Written retelling techniques as a strategy to enhance students' learning readiness in a language theory class
Keywords:
written retelling technique, pragmatics, readiness, language theoryAbstract
This study aims to propose a solution to enhance students’ readiness in understanding Pragmatics material. The method is implemented using a written retelling technique for the students attending the Pragmatics class, which involves 30 students.This technique has previously been shown to improve learners’ comprehension and engagement in language learning contexts (Rudiawan & Jupri, 2020). The data consists of the texts written by students after they have read and understood Pragmatics. The results show that the four stages of the written retelling technique can improve students’ readiness in studying Pragmatics. It is suggested that this technique be applied more widely in other language theory courses to help students strengthen comprehension and motivation before classroom instruction.
