Based on the observations during pronunciationpractice classes towards the performances in pronouncing the inflectionalsuffixes -s and -es of the English learners or students in the first semesterof the English Language Education Department of the Faculty of TeacherTraining and Education in Universitas PGRI Adi Buana Surabaya, it turnsout that employing Jazz Chants has made it easier for the learners to beaware of the different ways of pronouncing the inflectional suffixes –sand–es(/s/, /z/, and /ɪz or əz/) in different type of the final sound of a word.In other words, the learners‘ pronunciation of inflectional suffixes –s and–es is promoted through the implementation of Jazz Chants duringpronunciation practices.

Abstract

What makes learners shun speaking English in the classroom?Are they are shy, lack of confidence or afraid of making grammaticalmistakes? One of many ways to overcome this problem is by usingcooperative learning. In cooperative learning, the undergraduates areencouraged to work in small groups in order to create3-D miniaturemodels and finally gallery walk. In the Universitas PGRI Adi Buana(UNIPA), there is an activity named ―Amazing UNIPA Race‖. An activityencourages students to use verbal communication during Cross CulturalUnderstanding (CCU) class. Students work in small groups and must alsobe a team player. Amazing UNIPA Race promotes fun learning activityand students‘ creativity in creating 3-D miniature models. Therefore, thispaper is intended to share and provide an activity as a model wherestudents are motivated to speak and enjoy fun activities. This paper ispresented as a hands-on experience of the Amazing UNIPA Race to theparticipants who want to use it for their classroom teaching.

Abstract

This ex post facto study examines the correlation and theeffectiveness of the language learning strategies on engineering students‘listening comprehension. Further, it strives to figure out the most effectivelearning strategies in improving their listening comprehension. They wereasked to answer both Strategy Inventory for Language LearningQuestionnaire (Oxford, 1990) and ESP Listening Comprehension Test asthe research instruments. The data findings were then classified andanalyzed by applying statistical analysis including Correlational Analysis,Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey‘s HSD test. The researchfindings bring to light the correlation between language learning strategiesand engineering students‘ listening comprehension. The highestcorrelation can be gained by compensation strategy (with correlation value0,16) and cognitive strategy group (with correlation value -0,14).Meanwhile, the effectiveness of diverse learning strategies on engineeringstudents‘ listening comprehension has been proven through ANOVAcalculation (F-ratio 2,85 higher than F table 2,00 and p-value 0,007 less than ρ 0.05). A combined metacognitive and affective strategy is revealedas the most effective learning strategy to improve engineering students‘listening comprehension. As a pedagogical implication, English teachersshould encourage the development of ESP learners‘ awareness of learningstrategies and affection for L2 listening as the first possible keys to success in ESP learning.

Abstract

Teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) in Indonesia offers not only challenges but also reward. Some teachers perceive the challenges as the professional consequences for their determination to be English teachers. Such a perception leads them to the enjoyment and optimism toward their sustainable professional development or career escalation. Some others consider the challenges as such a heavy burden of life that they feel unmotivated to elevate their professional development. In this era of education standardization, teachers are faced with two dichotomous options: satisfying the standard optimally in order to deserve the professional rewards or benefits or just fulfilling it minimally and accordingly miss the career advancement and the professional reward. This paper shares the ideas of what English teachers need to do to survive professionally in their English teaching and gain the professional benefits offered.
