Abstract

Hypothesis is very often inevitable in research activities. Hypothesis is of at least three kinds, each of which should not be confused. A study trying to measure the relationship between variables can predict the finding based on theory or logical common sense. This prediction is called theoretical hypothesis. In testing hypothesis quantitatively, the theoretical hypothesis should be transformed into statistical hypothesis, which takes the form of Null hypothesis and its alternatives. It is the Null hypothesis that is to be tested to justify its rejection or otherwise its acceptance. In qualitative study, the result of first data analysis is called temporal empirical hypothesis that should be validated with more data. This cycle of rechecking the result with more data is done again and again until the hypothesis becomes the final conclusion.

Abstract

Many English classes in Indonesia are now filled with many young learners. For example, a class may consist of 25 - 30 students. As a result, this may not be effective. The students could feel bored, stuck, and noisy, furthermore, if the class is filled by many young learners the atmosphere cannot be supportive anymore. To overcome the problem, the English teacher can vary his/her teaching techniques, one of which is playing games. They can undoubtedly, entertain the students Wierus and Wierus (1994:218) said that in easy, relaxed atmosphere which is created by using games, students remember things faster and better. This paper discusses the benefit of using games, the approriacy of using games, and some current games to teach vocabulary.

Abstract

This paper attempts to share the teaching of descriptive writing using electronic portfolio (e-portfolio) in the multimedia lab where students can write according to their own pace. Given indivi-dual electronic folders, they can continue writing whenever they want. The students can revise their first draft following comments given by the tutor or peers, or continue to the next assignment put in the tutors folder. Microsoft Word also provides tools, "track changes " and "insert and view comments", which enable students to freely and responsibly accept or reject suggestions given by the tutor. As a result, corrections, comments and revisions have caused improvements in describing things in more detailed ways, and less on the grammar and vocabulary mastery. However, only 25% of the students think their progress relates to an ability to better describe things; the rest believe their improvements are more in grammar and vocabulary mastery. E-portfolio provides a lot of practice, which enables the students to directly read comments and corrections given by the tutor and peers. Another significant finding is that the tutor must use various delivery techniques to cope with students different learning preferences.

Abstract

This paper describes the language of the language learners- language learner language - especially the pronunciation of the seventh semester students of the English department, Faculty of Education, Atma Jaya Catholic University Jakarta. Four major sub-topics are discussed in this paper which include the definition of interlanguage, the factors affecting interlanguage, some research findings on interlanguage, the result of observation, and the conclusion and suggestion. On the basis of the theoretical background and the result of the observation, it is concluded that: (1) the inaccurate pronunciation of the English of the learners is a natural one from the point of view of SLA, (2) L2 learning differs from first language acquisition in that it is seldom successful, (3) the incorrect pronunciation of the learners should not be considered as something that is not allowed to occur but should be realized as something natural, and (4) the pronunciation specific of the learners is mostly as a result of overgeneralization of the kind of rules of pronouncing the words.

Abstract

This essay reviews literature on the theoretical views underlying the selection of activities for classrooms of English literature teaching in EFL context. The review include: 1) literary criticisms, 2) constructivism, and 3) research on students perceptions of classroom activities. One literary criticism, reader-response, is beheld to pose a similar spirit to that of the constructivist mode of teaching. Both reader-response and constructivist teaching perspectives require the teaching of English literature to focus on the students. This requires giving attention to the students ideology, horizon of expectation, and “malumat sabiqoh” (background knowledge) in order to situate the students to actively generate their own meanings, understanding, or knowledge of given literary works offered as class materials. Since the students personal ideology, horizon of expectation, and malumat sabiqoh are influenced or the socio-culture undergirding every student, the teaching of English literature needs to take into account such socio-cultural properties. Another point reviewed is the students perceptions of classroom activities. Consideration of combining the top-down mode of thinking, as offered by the reader-response and constructivism, and bottom-up mode of thinking, as offered by research on students perceptions of classroom activities, constitute the ending part of this essay.

Abstract

Abstract: This paper describes the development of a diagnostic test of multiple choice reading comprehension as an initial stage in develop­ing teaching materials for medical students learning English. Sample texts were collected from all the departments in the faculty. Selection of relevant texts involved the participation of some subject lecturers. Sixty one items were developed from fifteen texts to be reduced to forty items after pilot testing. Face validity was improved. The main trial was carried out to twenty nine students and item analysis was car­ried out. The test showed low level of concurrent validity and the in­ternal consistency showed a moderate level of reliability. The low level of concurrent validity was suspected to result from the test being too difficult for the testees as the item analysis had revealed
