63 the students. In conclusion, the NE preparation gave negative washback to the
private religion-based vocational high school in Yogyakarta. The second question was how the washback happens to the students. In
answering the answer of this question, the researcher synthesized Hughes’ as cited
in Bailey, 1996 tracheotomy and Bailey’s 1996 model of backwash. The
discussion showed that the washback was determined by the micro and macro level of washback. The first conclusion showed that the washback effect was negative
washback. It also affected to the process in the mechanism of washback. As the result, students expected themselves to the view that the most important was just to
graduate, no matter what the result. In the other words, the teaching and learning had lost its value.
B. Reflections
This part provides the reflections made by the researcher about the education in general and English department in particular. The reflection focus on
the relationship among students, teachers, and the school authority. It correlated to the importance of honesty and compassion.
The research revealed a huge dishonest practice, the fraudulent. Fraudulent practices obviously do not promote learning. The test result from a fraudulent
practice does not show the real result. It is because the result does not show their original understanding. The discussion shows that all parties are involved in the
fraudulent practices. It is obviously not right. Teachers and the school authority should have given an example to respect and apply honesty as the foundation of the
64 education. It is because the quality of the education is not only valued from any
quantitative scores, but it is more how they value the process they have honestly. This study also acted as a bridge to interpret the random facts faced by the
parties to be easily understand. The researcher wants to invite all the parties and readers to realize the sympathy they have to all who suffer washback of the NE. In
the discussion, the researcher mentioned that the parties gave up the washback they encountered. The researcher invites to fix the communication among students,
teachers, and the school authority to minimize the impacts of washbck. What they need to have is just to be listened to. They need to share their untold anxieties. For
instance, small discussion or sharing would be a good way for them lighten their pressure.
