Abstract

The use of multimedia technologies in education has enabled teachers to simulate final outcomes and assist students in applying knowledge learned from textbooks, thereby compensating for the deficiency of traditional teaching methods. It is important to examine how effective the technologies are in practical use. The purpose of the study was to describe the implementation of interactive multimedia and to describe the level of defiance of the eighth grade students of SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Surakarta in learning of Simple Present Tense.  The study utilized a teaching experiment with a non-equivalent pretest-posttest experimental group design to test and discuss students’ professional cognition, operating skill cognition, and level of learning achievement during the learning process. No significant differences emerged between the groups in regards to professional cognition or operation skills cognition. However, a significant difference in learning achievement was noted, indicating that the treatment with multimedia produced greater achievement than with traditional learning methods. Results are explained in detail and recommendations for further research provided. The result showed that teaching learning process by using multimedia is not only helping teacher in delivering the target language but also motivating the students in learning where it providesaudio and visual materials that make the students attract to the lesson and give more attention to it.

Abstract

There was an argument that native English teachers have many advantages than non-native English teachers and students preferred native to non-native teachers; however, the argument had to be assessed. Many researchers had been exploring students’ perceptions of native and non-native English teachers worldwide in formal education institutions. This study aimed to explore students’ perceptions of native and non-native English teachers in a non-formal education institution. This was a qualitative study based on a descriptive approach conducted using three instruments: close-ended questionnaire, semi-structured interview, and documentation. The study revealed that native and non-native English teachers had their own specific roles in the Indonesian context. Students needed native more than non-native teachers because the latter were bilingual having the same mother tongue as them, and they enabled a successful learning process because of the effective learning strategies they shared. Also, non-native teachers helped students deal with difficulties and challenges in their learning process.
