Abstract

AbstractCommunicative approach has become a popular method used in teaching and learning a language. This method has also been widely used in Indonesia for teaching and learning English. The basic assumption used by this method is that language is a means of communication, so that when learning a language the learners also need to engage in meaningful communicative activity. Thus, typical classroom activities involved many interactions among the language learners and the teachers, for example, role playing, information gap activities, and games. Consequently, for the success of the classroom activity, the students not only need to be taught the language skills needed but also the interpersonal skills. Interpersonal skills defines as the ability to interact effectively with someone and teamwork. Furthermore, interpersonal skills such as leveraging diversity, empathy, leadership, influence, communication, conflict management, and synergy are soft skills that students need to master, especially since Indonesia Education system decided to include soft skills in the curriculum. It means that teacher needs to use teaching methods that can develop students’ hard skills and soft skills.This presentation aims at reporting a research result that investigated the use of communicative approach to teach both language skills and interpersonal skills of the students. A literature review on the communicative approach teaching method and the importance of interpersonal skills for successful communication will be reviewed. Finally, the presentation will discuss about the practical recommendations on how to use the approach, so that it can develop both the language skills and the interpersonal skills of the students.

Abstract

The existence of multi varieties of English in today’s international communication requires the inclusion of what is called World Englishes (WE) in English teaching. While many have attempted to incorporate WE in English classrooms, such clear procedures on how to implement this along with the outcomes are so far hard to find. Therefore, this review elaborates on the implementation of WE, examines the challenges, and highlights the benefits of this incorporation. 18 research articles from the year 2010 to 2019 on the incorporation of WE worldwide starting from school to university context were reviewed. The review reveals that the teaching of WE is mostly still in the introduction phase since a majority of English teachers and learners still prefer the native English varieties. On the other hand, the introduction of WE to English learners may improve their confidence to use English. This review is expected to be able to provide clear current conditions of WE teaching, impose challenges that need to be addressed, and at the same time encourage the incorporation of WE in an English classroom.DOI: 10/26905/enjourme.v7i1/7827

The result found that the most difficult aspects in listening comprehension of short dialogue test were similar sound, uncertainty and suggestion, idiom words, and synonym. It was revealed that the most difficult aspect in listening Part A (short dialogue) is similar sound that was proven from students’ incorrect answer (97%), only 3% of them answered correctly, followed by Uncertainty and Suggestion (94%) and idiom words (94%), only 2% of students answered correctly from each of the aspect, and synonym (90%), 3% of them chose the right answers. The result of interview found that most of them got unfamiliar with the sound, lack of practice and low motivation in learning a foreign language. It can be stated that the most difficult aspect in listening short dialogue is similar sound and the factors that cause them hard to answer short dialogue part come from external (unfamiliar sound) and internal problems (lack of practice and low motivation). Keywords: Listening Comprehension, Short Dialogue Problems, TOEFL Test.
