ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL SELF-APPLICATION STUDY (KAKAS)
type: item
description: AbstractEnvironmental knowledge alone does not guarantee a positive behaviour towards the environment in the absence of awareness and appreciation for the environment. The question is, how to raise environmental awareness?Thus, this study aims to instil environmental awareness throughEnvironmental Self-Application Study (KAKAS). The study was conducted on 27 graduate students who are school teachers. The participants conducted KAKAS activities throughout one semester. Kakas was run through six steps, namely 1) Identifying wasteful practices in everyday life, 2) Planning self-study that can solve the problem in step 1, 3) Conducting independent scientific and systematic research according to their creativity, 4) Data collected ≥ 3 times with proofs 5) Sharing of independent research through poster presentations, 6) Summarizing the results of the impact study of environmental sustainability in everyday life.Each of the study participants were asked to reflect on the activities that has been done throughout the semester. The study found that KAKAS activities has been able to: 1) increase participants' environmental awareness through the awareness on waste, 2) impress the participants for these activities could contribute to the environment, 3) increase concerns for the environment, 4) increase responsibility towards the environment, 5) instil awareness of the needs for conserving natural resources, 6) each individual is able to give contribution to the environment, 7) environmental care as a sign of gratitude to the Creator.KAKAS brings implications on environmental awareness which in turn can lead to the appreciation and positive action on the environment. This is important to be instilled in teachers because they are role models to students. Hopefully, this awareness can be delivered to their students throughout their studies. key Words: environmental awareness, reflection, teachers’ awareness, self-study

ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING PROBLEMS IN INDONESIA
type: item
description: Abstract The problems of English teaching in Indonesia have been by many experts and practitioners in the field. Most people focus on the suitable methods of teaching. Some of the methods that have been used are grammar-translation method, direct method,, structural method, reading method, audio-lingual method, situational method, total physical response method, and communicative approach. As a result,Indonesian government or the department of education keeps on changing the methods of teaching English as a foreign language. It is true that we need to keep up with the progress in teaching methodologies. But there are many other factors that we need to consider when we want to be successful in our English teaching program. First of all, the teaching of English as a foreign language has always been considered very important in Indonesia in order to be able to compete with other countries in terms of science, commerce, and technologies. But in real practice the government does not seem to show seriousness in the matter. Let us look at the curriculum and syllabus. In a way, the content of the English syllabus is very dense. It covers all the language skills and components. But the result of the teaching learning process is still not satisfactory.Whenwe look at the teaching-learning process that has been done in public schools, we can probably say that the unsatisfactory result was caused by some factors. First of all, language teaching is different from other subjects teaching. Language teaching is not just a matter of teaching the knowledge. It is more of teaching the skills. It takes a long time to train someone to become fluent in using the language skills.In reality, the class size is usually big while the allotted time for English subject is very little and the meeting frequency is very low. A Foreign language must be taught intensively in small classes with high frequency of meetings. It is best if it is conducted on the daily basis so that the students can achiev…

CONSTRUCTING RUBRICS FOR GENRES AND SHORT FUNCTIONAL TEXTS: (A New Challenging Task for English Language Teachers)
type: item
description: AbstractTo enable the students of junior and senior high schools in Indonesia to write such short functional texts as announcement, message, advertisement, brochure, and letters; and such genres as narrative, recount, news item, report, descriptive, explanation, procedure, analytical exposition, hortatory exposition, discussion, is the main target of the teaching of writing skill (Curriculum 2004, 2006, and 2013). To reach this target, of course, teachers should teach all theoretical concepts related to these kinds of texts and ask students to write. However, teachers prefer to give only the examples of each short functional texts and genres; and in the real classroom evaluation, students are required to answer a multiple-choice question that is similar to reading comprehension. This condition also happens in the school-leaving exams and national exam. Consequently, students got difficulties to write a grammatical and well-organized genres as well as short functional texts; even the teachers will have no experiences at all on how to construct a fit, proper, and feasible rubric for those texts. This is due to fact that more than 50% of new students (i.e. freshmen) of English Department Faculty of Education and Teacher Training University of Riau Pekanbaru have moderate to low levels ability in writing skill, particularly in terms of genres, short functional texts including essays or projects (Results of Writing Course I, Academic Year 2014/2015). In relation to this, about most English teachers of Province of Riau attending Education & Training of Certification (18-27 October 2015) said that they had difficulties to construct rubrics for a specific short functional text. This paper will try to disclose how to construct and apply rubrics for those texts that will be a new challenging task for English language teachers within Riau Province and Indonesia.

