Abstract

There is more freedom nowadays for workers to move across border. One of the promising oppor- tunities is to become an overseas nurse. However, to become an overseas nurse, one needs a certain level of language skills; thus, it is important to embed English, as the world?s lingua franca, in the nursing science course. When the students of the Nursing Department master the English, they will be able to engage in a communication with others within the international scope. It is very important to prepare them with standard, error-free English to prepare them entering the global market. This research tries to figure out the students? language proficiency by viewing their gram- matical errors especially in the S-V agreement. The data were taken from the composition written by Nursing Department students, which were then analyzed using the concordance program, namely SCP 4.05. Using the seven pronouns (I, we, you, they, he, she, it) as the key words, the sentence contexts were examined. Then, the sentences that contain errors were taken and categorized. From this research, there are 5 kinds of students? problems reflected in the errors. They are: 1) sentence without verb, 2) errors in the use of be and stem, 3) inflectional ?s for the third singular person, 4) modals, and 5) auxiliary verb.

Abstract

Technology provides numerous assistances for education, particularly for language learning. By the presence of technology, students get exposures to Internet which enables them to interact and communicate with native speakers, the experience of which may not be available for in-class activi- ties in general. In other words, students are given chances to be exposed to a more interesting and interactive learning instruction. The implementation of e-learning, thus, becomes one alternative to teaching techniques which empowers students to be more active language users. This study high- lights the integration of e-learning into language teaching and learning. It aims to investigate students? perceptions on what opportunities and drawbacks e-learning brings to their language learning. This study involved a private university which offered some courses implementing e- learning. During the courses, the students were required to participate in e-learning inside and outside the classroom. The activities included commenting on a thread, analysing a specific topic or case, submitting assignments, responding to other students? comment or work, taking polls, doing quizzes, and accomplishing a project. The findings from interviewing the six participants revealed some issues related to how they perceived the opportunities that e-learning provided and also the drawbacks that e-learning created.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate learners? perspective on teaching strategies which motivate learners to speak English. Thirty university learners were given questionnaires and one learner was inter- viewed. The 5-point Likert scale questionnaires were interpreted based on ranges of criteria. The interview was used to support or clarify the findings from the questionnaires. This study showed that five teaching strategies: problem-solving strategies, simulation, lecture, role play, and direct con- tact belonged to a strong criterion (mean: 3.00 ? 3.99). It indicated that those strategies motivated learners to speak. In addition, the other five teaching strategies: brainstorming, demonstration, games, large-group discussion, and one-to-one teaching strategies showed the mean score rang- ing from 4.00 to 5.00 which belonged to a very strong criterion indicating that these teaching strategies strongly motivated learners to practice speaking. The current study concluded that the ten teaching strategies motivated learners to speak English; therefore, the use of those teaching strat- egies in teaching speaking skills should be taken into account by teachers and course designers to help learners enhance their speaking skills.

Abstract

Materials and methodology play a significant role in a language classroom. These two elements need to be in line with each other to help achieve the shared learning goals. One of the method- ologies that have been widely employed, but still not well-permeated among teachers in Indonesia is Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). However, not many studies on seeing the relationship between methodology and materials have been conducted. To bridge this gap, this study aims to evaluate the CLT-ness of the national course book Bahasa Inggris untuk SMA/MA/SMK/MAK Kelas X Semester 1. To conduct the evaluation, a checklist adapted from Grant?s and Cunningsworth?s was employed as an evaluation tool. The research findings indicate that while the coursebook made a clear attempt to uphold CLT, as observed from its learning goals for each chapter and the coursebook introduction, several aspects of the coursebook, such as the tasks and activities, needed to be improved.

Abstract

Working collaboratively has been widely promoted in education. In the area of English language teaching and learning, working collaboratively can frequently be seen in speaking activities, in which students were assigned to practice speaking with their peers. Unfortunately, working collaboratively in writing is not as popular as in speaking. This study aims to explore the collabora- tive writing in an EFL context. As a part of a bigger study, the data were collected through out a semester and integrated with weekly meetings, which aimed to reach several objectives through a variety of activities, including group painting, individual writing, and collaborative writing. A total of 64 freshmen that were divided into two groups participated in the study. In the collaborative writing activity, students were instructed to do group painting and write a story written in groups based on their paintings. Each member of the group took turns to write the story, which cohesiveness and coherence should be given attention. Students were given freedom to choose their own topics for painting and writing to encourage them express their ideas. The data were gathered through class observation and students? reflection that was submitted at the end of the semester as a part of class assessment. The observation revealed that students faced some challenges when performing the tasks. Time management, student interdependence, and types of writing were among the issues emerging in collaborative writing activities. From students? reflection, it was found that while most students stated they enjoyed the activities, one student expressed that the collaboration did not work as well as she had expected.

Abstract

Various types of oral assessments such as interviews, presentations and group discussions have commonly been applied at English Education Department of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (EED UMY) to measure students? speaking ability. This research aims to identify both advantages and disadvantages found in the oral assessments applied at EED UMY based on students? perspec- tives. The data were collected using in-depth interviews to six EED UMY students who had taken speaking classes for two semesters. They were interviewed to explore their perception on the advan- tages and disadvantages of the oral assessments they had taken. The findings of this research show that the participants perceived that the oral assessments motivated the students to speak, provided direct feedback, improved students? speaking ability, developed students? communication skills, increased students? self-confidence, and enabled students to share ideas. On the other hand, in addition to insufficient time allocation, the participants also revealed that increased nervousness frequently occurred during oral assessments.

Abstract

Literature-based Approach (LbA) is popularly used in reading. In implementing the approach, teachers use literary works to be read by students. The literary works that the students read to get the language input are commonly authentic which means that by reading the texts, students can identify a model of language and several aspects of language such as expression, vocabulary, grammar, and culture and how to use them in a real context. Realizing the importance of input, a teacher in a university in Indonesia implemented this approach in a reading class for freshmen. This research which belongs to descriptive qualitative research put attention on investigating what the students perceived toward the implementation of the LbA to assist them in vocabulary building. The data were collected by interviewing five students who were chosen because it was their first time reading an English language novel and they were the top six students in terms of vocabulary scores. To interview the participants who are presented using pseudonym, a semi guided interview guide- line was used as an instrument. The research results show that students were anxious joining this class at the beginning. However, after some meetings and reading several pages, they started to enjoy reading the novel because the novel was interesting and entertaining. In addition, the topic was closely related to their daily life. After getting new words, one of participants wrote them on paper and stuck it on her room wall. Four other students wrote the words on a notebook as a vocabulary journal. Besides by doing those things to help them recall the words, the students also used them in retelling quizzes for writing and in daily conversation with mates for speaking.
