| Abstraksi Narasi | : | In my position teaching at a large urban university in Chicago, I work with adult immigrants between 18 and 65 years of age. As working adults, they have a pragmatic attitude toward their studies. There are few if any motivation problems, and they do nearly any amount of homework I assign. Upon completion of their ESL classes, some of them leave the university and others continue with university studies. Of those who stay in the university, most study business or computers. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Taking the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) has long been a necessity for students who wish to study at universities in the United States. More than 2,400 colleges in the Untited States and Canada require the test results (Educational Testing Service 1999). But a number of foreign institutions have also begun requiring TOEFL scores. For example, two universities in Milan, Italy, Politecnico di Milano and Universita Commerciale L. Bocconi, now have a TOEFL requirement for their students. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The careful interpretation of numbers is an integral part of being a teacher. Every time a teacher marks an examination and students interpret the marks, they are using statistics. Teachers need to know that words such as average have several meanings and that authors can slant their argument by using the definition that best suits them. Unfortunately, introductory textbooks of statistics usually start at too high a level and neglect to teach the underlying concepts. This article presents 10 keys for teachers seeking to understand statistical reasoning and research design. The first 6 keys cover basic definitions in statistics. Keys 7 to 10 help teachers grasp the principles underlying the design and interpretation of research. None of them requires more than simple arithmetic. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | This article reports on part of the findings of a large-scale investigation into the English language needs of students of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The three main objectives of the research were to (1) identify students` perceptions of their language needs and wants, (2) discover how students rated their own competence in particular skills in the academic, professional, and social domains, and (3) determine the extent to which their opinions matched those of their English teachers. The study is based on a questionnaire survey of 701 tertiary learners and 47 English teachers at the university and forms a major part of the continual enquiry into the specific language needs of the university student population. This article describes the research study and reports some of the significant findings. It concludes with a discussion of the implications of the findings in the dynamic process of English language curriculum planning, syllabus review, and materials writing. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Teacher education is based on the assumption that students will eventually teach in the way that they were taught (Johnson 1995). At Inonu University in Turkey, an ELT teacher education program has set out to change students` beliefs about language learning and teaching during their preparatory year, and thus to create a new type of language teacher in Turkey. Since these careers to import the nation of learner-centered education. This means organizing a class so that students are more involved in the teaching and learning process and the teacher is less likely to dominate classroom events (Nunan1995). We have found that a learner-centered classroom enhances students` development in the process of becoming teachers. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Pronunciation has often been viewed as a skill in second language learning that is most resistant to improvement and therefore the least useful to teach. It thus comes as no surprise that scant attention is paid to pronunciation in the Malaysian school curriculum. This article is the result of an investigation into the pronunciation training component of a TESL programme. Although it focuses on teaching pronunciation in a specific context in Malaysia, the article raises issues that will be of interest to ESL practitioners in other contexts. It begins with a description of the pronunciation training component under investigation. Then, based on students` responses to a questionnaire, it discusses three issues: can pronunciation be taught to near-adult L2 learners, should pronunciation be explicitly taught, and what should be the goal and focus of pronunciation teaching? |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | As we enter the new millennium, there are two realities that few people would contest. The first is that English is an essential world language today. The second is that the Internet is here to stay. As university teachers of academic English, we decided to explore the possibilities of combining these two realities. This article describes the steps we have taken toward that goal. English for academic Purposes (EAP), as taught at Bar Ilan University in Israel, emphasizes reading academic texts. This focus on reading has not allowed for a holistic approach in our curriculum, so the courses tend to lack variety. Even with carefully chosen materials, we often encounter low interest and motivation among both students and teachers when an entire course is based on teaching the skills needed for the comprehension of academic texts. (The advanced level course is 108 hours weekly for 27 weeks). |