type: item
description: Abstract We experience amusement, the sublime, sorrow, joy, pleasure, and awe in our ordinary life. These are the starting point for aesthetics, the starting point for reflecting on the nature, the value, and the quality of our experiences of the natural and constructed environments and of various aspects of ordinary life. This has led to the theme of this research study – To empower students’ Narrative Essay Writing skills using Malay Language with a view that they put their experiences in words and associated them with ideas of creativity and contrasted with reason and logic. This research study responds to this challenge by doing three things. First, it adopts the “Making Thinking Visible” approach by Ritchhart (2011) as the main framework for the derived Narrative Essay Writing programme in this study. Second, it uses the thinking routine of “See-Think-Wonder” for students to experience in a multitude of ways for a given object, event, or a series of events. Third, it incorporates my personal teaching strategies on how to induce richness in narrative writing by ensuring students include “See”, “Hear”, “Smell”, Taste”, “Feel”, “Think” and use “metaphors” and “poems” in their writing. Finally, experiences and knowledge gained for teaching “narrative essay writing” are described as a series of five action research cycles with a view to show other fellow teachers what it would be like in their class with their students.

THE CONTRIBUTION OF MOTIVATION LEVEL AND LANGUAGE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT TO THE SUCCESSFUL FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING
type: item
description: Abstrak This paper reports a biographic enquiry of two tertiary English learners from Kuantan Singingi Riau and seeks to capture the developmental processes of the learners’ language learning approaches. By sharing their past language learning experiences, the two learners verbalized their struggles in language learning and revealed the deep impact that their learning settings had on their perceptions of self and language learning. Their adopted learning approaches, as revealed in their biographical accounts, seem to be extremely exam-oriented and are dependent on the learners’ self-will and effort as well as teachers’ support and attention. Both learners’ accounts suggest that their language learning approaches are influenced by the contextual discourses about learning English, stressful social processes and a sense of threatened self-identity as English major graduates in a highly competitive educational context. Key words: language learning approaches, biographic study and tertiary English learners

HOW 60:40 POLICY AFFECTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCE CURRICULUM IN MALAYSIA
type: item
description: Abstrak Since 1967, Malaysian’s Ministry of Education has constructed a policy called the 60:40 Policy. This Policy aims to enroll 60% of students into Science/Technical stream while the other 40% into Art streams. This policy is based on the 1967 Statement Report of Higher Education Planning Committee. Although the implementation of this 60:40 policy has been almost half a decade, targeted ratio was found to be very far from the desired goals. Among the factors that influence students not to choose the Science / Technical stream is due to their lack of interest in Science subjects, they also felt that Science is difficult and the circle of people don’t encourage them enough to participate in the Science stream, caused by inadequate exposure to science-based careers. The involvement and achievement of students in rural areas are lower compared to those in urban area, which is caused by geographical factors and low socio-economic status. Ministry of Education (MOE) has taken initiatives to replace the Integrated Curriculum for Primary Schools (KBSR) to the Standard Curriculum for Primary Schools (KSSR) in 2011. But this transformation does not agree well with the 60:40 Policy because Science subjects have been replaced by the World Science and Technology. Other than that, the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics subjects (STEM) and 21st century learning is also seen as an approach that draws students interest to science. This approach must be integrated into the Science curriculum and consequently supporting the 60:40 policy. It is a hope that the 60:40 Policy can be realized by our country's education system by the year 2020. Keywords: 60:40 Policy, STEM, KSSR and 21st Century Learning

type: item
description: Abstract Asking questions in English language teaching has a very important role to play. Questioning skills are the components of CTL, basic skill of teaching and one of the components of scientific approach that a teacher uses in teaching learning process. It is also believed that the quantity and quality of questions used by teachers will determine the quantity and quality responses given by students in ELT. In addition, English teachers should take into consideration question levels to ask to their students. One important consideration in asking questions is English proficiency level of students. Therefore, English teachers should be able to use various levels of questions beginning from lower to higher question levels. Bloom categorizes questions into six levels namely knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation levels. While Anderson, Bloom’s former student, categorizes questions into remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. Questions used by teachers can be in the forms of yes/no questions, information questions and alternative questions. These forms of questions can be classified into display and referential questions. Other terms used to classify questions are convergent and divergent questions. By having enough knowledge, teachers are expected to be able to use various question levels and questioning skill in the classroom so that the participation of students can be improved and teaching learning process can run smoothly and successfully. Key words: question, questioning, display question, referential question, convergent and divergent questions.
