Implementing Drill Technique in Teaching Speaking

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan (1) masalah yang muncul pada saat proses belajar mengajar berlangsung, (2) implementasi proses belajar mengajar yang efektif dengan menggunakan teknik Drill. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian tindakan dengan menerapkan siklus-siklus. Data penelitian diperoleh dengan cara observasi, wawancara dan rekaman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) masalah yang sering muncul berasal dari sulitnya siswa memahami apa yang dikatakan oleh peneliti dalam bahasa Inggris, (2) implementasi belajar semakin baik pada setiap siklusnya, siswa lebih berani dan percaya diri pada siklus selanjutnya daripada pada siklus sebelumnya.The research aimed at finding (1) the problems occured during the teaching learning process, (2) the effective implementation in the teaching learning process using Drill Technique. The subject of this action research was the second grade students in class VIII J of SMP N 4 Bandar Lampung, consisting 22 students. This research used action research through cycles. The data were collected through observation sheet, interview and recording. The result showed that (1) the problems faced often by the researcher came from their lack ability in understanding the researcher‟s speaking, (2) the implementation of the teaching learning process was getting better cycle to cycle, they were more brave and more confident talking English on the next cycle than on the previous

Photoactive Poly(ethylene glycol) Organosilane Films for Site-Specific Protein Immobilization

We describe the synthesis, characterization, and use of a new photoactive organosilane developed for the photoimmobilization of proteins. Thin films of 2-nitro-5-[11-(trimethoxysilyl)undecyl]oxybenzyl methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) propanoate are characterized using atomic force microscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry, and attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. When this organosilane is used to modify silicon substrates, the solvent used during deposition affects the surface concentration and morphology of the resultant film. Although films deposited from either aqueous buffer or anhydrous toluene can be used to attach proteins to surfaces, films deposited from aqueous buffer display 4−6 times less nonspecific protein adsorption that those deposited from toluene. Modification of surfaces with this type of photoactive and protein “rejecting” film should aid in the development of high-resolution protein microarrays
