Abstract

Abstract: Skills in reading (and learning information from) texts written in English as a foreign language (EFL reading) constitute an important element of the establishment of English curriculum of secondary and tertiary schools (both English and non-English departments) in Indonesia. The need of the learners to be skilled in reading to learn has inspired EFL reading teachers or specialists to apply some techniques in the teaching of EFL reading and to investigate the effects of the techniques on improving Indonesian students’ reading skills, as well as to examine various related aspects such as reading materials, reading strategies, and factors affecting reading comprehension. Our purpose in writing this article is to review recent development in the EFL reading pedagogy and research in Indonesia and to view it from the broader perspective on the theories of reading process and ESL/EFL reading instruction. Drawing on the results of this analysis, we will outline the current trends and recommend future direction in the EFL reading pedagogy and research in this country.

Abstract

Abstract: This paper proposes the implementation of reading-based classroom activities for teaching English as a foreign language in Indonesia. Compared to other language skills, reading is viewed to provide a relatively stable foundation for Indonesian students to develop their communicative competence in English. It is argued that reading-focused activities stimulate confidence for Indonesian learners to get involved in listening, speaking, and writing related-activities in ways that are similar to normal daily life communication. The reasons for the proposed implementation of reading-based classroom activities in TEFLIN and the role of reading and its relation with other language skills are presented.

Since the perspective of the traditional/structuralism school could not provide enough ‘reader involvement’, reader-response is one of the alternatives that support teaching against the grain. It provides the students with a more active exploration of the text in relation to their selves. This active engagement is important from the perspective of pedagogy. It enriches ‘student-centered’ methodology. The application, however, must be combined with a critical perspective. This process encourages students to identify the position of power in the literary texts. It allows teachers to explore students’ responses that will obviously become invaluable resources in the teaching-learning process.

Abstract

Abstract: An issue that has recently been gaining more attention in the domain of language testing is item bias. Defined as the characteristic of an item which causes learners of the same abilities but of different social groups to perform differently, the bias can be present as gender, ethnic, religious, social class, or cultural bias. The paper brings up a discussion in this area of concern by starting off from the concept of culture. It then explains what cultural bias is, how it manifests in items of language tests, and what unfavorable results may happen. It then highlights some examples of cultural bias in some popular standardized tests constructed by both foreign institutions and domestic educational bodies. The paper argues that if language teaching is to foster the development of cross-cultural understanding, attempts should be made to eliminate such bias. It then concludes by discussing Differential Item Functioning, a method that is used for dealing with bias in language tests.
