Abstract

This study is intended to explore the teachers’ perception toward their professional development in teaching English at senior high schools in Bireuen.  This study employs a qualitative design in collecting and analyzing the data.To collect the data, 30 English teachers of 146 English teachers in Kabupaten Bireuen were randomly chosen as the participants. A set of Likert Scale questionnaires was given to 30 teachers and 10 of the teachers were interviewed by using a guided interview to explore the general perception about the teachers’ perception toward their professional development and their effort to improve their professionalism in teaching English. The finding revealed that the English teachers in Kabupaten Bireuen presumed themselves as professionals in doing their occupation. It is due to their perception that they accomplished the four pre-requirement competencies namely pedagogical, social, personal, and professional. They improved pedagogical competence by collecting teaching materials from the internet, books, and their seniors and learning about new teaching methods. They improved their competence by building a good relationship with students, parents, and school stakeholders.The teachers improved their professional competence by joining the forum of subject matter teacher (MGMP), attending education seminars, training, and workshops, and they improved the competence by behaving with good characters.

The study aimed to investigate the effects of using comedy movies with peer support on students’ speaking skills and students’ responses toward the implementation of using comedy movies with peer support. In doing this, 60 students of class X at SMAN 2 Peusangan Bireuen were chosen as the samples. The data were collected by giving tests and questionnaires.  The data from the speaking test were analyzed by using IBM Statistic SPSS version 23. Meanwhile, the data from questionnaires were analyzed by using a percentage formula. The finding revealed that there was a significant difference in the post-test scores of the students who were taught speaking by using comedy movies with peer support strategies and those who were taught speaking without using comedy movies with peer support strategy. The mean score of the posttest on the experimental group was 75.93. Meanwhile, the mean score of posttest on the control group was 67.50. The result of the t-test score showed the score difference was significant (-1.96 9.50 1. 96).  Moreover, the students gave positive responses toward using comedy movies with peer support in teaching speaking. They also faced some difficulties in learning speaking by using comedy movies with peer support strategy.

Abstract

Foreign language students may face difficulties in developing speaking skills due to the reasons of lacking the opportunity to speak, the inhibition or enxity, and lacking the motivation to study. This study aimed to investigate the implementation of Experiential Learning Method as an effort to solve such problems. Thus, there were two objectives in this study which were to examine the difference of speaking achievement on the use of Experiential Learning Method and to find out the students’ responses toward the method. The sample was taken by using random sampling from the population of the first grade students at SMAN1 Banda Aceh in the 2019/2020 academic year. Two classes were taken as the sample, each for experimental class and control class. The data were analyzed by using t-test through SPSS for speaking test and percentage for questionnaire. The result showed that Experiential Learning Method was more effective than conventional method (teacher centred) to teach speaking. Also, the students had a quite positive response to the use of Experiential Learning Method in their speaking class. It can be concluded that the Experiential Learning Method provides a positive contribution for the development of the students’ speaking performance.
