Abstract

The study was carried out to describe English teachers’ literacy competence in English literature which had a very important role in the teaching of English language through literature to strengthen character educational values. The study applied descriptive statistics in the forms of frequencies “to describe and summarize the data.” In reporting the data, percentages were used (Leavy, 2017: 111). The respondents of the study consisted of fifteen English language teachers working for five senior high schools organizing special interest classes in languages. The techniques for collecting data were questionnaires and FGD (focus group discussion). The data were analyzed by using quantitative descriptive techniques consisting of central tendency and percentage analysis. The results of the study showed that all the teachers got between two and fourteen credits in literature from their undergraduate colleges. Their reading hours in literature after graduation did not show any regular base. This was particularly due to the fact that the portion of literature materials to be taught to the students was very limited. Thus, they thought that it was not necessitated to develop literary competence to support their teaching activities. However, all of them agreed that the teaching of literature to high school students was important and useful to improve their language skills as well as their character educational values.

Abstract

It cannot be denied that children nowadays are very familiar with Internet. They mostly use internet connection for playing games rather than supporting their school assignments. Most online games the children play are imported from abroad so that language used is mostly English. As a result, children frequently pick up many English words from the game naturally. The present study is the continuous study of the vocabulary learning strategy mapping among 28 primary school students on grade 5 using the VOLSQUES survey. From the survey, the researcher found that 29% respondents chose internet as the source of their English vocabulary input. Started from this finding, the researcher continue the study by conducting descriptive qualitative research on those 29% respondents. The focus is on recognizing the Internet content commonly the respondents use and type of English vocabulary input they gain. All the respondents admit that they frequently play online games, especially the Mobile Legend game. The interesting result is that the participants are mostly unable to read and write the English words they recognize from the game correctly. This is understandable since the children listen from the game narrators. Besides, the typical English words they acquire are instructions.

It was adopted the model of IELTS test which consisted of three parts, used the TSE scoring scale and ETS rater system. All aspects in this test follow the compulsory requirements of a test such as reliability, validity, practicality, and impact. The test was a face-to-face interview test (Weir, 2005, p. 143). Time allocated for the entire test was not more than 15 minutes. The data taken from the five chosen trial students of semester 5. The actual test design was intended for the student of semester 4, but the examiner and the rater were the real ones. However, the age, learning background, and the general proficiency level of these five trial students were nearly similar to the intended candidates for the test design.  Since the TSE was not familiar to the students, the students got two kinds of score. The first final result of the TSE score were between 40–50. The second final result was scored using the range of 100. It showed between 66.7–83.3.  Both of the final results showed that this new design really tested the progress of the students. The design met the students’ needs and evaluates the course. This innovative model of test was proposed to be trialled in the progress test in semester 4 next year.Keywords: Speaking Test, IELTS model

Abstract

This essay aims at comparing and contrasting the English and Javanese with respect to the sound inventories completed.

While English has 24 consonants and 12 vowels (Fromkin et al. 2008, p. 216) and Javanese has 23 consonants and 6 vowels (Ager 2009; Wedhawati & Arifin 2006, p. 65).  In sum, the sound the English and Javanese inventories are both similar and different in several respects to how their consonants and vowels are produced and where in the mouth they are produced. Additionally, by comparing two languages, it can be seen that some sounds exist in one language but does not exist in another.
