Writing activities like this are designed to give reinforcement to students. Another kind of writing for learning to occur is when we have students write sentences in preparation for some other activities.

Abstract

Given the prominence of corrective feedback, particularly in educational context, has been reported by related studies in SLA (White, 1987; Lyster& Ranta, 1997). However, many teachers failed to develop second language acquisition through corrective feedback since they didn’t meet the effective ways in giving error correction (Hendrickson, 1976 as cited in Krashen, 1982). Given to these concerns, this study aims to investigate corrective feedback used as perceived by both EFL teacher as well as students in speaking classroom. To collect the data, this study employed open ended questionnaire, and structured interview. The findings reveal that the teacher and students perceived positively toward the importance of corrective feedback used in their speaking performance. Additionally, the explicit feedback given at the end of the students’ speaking applied by the teacher is also considered as an effective way to correct errors as perceived by students.

Abstract

AbstractSince argumentative writing skills play an indispensable role in higher educational contexts, the students are required to produce academic works representing their academic insights and critical perspectives towards problematized issues around them. Conversely, the students may frequently encounter intricacies while applying complicated syntactic forms and proper aspects during writing Discussion essays as one of the argumentative writing genres. For this reason, the current study aimed at exploring how Talk-Write technique facilitates the students in writing Discussion essays. This study involved 30 EFL students and an experienced writing teacher at a university in Indonesia. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis following the notions of Talk-Write (Meyers, 1985; Ling, 1986; Radcliffe: Crasnich & Lumbelli, 2005). The findings indicated that Talk-Write technique enables the students to produce the Discussion essays. Besides, it stimulated them to speak actively in English while negotiating ideas, exchanging debatable arguments and positioning stance and voice. Briefly, Talk-Write technique can facilitate the students in exchanging vocal to scribal dialogue, gaining pivotal and desired ideas and fostering professional competencies as the talkers and the writers and personal styles.Keywords: Talk-Write technique, Discussion essays, Argumentative writing skills

Abstract

Recently, although teaching and learning English pronunciation has gained much attention from the linguists and TESOL practitioners, the students’ English pronunciation at the English Education Department of Siliwangi University may still remain under-researched. This study was aimed at scrutinizing how the students’ English pronunciation at the English Education Department of Siliwangi University is. Twenty six students participated in this study. The data were collected through reading aloud task. The data were analyzed with Wolcott’s data analysis procedures, namely description, analysis and interpretation (Wolcott as cited in Gibson & Brown, 2009:5). The findings indicated that the students presumably faced difficulties in producing not only suprasegmental but also segmental features. Hence, more emphasis should be addressed on the balanced proportion of teaching and learning the English segmental and suprasegmental features to attain intelligibility as the primary goal of teaching English pronunciation currently.
