.

Abstract

In this study, the writer used a quasi experimental nonequivalent-groups pretest-post test design. The subjects of this study were the eleventh grade students of Senior High School. The writer took two classes as the sample of this experiment. The experimental group was taught using mind mapping and another was taught using semi-controlled writing. Then, the writer gave a pre test, post test and even questionnaire to the two groups. The pre test was intended to measure the students’ descriptive writing ability in some criteria before the treatments. The treatments were given three times ninety minutes each. The writer used post test as one of the instruments to see the students’ descriptive writing achievement in some criteria and questionnaire to know the students’ response of two techniques used. After that, the writer evaluated the students’ pre and post test of the two groups by using the analytic scoring technique, ESL Composition Profile. Their means differences were analyzed using the t-test formula to see whether there is a different significant effect of students’ writing achievement in their content, organization, vocabulary, and language use criteria. Basing on the calculation of t-test, the writer found the t observation of both groups. The t observation of content, organization, vocabulary, and language use criteria of the two groups were 1.88, 1.7, 11.49, and 1.22 while the t-table of both was 1.671. In conclusion, the result of the calculation of the students’ test in both experimental and control group shows that mind mapping yields a significant effect of writing achievement in content, organization and vocabulary criteria and gets good response in teaching writing with enjoyable and interesting atmosphere.

Abstract

Nowadays, English has been used as the most important foreign language in Indonesia. Many schools have used it as their important subject to be taught to the students. The English teaching can cover 4 language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, all of them are important, especially listening. Listening is not an easy subject to master. It needs the teacher’s role in teaching that skill. In this study, the writer would like to know whether there is a significant difference between the listening achievement of learners taught by using structured jigsaw technique and unstructured group work technique, especially in answering the three types of questions. The writer took the data from St. Clara Junior High School and the population is the second grade students. The writer took VIIIB as the control group and VIIIC as the experimental group. The writer administered pretest before the treatment to see the level of the students’ listening ability. After that, she conducted three times treatment by using structured jigsaw technique in the experimental group and unstructured group work in the control group. The posttest was administered and then the writer analyzed the mean scores by using t-test. From the analysis of the pretest, the writer found out that those two groups had equal ability in listening achievement. From the posttest scores, the writer also found out that those two groups were not significantly different. It means that the null hypothesis which says “There is no significant difference in listening achievement between the second grade Junior High School students who are taught using jigsaw technique and those who are taught using unstructured group work” was accepted. Further analysis found that jigsaw technique could improve the students’ listening ability in answering main idea questions.

Abstract

Kinneavy (1971:23) states that “since pragmatics is viewed as the study of complete discourse, it does not include semantics as such or syntactic as such. These two constitute linguistics, and linguistic analysis is not discourse analysis, though, of course, it can contribute to the understanding of discourse, consequently, syntactic and semantics are beyond the borders of discourse study”. Cook (1990:12) also separates linguistics from discourse analysis. Linguistics is said to be without context or context-free. He further says that semantics is context-free. This paper is to argue that both sentence linguistics and semantics are context sensitive. From the point of view of language acquisition, the syntactic structures word meaning, sentence meaning and knowledge of the world that an informant later uses to produce language, are all based on context and are derived from context. Accordingly, sentence linguistics and semantics are context-sensitive. Key Words: pragmatics, linguistics semantics, context-sensitive

Abstract

This study focused on the washback effects of classroom tests administered in Junior High School in Indonesian EFL contexts. To obtain the expected data two sets of questionnaires were delivered to the teachers and the students of Junior High schools in Surabaya, Indonesia. Likert scales were used to measure the obtained data. The study revealed that both teachers and students tried hard to prepare classroom tests. Passing classroom tests seemed to be the priority rather than the learning objectives themselves. Exercises for classroom test were therefore mostly given to the students. The materials learned by the students were mostly those students believed or predicted to be the materials for the tests. To some extents thus classroom tests may have both negative as well as positive effects Key Words: Washback Effect, Classroom Tests, Necessary and Unnecessary Decisions.
