Abstract

In the global higher education (HE) scenario, many countries face common challenges in higher education  including rising demands for access to higher education, and the needs to improve the quality of higher education  for international recognition. Although the harmonisation of HE process in Europe has not been without flaws, a regional platform to address and perhaps solve common challenges in higher education  is of interests to the global regions. This project examines the teaching and research capacity of hight education in the case of ASEAN countries. Education for All (EFA) is a drive to decentralize basic and secondary educational planning, management and accountability, particulary in countries with highly centralized systems of governance, to make themm more responsive to diverse local needs and place more responsibility at the local level. The decentralization of higher education also played a part in Indonesia’s many post-revolutionary reforms, and the Indonesian goverment identified a group of top tier universities to become more independent from central control. Considering a regional commitment to establish an ASEAN Community by 2015 and the international challenges in higher education, a more prominent role of the harmonisation of higher education  process within the ASEAN region is crucial to build a strong foundation for the ASEAN Community and also to enhance higher education interconnectedness of ASEAN and beyond. This study explores the teaching and research capacity of Indonesia education , particularly from an ASEAN perspective. It also investigates the progress and impediments towards increased human resources development in Indonesia education in this region of ASEAN, to promote the connectivity in education among ASEAN countries and beyond.

Abstract

Cooperative Learning (CL) is one of the instructional methodologies which have gain international attention in the globalization era. Cooperative learning is now utilized in schools and universities throughout most of the world in every subject area and from preschool through graduate school and adult training program (Johnson & Johnson, 2009). In hundreds of studies, cooperative learning has been associated with gains in such variables as achievement, motivation, social skills, intergroup relation, and attitudes toward school, self, and others(Dornyei, 1997; Johnson, Johnson, & Smith, 1998; Johnson, Johnson, & Stanne, 2000; Slavin, 1996). Recently,some techniques of cooperative learning have been adopted by a number of teachers in Indonesia. At the same time, the Government of Indonesia through The Ministry of Education and Culture (MOEC) introduced new curriculum, called curriculum 2013, in order to improve their education quality. As the main objectives of Curriculum 2013 are to improve students’ attitudes, skills, and knowledge (Republik Indonesia, 2012), there will be a need to be changes in the approaches to learning and teaching to be more learner-centred. This has implications for the needs of teacher training and development programs as well as instructional methodology appropriate to support the curriculum 2013.There is a requirement to provide more active learning in the classroom. This paper as part of larger study part of the Structured PhD in TESOL program University of Limerick, Ireland, is aimed at exploring if cooperative learning, which intends to include and engage learners and therefore promote active learning, is appropriate instructional methodology to support the implementation of Curriculum 2013. This paper argues that cooperative learning is an effective instructional methodology to support, and therefore achieve, three main objectives of Curriculum 2013.

Abstract

The teacher found some constraints in students of understanding English text such as limited vocabulary; the students are lack of stock of the words, the students who have little knowledge of vocabulary will face some difficulties to understand the written language. The students’ lack knowledge about the text, when student have lack knowledge about the topic that make student difficult to conclude the idea of the text, they are hard to understand what the text tells about. This research used Experimental design. The writer teaches two different classes. They are control and experimental class. The population of this research is 305 students eighth grade in Junior High School which consists of eight classes. The writer used cluster random sampling technique to measure the reading comprehension test.In collecting data, the writer will give reading comprehension tests to the students using multiple choice, and questioner in teaching learning using NHT in reading comprehension. The test is given to get the objective data of student’s achievement in reading comprehension by using cooperative learning type NHT in experimental class. The writer will apply two test: there is pre test and post test.The results data of analysis pre-test of the experimental class and the control class show there is no difference in mean, where value of the average values experiment class is 46.1 while the average control class is 43,1 after the experiment class was given treatment, turned out to give effect to the post-test score. The analysis data of post-test that have been done, it shows that there are differences in the average value of post-test between the experiment class and the control class, where the average in the experiment class is 68 while the control class average is 61.7. Based on the data analysis of post-test, it shows that values tcountmore than ttable, where tcount is 2.18 while ttable is 1.99, so hypothesis statistic (H1) is accepted.  This suggests that the cooperative learning type NHT more effective than conventional learning. Based on those results, it can be concluded that the application of cooperative learning type NHT technique is effective in teaching reading comprehension.

