Abstract

Abstract This paper is a report of how to make reluctant teachers col­lege students read in a prose course. These students were not interested in fiction and had never read interpretative fiction in English. The teacher sought to know why the students were reluctant to read, and how to make them read, and discovered that it was because of students linguistic de­ficiency and their reluctance to read longer texts. The teacher also dis­covered that in spite of their reluctance they were interested in listening to the teachers explanation about the cultural elements and the analysis of the short stories. Thus, provided with a guideline developed based on cultural and gender elements, students were motivated to autonomously read an assigned Pulitzer-winning novel.

Abstract

The publication of this book signifies three important things. First, syntactic theory in generative grammar—after nearly five decades of its inception—remains a thriving discipline. In fact, it seems to have been too progressive and dynamic, making some drastic change in a rather unex­pected manner. Considering the proliferation and world-wide fame of the Government-Binding (GB) Theory during the 1980s and early 1990s, Chomsky s publication of The Minimalist Program (1995) might have taken GB syntacticians by surprise, since this book was intended as a major revi­sion of GB syntax. Second, syntax, as ever, remains central and plays the leading role in generative grammar. The creative aspect of human lan­guage, the argument goes, is best explained by syntax—part of the linguis­tic competence which contributes most to accounting for native speakers ability to understand and produce novel utterances in their language. The centrality of syntax also shows up very clearly in the most influential books by Chomsky. Prior to The Minimalist Program, the earlier hallmarks in the generative enterprise are Syntactic Structures (1957), Aspects of the Theory of Syntax (1965), and Lectures on Government and Binding (1981). These books, while dealing with linguistic theory in general, dwelled heavily into syntax. Third, as is "notorious" among students of language, Chomsky re-mains a hard reading. Readers familiar with GB Theory would recall that Chomsky 1981 is intellectually accessible only to well-trained syntacticians. Therefore, during the past two decades syntacticians were busy "translat­ing" GB syntax to make it accessible to language students in general. Works by Cook (1988), Cowper (1992), Radford (1988), and Sells (1985)—to cite just a few examples—are simplified versions of GB syntax intended for beginners. It is along this line of "simplification" that the book now being reviewed was written. In other words, the original version of the Minimalist Program, like that of GB Theory, might be way beyond beginning students of linguistics.

Abstract

Abstract: This paper reports the results of a survey of a one-semester online course for students majoring in Economics, Secretarial, Computer Technology, and Language Education. The teacher created online mate­rials of reading strategies along with the assignment on www.blackboard, corn, and the students were instructed to access the materials, learn them independently, and do some self-evaluated reading assignments. Ques­tionnaires were then distributed to see what obstacles had hampered their efforts in learning from online materials, as well as what advantages they gained from the new instructional approach. The qualitative and quanti­tative data culled from the questionnaires revealed potentials as well as some latent problems in carrying out an online teaching. The general profile that emerged was learners who were enthusiastic about learning through Internet and felt that the new approach had familiarized them with the futures technological tools, but who were mostly hampered by the lack of fund and facilities. These are discussed with special reference to the use of advanced computer technology in the teaching of English in Indonesia.

Abstract

Abstract This article presents a discussion of task-based approach in Communicative Language Teaching. A task is a classroom activity in­volving learners interaction in which the main attention is on the mean­ing more than on the form of the target language. This approach may be applicable to TEFL in Indonesian context.

Abstract

Abstract: This paper describes a task-based approach to teaching En­glish using an authentic material obtained from a guided tour. It begins with a brief discussion on forms-focused instruction, then follows a dis­cussion on meaning-focused and form-focused instruction. This paper also cites theoretical framework and research to justify the implementa­tion of task-based language teaching. It argues that task-based language teaching needs to be modified to accommodate the needs of teaching the language in EFL contexts. At the end of the paper, a procedure is pro-posed for the implementation of task-based language teaching using a sample material from tour guiding.

Abstract

Abstract: This article describes the advantages of using analytic proce­dure in speaking assessment. An analytic scoring guide, as compared to the impressionistic one, has a double function: as an instrument to mea­sure the learners speaking proficiency and as a diagnostic procedure for remedial teaching. Thus, it provides reliable sources of information in the form of scores of the speaking components and can be used as feed-back for the teacher and learner to identify which component needs im­provement.

Abstract

Abstract: This study was aimed at examining the students overall pro­ficiency in English composition across university-year cohorts and across academic options. The participants were undergraduate students of Uni­versitas Negeri Malang. They were asked to write persuasive essays on whether violence as exposed on TV programs should be restricted. The essays were evaluated using the ESL Composition Profile. The results showed that that there was a significant difference between the first- and fourth-year students overall proficiency in English composition. In ad­dition, there was no significant difference between the overall proficiency in English composition of the students taking the thesis option and those taking non-thesis option. The instructional program and writing curricu­lum appeared to play an important role in developing the students over-all proficiency in English composition. However, the thesis prerequisite courses provided to prepare the students to write a thesis proposal did not seem to affect their overall proficiency in English composition.
