Penelitian ini adalah tentang modifikasi interaksi oleh kelompok kecil diskusi mahasiswa Indonesia yang belajar Bahasa Inggris dalam menyelaraskan arti. Masalah pokok dari kajian ini adalah : modifikasi interaksi apa yang digunakan oleh kelompok diskusi mahasiswa yang belajar Bahasa Inggris untuk menyelaraskan arti? Kajian ini juga bertujuan mengenali modifikasi interaksi yang dilakukan mahasiswa tersebut dalam menyelaraskan arti. ?é?áData dikumpulkan dari seuah kelompok kecil diskusi mahasiswa Bahasa Inggris IKIP PGRI Semarang yang telah direkam dan ditranskripsikan menggunakan model yang dikembangkan oleh Eggins dan Slade (1997). Berdasarkan transkripsi tersebut sebagian besar data dianalisa menggunakan taksonomi yang dikembangkan oleh Pica dan Doughty (1985), dan didukung oleh Tarone (1983) dan Agustien (1992), untuk mengenali modifikasi interaksi oleh mahasiswa dalam antara lain : permintaan penjelasan (15,91%), konfirmasi (10,79%), pengecekan komprehensif (3,98%), pengulangan kata yang sama (23,865%), pengulangan lain (10,23%), tanggapan (12,50%), permintaan bantuan (0,57%), permintaan pengulangan (1,14%), translasi literal (0,57%), penjelasan berlebihan (2,84%), usaa tim (0,57%), tanggapan:penerimaan (9,66%), dan usulan (7,39%). Agar kemampuan berbicara siswa meningkat secara signifikan, guru Bahasa Inggris dianjurkan untuk memaksimalkan modifikasi interaksi yang paling banyak dikuasai oleh para siswa dan meningkatkan yang yang paling sedikit dikuasai siswa. Sebagai tambahan, para guru diharapkan dapat mengembangakan aktivitas siswa melalui (1) masukan secara komprehensif, ?é?á(2) mengambil bagian dalam pertukaran informasi, dan (3) membagi peran yang sama di antara siswa untuk berinteraksi di dalam kelas. Kata kunci : modifikasi interaksi, menyelaraskan diri, kelompok kecil diskusi.

We developed four innovative, creative, and fun educational tools to promote active learning, enhance problem-solving skills, and encourage small group discussion. Furthermore, the tools encourage deductive reasoning and critical thinking rather than passive memorization of material. The tools include crossword puzzles, hidden messages, word scrambles, and word searches. These tools were developed using two computer programs: the Crossword Construction Kit and The New Puzzle Factory. Instructors are encouraged to optimize the value of the tools by using the additional options presented at the end of each of the puzzles. The additional options encourage students to become active learners by creating their own tools. Although the principles of these four tools can be adapted to many disciplines, these specific games focused on gastrointestinal physiology. Our goal was to create tools that can be used either inside or outside the classroom to complement and enhance the lecture.
