Abstract
THE WASHBACK OF THE ENGLISH NATIONAL EXAMINATION ON THE PROCESS OF ENGLISH TEACHING ANG LEARNING: A Qualitative Study Conducted in Grade XII of SMAN 2 Bantul in the Academic Year of 2009/2010 By Sudiyem 032224056 ABSTRACT The general objective of this study is to establish whether there is evidence of washback of the English National Examination on the process of English teaching and learning. Specifically, it aims at identifying and describing the significant influence of the English National Examination on the actual practice of English teaching and learning in grade XII of SMAN 2 Bantul. This study is descriptive qualitative in nature. The research utilized two techniques of data gathering: observations and interviews. The participants included two English teachers and the 12th grade students of SMAN 2 Bantul. The study was conducted from January to March in the academic year of 2009/2010. The collected data were in the forms of words, clauses, and sentences derived from field notes and interview transcripts. To have more reliable data, the two English teachers and some students were randomly selected to be interviewed so as to cross-check the data collected through observations. To analyze the data, the researcher used a qualitative method. The steps to analyze the data were transcribing, becoming familiar with the data, coding, presenting, and writing up the research project. The findings of the study confirm that the English National Examination had undoubtedly influenced the English teaching and learning in the specific context of the study. The influence is negative as it made the teachers teach to the test, rely heavily on test-related materials, restrict the instructional activities only on test items discussion and analysis, restrict the use of media, devote the second term class time to test preparation, and in an extreme case, narrow down the curriculum. The results of the study also reveal that teaching materials, teaching activities, and exam preparation time were the aspects that mostly affected by the English National Examination. Thus, they are regarded as the areas of washback intensity in this study.