Abstract

The current study examined and described the views of secondary school students and their parents on the causes of private tutoring in English. These views were obtained through two group interviews with the students and parents separately. Several causes were brought up during the two interviews. These causes included difficulty of the English language, weak teacher performance, the need to pass exams with high marks, lack of parents’ follow-up of student school performance, social pressure, variability in student comprehension levels at school, weak English foundation in previous school years, repeated student absence from school, large classes, as well as English teachers’ heavy teaching loads. The study started with a description of the EFL educational system in Saudi Arabia and concluded with recommendations for the improvement of the school learning environment.

Abstract

Role play is a potential activity which gives change for the students to enhance their  speaking performance in a meaningful context. This study tries to investigate how the role play is implemented in teaching speaking in kindergarten context. Further, it also attempts to find out the kinds of speaking performance produced by the students during the teaching learning process. An exploratory case study research design was used in this study while the participants of this study were 22 students whose ages range between 5 and 6 years old. The data were gleaned from classroom observations, observation rating scale, and students’ daily learning records. Analysis of the data shows that teaching speaking to young learners in this study is conducted by implementing the sequence of activities that generally can be divided into three main stages, i.e. the activities before, during and after role play. The first stage is carried out as preparation to conduct the role play in the second stage while the last stage is conducted as a reflection from the teacher and students about the language which has been learnt and also about the teaching learning process. The other result from data analysis shows that the students can produce three kinds of speaking performance during the teaching learning process, these include: naming objects, producing simple sentences, and getting involved in a dialog. By conducting role play, the students are able not only to memorize and mention the word regardless its context but also use the language in meaningful contexts.

Abstract

Reflection is an important component of the teaching profession. It is the process of looking at information or events, evaluating them, and using the results to change or enhance future events. As teachers engage in reflection, they become more critical about their own teaching practices, consequently, they become more effective.This Phenomenology study explored the reflective skill of a student teacher during teaching practice in an ESL class in one of the primary schools in Batam. It was also aimed to see the impact of her reflective skill for her teaching practices. Instruments for data collection included reflection journal reviews and an interview. The study concluded that she reflected well on the students’ understanding of the material, consequently improving her teaching strategies. However, she did not reflect on how she handled her students ‘negative behaviour.

Abstract

This research paper explores theories behind Total Physical Response (T.P.R) methods and psychology by associating them with music in order to examine the role of listening to music and dancing in language learning. This research utilises the five pillars of Zumba (music, dance, the power of now, enjoyment, and relaxing) that may create an environment for motivating language fluency learning and investigates whether these pillars have the potential for making Zumba, a global phenomenon in teaching languages. Studies depicting how listening to music facilitates foreign language learning will be outlined. This is a personal form of ethnographic research requiring the participant researcher to investigate the role of music and dance in increasing learner motivation learning the English language.

Abstract

“I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any. I refuse to live in other people’s houses as an interloper, a beggar or a slave.   ~Mahatma Gandhi”Knowledge proliferates only when thereare continuous flows of information from other sources. The continuous flow of information takes place through a medium; that is a language.  A language plays very important role in transmitting the knowledge from one to another.  There are two ways through which knowledge travels; one is through the local language and other is foreign language.  Local languages are similar to each other therefore knowledge does not find any challenge in passing the knowledge. However,the challenge comes when the knowledge is locked in a box of foreign language.  When we talk about foreign language it implies the language of the foreign land.  The language of the foreign land makes the knowledge lethargic to travel across the borders unless it finds its speakers beyond the borders.According to a web definition of foreign language, “a foreign language is a language indigenous to another country”. It is also a language not spoken in the native country of the person referred to.
