Abstract

Learner-centered teaching is a teaching approach that is increasingly being encouraged in education. In Indonesia, learner-centered teaching has been an obligation for teachers to be implemented since the government decided to try out the new designed curriculum, the 2013 curriculum. However, it is not always effective since teachers are lack of creativity, lack of responsibility and knowledge. Therefore, this study was sought to find out teacher’s efforts and their roles in implementing learner-centered teaching effectively. The study involving two English teachers revealed that several efforts done by teachers in learner-centered teaching are; 1) let the students do the hard messy work of learning because they are not passive recipients of knowledge, 2) give autonomy and responsibility to students for material they learn and their own learning in general, 3) use highly engaging core content that meets the needs of the students, 4) give feedback to help students to improve, and 4) utilize multiple teaching techniques appropriate for student learning goals. Several roles of teachers in learner-centered teaching are as guides, facilitator and coaches. Teachers also play important roles in creating an environment that fosters students’ learning, accommodates different learning styles, and motivates students to accept responsibility for learning.Keywords: Learner-centered teaching, teaching approach, teachers’ efforts roles

Abstract

Studies reported that education in Indonesia has not been promoting learner autonomy as the main goal of the learning process. In fact, it could be one of the solutions to improve the quality of Indonesian students and a key goal for tertiary English learning. This explorative study was conducted to find out lecturer’s beliefs about learner autonomy and the activities done by the lecturers to foster learner autonomy. Seventeen lecturers from English Education Study Program were voluntarily investigated and interviewed. Questionnaires about Teachers' Beliefs about Learner Autonomy compiled by Borg and Al-Busaidi (2012) were also employed in this study. The study revealed that majority of students were assessed to be not autonomous yet and there were various efforts and activities done by the lecturers to improve learner autonomy, such as providing a project based assignment, recommending a specific web and English mobile applications to assist their learning, keep motivating the students, fostering reading habit, involving students to select materials, and applying various teaching methodology.Keywords: learner autonomy; teacher’s beliefs; fostering learner autonomy; EFL; tertiary education.

Abstract

The problem behind this community service is related to the low interest in reading for school-age children and inactive Nusa Persada youth organization in Kalimanggiswetan village. Therefore, the solution offered to solve this problem is by establishing a Taman Baca directly and coaching youth groups in managing the Taman Baca.

Abstract

This paper discusses the phenomenon of students’ inhibitions in speaking skill in Senior High School 2 Kuningan and the solutions. The data which were collected from observation, and interview were analyzed qualitatively. The research participants were 35 students of XI IPS 3 of Senior High School 2 Kuningan. It was found that 5 of 35 students (14.29%) had high score of inhibitions signs ( 60%). As a result, it was found that students’ inhibitions in speaking skill were influenced by internal (low cognitive aspects, and psychological aspects) and external factors (teacher’s role in speaking classroom, classroom atmosphere, and English as foreign language). In order to reduce the inhibitions, the teacher should speak more slowly, create a friendly atmosphere, improve speaking practices, and give appropriate feedback, while the students can explore vocabulary, and ask to a friend whose speaking is better. It is suggested for further researchers to investigate other inhibitions of students speaking skill and the solutions or conduct similar research with different framework.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang dilakukan di Taman Baca Nusa Persada desa Kalimanggiswetan ini berfokus pada peningkatan motivasi anak-anak dalam belajar Bahasa Inggris sehingga diharapkan dapat memberikan dampak pada peningkatan kosakata bahasa Inggris mereka. Hal ini dilatar belakangi oleh rendahnya motivasi anak-anak usia sekolah dari jenjang Sekolah Dasar sampai Sekolah Menengah Atas yang masih menganggap mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris adalah mata pelajaran yang sulit. Beberapa alasan diperoleh dari siswa-siswi secara acak diantaranya adalah metode pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris yang masih berfokus pada guru, berfokus pada teksbook dan tata bahasa, kurangnya variasi metode, strategi dan teknik pembelajaran bahasa Inggris yang mampu meningkatkan motivasi mereka belajar Bahasa Inggris, serta minimnya praktek penggunaan bahasa Inggris secara langsung. Oleh karena itu, tidak heran jika banyak sekali siswa-siswi pada jenjang SD, SMP dan SMA masih kewalahan dalam memahami bahasa Inggris apalagi ketika diminta berbicara Bahasa Inggris, padahal salah satu keterampilan yang sangat diperlukan pada abad 21 ini adalah komunikasi, dan komunikasi berbahasa Inggris akan sangat bermanfaat bagi siswa-siswi untuk mempersiapkan masa depan yang lebih cerah lagi. Berdasarkan permasalahan ini, solusi yang ditawarkan adalah dengan mengundang seorang bule Eropa tepatnya bule Serbia yang juga seorang youtuber populer  yang bagus bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Indonesianya. Hal ini diharapkan dapat menumbuhkan motivasi belajar Bahasa Inggris serta memberikan pengalaman belajar yang berbeda dengan apa yang dialami di sekolah. Dengan bertempat di taman baca Nusa Persada, Desa Kalimanggiswetan dan mengangkat tema ‘Ngobrol dengan Bule’, kegiatan pengabdian ini menawarkan beberapa kegiatan kreatif terkait pembelajaran bahasa Inggris serta peningkatan wawasan kebudayaan terkait negara bule tersebut.
