Abstract

Primary school teachers have a crucial role to support CLIL and web-oriented media implementation in class. CLIL approach pedagogically offers double advantages; English competence and content development. This pedagogical approach leads to sufficient English input at the early stage of learning which makes primary learners able to shift the paradigm that English is a challenging language to learn. More importantly, primary school learners can take the advantages of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) part of their daily use for the sake of CLIL, so learning can be fun and enjoyable. Nevertheless, much of the previous research in Indonesian context gives limited attention to how primary school teachers perceived CLIL interwoven into ICT based media.) that situation led into this research. Also, this research is expected to encourage the CLIL application in formal education, particularly in primary levels due to time efficacy and effectiveness. The involved participants were 12 primary school teachers in a primary school in Malang. A 14-item Likert-Scale questionnaire and FGD were applied to collect the data. It was found that the teachers perceive the CLIL and web-based media positively, but they would reconsider to implement it in their class due to English competency reasons and material design issue, facilities, and school support. Therefore, hybrid CLIL implementation and teachers’ collaboration are suggested.

Abstract

This paper reported a research project on using drama in English as foreign language (EFL) classroom for exploring students’ knowledge and learning. The exploration aimed at understanding the students’ interests, abilities and motivations. Then, we also observed the teacher’s perceptions in the classrooms during the implementation of the drama for the students. In the study, we find that students show their good engagement and comprehension abilities. However, the perceptions of the teachers varied on the several aspects of the students’ preparation and performance. Further, their perceptions reflect the pedagogical context offering possibilities for cultural production in language learning. The research results underline how the drama can be used to construct the abilities for early language learners especially for social engagement and language comprehension.
