This paper describes the development and field test of the Laboratory Data Analysis Instrument (LDAI), aimed at diagnosing first-year students’ understanding of data analysis procedures. The design of this student-centered instrument is based on difficulties related to students’ data analysis skills required in an introductory physics laboratory. Difficulties were determined from previous literature, observations in laboratory classes, and interviews with students. The LDAI is single-context based, consisting of 30 multiple-choice and true/false questions embedded in a real laboratory report from a real laboratory. It was validated by seven experts: three physics professors, one science education lecturer, and three experienced laboratory instructors. Administration to 77 participants resulted in a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.702. The LDAI is a promising step toward having a valid and reliable diagnostic instrument that can be used by laboratory instructors in undergraduate physics laboratories.

<p>This article is regarded as a descriptive qualitative research dealing with the first year students’ skill in pronouncing the English voiceless plosive consonants. The subjects of the research are all considered homogenous consisting of 35 students who factually use Toba Batak language and Indonesian as their native languages. Based on the data analysis it was found out that those who had more phonological awareness could pronounce the English voiceless consonants better than those who had less. These speech sounds could be pronounced well when they particularly occurred either at medial or final position, but they were sometimes not properly pronounced or aspirated when they occurred in initial position and followed by stressed vowel. Phonetic errors or faulty pronunciations were more frequently done when these consonants occurred in initial position or uttered in connection with other words in a sentence.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong> English, pronunciation, typology, voiceless plosive consonant</p>

English Grammar

This article is a part of the writer’s dissertation on the development of an integrated English grammar assessment. Although some say that English grammar is not needed when someone speaks and/or writes English, it was found that incorrect use of grammar disturbed the communication. It is also believed that having good English is a must when someone wants to be a model. Standing on this position, the writer had carried out an experiment on giving an integrated assessment to train her students who will be future English teachers to develop their English grammar ability. The research was carried out in the form of an experimental research by using a one-group pretest posttest design. The sample comprised all the first year students of English Department of Bung Hatta University, Padang, West Sumatera. The research result showed that the assessment did not only help the students write more sentences, but it also helped them write more number of grammatically correct sentences. The data analysis revealed that the students improve their achievement. It was shown by the increasing mean score from 26.43 in the pretest into 50.12 in the posttest. The analysis of significance also showed that the calculated-t value (18.9052) was much higher than the table-t value (1.9837). It indicated that the integrated assessment was effective to improve the students’ English grammar ability.
