Abstract

In welcoming the 21st century, education in Indonesia faces big challenges to prepare competent human resources in order that they are competitive in the global market. Changes in educational policies have been made by the government to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. The success of education is not only the matter of getting much knowledge by students. Students are also demanded to have soft skills in order to be able to compete with others and to be independent or autonomous. Students must also know the nature of learning and use their knowledge and skills to solve problems in their life. One of the important ways to make students capable of solving problems in their life is by integrating and developing soft skills in the teaching and learning process, including English language teaching and learning. This paper aims at (1) describing the nature of soft skills in the context of English language teaching and learning and (2) describing the process of integrating the soft skills in the lesson plan, the instructional materials, the instructional activities, and the assessment of the students’ achievement. Therefore, this paper is expected to give teachers of English practical procedures of integrating soft skills in their English language teaching and learning so that Indonesian students are really ready to face challenges in the global market.

Abstract

Necessity is the mother of invention.  Since time immemorial man has advanced and made mammoth technological leap due to the necessities and making the appropriate adjustments and inventions. Working in an engineering college which caters to the eclectic mix of students from various regions of our country with different financial, social, cultural and educational backgrounds and gave keen urge to find methods of teaching which in turn would help them to get language competence and communicative competence.  When an individual acquires these competencies it will definitely boost the confidence and morale of the person.  Vocabulary development is the glue that holds fluency together.  Fluency has been defined as the freedom from word identification problems that might hinder comprehension.

Abstract

There have been increasing demands for English courses by non-English departments in Indonesia from year to year, either integrated in a curriculum as a compulsory subject, an optional course, or a special curriculum in a bilingual program. Whichever policy is taken, the objective is in order for the students to graduate with some English skills. One of the reasons for the demand is the increasing job vacancies that list a certain amount of English test score, mostly TOEFL, as a requirement. Both the reason and the objective, however, have so far been interpreted in curriculum as the need of English for English tests. In other words, an English course is needed in order to equip students should they are required to take an English test prior to job interview. This, I believe, is a case faced by most non-English departments in Indonesia.With such background, it is no wonder that English is considered as a mere subject which is apparent from the allocation of class hours. Students of non-English departments, which I assume to have weaker English competence and performance than those of English department, are given more or less 100 hours. Logically, if a student of English department is given more than 100 hours to sharpen his English skills, a student of non-English department should be given twice the hour, not less than that. It is not to mention when students are encouraged to take English courses outside university in which, in my opinion, it shows the lack of seriousness from the departments to provide intensive English courses. It seems that policy makers in non-English departments must be reminded of that English is a skill which, unlike knowledge, requires learning by doing and a long time process for fluency. Even a student of English department will experience degradation in competence and performance if he does not use his skill routinely. Therefore, English cannot, and should not, be learned just to pass an English test.Deriving from this point, policy makers and English teachers alike in non-English departments must design a curriculum and syllabus in which English should be studied for a longer and more frequent period of time (more than 3 semesters, 60-72 hours each semester) but with materials designed specifically for students of non-English departments and which is according to their field of study. The objective of this idea is for the students to achieve fluency in English naturally. With this much allocated time, students could begin studying basic skills of general English before they focus on English that is commonly used according to their field of study.This paper, then, offers a syllabus design for students of, specifically, Economics department. It is a design in which other non-English departments could modify according to their needs. With this intensive design, I believe, students can enhance their English skills that, even if they are not required to take an English test, they will not struggle in doing tasks that need English skills.

Abstract

One of the main concerns in Education of Indonesia is Literary Writing and Reading in English, as stated in Government Regulation No. 23 Year 2006. The Curriculum of English Literacy in Indonesia has been developed and teachers require more models in the teaching of English reading and writing in order to successfully increase students’ skills in reading and writing. One of the approaches is Genre Based, which has been also developed to Learning to Read: Reading to Learn (LRRL) program by David Rose. This program has successfully increased students’ literary skills at twice the expected rate with integrating teaching of high level skills in reading and writing with normal classroom program across the curriculum in Australia. This paper aims, firstly, to describe the first important stage of the program in a study conducted in a vocational high school in Bandung, Indonesia. The description deals with the theory of scaffolding in classroom, which is one of the conceptual frameworks of Reading to Learn strategy, where learning with the support of teacher will be more successful than learning independently. Secondly, it also aims to show how the stage was conducted in Indonesian context, as in reading materials and points of view.The result of this research shows thatsuch program can also give significant contributions to improve students’ skill in reading and writing. In addition, scaffolding plays the most important roles in preparing students to comprehend reading and practicing writing, so that teachers should have more understanding about scaffolding.

Abstract

The study Recontextualizationof ”Veronika Decides to Die”:  Schema-Based Pre-Reading Activity is aimed at preparing the pre-reading activities as a means to draw out the students’ concerns in the real world.  With the growing incidences in the  country of young people committing suicide, Literature classes can serve as an effective venue for the students to reflect about their lives and learn from other people from different cultures and periods of time that man can provide solutions to problems. The methodology involved preparing a lesson with the following pre-reading activities: a)  listened to a tribute made by a classmate to someone who committed suicide, b) listened to the song “Why?” by Rascal Flatts to draw reactions about committing suicide, c)  made students take an adapted Anger Management Test, wherein the focus was not to determine the interpretation of the results but to make the students reflect about how they handle difficult situations, d)  grouped the class into 5 (Group A-E) to discuss about the questions given, d)  reported to class on the discussion made among the group members.The questions given for discussion were as follows: 1)  How do the students manage their negative emotions – anger, anxiety, depression or worse, emptiness? 2) What would be the possible reasons which drive young people to commit suicide? 3)   What would you do if you were like Veronika who survived death after committing suicide and was given the chance to live 5 more days?    The findings were that they have their parents to cling to when they have problems; some believe they can manage or that they will seek the support from their peers or friends.  The reasons that they cited as those why young people commit suicide are as follows:   the pressure they feel from their parent’s expectations from them; losing a loved on and pressure borne from the desire to succeed in life so they can help their families. As to how they would spend the remaining days after having been rescued from death, the students considered making amends to those they wronged, staying with their loved ones and rekindling relationships.The answers of the students were not really new but having drawn out responses from them about the realities in young peoples’ lives was significantly important.  The term ‘recontextualization’ is not simply introduced and utilized as a strategy but as a means to awaken the recesses of the students’ consciousness about what may possibly happen to them should they fall prey to the pressures around them.
