Abstract

Abstract: This paper reports on a study conducted among Indonesian undergraduate students majoring in English as a Foreign Language (EFL). One strategy that learners generally use to understand the main ideas of an expository text is the superstructure strategy (i.e., utilizing the text structure to understand the main ideas). While research in English as First Language reading has demonstrated the benefit of using this strategy, little do we know whether Indonesian EFL learners use this strategy in reading and whether this strategy is beneficial to them or not. Two versions of an expository text were developed: One version had an explicit text structure, with the inclusion of discourse markers, to elicit learners to use the superstructure strategy; the other was without discourse markers. It was hypothesized that learners who read the version with an explicit text structure would utilize the superstructure strategy thereby comprehending main ideas better than those who read the other version. Additionally, to confirm the hypothesis learners were also asked to answer a questionnaire developed from OMalley and Chamot (1993) followed by an interview to find out if EFL learners used other strategies to comprehend main ideas.

Abstract

Abstract: This article discusses and gives an example of how English material development should be done using the thematic approach as suggested by the 1994 English curriculum of SMU (high school) and using the integrated approach in which various language exercises (pronunciation, vocabulary, structure and the four skills) are integrated naturally in line with what happens in real life communication. The example given is to develop a unit of English material with the theme of Student Exchange and the sub-theme of Looking for an Accommodation so the students will be able to use English in their effort to find a good accommodation when they have the chance to join a Student Exchange Program in the future. The unit will start with a reading activity (reading advertisements) to find possible accommodation from the newspaper. Then they will have to ring a few landlords who have rooms or apartments to get further information about the accom-modation advertised (speaking/listening practice) and so on until they get the good accommodation they need at the right cost they can afford. In this way, a story line can be constructed for the whole programs (with various themes and sub-themes) to make the program more interesting.
