Abstract

Autonomy in language learning suggests that students control their own learning (Benson, 2001). Students’ control over their own learning consists of three aspects, namely controls over learning management, cognitive process and learning content. This paper aims at exploring stu-dents’ control over learning management while working on project-based English language learn-ing, namely the collaborative audio-journal project. It is argued that project-based language learn-ing provides a principled and practicable route toward autonomy (Thomas, 1991, cited in Benson, 2001: 21).In this regards,students themselves plan, monitor, solve problems, and evaluate the pro-ject accomplishment without much intervention from the teacher. A qualitative method was employed in this study. Two instruments were used to obtain the data, namely reflection sheet and interview. The results obtained from the study revealed that students employed four major controls over learning management, including planning, problem solving, monitoring, and evaluating. The planning included time and quality, creativity, and strategy. The students also encountered the constraints, such as time management, language proficiency, and laziness, which entailed problem solving strategies. The monitoring included rereading, re-listening, and comparing. Lastly, the students conducted self-evaluation on the process and the product. Key words: learner autonomy, project-based language learning, andcontrol over learning man-agement.

Abstract

This study investigates factors supporting and hindering the implementation or the use of English by the students of International Class Program (ICP) Faculty of Tarbiyah, UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. The primary purpose of this study is to provide recommendations for the Faculty especially the program coor-dinator to acknowledge the problems that need to be solved. This study involved a number of students joining the program. To obtain the data, interviews and questionnaires were distributed to 30 students. After analyz-ing the data, factors supporting and hindering the use of English at ICP were identified. Factors supporting the program are: (1) the students’ motivation, (2) the role of lecturers, and (3) the instructional materials. However, some factors hindering the program include: (1) not all students had an electronic English diction-ary, (2) both the lecturers and the students were inconsistent to use English, (3) the poor students’ English mastery sometimes also hindered the teaching process, (4) there was no language forums held in English, (5) there was no language lab, (6) the students had not been aware of the importance of practicing English, (7) the ICP students claimed that most of the materials they learned were written in Indonesian. The program coordinator acknowledges the students’ interest in learning English. As has been stated before, most of the students have high motivation to learn English. Thus, the program coordinator (1) should notice this and be very sensitive with this situation, because the students’ motivation is a very important thing in gaining more English development, needs to give extended role to the lecturers. They are required not only teaching the content materials but also some aspects of English entities, (3) needs to explain clearly that both lecturers and students need to make an agreement regarding the consistency of using English. Key words: factors supporting, factors hindering, International Class Program (ICP)

Abstract

The idea of removing English for elementary school in 2013 curriculum has shocked the Indonesian education practitioners. So far, English has been considered as a favorite and prestigious subject for some modern elementary schools. English lessons is claimed to be important and is still needed by the young learn-ers. Given the context of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teaching English in Indonesia, of course, may not equate with the teaching of English in Singapore where English is in the context of ESL (English as a Second Language). As the right method and strategy may be given to the learners, the development of lan-guage skills for children aged 6-12 years-old will not be disturbed. Then if the mother tongue, that is Bahasa Indonesia, would not be a mess if at the same time the students need to learn a foreign language. In the end, learning English will not lose identity or sense of nationalism of the students. Keywords: Young learners, English, 2013 Curriculum
