Abstract

Abstract Referring to the latest curriculum, School-Based Curriculum, every English textbook should provide genres based on the level of literacy of each grade. On this paper, I analyzed English textbooks published by Erlangga – English on Sky (EOS), and by Pakar Raya -- Let’s Talk. This paper focuses on how are the reading passages of the textbooks compatible with “Standard Isi”?. Coinciding with the statement of the problems, the objectives of this paper are to describe the generic structures of the texts, the types of text, linguistic features, social purposes, and then their compatibility to “Standar Isi”. There are some crucial problems found such; the types of text provided in EOS were Descriptive (80%) and Procedure (20%), whereas in Let’s Talk were Descriptive (57.2%) and Procedure (42.8%). Looking at the percentage of both text types, I found a crucial problem in EOS on some texts and in applying simple continuous tense in descriptive text. To sum up the result, I conclude that Let’s Talk is more compatible than EOS. Keywords: Genre, text, social purpose, generic structure, linguistic features, School-Based Curriculum (KTSP), English textbook, communicative competence, “Standar Isi”.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan tipe dan latar belakang fosilisasi fonetik yang diucapkan oleh mahasiswa semester 5 Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris di Universitas PGRI Semarang tahun 2014/2015. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian deskriptif dengan data kualitatif. Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah para mahasiswa semester 5 yang mengambil mata kuliah English Phonology dengan jumlahmahasiswa 200. Sampel penelitian adalah kelas 5E, kelas yang paling aktif dan dominan.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hanya 15% kata di dalam kuesioner penelitian yang berhasil dilafalkan dengan baik oleh para responden. Itu artinya bahwa fosilisasi fonetik dilakukan lebih dari 75% responden. Tipe kesalahan yang dibuat adalah tipe fosilisasi fonetik baik dalam kategori perseorangan maupun kelompok, sementara itu alasan-alasan mereka melakukan kesalahan adalah; 1)Simbol fonetik yang masih tidak familier bagi mahasiswa semester. 2) Terdapat habituasi dan kebiasaan-kebiasaan yang merujuk pada dua faktor: internal dan eksternal. Faktor internalnya adalah mahasiswa itu sendiri, yang berarti motivasi untuk belajar dan hasrat untuk lebih dalam mempelajari simbol -simbol fonetik. Faktor eksternalnya merujuk pada proses pembelajaran dan sudut pandang dosen. 3) Metode yang digunakan oleh para dosen pengampu mata kuliah English Phonology and Pronounciation. Masalah ini harus diturunkan karena 90% dari mahasiswa menyatakan di dalam wawancara bahwa mereka sangat tertarik dengan subjek ini danjuga menyatakan bahwa para dosen tidak memberikan tekanan, namun faktanya persentase kesalahan dalam pelafalan di atas rata-rata.Berdasarkan pada hasil-haasil ini, peneliti memberika saran sebagai berikut; 1) Permasalahan ini menjadi tugas bagi seluruh dosen bahasa Inggris, tidak hanya dosen yang mengajar mata kuliah English Phonology and Pronunciation. 2) Simbolsimbol fonetik harus diterapkan secara intensif dan integral sehingga para mahasiswa dapat familier dengan simbol-simbol tersebut. 3) Kebutuhan akan penelitian lebih lanjut yang terkait dengan metode-metode yang digunakan oleh para dosen.Kata kunci: fosilisasi fonetik, mahasiswa semester 5, pendidikan bahasa Inggris

Abstract

This study aims at finding out teachers’ perception, knowledge and behaviour of HOTS in 2013 curriculum and finding out learning model mostly applied by the teachers. It is a descriptive qualitative study which involves 12 English teachers of SMAN 10, SMAN 12, SMAN 14, SMAN 15, and SMAN 8 of Semarang as the participants. Observation checklist, questionnaire and in-depth interview were used to obtain the data. The result showed that the teachers’ perception, knowledge and behaviour is very good (5%), good (85%), and enough (10%). Therefore, it is not enough to have this level of perception, knowledge and behaviour to achieve the 21st century skills. Problem based learning (70%) is the most used learning models among other (each 10%). It relates to teachers’ perception that problem based learning suits learning English language where problem comes first then the students find out the answer/solution. That is the reason why not all of learning models can be easily applied in the classroom. The urgency of conducting HOTS workshop is very high. The time allotment used in applying every learning model need to be reconsidered by the government.
