abstract: The aims of this research are (1) to reveal what are the initial perceptions of people on English before coming to some courses in Kampung Inggris, (2) to explain how the learning process in Kampung Inggris construct the language skill, and (3) to understand how the learning process re-construct the learner’s perception toward English
This is Qualitative Research. The research used ethnographic and interpretivism or social constructivism as a paradigm. The research site was Kampung Inggris Tulung Rejo village, Pare sub-district, Kediri district, East Java. The research participants were the students in the village. The data collection techniques were observation and interview. The observation was conducted in three different courses in the village. The data were analyzed using iterative model from Miles, Huberman and Saldana (2013). In this model, data condensation, data display and conclusion drawing/verification were used after the data were gathered. In the process of data analysis, multiple coding and categorizations were used to figure out patterns, and the research theoretical framework was used to interpret the data. The data were displayed descriptively using diagrams and figures.
This research found out that (1) the students’ initial perception on English varied according to their past experiences. Most of the perceptions were negative affected by the students’ relationship with their teachers, environments and feedback of their learning. In the students’ reality, English was viewed merely on its intrinsic feature. This position of English in their reality was shifted due to their life experience. (2) There were several knowledge constructions in Kampung Inggris. They were construction of learning reality, construction of speaking skill, and construction of grammar knowledge. The learning reality was constructed by the location of the village, the limited learning time, other students who had similar motivation and the variation of the programs offered in the village. The speaking skill was constructed by direct speaking practice, indirect speaking practice, and vocabulary and grammar knowledge review. The grammar knowledge was constructed by grammar knowledge review and grammar exercise. The learning process in Kampung Inggris followed the learning principle in social constructivism, but there were some activities that still used traditional or transmission of knowledge process. (3) There were two new students’ perceptions constructed after learning in Kampung Inggris: English became easier to learn and the learning process became joyful for the students. The factors of this construction were the people who communicated with the students, the environment, and the learning process experienced by the students.
