English Usage

The acquisition of collocations is an essential part of native-like competency in English usage yet is not so easy for learners. The use of collocations by non-native English speakers tends to be negatively influenced by their L1. Interference from the learners’ L1 could be mitigated by showing them the differences between the collocations in the target language and the equivalents in their own language. This article discusses concrete methods of teaching collocations effectively with the aid of learners’ L1 after briefly reviewing literature on collocations, collocations and language acquisition, and the use of learners’ L1 in language teaching. 学習者にとって、コロケーションは母語話者のような言語能力を習得するのに不可欠だが、それほど容易ではない。非母語話者は、コロケーションの使用に第1言語のマイナスの影響を受けやすい。しかし、このような母語干渉は、学習者に目標言語のコロケーションと第1言語における同等のコロケーションとの違いを示すことによって、緩和することができる。本論では、コロケーション、コロケーションと言語習得、言語教育における学習者の第1言語使用に関する先行研究を概説し、さらに、第1言語を補助的に使ってコロケーションを効果的に教える具体的な方法を議論する。

Over Time

Language is dynamic. And thus, for English as an international language, it keeps on changing and developing over time. Now there are more non-native English speakers compared to native speakers around the world. Thus, intelligibility becomes fundamental in the world of Englishes. Besides teaching in the English accent (i.e. American or British English) as part of the educational policy given by schools, respectively, non-native English teachers must also be prepared to inform their non-native students of the Englishes around the world. Moreover, research in identifying the varieties of English spoken in different areas around the world are rapidly progressing. Especially in the field of acoustic phonetics, in which the studies here assist researchers and teachers to identify vowel distinctions among different group of English speakers and the extent of the first language (L1) influence. Specifically, the analysis in phonological variations can help teachers deal with variation in varieties of English. Understanding the varieties of English that exist today and having mutual intelligibility can improve communication with different people from different countries around the world.

The Subject

Research into students’ expectations towards native English speakers or teachers has been commonly investigated for years, yet the significant exploration of native teachers’ perceptions towards their foreign students are rarely examined. This study tries to find out the Native English Speaker Teachers’ (NESTs) expectations in teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) students. The data were compared with Gani et al.’s (2015) previous study of EFL learners’ expectations toward their native teachers. The participants in this study were two native English teachers who are currently working at Universitas Syiah Kuala, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The interview was selected as the instrument to collect the data. The interview guide was designed and formulated based on a list of questionnaires that originated from Wu and Ke (2009). The interview with each teacher was recorded and the results were transcribed. The findings show that NESTs generally have similar expectations with the EFL students regarding speaking rate, learning environment, accent preferences, and assignments. However, diverse expectations occurred on the subject of syllabus design, grading system, grammatical correction, and pronunciation articulation. The results are further discussed in the paper. Consequently, the findings of this study can be used as a reference for both native teachers and EFL students in fulfilling the goal of learning in the classroom.
