standard?
(Jika tidak ada silabus, maka apa yang digunakan sebagai suimber ajar?)
S1: for the book, I use the course book and Oxford for the dictionary. For
news and also issues that I would like to give them usually based on what I
google.
S2: kami menyusun buku untuk setiap program atau kelas. Dan itu dijadikan
Yes. Day by day, we often use that book but sometimes I give them
videos.
5. How to manage time allocation if the time provided to learn all subjects is just
two weeks?
We have what we called by some subjects or some discussions that are the
‘must’ and the others are not compulsory. So during two weeks, my goal is to
make them understand how to read dictionary and there are some materials
that if they cannot read the dictionary, I had better not give them the next
material. So, there are also some students who come from one school and this
is a little bit difficult because they are not regular students so I have to teach
with different way or approach. In this class, I cannot give them all subjects. I
have to pick which one I think is important according to their behavior and
their ability.
We cannot say that it is enough when we study things because there is a very
big thing in small one. The fact that students are coming to this course is
because it is not their real destination. They just drop by. So, how can they
have to study for three or more months if they just have a month or maybe
shorter time? They only have limited time to study. We provide ten classes, so
plan.
8. If there is no lesson plan, how to determine the plan to teach in one period?
We have meeting before starting the new period. We discuss about what
should be taught. It does not matter how the tutors deliver their subjects. The
matter is that the goal of learning must be achieved and every class should
Of course the target is that they can read the dictionary because we are not the
owner of the language so even though we ask the teacher to read the
dictionary, they perhaps cannot read it. They just say the words based on what
they believe the words supposed to be. My goal is as long as they understand
that this sound is that sound and that sound is this sound (it means they
goal.
10. What kinds of method are used in pronunciation teaching and learning?
To know about the method used in my class, you had better join my class and
11. What kinds of technique are used in pronunciation teaching and learning?
S1: In my pronunciation class, there will be ear training too. I read some
words and the students have to classify the sounds. Like the pronunciation of
‘double O’ or /oo/ in certain words are different from ‘double O’ or /oo/ in the
other words. For example, the words ‘book’ and ‘door’. So, I tell my students
to listen to the words carefully and group them based on their sounds.
S3/S4: We repeat what Mam Dina says and read the dictionary in turns and
there is a time where we have to classify the words. It is very difficult for me
but it helps me to listen more carefully to the words and get better
understanding.
S1: Just book and dictionary. But I also use recording file to help them
S3/S4: We just use module and Oxford dictionary and sometimes Mam Dina
deliver her lesson taken from other media, such as from the movie or video
from Youtube. The aim is to make us get better understanding and relate the
do not wait until they forget their problems. I show their weakness and ask
So they can compare. This is the example and this is what I can do. By giving
that file, I want to make students understand that sentences have structure.
Many of learners do not even know grammar. They read the paragraph on and
recording, I would like them to examine and to listen to it carefully and finally
pronunciation for every sound is very difficult. When we talk about intonation,
they can afford it. But when we are talking about every single sound with very
As long as they have changed their sounds in some certain mistakes they had
before, I will give them different value. I will see the general performance of
their reading. If this is only one sound that he is changing but the others are
S1: Students are not the owner of the language, so they will use to speak with
their own sound. As a result, native speaker will say ‘pen’, but they will say

S1: I meet many kinds of students. Some of them only follow their friends.
They don’t have intention to learn. For me, to teach holiday program is more
difficult than regular program. It is because regular class is full of those who
19. So what is your most difficult thing about facing those kinds of students?
The most difficult thing that I find is to clean up their behavior. We have
alphabet in Bahasa Indonesia and the sound of alphabet is exactly the name of
every letter. It becomes the problem when the fact in English, alphabet is just
like ‘naming’ the letter and the name doesn’t represent the sound. So we face
there are twenty in English. It will make them little bit confused to set their
mind in understanding this. For example, some of the students have habit of
interpreting that ‘double O’ means ‘U’. It should be ‘flood: /flʌd/’ but they say
/flud/.
S3: Saya ke Pare kan program liburan, Kak. Dari sekolah. Jadi disini buat
liburan saja. Saya milih kelas pronunciation karena pengen bisa. Jadi mulai
dari belajar pelafalan kata per kata baru nanti ke speaking Englishnya. Saya itu

23. Is there any factor that influences your success in learning pronunciation?
study. The second one is about concentration on the subjects which are taught
by the tutor. The third one is about environment. If we stay in English area, it
will be good for us because we can study with our friends outside the class.
The other factor is our friends. My friends are so kind. We support each other
S3: Mam Dina itu lucu, kelasnya serius tapi santai. Beliau bisa buat kita santai
semangat lagi. Pas di kelasnya itu kaya nggak belajar. Kaya main tapi dapet
S4: Bagus. Kita dikasih materi terus langsung praktek. Pagi tadi kita dijaka
praktek baca kamus Oxford. Itu kan susah banget. Mam Dina itu orangnya
sabar. Sudah ahli di bidangnya. Tapi menurutku Beliau sering becanda. Saya
kan nggak faham candaan orang Jawa. Tapi bagus sih buat kita lebih rileks.

and also focus. And I cannot get their 100% focus all the time. When one or
two of them start to cause the whole class following him/her/them, I had better
stop. I have to make jokes. And after having fresh joke, I will be back again.
