IMPLEMENTASI MODEL PEMBELAJARAN GENRE BASED APPROACH DALAM PENGAJARAN MENULIS TEKS IKLAN (ADVERTISEMENT) MELALUI LESSON STUDY

Writing skill is one of the most important language skills to be mastered by students. There have been many learning models developed for writing especially in English but not all English teachers know and implement these learning models. One learning model that has been extensively researched and proven to be effective in teaching English writing skills is the Genre Based Approach. The English teacher's mastery of the Genre Based Approach learning model is very important because apart from being proven effective, it is also recommended by the government, especially in the implementation of the independent curriculum. It is projected for learning in the coming year, GBA will be required to be used as a model for learning English in schools, including in vocational schools. The service method is carried out using the lesson study model. Lesson study is carried out in three cycles until finally the students get a score that exceeds the KKM score. In addition to quantitative data in the form of increasing students' English writing scores, the volunteers also distributed questionnaires that asked students' perceptions after learning using the Genre Based Approach. From the answers to the questionnaire it can be concluded that GBA cognitively adds to their insights and this insight can be used for ideas in writing and affectively GBA makes them interested and challenged to write

DEVELOPING TEACHERS SKILL IN CREATING PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING TOOLS: LESSON STUDY-BASED RESEARCH

The purpose of this study is to describe the teachers’ skill development of creating problem-based learning tools. The subject of this study were 32 students of the PPG study program that has reached the phase of developing teaching and learning tools.  The research instruments were an observation sheet, interview, and documentation taken from the lesson plan developed by the students-teacher. The results show a good improvement from cycle one to cycle two. Learning tools consisting of lesson plans, teaching materials, media, LKPD and assessment instruments produced by participants demonstrate the application of collaborative learning models (PBL and PjBL), contextual teaching materials and up-date internet-based learning media (application Word Wall, Quizizz), interesting worksheets and assessment instruments that are in accordance with KD and GPA that have been set at the beginning. &nbsp

Teacher’s Strategy In Teaching Vocabulary To Deaf Or Hard-Of-Hearing Students

Deaf students are students who have little or no speech depending on the severity of the hearing loss, meanwhile hard of hearing students are students who may have speech impairments as a result of their inability to hear their own voices clearly. By applying the qualitative approach with the descriptive method, the study depicts the strategy used by the teacher in teaching vocabulary to seven students of the eleventh grade at SLB Dharma Wanita-Bogor, which was conducted from May 15 to December, 15th 2022. The data were collected through observation, documentation, and interview. The observations were done from August to September 2022, meanwhile, the interview was on 15th October 2022. The participants of the study were two targeted English teachers at SLB Dharma Wanita-Bogor who fulfilled the criteria that they have a background in teaching English, have been teaching English for more than 5 years, are qualified, and are experienced in teaching deaf students. From the observations, the documentation, and the interview, it is revealed that both teachers had carried out the steps written in their lesson plans completely, and the strategy used by both teachers are repetition, lip reading, gesture, body movement, through-the-air language comprehension, and the use of media. In lip reading and through the air communication, they pronounced each word carefully and slowly and asked each student to repeat what they said, used the media/pictures which are available in the class, and asked the students to look up the dictionary to find the words. If the students still find difficulties in saying the words, both of the teachers used sign language, through air conversation or body movement. They confess that the students so far can follow the lesson well, and their final grades are considered enough until good

Meningkatkan Kemampuan Mahasiswa dalam Mengidentifikasi Diphthong melalui Teknik Pengajaran Drim Berbasis Lesson Study

English Phonology is one of the subjects that is considered difficult to learn. Students assume that it is difficult since they have to memorize theories related to English pronunciation. To solve this problem, a team of lecturers agreed to apply a learning model called DRIM†(dictating, reading, identifying, and modeling). The research was conducted within four cycles through Lesson Study program. The learning model consists of: 1) dictating, students listen to and write the sentences recited by the lecturer; 2) Reading, the students are given a text containing words with diphthongs. Those steps are done before the lecturer explains the material on diphthongs to diagnose students ability to recognize diphthongs; 3) Identifying, the students are asked to identify the given text and find words containing diphthongs After the students have understood the diphthongs and known how to pronounce them, the last step is 4) modeling. In modeling step, the students are asked to recite some words containing diphthongs and have other students repeat. By applying the model, the advantages that can be taken are as follows: a) giving more exercises and more various activities, b) improving listening skill, and c) growing students self- confidence to give examples to their other classmates
