| description | Initiated from in-depth observations on the performance of English teachers at junior high school level, this study
analysed teachers’ ways of integrating teaching materials and implementing learning strategies that empowered
critical thinking frameworks. A case study design was employed to investigate how Plus-Minus-Interesting (PMI)
learning strategies in telling daily life stories improved students’ critical speaking skill (CSS) and to identify the
constraints faced by the teachers in implementing PMI learning strategies to overcome their teaching problems.
Six English teachers from different junior high schools in North Bandung, Indonesia and their students were
recruited as subjects of this study. Classroom observation, in-depth interviews and some relevant documents were
administered to collect the data. The data were then described, coded, categorised, and analysed to answer the
research questions. The results of observations indicate that PMI learning strategies in daily life stories were
executed in three stages, including the opening, core, and closing. These stages were performed through several
main activities, from brainstorming to playing games, from storytelling to doing a focused-group discussion, and
from story mapping to evaluating. In addition, the results of interviews and documents analysis show that this
learning model could promote students’ enthusiasm in the learning activities and the students were able to convey
ideas by referring to their daily problems exposed in the contents of daily life stories. |
