Abstract

This study is a descriptive study investigating learners’ language learning strategies (LLS) in learning speaking and the different strategies used by the high and low achievers of the class. The study used a descriptive method. Since the data for the study are both in the form of words and numbers, a mixed method design has been employed. To collect the data, a modified questionnaire of SILL, score recording, and interviews are used. The findings show that compensation strategies (M=3,48) are the most frequently used strategies employed by all learners. Meanwhile differences in the strategies used by the high and low achievers in speaking are found in terms of the frequency of use, strategy category, and varieties of strategy.  Keywords:    Language learning strategy, speaking, exemplary class, high achiever, low achiever

The study employed case study approachand the data were collected through observation, interview, written documents, and dependent t-test to gain relevant data.The research findings of this study discover six benefits of STAD technique, as follows: (1) engaging students in reading activity; (2) increasing students’ motivation to practice actively in the learning process; (3) helping students to solve their problems in comprehending the texts; (4) developing students’ social skill; (5) creating enjoyable learning atmosphere; and (6) enhancing students’ reading comprehension skills. In addition, the students’ responses toward the implementation of STAD technique in teaching reading were positive. Thus, it is recommended that STAD technique be implemented in teaching reading comprehension. Keywords:       Cooperative Learning, reading comprehension, STAD technique

This research used a mixed method between pre-experimental design particularly one group pretest-posttest design and questionnaire and interview techniques. The results indicate that there is a significant improvement in students’ writing ability, as can be seen from the results of the t-test, in that the  tobt is higher than the tcrit (7.821 2.021) at the level significance 0.05 (two-tailed). Furthermore, the results of questionnaires show that most students (86.1%) gave positive responses toward the use of mind mapping technique in writing Descriptive text. Finally, the results of interviews suggest that the students loved this technique because it successfully motivated them to write Descriptive texts in an enjoyable way,  to improve their writing Descriptive texts, to increase vocabulary and creativity, to arrange sentences and organize  ideas.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine which of the two pre-reading strategies, contextual redefinition or word list, is more effective for EFL learners’ reading comprehension. In addition, it was aimed at investigating students’ responses to the use of both strategies. The research design used in this study was counterbalanced. Two intact classes at eight-graders in a junior high school in Bandung were chosen based on the similarity of pre-test mean score. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used in the process of collecting the data. The quantitative data were obtained from the post-tests. Moreover, qualitative data were gained from questionnaires and interview. The results of the study revealed that contextual redefinition was more effective to be used than word list as pre-reading strategy in reading comprehension. It can be seen from the mean score of the first and the second post-test. The mean score of the students who received contextual redefinition strategy outperformed the mean score of the students who experienced word list strategy (72.1361.47 and 76.5371.23). Moreover, the analysis showed that more than half students in group A (56%) and group B (55%) liked to use contextual redefinition better. This was due to the consideration that contextual redefinition could enhance new vocabularies, stimulate language schema, stimulate students’ interest to the words that will be studied, and help the students to decode the difficult terms. Although the findings revealed that students preferred to use contextual redefinition, it is interesting to note that significant number of students also acknowledge the importance of the use of word list as pre-reading strategy. In fact, the students in group A (44%) and group B (45%) argued that the use of word list as pre-reading strategy was easier than contextual redefinition. On the basis of the findings, it is recommended that teachers should benefit from a variety of pre-reading strategies, and one of the alternative pre-reading strategies in helping EFL learners’ reading comprehension is contextual redefinition. Keywords:Contextual Redefinition, Word List, EFL Learners, and Reading Comprehension
