Abstract

The present research evaluated EFL perspectives about contextual clues in reading comprehension at different proficiency levels. The data analysis using qualitative descriptions with frequencies and percentages was employed for 38 intermediate-level students and 25 advanced-level students in the university level through teaching contextual clues in reading comprehension with an experimental design. The results proved that students' proficiency in reading ability could be demonstrated by their use of idiomatic expressions, indirect language, direct language, series of words, comparison, synonym, tone, situation, mood, reference, restatement, preposition, cause-effect, modification, and example. Advanced students with a high level of vocabulary, grammar, and decoding skills were better able to utilize many contextual clues than intermediate students. Thus, reading ability was strongly correlated with the ability to infer word meaning from contextual clues.

Abstract

This study is a part of a joint study, aiming to develop a teacher professional development program on training teachers to teach PISA-like reading. The bigger program focuses on a pedagogical intervention that incorporates PISA reading into English and Indonesian subjects based on Systemic Functional Linguistics Genre-Based Approach (SFL GBA) and has been reported in Emilia et al. (2022). Meanwhile, this study centred around the observation of English teachers’ ability to develop PISA-like reading tasks. The intervention is framed within PISA reading (OECD, 2019a,b), and SFL GBA (Halliday & Matthiesen, 2014; Derewianka & Jones, 2016; Emilia, 2011). The study employed a case study design. The findings show that teachers were able to develop PISA-like reading tasks, evidenced from the collected reading items that follow PISA 2018 cognitive processes and response format (OECD, 2019 a, b). Moreover, teachers’ responses from interviews were likewise positive, indicating their increased awareness of PISA and their ability to design similar reading tasks. It is recommended that the training be conducted in a variety of settings with a larger number of teachers for them to eventually assist Indonesian students in improving their reading literacy as suggested by PISA.

Abstract

This research investigated the Sundanese traditional cuisine proper names. The purpose of this research is to find out how Sundanese people name their food through the mental lexicon that appeared in the Sundanese traditional cuisine proper name. The proper cuisine names are collected from Sukabumi, Garut, and Bandung restaurants. The research method applied is a qualitative one. Through a Cognitive Linguistic study, the researchers investigated the phonological sounds and morphological processes that appeared in the Sundanese cuisine proper names. The research revealed that the two and three-vowel sound combinations appear in the proper Sundanese food names through conceptualization in cognitive linguistics. Furthermore, the acronym also happens in this food’s proper names, considering the sound that could produce the exciting names. The research results show that names from the Javanese region experience changes. Sundanese people add the morpheme into the first syllables since Sundanese people are not familiar with two syllables. To conclude, Sundanese people name their food based on how the body reacts to a specification. The form of Sundanese food’s proper name comes from the vowel sounds, which experience a morphemic process—the vocal sounds result in the rhyme. The consonant also tends to form a conceptual meaning that needs further discussion. The resulting research is also beneficial for learning the Sundanese language.

However, in the context of English students at Universitas Bengkulu, many students seemed to still struggle with speaking skills. Therefore, to cope with this problem, this classroom action research was conducted with the aim of improving the speaking skills of students who took English conversation course by applying action learning strategy (ALS) since this strategy was scientifically promising. Two phases of the class action design were employed in this research project. The data were garnered using observations, interviews, and English-speaking test. It was evident from the first phase of observation that almost all students recommended the ALS. The data from the interview revealed that a significant proportion of students had profited from this approach, and there were few students who spoke in front of the class. The first phase's precise decision how an average score of 74 was attained by the students. At the second phase, the observation and interview data showed that nearly all students actively participated during discussions and had good improvements of English-speaking skills. The result revealed that the implementation of ALS in the conversation course in semester 1 improves S1 students’ speaking skills.
