Abstract

 Suprasegmental features are of paramount importance in spoken English. Yet, these pronunciation features are marginalised in EFL/ESL teaching-learning. This article reported a study that was aimed at improving the students’ mastery of English suprasegmental features through the use of reflective learning method. The study adopted Kemmis and McTaggart’s model of action research (1986) and involved twenty-four undergraduate students at Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto, Indonesia as the subjects. The research consisted of two cycles, and data were gathered through observations, recorded conversations, diaries, interviews, and tests. Overall, the study has shown that reflective method using video integrated into communicative activities enhanced students’ pronunciation mastery. Interestingly, some students’ pronunciation to a great extent sounded ‘more English’.

Kemmis and Taggart’s model of action research was adopted. The study involved twenty-four undergraduate students at Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto, Indonesia. The investigation contained two cycles, each of which comprised three sessions. Data were gathered through observation, recorded conversation, diary, interview, and test. Overall, the study has shown that reflective method using video integrated into communicative activities enhanced student involvement in learning the pronunciation of English suprasegmentals. Students got involved in monitoring and evaluating their own learning. In addition, a majority of the students gave positive response to the instruction. Level of pronunciation mastery rose sharply from only 4.16% of students passing the test in the pre-intervention (baseline) to 65.21% in first cycle, and 73.9% in second cycle. Most students’ pronunciation to some degree sounded “more English”.

Abstract

The English vocabulary mastery of Junior High School students had been in- fluenced by their previous experience of learning English in Elementary School. The study was aimed to examine the influence of the English learning implementa- tion in Elementary School towards the level of students’ English learning achieve- ment in the next stage, Junior High School. For convenience, four Junior High Schools were chosen as sample schools, i..e: SMP Negeri 1, SMP Negeri 8, SMP Al-Irsyad and SMP Susteran in the town of Purwokerto. This type of ex-post facto survey includes 142 students from the first year consisting of 73 students from Elementary Schools which had implemented the English teaching while 69, from schools which had not. To know their achieving of English, the students were given a test on vocabulary which was learned for the first four months.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Most of the literature on pronunciation discusses what and how to teach. The learner, that is actually the center of the teaching and learning process, remains little known or untouched. Meanwhile, suprasegmentals are of paramount importance in spoken English. The presence of suprasegmental features in speech contributes heavily to intelligibility. Suprasegmental features cover mainly stress, length, tone, and intonation. These features are essentially the same as prosodic elements of language. Perhaps, to most EFL (English as Foreign Language) learners in Indonesia, these features are complicated to master. Some teachers of English even did not seem to show interest in introducing the features to students. This article highlights the reflective process within the students learning the English pronunciation. The data were collected through diaries. The students were provided with small notebooks to write entries of reaction, perception, and learning experience when they were being taught English suprasegmental features using reflective method. Video was utilized to facilitate student engaging in reflective process through main teaching and learning activities of listening to target model, rehearsing monologue or dialogue, video-recording, and playing video clip. Overall, the majority of reflections revealed that the adoption of video as a reflective tool integrated into communicative language activities has helped the students evaluate and self-monitor their own speech performance in learning the English suprasegmental features pronunciation, which is commonly considered complicated.   KEY WORDS: Students’ voices, reflective, suprasegmental, pronunciation, evaluate, self-monitor, teaching and learning process, diary, and class-room action research.About the Author: Dr. Suwartono is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of English Language Teaching, Faculty of Education and Teacher Training UMP (Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto), Central Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

In the previous years, the students at the place where the present study was conducted were taught the English connected speech through drill. This used to bring about students’ poor attitudes and unsatisfactory achievement. This study was aimed at examining if selected songs would improve the students’ connected speech performance. Nonequivalent Control Group Design was used in this experimental study. It involved six intact groups of students attending Pronunciation course – three were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the remaining three assigned to the control group. Both groups were pre-tested. The results were equal. After 3 sessions of connected speech lesson both groups were tested again. The post-test results of these two groups were then compared to see if the sample means were significantly different. As the study also aimed to find out the students’ perception towards the teaching practice implemented, a questionnaire was employed. The t-test showed that the difference of the sample means was not significantly large. Nevertheless, based on the feedbacks that were elicited through the questionnaire, the use of songs for teaching the English connected speech seemed to remain promising. Overall, the study showed that the use of songs for teaching the English connected speech tended to indicate a prospective better learning outcome. As the experiment took only 3 sessions, the chance for such treatment to be effective is increased if period of study is extended.

Abstract

In this paper song lyrics are seen as a literary work. They are identical in nature to poems. However, to most of us, song lyrics are more familiar than poems. This paper argues that by appreciating songs (lyrics) one’s philosophical power becomes trained. Its content, that is quite often rich in hermeneutics (related to interpretation), semiotics (related to symbols) and esthetics (related to arts, beauty) – some of the approaches to philosophy, might be responsible for this. For illustrations, four selected, analysed song lyrics have been presented here.

Abstract

This paper presents issues on foreign language use in the context of language education in Indonesia. Some people believe that our “old” language(s) would only hinder the acquisition of a “new” one. Whatever the reason it is wrong to leave the language(s) we have already acquired in attempt to acquire a new one. Even, in the case of our national language, Indonesian, we have to preserve it, develop it and, when possible, upgrade its position among the important languages of the world. One way is by using it properly for communication while learning another (foreign) language. Just as any other skills acquisition, the key to success in a foreign language learning is practice. Since foreign language learning environment is in general not conducive to have automatic practices, hard, deliberate efforts are frequently required for compensation. Unfortunately, only few learners do this. Therefore, our discussion is centered around learner strategies. In relation with this, foreign language teacher professionalism is crucial. Classroom activities he/she develops should be able to create setting for target language intensive use and build learner autonomy – a condition scarcely observed in our language classrooms.

Abstract

Opening plays a very crucial period in the course of a lesson. Just like other expressions to illustrate the energy it gives, the analogies could be “Love at the first sight”, or, “First impression (of you) is so exciting, the rest is up to you”. Lessons opening, when it is made beneficial to the students, serves as a fire trigger, providing them with strong power at the start, and sustains “eternal flame” till the end of the lesson. This article argues the rationale behind it and presents some ways of creating such lessons opening in the context of English language teaching.
