Analyzing Elementary English Teachers’ Pronunciation Errors: Are We Intelligible?

Error analysis on students’ language performance has been massively discussed, yet few studies focused on teachers’ errors. Meanwhile, one of the main causes of students’ errors is the errors transferred from teachers. As the learners used to imitate their teachers sounds’ production, EFL teachers need to minimize errors when teaching at elementary school concerning the learners’ best period to acquire and learn a foreign language. The present study investigates EFL teachers’ pronunciation errors, specifically to find out the forms and causes of pronunciation errors in segmented vowels produced by the teachers. The research participants are 20 English teachers selected from various public and private elementary schools in Yogyakarta who were invited to pronounce 62 English words. The teachers were also required to fill out a questionnaire to find out external factors which are assumed can trigger the errors. The findings delineated that the teachers produced various forms of pronunciation errors in English vowels. The causes of errors lie in interlingual transfer, intralingual transfers, pronunciation differences between graphemes and sounds, hypercorrection, and words similarity. The external factors are also scrutinized, which include educational background and teachers’ lack of English practice. The study suggests that elementary EFL teachers in Indonesia should improve their pronunciation by frequently practicing and having intensive pronunciation training to teach better English to their learners.

The study of virtual reality adaptive learning method based on learning style model

AbstractLearning style is the endogenous cause of students' unique behaviors when they are performing learning tasks. The adaptive learning system that considers learning style can provide a personalized experience to stimulate students' enthusiasm, which had been widely studied in recent years. However, most of such existing systems are constructed based on a desktop environment, which leads to the less‐than‐ideal effect of personalized learning due to the limitation of interaction means and environmental dimension. Therefore, an adaptive virtual reality learning method based on the learning style model was proposed in this study. This method continuously iterated the identification of learning style based on students' subjective and objective data. Then, the content of virtual learning environment was sustainedly adjusted according to the identification results, thus enabling the environment to dynamically adapt to students' learning styles. To evaluate the feasibility of this proposed method, a controlled experiment on 152 participants was conducted. Results show that this method obtained relatively stable and accurate results of learning style identification, with an accuracy range of 74.38%–80.30%. Moreover, learning in the virtual environment constructed based on this method had a positive impact on students' learning motivation and outcomes.

PELATIHAN BAHASA INGGRIS DENGAN METODE BELAJAR 2C UNTUK SISWA PROGRAM PAKET C SETARA SMA IPS DI SANGGAR KEGIATAN BELAJAR (SKB) PURWOKERTO

Sanggar Kegiatan Belajar is one of the non-formal and informal educational institutions (PNFI) that organizes learning activities for the equivalency program. The problem that occurs in Purwokerto SKB is that the age of the learning citizens in a study group is various, each has different needs so that the sustainability of the program is difficult to maintain. Heterogeneous input of students and most of them come from the lower middle economic class and including families of recipients of the PKH program from the government is also one of the triggers for problems in learning. In addition, the absence of English language training is one of the problems that occur in SKB considering that English can be used as a plus point for students to get a job. The English language skills of the Paket C (SMA Equivalent) equivalency program students are still very low as evidenced by the average score of the final even semester test for the 2018/2019 academic year, which is 56.17 and the average score of UNBK in 2018 was 34.19. The lack of facilities and infrastructure that support the teaching and learning process of English is part of the causes of students' low English proficiency apart from input factors, student characteristics, interest and student motivation to learn. The use of learning methods that are fun, interactive, exploratory, systematic, creative and innovative is very helpful in improving students' English skills. The 2C method is a combination of two methods, namely the cooperative learning method and the contextual teaching and learning method. In this Community Partnership Program, the 2C method was used to train Paket C program students in improving their English language skills. Moreover, this Community Partnership Program was aimed to provide training to students in increasing their interest and motivation to learn English. The result of the training revealed that there was a significant improvement in students’ learning interest and motivation as well as their English performance.

PENERAPAN METODE K-NEAREST NEIGHBOR DALAM MEMPREDIKSI WAKTU KELULUSAN MAHASISWA SARJANA YANG BERMAIN GAME

Graduating from college is something that students really want. By graduating from college, it has become a sign for a student to become a worthy scholar to continue and enter the next level. Graduation time is influenced by the academic value obtained from a student. If a student gets a high score, the student's graduation will be faster or on time. On the other hand, if a student gets a score below the average, the student's graduation time will be longer. At this time, one of the causes of students getting low grades is because students who are so busy playing games neglect their lectures and lose concentration while studying. So this can affect the time of their graduation. Students should be able to control themselves to manage their time playing online games and lectures in order to complete their obligations as a student, and students who get low grades for playing games should also be aware that getting low grades continuously will result in the student being threatened with dropping out (DO).Therefore, an information system program was designed that can be used by students who like to play games to be able to predict their graduation time so that they can find out their graduation time. The design of this program applies the K-Nearest Neighbor method which is a classification technique for objects based on learning data that is closest to the object.The final result of the application of the K-Nearest Neighbor method in the program has its advantages and disadvantages. The classification process is strongly influenced by the large amount of training data, and the determined value of 'K' (neighbors). The more the amount of training data, the level of accuracy can be reduced. The level of accuracy in testing using training data is 230 data, and using test data as much as 30 data with several specified 'K' values, namely, 2, 3, 4, 10. Accuracy results with 4 K values used can reach an accuracy rate of 90% .

Exploring the Perceived Causes and Management of Challenging Behavior in Namibian and Ghanaian Schools

Abstract Since challenging behaviors are present in classrooms, it is imperative to understand how teachers acknowledge and respond to these unwanted actions within their schools. The overarching purpose of this study is to understand schoolteachers' perspectives on the causes of students' unwanted behaviors and their responses in the classroom. The study was also designed to explore schoolteachers' perspectives on the relationship between the students' challenging behavior and disability. A total of 1,056 Ghanaian (n = 502) and Namibian (n = 554) schoolteachers were surveyed to identify their understanding of causes of their students' challenging behavior and how they addressed the behaviors. Results of the study indicated that the teachers perceived challenging behavior as related to discipline and not disability. Most teachers also believed that both home and school environmental factors influenced challenging behavior. Furthermore, most schoolteachers from both countries did not believe that physical punishment was an effective way to address challenging behavior and did not support its use in schools. Teacher training programs in both countries need to emphasize the use of evidence-based proactive strategies to address students' challenging behavior in order to minimize the use of punitive strategies such as physical punishment.
