Abstract

This study reported students’ perceptions of the teacher’s teaching conceptions in an English Teacher Training and Education Program in Indonesia. The teaching conceptions were based on Freeman and Richardson’s (1993) three types of teaching conceptions: scientifically based, theory-and-values based, and art or craft based conceptions. The study involved 218 participants from three different batches (2008, 2009, and 2010). Obtaining the data from the questionnaires and interviews, this study found that the three batches shared the same perceptions of several items in each teaching conception. In the science/research conception, they agreed on the teachers’ applying learning principles and using an effective classroom practice model. As for the theory/philosophy conception, they similarly perceived the teachers’ incorporating values into teaching, conveying communicative approach, referring to theories, giving moral values through teaching, presenting themselves as a role model in morality, and presenting their teaching rationally. Their perceptions were also confirmed by the interview revealing that the students tended to see their teachers’ teaching conceptions as theory/philosophy based. Regarding the art/craft conception, they similarly noted the teachers’ helping them to understand how to develop their ability and skills as future teachers. The analysis using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) further confirmed that the three batches were not significantly different with P = .658. They expected the teachers to hold art/craft based teaching conception because they believed that understanding them as learners was the key for successful learning.Keywords:  students’ perceptions, teachers’ teaching conceptions, scientifically based, theory-and-values based, and art or craft based conceptions.

Abstract

Although metaphor has been ignored, lexically-based language teaching considers metaphor as an important aspect to learn. Learning metaphor helps learners improve their general proficiency in SLA because metaphor is a key to human memory organization, so that it enhances the acquisition of vocabulary, improves comprehension, clarifies ideas, extends thought, and increases attention. As long as meaning is the center of second language learning, metaphorical meaning must also be included because metaphor is pervasive in every day language and thought.  Raising students’ awareness towards metaphor helps develop their metaphorical competence, which is a requirement for native-like proficiency. The importance of metaphor in lexically-based language teaching lends support from, cognitive linguistics the theory of mental lexicon, cognitive linguistics, second language acquisition, and the abundant use of metaphor in daily use. Keywords: lexically-based language teaching, metaphor

Abstract

This study presents the results of an investigation into the extent to which explicit instruction in English word stress patterns correlates with better word stress assignment performance by Palestinian EFL university students. The students received three weeks of explicit instruction in the main English word stress rules. In analyzing the differences in the pre- and post-treatment test scores, the researchers found significant increases on the post-treatment test scores which indicate a correlation between explicit instruction in word stress rules and students' performance in word stress assignment. Teaching suggestions and activities are provided to improve learners' word stress assignment performance. The results of this study are of great value to Palestinian linguists, EFL teachers and curricula developers who need to pay special attention to this often overlooked area and, therefore, to ensure that pedagogical materials and teaching activities on word stress become an integral part of EFL curricula. Keywords:   word stress – explicit instruction – Arab EFL learners – stress placement rules

Abstract

The field of foreign language teaching has been dominated mostly by Western views. While some of these views can indeed be implemented, many others, especially with regards to the role of the teacher and that of the students, stumble on cultural barriers; the approaches are also constrained by the unavailability of educational facilities in most Eastern societies. This paper is to look into these two constraints: (a) in the case of learner autonomy and the new role of the teacher, the Western concepts cannot  be conveniently implemented without changing the cultural values of the society, and (b) in the case of educational facilities, Western approaches such as  Community Language Learning, Total Physical Response, Suggestopedy, and Content-based Instruction, which are claimed to be student-centered, cannot easily be implemented in normal classrooms where educational aids  are not generally available on the national scope.Keywords: learner autonomy, Community Language Learning, Total Physical Response, Suggestopedy, Content-based Instruction.

