Abstract

Making improvements of the speech feature is possible to do because pronunciation is teachable. Some experts in pronunciation teaching have suggested more comprehensive and contemporary teaching methods and techniques. In narrower context to English Study Program some seemingly cases are found in depicting the condition of how the last semester students who attend thesis seminar are tend to have difficulty in their Pronunciation. Many of them are still struggling in articulating the correct English pronunciation. The problematic speech features are targeted to the segmental part, such as the accuracy of vowel sounds production. For this particular research, the researchers want to investigate the similar problematic features of pronunciation of the second semester students of English Study Program of Universitas Brawijaya and later will try to implement some teaching pronunciation techniques to modify their pronunciation production. For this particular research employs a qualitative research design. The data were analysed into narrative description, interpretation and textual. The participants were asked to read aloud the given 14 minimal pair words list. The recorded data were saved as wave files (.wav) to analyze them by using PRAAT to visual display of the students’ First Formant (F1) and Second Formant (F2). Then, these visual displays were compared to those of native speakers in PRAAT window. The result of this research reveals that due to the lack of how to disambiguate the correct pronunciation of vowel sounds within the given words the participant tend to produce inaccurate pronunciation. Which are reflected by the result of the spectrum score range: F1 and F2. Some proposed techniques of teaching segmental were drilling, teaching minimal pairs, chanting with jazz chant and rhyming with tongue twisters, to modify learners segmental features. As the suggestion all targeted parties (students, Lectures and Authority) should be willing to do what are necessary to maintain the success of the teaching and learning pronunciation in Study program of English.Key words: student’ spoken feature, segment

Abstract

This paper aims at exploring the use of closing utterances in conversation in one of Indonesian television program. The results show that there are three types of strategies implemented close conversation and all of it is the part of positive face-saving strategies. These three strategies are: positive comment, excuse (reason), and the imperative to end strategy (imperative to end the conversation). Positive comments applied if the speakers actually enjoy the conversation, but he or she had to end it for some reasons. Excuse strategy is used to close the conversation by providing an alternative motivation or alternative explanations for the hearer which potentially exposed to the threat of the face. Lastly, imperative to end the conversation strategy applied by the use of imperative words/sentences to close the conversation, but the speaker still trying to save his/her partner’s face. In general, the positive face-saving strategies used by speakers to close the conversation also consider the feelings of the hearer, giving positive comments or express a reason why a conversation should end.Key words: Closing Conversation Strategies, Indonesian Television Program.

Abstract

In language teaching learning, teaching takes place as the primary activity. However, information about people’s language ability can be acknowledged from a useful and necessary testing. This useful device is highly considered because having the knowledge of a language, which is one’s linguistic competence is different to using this knowledge in actual production, which is one’s linguistic performance. A test as a subset of assessment, in simple terms, is a method of measuring a person’s ability, knowledge, or performance in given domain (Brown, 2004:3). Component of keywords related to this definition can be seen as (1) method – a set of techniques, procedures, or items that requires performance of the test-taker, (2) measure – to measure general ability, (3) individual’s ability, competence and performance – to understand who the test-takers are and (4) domain – a sample that represents general competence.

Abstract

The intention of this study is to describe the effectiveness of peer learning in EFL reading classroom of English Department students of PGRI University. The comprehension analysis is intended by comparing the answer of EFL reading classroom students in reading exercises. In order to sequence the reading comprehension of the EFL reading classroom the pre-test and post-test of reading exercises are measured. The experiment of reading comprehension includes the recruitment of 40 students of EFL reading classroom, the training, and exercising of reading text in reading exercises. These students are all first-year female teacher training students at PBI-UPY and aged between 17 and 23. The measurement is compare with pre-test and post-test of reading exercises. Standard measurement is comparison of students answer in pre-test and post-test of reading exercises. The result of this research the students who passed the standard score improved from 37% in the preliminary data to 77% at the end of the research.

The design of the study is Classroom Action Research (CAR) since the study is aimed at improving the students’ critical reading ability and solving the classroom’s problems on the teaching of reading. Based on its characteristics, the classroom action research is done repeatedly until those problems can be solved. Dealing with the classroom setting, the study is directed to develop the teaching strategy in order to find out a solution to the classroom’s problem in the teaching of reading. This study reveals that Cooperative Learning strategy has successfully improved students’ critical reading ability. In doing so, there are stages conducted namely, having cooperative work organization, using appropriate media, having creativity (for teachers), monitoring teaching and learning processes closely, and giving students feedback on their work. In conclusion, Cooperative Learning can be beneficial for students’ learning in critical reading as it can make students active and enjoy the classroom activities. However, it also has weaknesses such as time consuming and less appropriate for classes with bigger number of students. Despite the weaknesses, teachers are still recommended to apply this strategy in critical reading classes.
