ABSTRACT

Y. Gatot Sutapa Yuliana: Development of Integrated Task-Based English Language Learning Model for Vocational Technical School. Dissertation, Yogyakarta: Graduate School of State University of Yogyakarta, 2012

The study was undertaken to: (1) obtain a description of the steps of learning English through task-based English language learning model  (PBTT model) at the technical vocational school and its improvement on the students’ performance of their English learning  result and (2) know the effectiveness of the implementation of PBTT model  at the technical vocational English learning.

The method used in this study is research and development (R & D); the research used to produce a particular product, and test the effectiveness of the product.  The stages of development consists of four phases: (1) pre-insvestigation, (2) design, (3) validation, test, and revision, (4) the final product. The resulting product of the phases is validated by the three validator-reviewer teachers/practitioners and the conceptual experts: a matter expert, an expert of learning technology, and an expert of design & evaluation. Assessment was carried out two times: (1) limited testing, and (2) after extended testing. Limited testing and extended testing are facilitated by the English language teachers  and a collaborative observer. To measure the level of understanding between the expertized validators on the assessment of experts, analyzed with Cohen's Kappa Coefficient and percentage of agreements were used, while to measure the level of skill competencies that are the focus of the development of spoken and written skills, used quasi design experiment with pre-test posttest was employed. The research subjects were the first semester students and teachers of the class XI, from 4 vocatioanal technical schools and one of technical industry school with pusposive sampling technique.

The findings of the research-development are as follows. (1) The model is significantly can contribute to the development of English vocational technical competency-focused on spoken and writing skills. Through two stages: pre-development and development phase, this model is theoretically and empirically tested. (2) The instrumentative model produced in the learning instruments (handbook/the manual model, RPP, model materials, evaluation tools) is  contextual-effectively able to demonstrate comprehensive and optimal result, (3) The model meets the valid, practical, effective criteria, (4) The responses of students and teachers are very positive; and, students and teachers objectively say that this model is effective and works well as an alternative model of development of English skills both spoken and written for vocational technical school students. Data judging the results of the learning process by quasi experiment show group model is significantly faster growing than the conventional group in competency of spoken and written English. Additionally, the quantitative data prove that the model is very feasible for use in the learning of spoken and written skills, and the qualitative data also confirms that the students can develop their own potential in an integrated and total progress. The integration of the model provides motivational opportunities for students to master not only knowledge but also the soft skills and maturity to be creative in accordance with the orientation of the competence of acting out; and meets the relevant conditions (real world) with a miniature world of work -going into. With a degree 100% of  positive experience in learning through the model, students / teachers consider that the adaptive English competency of learning can be manipulated by the integrated task-based language learning techniques.
