Abstract

This paper reports the findings of the implementation of full dictation and partial dictation in improving the awareness of using grammar knowledge in reconstructing listening texts among the EFL students at STBA (School of Foreign Languages) LIA Yogyakarta. Three groups participated in the study, i.e. two experimental groups (Group A and B) and a control group (Group C). A pre-test on listening to lectures was administered to the three groups. Over 9 sessions, Group C did the listening exercises in their textbook using dicto-comp technique, while in addition to the listening exercises which applied dicto-comp, the students in Group A was given full dictation exercises and Group B received partial dictation exercises. A post-test was given to the three groups after the ninth session. In addition to the post-test, a 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire assessing the students responses to the dictation exercises was given to the experimental groups. Results of paired-samples tests indicated that there was a significant difference between each groups pre- and post-test. The mean gain score of Group B was higher than Group A showing that Group B had better improvement in the post-test. Furthermore, Group B had better grammar points in their post-test compared to Group A. Group C also increased their scores but they still got their teachers assistance to point out their grammatical mistakes in their notes. This suggests that the dictations given to the experimental groups improved the students awareness in applying their grammar knowledge to reproduce a listening text they heard.

Abstract

Having students to produce an organized and neat piece of writing has always been the life-long dream and goal of all EFL teachers. Thus, many studies have been conducted under quantitative study as like experimental research, to fill in this gap this study focused on figuring out the teacher’s point of view toward the use of picture as media, what are the target and how are the students’ participations toward it based by using qualitative design. The instruments applied are interview, observation and field notes, as triangulation data. One English teacher and 36 EFL learners participated as informants in this research. It turned out that the findings showed that based on interview of the teacher, it is believed that media as alternative to assist teacher in teaching writing. Besides, the teacher seems confident to teach writing by using the picture. Furthermore, the English teacher believed that students developed their writing skill by using picture. Meanwhile, based on observation and field notes, the EFL students seem enthusiast to learn writing especially it is combined with group discussion techniques. As further studies, it is best to look at the students writing assessment process through picture strategies in EFL class.

Abstract

E-Learning. as in the use of technology for teaching and learning purposes. has been promoted in Indonesia to be an alternative of learning process. Although it was late if it is compared with other Asian countries. it is a step forward for a learning process in Indonesia. However. many of the E-Learning practices involve the uploading of digitized content materials to a learning management system. In the present. the activity of student is downloading the content materials from his/her lecturer only. It makes the E-Learning website have no competitive advantage compared with the common website. The E-Learning website should be a medium for the students 10 interact. discuss. and collaborate ill their project work. A collaborative learning can increase better quality of learning because there is a unity of thinking and learning skills. There are several kinds of software which provide the Learning Management Systems (LMS) but not all of them can give media for collaboration. A tutor is one of the LMS that can give a media for the students to create a draft using its virtual room. Each students can give inputs or revise the draft to improve the quality. Then. the final report can be shared to other students using the virtual library, after the draft is finished.

Abstract

Of the four language skills, listening is often considered to be the most crucial for the language learner since listening is a highly interactive skill and many SLA researchers have demonstrated its significant role in language acquisition (Vandergrift 1996). The appropriateness, and effective usage of listening strategies can help learners to facilitate the language process. Oxford (1989) states that there is a relationship between learner's variables and the choice of language learning strategies (LLSs). Therefore, the use of appropriate (LLSs), especially metacognitive strategies are significant to improve and advance learners' listening proficiency because their language level will rise.

Abstract

This research was initiated following the widespread claim regarding the success of learner-centered teaching approach across all disciplines. It seeks to examine whether such a claim is true by implementing a theoretical framework of learner centered teaching in an EFL Classroom. A qualitative design involving a teacher of English and a number of learners from a vocational higher institution was used. The findings of this study overall proved that the implementation of this learner-centered teaching framework could make a difference in students’ learning. Their learning became more meaningful, interesting and democratic. Apart from this positive change, it was identified that teacher’s understanding of implementing this framework was still limited resulting in the inconsistency of implementing all aspects of learner centered teaching approach. This study could highlight issues unique to the context of this research but were not covered in the framework. It, therefore, produced an extended framework. Findings from this study can be used for teachers who are interested in implementing the learner-centered teaching approach.

Abstract

The notion of translatability is possibly done with the extent to which meaning can still be adequately conveyed across languages. For this to be feasible, meaning has to be understood not only in terms of what the source text contains, but also in terms of target audience and purpose of translation. In linguistic untranslatability, the functionally relevant features include some which are in fact formal features of the language of the source language text. If the target language has no formally corresponding feature, the text, or the item, is (relatively) untranslatable. What appears to be a quite different problem arises, however, when a situational feature, functionally relevant for the source text, is completely absent in the culture of target language. As culture has something to do with the concept, source language texts and items are more or less translatable rather than absolutely translatableoruntranslatable. An adaptation, then, is a procedure whereby the translator replaces a term with cultural connotations, where those connotations are restricted to readers of the original language text, with a term with corresponding cultural connotations that would be familiar to readers of the translated text. Translating such culturally untranslatable items entails profound knowledge on both source and target cultures. Most cases in this particular work are solved by keepingcultural terms in the source language text, with or without explanation. Ecological, social, and religious culture terms undergo the process most frequently.
