Abstract

Undeniably, the teacher-centered learning approach has long been abandoned. From the preliminary observation conducted in an elementary school located in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, it is found that most of the teachers still maintain their role as the knowledge providers. In consequence, the motivation and participation of the students are low. Therefore, this study was aimed at describing the implementation of jigsaw technique in vocabulary acquisition and obtaining the students’ perception of the implementation of the technique. Method. This qualitative study collected data using observation on English learning in a classroom to obtain a description about the implementation of jigsaw technique in vocabulary acquisition. Both field notes and a checklist will be used to collect the data concerning with the students’ activities when applying the jigsaw technique. Moreover, a questionnaire will be spread to the students to obtain the students’ perception of the implementation of the technique. Results and Discussion. The application of jigsaw technique in learning has followed an appropriate procedure. In addition, the students also showed positive perceptions of the Jigsaw Technique. This technique can create a positive learning environment, support Student-Centered Learning (SCL), support cooperative learning, and help students gain skills. Conclusion. The jigsaw technique is useful for learning English, especially in gaining understanding. Considering the benefits that students gain after applying the jigsaw technique to learn English, this technique is also recommended for improving other English language skills, such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Abstract

Pronunciation is one of the speaking elements that must be mastered by foreign learners. However, students still found difficulties when pronouncing English words. Therefore, tongue twister was thought to be one effective technique to help students articulate the English words. The research applied pre-experimental design with only one experiment class. The class consisted of 15 participants from English Education Departement Program of Universitas Muhammadiyah Bulukumba and was chosen through purposive sampling technique. Statistical technique was applied to confirm the hypotheisis. Based on the test of significance result, it was found out that t test value is higher than the t table value (2.0351.708). This indicates that students’ pronunciation skills improved after students learnt with tongue twister which was combined with some other methods. Furthermore, it is also informed that there were some kinds of pronunciation errors made and the dominant errors found is phonetic errors due to the effect of students’ native language systems.

Abstract

Speaking a foreign language requires various skills, including grammar, vocabulary, instruction, etc. In English Language Teaching, pronunciation is one of the most crucial abilities. If speakers have poor pronunciation, their words will be incomprehensible to audiences. Despite the difficulty of acquiring pronunciation, many EFL classrooms pay the least attention to pronunciation training. This study aims to evaluate the effect of pronunciation training on English speaking ability of non-non-native speakers. The method used is the Literature Review method. The results of the study show that pronunciation training has a positive effect on the English-speaking ability of non-non-native speakers. This training helps improve pronunciation, intonation, and accent in speaking English. Non-non-native speakers also experience increased confidence in speaking English after attending pronunciation training. However, the results of the study also show that factors such as difficulties in mastering vocabulary and grammar still affect the ability to speak English as a whole. Therefore, it is advisable to consider pronunciation training as part of a holistic and integrated English learning program with special attention to other aspects such as vocabulary and grammar.

Abstract

Oral communication has emerged as a crucial skill in language acquisition, particularly in learning English. For students learning English as a foreign language, speaking English poses a significant challenge that requires considerable effort to articulate coherent statements. The research focused on identifying psychological factors that impact students' speaking performance, with a particular emphasis on determining which variable has the most significant effect. Data was gathered through observation, questionnaires, and unstructured interviews. The study revealed that despite students' motivation and positive attitude towards English speaking in the classroom, anxiety and lack of self-confidence remain key obstacles that prevent them from speaking confidently. These psychological barriers stem from a fear of erring and being subjected to derision by one's peers. Further, it was found that anxiety was the most psychological factor affecting students’ speaking performance. To address these issues, many students believe that boosting their confidence in speaking English is crucial. This underscores the significance of educators being mindful of the difficulties their students face in speaking English during lessons.

Abstract

The existence of English major in Southwest Papua is still become a big project for universities in improving the number of students to choose English major. Year by year, the new students who take this major is decreased. This is become the big reason to conduct this research that aims to discover the Papuan high school students' perceptions and attitudes towards English majors. The case study design was used to describe this case. This research involved five schools in Sorong and Raja Ampat Regency. The sample of this research was 50 Papuan high school students’ taken from the five schools that participated. In collecting the data, the research used interviews and attitude questionnaires. The result regarding the students' perceptions is that most Papuan students think English is confusing and complex. It is because of the teaching method or strategy that the teacher considers monotone and boring. The pedagogical competence of an English teacher also influences this student's opinion. As an impact, fewer want to pursue English-related careers, like educators or tourism jobs. Most want to become civil servants after graduating from senior high school. Regarding the student's attitude, 86% of respondents have a negative attitude towards the English major. The significant cause is that they previously had no interest or motivation in learning English. As an impact, most of them do not want to choose English as their major at the university level.

Abstract

EFL learners employ a set of learning strategies in their learning of English. Learning strategies are claimed to be “internal mental drive” which EFL learners have in mind. Learning strategies are the internal power which enables EFL learners to acquire the so called language knowledge and language skills. It has been assumed that learning strategies are influenced by cultures of EFL learners. Consequently, EFL learners may employ different learning strategies, provided that EFL learners come from different cultures. This current research aims to disclose that each of EFL learners from the East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT) employs learning strategies, as in fact that in NTT lives many cultures. Specifically, this research treated six EFL learners who are from different cultures. Two learners came from the inland area of Ende (Flores); other two students were from the inland area of Timor and two others were from the city of Kupang, the capital of Kupang Municipality. The results of the research show that these EFL learners use the same learning strategies entailing Metacognitive, cognitive and social mediation strategies. The outstanding discovery of this study is that EFL learners, in their learning, are very much influenced by the so called “instructional learning”. Learning does take place for there is  instruction from their teachers. Autonomous learning, as far as data are concerned, still does not take place. Thus culture, in this study, has no influence to EFL learners in terms of  the use of learning strategies among EFL learners with different cultural background.
