Abstract

In Indonesian context, writing is considered as painful activity indicating that oral culture is much better than writing one. The students’ works are sufficiently kept in the libraries, although to publish those is much more worthy. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the students’ writing skills through a meaningful way namely writing journal article. This review article is therefore intended to discuss ways of improving students’ writing skills through writing journal article. The result of consulting different existing related literature can be concluded that the ability of writing can be variously defined based on the pedagogical objectives and approach. Meanwhile, the skill of writing journal article is classified as one of the writing skills derived from Process/Cognitive approach. Amongst the underlying ways to publish the students’ manuscripts is by taking a look at the structure of a journal article, the writing guide and the writing style of a journal publication to which the manuscript is intended to publish. By implementing the above mentioned tips of writing a journal article, the EFL students will not only improve their writing skills but make their works much worthy as well. In a nutshell, in addition to publish the students’ works, to write journal article is essential to improve their writing skills.Key words: writing skills, writing journal articles, pedagogical approach of writing

Abstract

There has been a long debate about children learning a foreign or second language (SL) at an early age. Some claim that learning a foreign language (FL) can burden children who are still struggling in mastering their native language (NL). In case of Indonesian context, English has been excluded from the 2013 curriculum. Arguments supporting the elimination seem baseless and worth revising. Considering the benefits of learning English which outweigh the drawbacks in terms of improving the quality of the next generation, Indonesian government should recommend English to be taught in elementary schools. Some important points regarding human or teachers and teaching resources need to be taken into account further.

Abstract

Linguistically, the more complex clause a sentence implements, themore complex the grammar it embed. A simple clause, as opposingthe complex clause, consists of a subject and a verb with optionalobject or complement. However, Biber et.al. (2011) has provedthat complexity of a clause attached in a sentence fails to indicatethe complexity of a sentence in writing composition. Furthermore,they indicated the stage of the acquisition of complexity features ofwriting, including that of in L2 of English. This present study aimsat investigating how the frequency of complex sentence produced byGanesha University of Education students different from that of byprofessional academic writer, to assess students’ writing ability. Thecomplexity features of writing comprise: 1) fnite dependent clausetypes; 2) non-fnite dependent clause; and 3) dependent phrase types(non-clausal). Theoretically, the implication of the study aims to beneftthe development of teaching writing through authentic assessmentprocess. Providing assessment with diagnostic feedback on areasof needed improvement through authentic assessment in Englishlanguage teaching has become a solution due to its signifcance forlanguage learner (Brown & Abeyvikrama, 2010: 254). Corpus-basedanalysis is conducted allowing great number of data to be analyzed togenerate more reliable generalization (Baker, 2010). The corpus dataand the frequency of sentence complexity as represented by selectedfeatures of (Biber et al., 2011), are annotated using CLAWS part-of-Made Wahyu Mahendra, An Authentic Assessment....46.speech tagger hosted by Ucrel, and are calculated by Ant.Conc 3.2.4corpus software. The fndings projects surprisingly occurrence inwhich undergraduate students utilizes clausal sentence rather thanphrasal sentences. It becomes indication that the students are in theearly developmental stage of complexity in writing.

Thedata analysis was using T test. The result showed that the students’mean score in teaching reading before treatment just only 67.48. Whilethe students’ score after treatment was 84.52. At the signifcance levelof 0.05, the score of t table is 2.056. By comparing the “t” that theresearcher has got calculation t count (8.625) and the value of “t” onthe t-table tt = 0.05 (2.056). It is known that t-count is bigger thant-table = (8.625 > 2.056).Because the tcount is bigger than ttable thealternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho)is rejected, it means that there is different reading mean score of thesecond grade at SMPN 1 Sumbergempol between before being taughtby using comic and after taught by using comic. It can be concluded that using comic in teaching reading is effective.

It’s means that Ha which states that there is signifcant effect of using Reciprocal Teaching as a technique of teaching reading narrative text toward students’ reading comprehension of the second Grade students of MTs N Pulosari is accepted. Whereas Ho which states that There is no signifcant effect of using Reciprocal Teaching as a technique of teaching reading narrative text toward students’ reading achievement of the second grade students of MTs N Pulosari is rejected.

Simple past tense is the form of a verb used to describe actions in the past. After knowing the highly complex grammar especially in simple past tense, teacher needs to move to how to select the materials and activities to be used in grammar class. One of techniques used in teaching grammar is Team Assisted Individualization technique, Team Assisted Individualization technique belongs to the cooperative learning. Team Assisted Individualization technique is a technique in which the students are placed into the small groups and then followed by the giving the help individually for the student who need it. The score “t” at the signifcance level of 5%, the calculation t-count is 9.49, and the value of “t” on the t-table with the signifcance 5% with the value of Df = 50, it can be found that t-table = 2.01. It means that there is difference grammar score between experimental and control class. Based on the explanation above, the Team Assisted Individualization technique surely shows the real effectiveness.
