1. The Rationales of English Club Course in PGSD USD
Before conducting the research, the researcher conducted an interview with Theresia Yunia, S.Pd., M.Hum., the coordinator of English Club course of PGSD
USD in August 24
th
, 2015. The interview aimed to gather data about the description of English Club course. The description is important for the research to make the
goal of the research in line with the goal of the course. Meanwhile, interview was chosen as the instrument since the study program has not revised the document of
English Club’s description yet. The revision is conducted due to some policy changing of conducting English courses in USD.
PGSD, as represented by Bu Yunia, confirms that that the goal of conducting English courses in USD is not only for helping the students to be more
proficient in English, but also for improving the students’ self-capacity. Further,
English Club course must adopt it as its goals. In the interview, Bu Yunia said: “Now, the tutor is expected to help the students to develop all the four skills;
to be more proficient in English, in general, especially for the first semester [students]”
Although Bu Yunia only said that in her explanation of English Club’s goal, the learning process of English Club must also involve the goal of improving
students’ self-capacity. Next, in the interview, Bu Yunia also explained that the
46 study program never offers a particular teaching strategy or method to English Club
tutors. Bu Yunia, as the representative of PGSD USD for English Club course, gives tutors freedom to use any kind of teaching strategy and method. Moreover,
she also gives the tutor freedom to design learning materials, learning level in any level of English Club, assignments, and assessments. For the complete result of the
interview, see Appendix 1. Therefore, as there is not a particular teaching strategy offered by the study
program to tutors, this research would like to provide a teaching reference for English Club tutors. The new teaching strategy aims not only to help students to
be more proficient in English and to improve their self-capacity, but also to transform them to be independent English learners as English Club is conducted
up to semester four only see the result of the interview in point 5. This research, consequently, has the same goal with the course.
