Abstract

Abstract: The aims of this correlational study were to find out whether or not (1) there was a significant correlation between thinking styles and language learning strategies of the English Education Study Program students of FKIP Sriwijaya University, (2) there were significant correlations among each category of thinking styles to each category of languange learning strategies, and (3) there were any contributions of students’ thinking styles to their language learning strategies. The sample of this study was the English Education Study Program students of FKIP Sriwijaya University in the Academic Year 2013/2014. To collect the data, Thinking Styles Inventory (TSI) and Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) were used. The data were analyzed by using correlational and regression analyses. The result showed that there was a positive correlation between students’ thinking styles and language learning strategies. Significant correlations were also shown by each category of thinking styles and languange learning strategies. However, further calculation by using multiple regression analyses showed that the contribution of thinking styles to students’ language learning strategies was only 38.5%, suggesting that thinking styles did not give much contribution to students’ language learning strategies. It is implied that English teacher should pay attention to students’ different thinking styles and language learning strategies. Besides that, English teacher should care of other factors that can influence students’ learning.    Key words: correlation, thinking styles, language learning strategies

Barsch’s learning style inventory, a classroom environment questionnaire, and a listening comprehension test were used to collect the data from  211 English Education Study Program students of Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sriwijaya University.  The findings showed that most of the students were visual learners. In terms of classroom environment, they were at the high satisfactory of it. However, their listening comprehension result showed that most of them were in Poor category. The result of the correlational analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between the predictor variables (learning styles together with classroom environment) and the criterion variable (listening comprehension). Specifically, there were two aspects of listening comprehension (auditory and kinaesthetic learning styles) and two aspects of classroom environment (personalization and involvement) that had significant correlation with listening comprehension. These four aspects gave contribution 5.3% to the criterion variable.Keywords: learning styles, classroom environment, listening comprehension

The objectives of this study were to find out: (1) whether or not there was a significant improvement in speaking skill of students who were exposed to chain storytelling and (2) whether or not there was a significant difference in speaking skill between students who were exposed to chain storytelling and those who were not. The sample of this study was 60 tenth grade students of SMA Srijaya Negara, which were divided into control and experimental group, and each group had 30 students. To collect the data, each group was assigned pretest and post test. The data analyses used paired sample t test and independent sample t test in SPSS. The result from paired sample t test showed that the mean difference in post test and pretest of experimental group was 16.000 at the significance level of p<0.05 and since t obtained was higher than t table (9.649>2.04523), H01 was rejected and there was a significant improvement in speaking skill of experimental group. The highest contribution was given by story elaboration aspect (content), and then followed by pronunciation, vocabulary, fluency and grammar. The result from independent sample t test showed that the mean difference between post test of experimental group and control group was 2.4000 at the significance level of p>0.05 with t obtained<t table (0.942<2.00171), since t obtained was lower than t table, H02 was accepted and there was no significant difference in speaking skill between students who were taught by using chain storytelling and those who were not. Nevertheless, the mean difference from the experimental group was higher than that of control group (16.600>7.133). Keywords: teaching speaking, chain storytelling

Abstract

Abstract:In Indonesia, English has been introduced into school curriculum since junior secondary schools at the first grade though some elementary schools have English as their local content since the fourth grade. Indonesian government has been engaged in activities for many years with the aim of improving the English competency of school graduates in the country. However, the reality has been too far from the expectation. The English skills’ output of the students is still categorized into a low proficiency level. As stated in Education First, English Proficiency Index (EPI) in Indonesia in 2018 is ranked 51 out of 88 countries in the world. Therefore, there needs to be an explanation of what makes Indonesian students’ English proficiency low and how to teach or learn English by considering language acquisition theories, namely behaviorism, innatism, and interactionism. It is the purpose of this paper to briefly explain about these issues. Keywords: behaviorism, innatism, interactionism, English, teaching, learning
