On the other hand, the system seems nonsenseif it is not supported by compatible human resources. Teachers as one of main actors in a teaching-learning process should be a concern as well. This paper is a brief reflection on violence, education, and teachers.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to find out the impact of using English songs towards the students’ vocabulary mastery at grade 10 of SMK Negeri 1 Bandarlampung 2013 - 2014.Vocabulary mastery is all the words known and used by a particular person. The use of English songs in the teaching and learning processes is expected to be able to improve the students’ vocabulary mastery.Data analysis was attempted using t-Test for two group design. Results indicated that p-value 1% = 2.65, 5% = 2.00, and t-value = 11,61. It is statistically significant as p-value is smaller than t-value. Therefore, null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. These findings suggest that there is impact of English songs towards the students’ vocabulary mastery at grade ten of SMK Negeri 1 Bandarlampung in academic year 2013 - 2014.

The data, which were retrieved from students’ conditional sentence writing. A class of eleventh grade students (Class XI IPA 3) science class of SMA N 5 Bandar Lampung. Data analysis discovered that most of the students still made all of the four error types under the heading of surface strategy taxonomy.The error types that were identified in the students’ conditional sentence writing were ranked for the surface strategy taxonomy, errors in misformation amount to 166 errors (54.07%), omission 74 errors (28.46%), addition 18 errors (6.94%), and misordering only 1 errors (0.38%). For each type of the conditional, type one got omission 46 errors (17,76%), misformation 19 errors (7.33%), addition 7 errors (2.7%), misorderin 1 error (0.38%), on type two got misformation 62 errors (23.93%), addition 11 errors (4.24%), and omission 10 errors(3.86%), on type three misformation 85 errors (32.81%),  and omission 18 errors(6.94%).

Abstract

Public tends to assume that high scores achievements in a National Exam are strongly related with the success of education. This study was an exploration of this phenomenon. Using grounded theory, a rural school in Indonesia in which the students could achieve relatively high scores in National exam in three academic years was studied. The study focused on how the School-Level Curriculum (SLC, Kurikulum Tingkat SatuanPendidikan, KTSP) policy was interpreted and transferred from the National Education Board to the related school. The study indicated that during the curriculum policy transfer process, a number of significant ideas were adjusted and left out. Based on the findings, this study suggested that educational practitioners should be able to pin down the terms of reference in the SLC policy transfer process in order to reduce misunderstanding, and to do so, they should be equipped with strategies to implement ideas into practice, including the strategies to embed pedagogical theories within the curriculum.

Abstract

English has been accepted as a global language. Users of English as a second language have outnumbered the native speakers. David Crystal gives the statistics which say that second/foreign language users of English are in the range of 1000 million, whereas the native speakers total not more than 400 million (Crystal, D 2004). As a result, teaching of English has acquired greater importance in the 21st century. The goals of teaching English have acquired new dimensions. In this context many issues and questions arise in teaching English, especially in teaching spoken English because a major part of communication transpires through the spoken mode.Non-native speakers learning to speak English from native speaker teachers in the English environment get a lot of support. But non-native teachers teaching and testing spoken English to non-native learners in a second language context is very challenging. The teacher has to take several decisions like which model to adopt – RP or American or the non-native variety. If a non-native variety is adopted, which one? In the multi-lingual context the teacher should also be aware of the mother tongue in the learners’ English. Besides this, the decision about the importance to be given to accuracy and fluency gains relevance in the context of communication in English. Other considerations are the availability of readymade materials and the teacher competence in filling the gaps if suitable materials are not available. Sometimes the problems include the learners’ reluctance to accept the non-native teachers.The paper discusses the principles and issues involved in teaching spoken English. The paper argues that teaching spoken English by non-native teachers to non-native learners in multi-lingual context is more challenging than teaching other skills. The author’s experience in teaching spoken English to undergraduates in Eritrea and Yemen and also students from various countries studying at the English and Foreign Languages University, and how the challenges are met would be discussed.

Abstract

Speech understanding deficits are common in older adults. In addition to hearing sensitivity, changes in certain cognitive functions may affect speech recognition. One such change that may impact the ability to follow a rapidly changing speech signal is processing speed. When speakers slow the rate of their speech naturally in order to speak clearly, speech recognition is improved. The acoustic characteristics of naturally slowed speech are of interest in developing time-expansion algorithms to improve speech recognition for older listeners. In this study, we tested younger normally hearing, older normally hearing, and older hearing-impaired listeners on time-expanded speech using increased duration and increased intensity of unvoiced consonants. Although all groups performed best on unprocessed speech, performance with processed speech was better with the consonant gain feature without time expansion in the noise condition and better at the slowest time-expanded rate in the quiet condition. The effects of signal processing on speech recognition are discussed.

Abstract

It is generally accepted that curriculum can be considered as aprogressively modifiable ideas, plan, and reality. For Indonesian education to catch up with current scientific and tehnological progresses as well as changing Indonesian society’s needs,  the central government’s efforts to continually improve the school curricula have been undergone recently. It is hoped the new curricula would be able to fullfill the Middle Range National Development Plan mision which call for revisiting all the better thoughts and efforts to improve the existing 2006 school-based curricula or the KTSP (Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan) curricula.This article analyzes foundational ideas and principles which could explain the why, what, how the improvement of the existing curricula are urgently needed. Conceptual analysis will be applied  to look into all national foundational imperatives which call for improving school curricula as well as asking all national education stakeholders to enhance both national concern and collaboration for the bettermen of future Indonesian generation through building and implementing quality education, primarily that for schools.
