Standards Development

An analysis of English/language arts standards development in Wisconsin and Minnesota in the late 1990s and early 2000s shows a process of compromise between neoliberal and neoconservative factions involved in promoting and writing standards, with the voices of educators conspicuously absent. Interpretive and critical discourse analyses of versions of English/language arts standards at the high school level and of public documents related to standards promotion reveal initial conflicts between neoconservative and neoliberal discourses, which over time were integrated in final standards documents. The content standards finally released for use in guiding curriculum in each state were bland and incoherent documents that reflected neither a deep knowledge of the field nor an acknowledgement of what is likely to engage young learners. The study suggests the need for looking more critically at standards as political documents, and a greater consideration of educators' expertise in the process of their future development and revision.

The present paper covers the teaching and learning process of English language teaching in government schools of Andhra Pradesh. As the aim of the syllabus by the SCERT, Andhra Pradesh, the learners of English are expected to achieve proper communication skills to apply it in the global context. Bright and Marc Gregor (1978) have remarked that “there is no language learning without exposure” At this juncture mere knowledge of English, based upon listening, speaking, reading and writing directed towards acquisition of communication skills among high school students. The present study intended to find out the lacuna of secondary skills in English language among the students at high school level. An Oxford dictionary defines lacuna as ‘an absent part’. This paper portrays the percentage of expected and achieved skills of the students which is technically the term called as ‘Lacuna’. Most of the students are promoted to the next classes without adequate all the skills expected by the SCERT. Gradually the differences between expected and achieved skills have been increasing by the students year by year. At this juncture, it is very much needed to fill the lacuna between expected and achieved skills among the students for the strong foundation of the students in the field of communication skills.

Abstract This article reports a study on English writing skill of Indonesian tertiary students. The purpose of the study is to examine students’ initial ability in writing English compositions.  The subjects of the study are 22 university students in their first year at English Language and Literature study program at one university in Bandung. The data are taken from students’ descriptive essays written in the classroom. The texts are then analyzed based on writing rubrics developed by Lane and Lange (1999) to see the recurrent global and local errors, supported by analytic writing rubrics proposed by Jacobs et al. (1981) to see the students’ writing ability in general. The results of the study show that the recurrent errors made in twenty-two English descriptive essays are singular/plural nouns for local errors and sentence structure for global errors. In terms of analytic view, errors in language use are the most frequent errors made by the students. The findings provide useful information for constructing teaching materials for English writing in this study program.Keywords: writing skill, descriptive text, composition scoring technique, analytic scoring technique, global and local errors. Abstrak Artikel ini melaporkan hasil kajian mengenai keterampilan menulis bahasa Inggris mahasiswa.

The goal of this study is to examine difficulties in and outside the classrooms which are the real obstacles to the writability of teaching and learning in the secondary level Bangladesh system. The secondary level tests writing skills by summary, paragraph, letter, application, story, conversation, composition, report, e-mail etc. Students who study at the high school level face serious writing complexities. The major problems in the examination are the vocabulary and grammar complexities. In this study, the reasons for the complexities of writing skills were examined. This study was conducted at Jahangirnagar School & College, Savar, Dhaka to find out the strategies for writing skills. Important questions of research have been developed to identify writing skill complexities. Data were taken from teachers, students and parents based on questionnaire survey. Teachers and students were encouraged to participate actively in the survey. Following collection of data, the practical advice for students and teachers was analyzed. While skills at secondary schools have been evaluated, most teachers are not taking any action to evaluate the abilities of students. Students are also less interested in writing skill in practice. The aim of the study is therefore to show a new image to the writing skill at the secondary level Bangladesh education system.

Abstract This program is a combination of The Community Development Partnership Program (CDPP) and research. It is one of the obligations of the writer in carrying out the University of Nusa Cendana's three principles, namely teaching, researching, and serving the community. The point of this program is Sunday School teachers in 22 and 24 service area of the Imanuel Church Oepura in Kupang, who will apply the method in Sunday School teaching every two weeks. This program is implemented per semester. There are three goals to be achieved; first, to run the English Day program that launched by the Governor of NTT, Viktor B. Laiskodat, secondly, to refresh and to give new atmosphere and enthusiasm for Sunday School teachers to maintain English language skills when attending school several years ago, and finally to support global tourism programs in the coming years in East Nusa Tenggara. Based on the analysis of the situation of young language learners in Sunday School, the writer set the method of Total Physical Response (TPR) through Bible-themed songs and games in English to develop the spirit and ability to learn English. This classic method is also still reaping the pros and cons but in its implementation, it still play role to be something interesting and easy for young language learners to get vocabulary and pleasant learning experiences. In general, the material can be well received because of the education background of Sunday School teachers from the High School level, Vocational School, and Sarjana Degree. Based on the application on Sunday School 55 participants, in 6-14 year old group could follow the instructions appropriately. Furthermore, in 3-5 year olds group only followed the movement of songs or games but could not understand the instructions or the aims of the games. The output of this program is to gradually begin with learning the names of Bible characters, places, and books in English, vocabulary and other games and songs to increase English vocabulary in speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in English that programmed in the curriculum also English Textbooks for Sunday School participants.
