Abstract

AbstractThis article presents the fundamental principles and model of assessment in the EFL classroom. A test as an assessment instrument on EFL classroom is designed to collect information of student learning progress. This instrument should meet the five principles: practicality, reliability, validity, authenticity, and washback. The process of assessment can   be implemented in three ways: teaching/learning-test, teaching/learning-test- teaching/learning-test, and paralyzed assessment with teaching/learning throughout the course.  Teachers often find difficulties to meet all of the principles in their teaching context. Consequently, they should be able to choose what principles they emphasize. Different choices can occur because they have different teaching context. It means that teaching context faced by the teachers will influence the options of principles to apply in assessment. Key Words: assessment, test, assessment principles, assessment model and EFL classroom

Abstract

AbstractEnglish as a Foreign Language (EFL) has been introduced inseparably from its culture, either source culture, target culture, or international target culture. The integration of cultural contents in ELT (English Language Teaching) materials is strongly related to the current status of English. Being a global and common language, many recent theories suggest that the cultural contents of English materials should not be limited to native English speaking countries and should include local cultural contents. To this end, this research is intended at investigating the existence of cultural contents in an English textbook used by Senior High School students grade X in MAN 1 (Model) Lubuklinggau, entitled Talk Active. To this purpose, the media of cultural presentation, aspects of culture, categories of culture, and implications for language teaching were investigated. The method used in this study was content analysis. Some underlyingmodels proposed by Cortazzi and Jin (1999), Moran (2001), Yuen (2011), and Xiao (2011) were used as the main framework for analyzing the textbook. The investigation revealed that: (1) cultural contents were mostly presented through reading texts and pictures (56.5%) and (88.2%), (2) the dominant aspect of culture was products (33%), (3) the presented culture were mostly about source culture (30%), and (4) there were some strategies that can be applied that related to implications for language teaching. In summary, the exposures of visible cultural aspects of Indonesian culture which were presented through reading texts and pictures dominated the exposures of culture in Talk Active. Based on the findings, it is a need for textbook developers and teachers to provide a more balanced proportion of cultural contents in terms of the dimensions (products, persons, practices, perspectives) and categories of culture (source, target, and international target cultures) to help learners develop their intercultural understanding.Keywords: Language and Culture, Cultural Contents, English Textbook.
