Topik: Attitudes; cooperative learning; motivation to speak Fulltext: STUDENTS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS COOPERATIVE LEARNING.pdf (6.96MB) Isi artikel Dealing with reluctant learners who are not encouraged to speak in class is one of the most problems in EFL classes. Those learners tend to be shy or embarrased when they have to express themselves in front of other people as they are worried in making mistakes, and therefore this can make them unmotivated to speak. The purpose of this study was to identify factors which cause students’ reluctance to speak, and to investigate students’ attitudes towards the implementation of cooperative learning in relation with their motivation to speak. This study collected data from a questionnaire using Gardner’s AMTB (Attitudes and Motivation Test Battery), and an interview to find out the students’ attitudes after given activities using cooperative learning method, as well as the result of classroom observations. Findings indicated that 75% students gave positive attitudes towards cooperative learning in enhancing their motivation to speak although vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammatical matters still remain.The main factor of having such positive attitudes is the students work in a team, because they get help and supports from their peers to accomplish tasks and speak up. Therefore this method is also recommended to be applied for large classes. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
