description: 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.
