Abstract

This study examines the application of self-assessment concerning students writing skills using integrated CLLA (Cultural Language Learning Approach), BLM (Blended Learning Method) and HOTS (High Order Thinking Skills) with human puppets serial stories what so-called Wayang Orang (WO) as the learning discourses. This was intended to implement Self-Assessment to the students' listening-writing skills development using integrated CLLA, BLM and HOTS as WO preservation efforts for the sake of finding the concept of implementing Self-Assessment on Listening-Writing Skills (SALWS) using such three methods. The Mixed Methods Study was conducted by involving 30 students of the English Education Program Faculty of Teachers Training and Education. The main data was a portfolio of documentation of SALWS assignments analyzed using the Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence Carnegie Mellon Model (ECTECM). The results were interpreted as findings regarding the SALWS implementation integrated with CLLA, BLM and HOTS containing with various WO serial stories. The study reveals that SALWS can be used as a self-assessment guide by students for the average score spreads between 0% for A(sophisticated) scores, 6% B scores (very competent), 71% C scores (competent), and the remaining 11% get scores D (Not yet competent). WO preservation efforts conducted in the Paragraph-Writing class could attract a majority of 89% of students. The rest neither were interested in WO nor increased such language skills since they came from foreign countries which were still in the process of adaptation in using both their English and Indonesian.
