Magister Scientiae No 43 (2018)
Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

According to the 2013 Curriculum, English learning materials for both senior high school and vocational high school are equalized. However, it is suggested that the English learning materials for vocational students should be more specific than those for senior high school students because they need to learn specific areas of English in accordance with their major. Finding proper English textbooks for vocational students focusing on their major is not an easy task. In addition, most vocational school teachers also do not have any sufficient time to design the English materials for the vocational students. Therefore, it is recommended to develop the English materials which meet the students’ needs and demands, particularly intended for Tourism Program. In line with those problems, the researcher used ADDIE method which stands for analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation as a research design as suggested by Aldobie (2015). Two validators were involved to validate the textbook and they responded positively towards the materials. Furthermore, after using the textbook, three students and a teacher of tourism program were interviewed. They later agreed that the textbook was suitable and was considered to be fun in the learning process.

The objective of this study was to investigate the type of corrective feedback used by a teacher on students’ writing. The subjects of the study were twelve students of tenth graders of a private senior high school in Ponorogo selected based on pre-determined set criteria. The study used a qualitative method and the sources of data collected in this study were the teacher’s written corrective feedback on language features which focused on three categories of errors: subject-verb agreement, word choice, and sentence structure in the students’ descriptive texts. The data gathered were processed by analyzing and interpreting the teacher’s written corrective feedback using Ellis’s typologies of corrective feedback (2009) namely: direct, indirect, and metalinguistic corrective feedback. The result of the study shows that the type of corrective used by the MAN 2 Ponorogo teacher to correct the students’ descriptive writing was typology corrective feedback proposed by Ellis (2009). The corrective feedbacks used by the teacher were as many as 108 occurrences in total. The occurrences of direct corrective feedbacks were 37 (40,65%) on subject verb agreement errors, 20 (21,98%) word choices, and 34 (37,37%) sentence structures, while the indirect corrective feedback were 3 (21,42%) subject verb errors, 4 (28,58%) word choices, and 7 (50%) sentence structures, and metalinguistic on subject verb errors, word choices, and sentence structures used by the teacher was only 1 (3,33%) of each. It was later concluded that the type of corrective feedback mostly used by the teacher in revising their students’ grammatical errors was direct corrective feedback.

AN ANALYSIS OF INSTRUCTIONAL PICTURES USED IN PRIMARY ENGLISH COURSEBOOKS Sista Laksita Dewi; Harto Pramono
Magister Scientiae No 43 (2018)
Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

This study analysed the types and roles of instructional pictures used in selected English coursebooks for elementary schools in Indonesia, and more specifically, the extent to which the pictures corresponded to the characteristics (principled set) of effective instructional pictures. Results of the analysis indicated that the type of pictures mostly belonged to less realistic type which was suitable for supporting the roles the pictures played in accompanying English words/text. The picture roles were mostly for introducing the meanings of new target words they accompanied, i.e., to support students’ comprehension of written text (target words) and for reinforcing and/or establishing the target words that had been introduced by accompanying varied activities represented through the written text (words), i.e., to enhance students’ retention of new target words. Most instructional pictures in the selected coursebooks were considered very effective to support their roles as they met the characteristics of effective instructional pictures (relevance, clarity, familiarity, suitability of picture type, and completeness of pictorial aspects). These findings suggest that selection of instructional pictures used to complement information presented in text should consider such aspects as suitability of types, roles, and characteristics of effective pictures in supporting their roles, in particular, for the purpose of enhancing English learning. Implications in developing and selecting instructional pictures are discussed.

Magister Scientiae No 43 (2018)
Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

The main purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of audio and video materials in students’ listening comprehension. There were two groups of undergraduate students majoring in English who took part in this research. Each of the group consisted of 17 students. Group A was the group of students who were taught using audio-only materials, while Group B was the group of students who were taught using video materials. The data were collected by giving students the same set of questions in the pretest and post-test. The data were then analyzed using t-test formula. Based on the result, it was found that the gained score of the students taught using video was higher than that of the students taught using audio-only materials. However, the finding of this research also showed that there was no significant difference between teaching students using audio and video in listening. It can be seen from the result of to to be 0.67 and the result of ttable was 2.03 with the degree of freedom of 32. Based on the result, the study concluded that the to was lower than ttable which meant that the Null Hypothesis (Ho) was accepted while the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) was rejected. Therefore, it was implied that there was no significant difference between the students’ results of pre- and post-listening tests after getting different methods (video- and audio-based course).

The use of strategies can be useful when students are conscious about their capability in writing. Learners use various strategies as their approaches to deal with difficulties in writing. Oxford (1990) believes that strategies are the conscious steps of behavior used by language learner to enhance the acquisition, storage, retention, recall and new information. Inopportunely, there are still many learners who do not realize the importance of using appropriate strategies in analyzing their writing strategies which later can make the learners be anxious in facing the problems or difficulties in writing enhanced composition. This research is descriptive case – qualitative research dealing with learning strategies of English Education Department students in writing descriptive composition. The research questions were 1). What learning strategies are used by English Education Department high achievers in writing descriptive compositions? and 2). What are the impacts of learning strategies for high achievers’ writing descriptive compositions? To answer the research questions, interviews, observations, and writing analyses were used as research instruments on five English department students as the subjects of this research. Based on the academic data from staff administrator and lecturers, those students are high achievers in their writing course in the department. The researcher attempted to describe the types of participants’ strategies in writing descriptive compositions to find out the high frequency strategies and their impacts in students’ writing descriptive composition. The results demonstrated that the learning strategies used were able to assist the students in composing essays; those strategies are cognitive and compensation strategies. Nonetheless, some students consciously relish to use social strategy. At some points, the data showed that the more strategies used by the students, the better the writing quality will be.

Magister Scientiae No 43 (2018)
Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

The study was intended to describe the coherence strategies and devices used by the graduate students of Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya in writing Introduction section to achieve coherence. This discourse analysis study described the internal relationship of form and meaning by applying textual analysis with a multimodal analysis. The researcher found non-deductive and neither deductive nor non-deductive strategy in this study. The non-deductive strategy consisted of three elements: context establishment, further focus, and thesis statement. The neither deductive nor non-deductive strategy did not have any complete elements, so those writings were categorized as incoherent introductions. Beside those strategies, there were 6 coherence devices identified; they were repetition of key nouns, the definite article ‘the’, parallelism, purpose signals, substitution, and transitional signals.

Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

This article reports the study of narratives of research participants, both native and non-native English speaker (NNES) teachers, explore their experiences of learning and teaching English which they reflected during their encounter in Gorontalo. Using Narrative Inquiry as a methodological device, this research facilitates the participants to write their ethnobiographies which were analyzed in order to depict the landscape of their language identities. The analysis shows participants' diverse language identities paradigms ranging from monolingual, multilingual to translingual tendency. Their perspective can be placed into a continuum where Mary (pseudonym), an American veteran English teacher, was on the tendency of monolingual identities and Julie (pseudonym), an English teacher from Indonesia, was on the other end of holding translingual identities.
