Abstract

Mastery of foreign languages, especially English, is very important in efforts to improve the quality of human resources in the world of education. By imposing international quality standards, a campus has committed to enter a management domain that is no longer based on local quality standards and demands. Bilingual delivery of materials is a mandatory requirement for international standard schools. Of course, this is impossible if the teachers/teachers do not have English language competence. TOEFL equivalent English training is one of the efforts that can be done to improve the ability to master English for Mathematics students. Therefore, a TOEFL Preparation Course training program was conducted for students of the Mathematics Education study program FKIP Unbar to improve students' English skills. This program is carried out for 4 months. The training is divided into three basic skills, namely, Listening, Structure and Written Expression, and Reading Comprehension. Each session is held for 90 minutes with a balance of theory and practice in the form of working on practice questions. Meanwhile, to determine the initial and final abilities of the participants, a pre-test and post-test were carried out with TOEFL equivalent English test material. The results of this activity showed that students were satisfied and enthusiastic about participating in the training. In addition, there was an increase in students' English skills as indicated by an increase in post-test scores.

Abstract

Reading comprehension strategies define as plans and sets of steps used by efficient readers to understand the text intentionally. Instruction of comprehension strategy helps students  becoming efficient readers who select and apply multiple skills suited to a text, their level of background knowledge, and intended purpose as they construct meaning. But before that outcome can be achieved, the students must be taught useful reading skills, allowed enough time for supported practice with each and be provided with models of strategies integration across multiple texts for authentic purposes.  With an effective and efficient information and suggestions available for teaching students skills, how to use them strategically for comprehension and word learning becomes essential. FIVES (Fact, Inferences, Vocabulary, Experience, Summary) strategy accomodates these high levels of competence instruction in  literacy processes and content-specific knowledge and skills.  This paper discusses theoretical background of  FIVES strategy and how this strategy might be employed in the classroom.

The result of this study found that the students had the organization of paragraph, grammatical and mechanics problems in writing a paragraph. The most typical difficulty was the organization of paragraph problems in writing concluding sentences (90,3%). Secondly, grammatical problem in using adjective (77,4%), article (64,5%), and verb (58,1%). Third, mechanics problem in punctuation (38,7%). Lastly, based on the interview, these problems arise from the students' used Google Translate more often in finishing their writing. They translated their paragraph in Bahasa Indonesia into English directly without paying attention to the aspects of writing a paragraph. It made them difficult in choosing the appropriate words. For the next study, it was suggested to further investigate another aspect of grammatical (preposition, transition word, and conjunctions) and mechanics of writing such as content and organization. It implies that writing skills should be included in course design to enhance student’s ability in writing.
