The task, namely Language Output-based Task, is derived from the functions of the language output hypothesis proposed by (Swain, 1985). The three functions of language output are the noticing or triggering function, the hypothesis-testing function, and the metalinguistic or reflective function ((Swain, 1995);(Swain, M., and Lapkin, 1995). In her latest definition, Swain defines language output as an act of producing language either in form of speaking or writing (Swain, 1995). The study chose writing as the productive skill since the existing curriculum as this study conducted emphasized on accuracy in writing. In order to measure the students’ accuracy, the narrative text was involved in the study as it has a moderate level of language features. The samples of the study were the 60 first-year students of two different classes consisting ...

Therefore, this study is designed by involving students’ creativity and part of language acquisition (i. e. speaking performance). Recent works have shown that the discussion on aptitude is very much alive after a relatively silent period of about thirty years. Early studies have shown that the established language learning aptitude tests show high correlations with intelligence and controlled language production, but low correlations with free oral production and general communication skills. The conventional aptitude tests do not tell the whole story of a person’s second-language learning ability. To challenge the old findings, in this research, the students’ language learning aptitude which is measured by an aptitude test is correlated with their speaking performance. It is an extending work to be up-to-date with t...

This study focuses particularly on the problems that are being faced by both teachers and students while teaching-learning process. The method of this research work is qualitative method. The data were gathered through self-completion questionnaires and interview administered to 33 student and four teachers for questionnaire. Questionnaire for teacher is to understand more fully how teachers think about overcrowded classrooms as well as about classroom interaction, also to gain through overview about what the relationship between crowded classes and teacher-student interaction, and for student is to understand more fully whether overcrowded classes have an effect on teacher-student interaction, a short questionnaire was designed to gather opinion. ...
