This research aims to analyze motivational strategies in teaching English as foreign language at 7th grade of Junior High School 7 Kuningan and to analyze students‟ attitudes towards motivational strategies that were applied by teachers in teaching EFL. The researchers used qualitative research by using classroom observation, interview, and questionnaires. The result taken from classroom observation and interview show teacher 1 and teacher 3 applied motivational strategies completely based on the phases of motivational strategies. Thus, the students responded these strategies positively. On the other hand, teacher 2 applied motivational strategies incompletely because the teacher missed the first phases. This was responded negatively by students. Therefore, the students were actively involved in teaching and learning process conducted by teacher 1 and teacher 2, but the students were passively involved in teaching and learning process conducted by teacher 2. Furthermore, the result taken from questionnaires shows that students gave positive attitudes towards the teacher 1 (88.25%), teacher 2 (79.02%), and teacher 3 (85.71%). Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the way the teachers applied motivational strategies in teaching EFL determined students‟ attitudes towards motivational strategies applied by teachers in teaching EFL.Keywords: motivational strategies, phases of motivational strategies, students attitudes, teaching EFL

Islamic Values

The idea of integrating Islamic values in non-religion subjects is still in the process of shaping its format. Many possibilities and flexibilities of the integration are existing and practiced by English teachers at Islamic Junior High School—knowingly as Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs). Also, in the middle of endless idea of integration, teachers have been trying to apply the integration based on their beliefs and situation. This study outlines the teachers’ best practices on integrating Islamic values in English lesson at MTs in Jawa Timur. By using descriptive qualitative method, this study portraits 6 English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ best practices. Data were taken from classroom observation, interview, and documentation which then were analysed as best practices. Best practices refer to the practice of integration which is considered as working practice from each teacher’s situation. The situation was mostly influenced by teachers’ lack of confidence to contextualize and operationalize the values into the teaching materials and activities, and the lack of model for integration. Further study on how to operationalize the integration, and on developing the model of integration will be worth exploring.

Language Technology

Teknologi dan bahasa asing adalah dua hal yang saling berkesinambungan. Penguasaan dua materi tersebut menjadi sebuah keniscayaan bagi sivitas akademika baik pendidik maupun siswa. Hal ini karena, mayoritas kegiatan pembelajaran berhubungan dengan alat-alat digital dan bahasa asing dalam penyampaiannya. Tekhnologi diciptakan untuk mempermudah usaha manusia, selain itu ia juga dapat meningkatkan  pencapaian tujuan. Dalam pengajaran bahasa asing, siswa cenderung lebih mudah  memahami materi jika disampaikan dalam bentuk gambar, film, video ataupun animasi. Pengajaran Bahasa bahasa Asing saat ini masih dianggap kurang memuaskan dikarenakan materi yang disampaikan terlalu monoton dan kurang bersentuhan dengan tekhnologi sehingga kurang menarik untuk disampaikan. Kedua, materi ajar lebih banyak  diasosiasikan dengan  buku  teks  pelajaran. Padahal sebenarnya,  materi ajar dapat berupa kamus, kaset, video, lembar kerja, dan sebagainya. Berdasarkan hal-hal di atas, maka peneliti mengembangkan materi pelajaran Bahasa Asing pada Madrasah Tsanawiyah berbasis Whiteboard Animation. Technology and foreign language are two related things. Mastery in the above two is a must for academic people, either for the teachers or the students. It is because, majority, the learning activity are done with the help of digital technology and foreign language. Technology is created in order to help human activity and also to improve the goals’ achievement. While in the teaching and learning process, students tend to understand the material more if it is delivered in the form of picture, movie, video or animation. The foreign learning, nowaday, is considered unsatisfied since the material delivered is monotone and less in touch with the technology, so it is not really attractive. Second, the learning materials are assosiated more with textbook. While actually, the learning materials can be in the form of dictionary, cassette, video, worksheet and so on. Based on the above fact, the researcher improvr the foreign (English and Arabic) learning materials for Islamic Junior High School based on whiteboard animation.

Teacher Center

Teaching English as foreign language to Indonesia learners is rather difficult. It can be seen from most of learners who graduated from university, they cannot use English as their language for communication; written or spoken communication. In addition, Most of teachers use traditional method or strategy that focus on teacher or teacher center. So, students are not only active in joining the class but also feel bored. Dealing with this problem, the teachers must change their teaching from teacher center to learner center. Furthermore, teaching productive skill; writing and speaking, the teacher must use the suitable strategy to achieve goal of teaching and learning process. VARK (visual, auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic) which is developed by Neil Fleming in 1987 is one of the strategies which can be used to teach productive skill, because it invites learners more active in joining the class. It also helps learners in understanding the materials easily.

Bahasa Inggris di SMP berisi tentang teks singkat tentang deskripsi, naratif, dan prosedural. Idealnya, para siswa diberikan teks bahan ajar yang dekat dengan kehidupan mereka.
