Abstract

In selecting the appropriate literary texts to be used as the material in teaching reading comprehension, we have to consider a number of criteria. The criteria for valid literary texts to be used in teaching reading comprehension are the types of the literary texts, the students’ proficiency level, and the themes that will suit the students’ interest. Still, the teacher’s creativity in developing the material is still needed to support the achievement of the teaching-learning goals. This paper is intended for selecting the suitable literary material for teaching reading comprehension for the third year of SMU students. This paper begins with the discussion of the purposes of using literary texts in teaching reading comprehension. It is followed by the nature of literary texts and the nature of reading comprehension. Later in this paper the criteria of texts selection will also be discussed

Abstract

In modern life, people cannot avoid persuasion from advertisements. Advertisers employ techniques to make claims for their products. The advertisers promise and claim in such a way that consumers may buy the products even when they do not really need them. People may disagree with and question the promises and claims of advertisements. The fact is that more consumers including students believe promises and claims in the advertisements than those who question them. Consumers who question the promises and claims of advertisements argue that advertising is childish, dumb, and a bunch of lies. This article discusses the language of advertising and how advertisers persuade and argue. To clarify the discusion, examples of claims used in the advertisements are given.

Abstract

The purpose of the research was to find out whether there is a correlation between intrinsic motivation and speaking proficiency. The correlation research was conducted with the assistance of a motivational questionnaire and speaking proficiency level as the instruments. Twenty nine respondents, who were the students of the English Department of Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya, participated in the research. They took part in filling out the questionnaire and giving out their recent Speaking Class grade. The data gathered were soon correlated using Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient formula. The findings show that there is a moderate correlation between intrinsic motivation and speaking proficiency. Having Intrinsic Motivation in the process of learning a foreign/second language helps people to achieve better speaking proficiency. And through the research, the writer suggests that motivation is indeed an important factor for the success of language learning and acquisition in all aspects and skills; therefore, educators and learners should perceive the importance of being intrinsically motivated. The writer also suggests that in the future time, there should be deeper researches regarding the types of motivation, as well as the orientations of motivation.

Abstract

This case study was conducted to explore the speech modification by science teachers in presenting science in English. There were two subjects, science teachers at the third and fourth grade levels. The data were collected by recording the teachers’ voice while they were teaching science in their class and interview protocols. The findings show that the teachers have done some points as theoretically claimed. In focus on key words, the teachers in all meeting did not introduce the new words more than twelve. Sometimes the teachers used words with personal reference in presenting the materials. Shorter and less complex sentences were also found in their teaching even though sometimes they also used complex or long sentences. Repeating or paraphrasing sentences did not show too much. The teachers asked intersperse questions almost in all the meeting to dig students’ prior knowledge or sometimes just to review the previous lesson. Most of the feedbacks were shown when students mispronounced the words or they did not know how to spell the words. As a conclusion, when the science teachers made their language more comprehensible to their students by modifying how they talked in a number of ways, the learning process becomes effective.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Jigsaw and GTM on second grade of senior high school students’ reading achievement. The subjects of the study used are two classes of the second grade of St. Agnes Senior High School. A quasi-experimental research with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design was used to do this research. In order to know the effects of those two techniques, the writer used the pretest posttest as the instrument with 16 multiple choice items. To calculate the data, t-test for significance of difference between two means for independent samples was used. After analyzing the data which had been collected, the writer found out that the mean of the gain scores of the experimental group was 1.68 and the control group was 0.81. The mean of the gain scores between the two groups were not significantly different. It means the students who were taught using Jigsaw technique did not have a better reading achievement than those who were taught using GTM. Introduction