Abstract

This paper discusses the implications of using the auditory priming method in teaching English word stress to Indonesian university students. In auditory priming experiment, 30 participants had to pronounce 80 English words after hearing the stimuli (i.e. prerecorded 80 words with correct stress placement). The data was taken from the recordings of the students’ responses, which were transcribed carefully to determine the stress placement. Research revealed that auditory priming effect was achieved although the result was not statistically significant. The result of this study was significant for Indonesian EFL teachers as it give insight for the implementation of the auditory priming method to teach English pronunciation.Keywords : Auditory priming, word stress placement,priming effect

Abstract

The research based on sociocultural theory suggests that studying learner interaction during task performance will provide a window for understanding the cognitive processes that are involved in acquiring a second language. The study reported here investigated the extent to which pairs of learners collaborated in performing rule-discovery grammar tasks. It took into account the proportion of contribution each learner made to the task and the type of scaffolded assistance they provided each other. The findings indicate that learners do generally collaborate while performing tasks, often sharing talk equally and with little indication of a dominant partner. The interaction between the learners of all pairs investigated in the study displayed evidence of scaffolding in various forms, indicating that they generally approached the tasks with a mutual, collaborative orientation. Learners adopted the roles of experts and novices, which were at times interchangeable, and helped each other to arrive at a shared solution. Keywords: sociocultural theory, task performance, rule-discovery grammar tasks, scaffolded assistance

Abstract

Despite the fact that teachers of foreign languages often talk about ‘conversation classes’, the provision of conversation and instruction is often considered to be mutually exclusive (Seedhouse 1996). However, this paper proposes that humanistic language teaching (HLT) is one way of resolving this paradox. A language instructor has two sources of authority: institutional and linguistic. A facilitator, using humanistic teaching techniques, gives up institutional authority and so ‘frees up’ the classroom turn-taking system so that the strict initiation-response-feedback (IRF) pattern of most teaching is transformed into a conversational pattern where any participant is potentially a next speaker. Consequently, a conversation can take place in a class. On the other hand, linguistic authority is still exercised in the form of side-sequences which allow the facilitator to provide minimally invasive feedback without affecting the overall orientation to conversational rules of turn-taking. Keywords: facilitation, humanistic language teaching, identity, conversation, initiation-response-feedback

Abstract

This paper begins by noting that disappointments have been expressed with the communicative approach to language teaching, before discussing a number of problems involved in its implementation. This leads to the question of how English language teaching can attend to grammatical form, but without sacrificing the focus on communicative function. The paper then points to a convergence between strands of research in both theoretical and applied linguistics. In theoretical linguistics, the increasing prominence of ‘construction grammars’ resonates nicely with recent suggestions that ‘lexical phrases’ or ‘formulaic sequences’ should be given greater focus in language teaching. The rest of the paper goes on to consider the pedagogical value of the notion of a construction. Keywords:   Communicative approach, construction grammar, formulaic language, workplace communication

Abstract

This paper reports the result of a case study on anxiety in oral English classrooms in a Chinese university. By way of survey and reflective journals, the study revealed that (1) anxiety was experienced by a considerable number of students when speaking English in class, (2) the students reported to be the most anxious when singled out to speak English in class or giving presentations at the front while the least during pair work, (3) a multitude of variables such as lack of vocabulary, low English proficiency and memory disassociation contributed to student anxiety in class, and (4) most students felt helpless about being anxious when speaking English in class. Finally, some suggestions were discussed in order to help students reduce anxiety and become more confident to speak English in oral language classrooms, thus ultimately enhance their learning of oral English. Keywords: anxiety, oral English classroom, Chinese University

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of an exploratory study on the role of noticing in improving written accuracy. The noticing hypothesis, as conceptualised by Schmidt (1990, 2001), focuses on the need to enhance learners’ awareness of target language items in order to convert input into intake and subsequently internalise input as part of interlanguage. This study also takes into account the comprehensible output hypothesis (Swain, 1985, 1998) that proposes that output can promote noticing as it encourages learners to become aware of the gap between their interlanguage and the target language usage. These concepts have been translated into three types of feedback techniques for written output and the techniques are Enhancement, Reformulation, and Sequential. All three techniques function as a means to enhance learners’ awareness of past time forms and are therefore form-focused in nature but avoid explicit explanations of those target forms. Results indicate that noticing is influenced by the types of learner responses to the techniques. The structural components of a target form may influence the success of its acquisition. Statistical results suggest that all three instructional techniques were equally successful in enhancing noticing and in increasing learners’ written accuracy. Keywords: noticing   hypothesis,   input,   intake,   interlanguage, comprehensibe   output    hypothesis,   enhancement, reformulation, sequential
