Abstract

The objectives of the present study are four-fold: (1) to identify the types of strategies to maintain proficiency used by teachers of English in Indonesia, (2) to know the intensity of use of the obtained strategy types, (3) to measure the inter-correlation in the use of the obtained strategy types, and (4) to investigate the effect of proficiency level on the use of maintaining strategies. The subjects were 93 teachers applying for S2 degree in 2010/2011 at the postgraduate program of the Islamic University of Malang. They were given two sets of instrument, a Likert-scale questionnaire of English proficiency maintaining strategies and a TOEFL test. Then, a factor analysis identified nine strategy categories, including language focusing, metacognitive and affective developing, reading and writing activating, language resource utilizing, cognitive processing, culture learning, social communicating, text analyzing, and radio listening strategies. These strategy types explained 63.84% of variances of maintaining strategies and they were used at high level of intensity. Moreover, the use of the nine strategy types were found to be inter-correlated with one another. Finally, no significant effect of proficiency level on strategy use was found, indicating that teachers with different level of proficiency reported using the same strategies of maintaining their proficiency.

Abstract

ABSTRACTMeasuring students’ English ability in most universities would be counted from their passing grade on the Test of English as A Foreign Language (TOEFL). Listening to natives is considered a complicated section to answer among the three sections. Thus, EFL learners should focus on attainment strategies to answer the TOEFL preparation test. The current study examines students’ profile of attainment strategy use and how usage of this strategy differs by gender. The sixth English semester students, faculty of education at Universitas Islam Malang, were required to fill out the questionnaire of strategies used to answer the TOEFL. Utilizing the descriptive and independent t-test, the findings reveal that students deployed the strategies at a moderate level. Further, female students used all the strategies more often and significantly differently than their counterparts. This implies that the use of strategies could ease them in obtaining good scores in listening.ABSTRAKMengukur ketrampilan bahasa Inggris mahasiswa di sebagian besar universitas akan dihitung dari nilai kelulusan mereka pada tes TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language).

Abstract: This study aims to predict the relationship among the use of metacognitive reading strategies, motivation, and reading comprehension ability. Thirty-five university students of second semester especially from English Language Department at University of Islam Malang were shared the questionnaires of Reading strategies and motivation followed by answering a reading test. A quantitative method was used with correlational design. The findings implied the students use different strategies when reading text. PROB (Problem-Solving Strategies) was most frequently used in students’ reading activity. They also had high motivation when reading academic text since they are curious about the contents. In reading comprehension aspect, most of students got low predicate or perform below the average. Pearson product moment and spearman rank correlation in SPSS 25 were used to predict the relationship among the variables. The result showed that metacognitive reading strategies cannot be made to predict the increase of reading comprehension ability. Nevertheless, there is a significant correlation between metacognitive reading strategies and motivation. The findings contradict with the findings of most previous studies. Therefore, more investigations need conducting since there are other factors affecting reading comprehension performance such as students’ linguistic knowledge, and also the appropriateness of strategy used. Keywords: reading, metacognitive reading strategies, reading motivation, reading comprehension

Abstract

In Indonesia, the spread of positive cases of Covid-19 has not shown a decreasing graph. Due to the constraints on interaction, the Indonesian Ministry of Education issued a policy, which included closing schools and replacing the Teaching and Learning Activities process with an online system. Online learning is not limited to ordinary students but is also carried out on children with special needs or students with mild mental retardation, which in this case indicates that a person experiences a special disorder that has different characteristics so that special attention and services are needed. In an inclusive school, services for children with special needs are not differentiated from normal students in their class, only learning material is differentiated. The objective of this study is to describe how teaching-learning activities for children with minor mental retardation are implemented. during the covid-19 pandemic and to identify teachers’ perception on teaching English to students with mild mental retardation during the covid-19 pandemic of SMPN 6 Tuban. This study used qualitative research as its method. The English teachers from VIII C and IX B, as well as a special partner teacher from SMPN 6 Tuban, were the subjects of this study. The instruments of this research were observation, interview, and documentation.        The result of this research can be described that this is a new challenge for them because learning activity is done online. During the Covid-19 pandemic, teachers must still be able to provide curriculum and support pupils throughout the learning process. They use the media, method and also apply special principles for students with mild mental retardation. For special companion teachers, the limited face-to-face opportunity twice a week is an opportunity that must be utilized as well as possible because during online learning for students with mild mental retardation is too difficult to understand the material due to the absence of assistance and lack of attention from their parents. The teacher hopes that the students find happiness in learning through online learning classes they enjoy and can understand the material, especially for students with mild mental retardation. Based on the result of this research, the researcher found that in learning English, the activities that are more often used are the drilling method and copying simple words or vocabulary, so the materials and teaching methods used with students with mild mental retardation are different. The outcomes of teachers' perceptions of teaching English to students with mild mental retardation during the Covid-19 pandemic vary greatly, the section on teachers' perceptions reveals that teachers believe that learning English for students with mild mental retardation is difficult to do online because students with mild mental retardation face technological difficulties and obstacles. Because learning is done online, teachers find it more difficult to control the condition and development of students with mild mental retardation.Keywords: mental retardation students, perception
