CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
The researcher divides this chapter into two sections: the background and
the research method. The background section constitutes information and reasons
that support the research. The research method section shows the description of
the procedure and all aspects involved in the research.
A. Background of the Study
In recent years, the English language education study program of Sanata
Dharma University has witnessed an increasing number of enrolled Papuan
students. Coming from different cultures, backgrounds and parents with limited
prior English learning experiences compared with their peers, many Papuan
students face some difficult challenges. In their past experience, Papuan students
had difficulty understanding the English language because of limited facilities
and the lack of competent English teachers.
The researcher who is an active student is being interested in finding out
about the lived experience of Papuan students particularly in relation to the
process of learning and studying at the English education. Papuan students have
difficulty in understanding lecturer’s explanation, and in adapting with classmates
because of cultural differences and low English competence, for example, in
decided to drop their course and moved to other study programs. This research
was undertaken to study the lived experience of Papuan students enrolled at the
English education Study Program at the Sanata Dharma University.
In connection with the lived experience of Papuan students, the researcher
explained the periods of their life as follows: before the study commencement and
during the study period. The lived experience of the researcher and three other
Papuan students before studying at the ELESP refers to our life in a dorm where
we learnt how to adapt to the environment and to comprehend a variety of
materials provided by lecturers and tutors.
From the phenomenological point of view, doing the research is aimed to question the way we experience the world, the world in which we live as human beings. Furthermore, the phenomenology is the study of the lifeworld as we immediately experience it pre-reflectively rather than as we conceptualize, categorize, or reflect on it. The turning to the phenomena of lived experience means relearning to look at the world by reawakening the basic experience of the world (Husserl, 1970b; Schutz & Luckmann, 1973; and Merleau-Ponty, 1962).
Dilthey (1985) suggested that most of the basic forms of lived experience
involves our immediate and pre-replective consciousness of life.
According to Darroch and Silvers (1982, p.1)as a form of “critical” thinking,
phenomenology reflects essential and thereby transcends all lived experience and
objective cognition to discover the intelligiblity that is their implicit ground.
Experience becomes something pleasant to be consumed because it represents the
reality of life because in the author’s imagination in which the learners may have
a wish to experience it or enrich knowledge.
Sometimes when we are involved in bad experience we can have bad
motivation which can make ourselves do something new or impossible things.
Based on the background above, one research problem is formulated as follows:
What is the lived experience of Papuan Students studying at the English Language
Education Study Program Sanata Dharma University?
The readers can gain some benefits from this study. First, by reading this
research, the readers are able to understand more about human motivation or
experience and to understand what really motivates them in reaching dreams or
goals. Second, the lived experience can teach the readers how to be persistent in
reaching their goals or dreams.
This study is particularly beneficial for Papuan students who are studying
or will study at the English language education. They will learn to understand
other Papuan students who have already experienced learning in English
education in order to maximize their learning strategies. The lecturers at the
ELESP will also benefit from this research in that they will be more informed
about how to support Papuan students in their study. The Papuan government will
find this study beneficial as well in that they will be equipped with valid
information about how Papuan students managed to study at the English language
education study program.
This information will help them prepare and support Papuan students
better both before the study commencement and during the study period. The
researchers can also get benefit from this study. The researcher expect, this study
to give more information and stimulate them in analyzing deeper about the lived
B. Research Method
This research was qualitative in nature. Qualitative research focuses on
description in the form of phenomenological findings (Van Manen, 1990, p. 10).
The essence or nature of an experience has been adequately described in
language if the description reawakens or shows us the lived quality and
significance of the experience in a fuller and deeper manner.
Ryan and Bernard (2000, pp. 786-87) stated that a phenomenological
research is also one of knowledge developments in a qualitative research field,
through this phenomenological research the people can see the lived experience
in their lives. As stated in the background, the focus of this research is to
analyze“ the lived Experience of Papuan students studying at the English
language education study program of Sanata Dharma University Yogyakarta.
The lived experience of Papuan students who are involved in pedagogic
relationships in a self- forgetful manner have experienced this effect of Papuan
students in their lives. It means that Papuan students faced many problems in
English education, for example difficult to contribute a group discussion,
difficulty on understanding lecturer’s explanation.
To conduct this study, an interview technique and reflections were used.
The researcher took the data from the researcher himself through self-reflection
and the interview with three Papuan students and their reflections before study
commencement and during the study period. The researcher interviewed three
Patton (1989) stated that interviewing is not to get answer to questions, nor
to test hypothese, and not to “evaluate”as the term is normally used. At the root
of in-depth interviewing is an interest in understanding the experience of other
people and the meaning they make of the experience.
The goals of this research were to assist the readers to know the lived
experience of Papuan students, how the participants adapt and how they face the
learning process in English language education study program. The result of a
phenomenologic study is a comprehensive narrative report to help people
understand the social reality experienced by the participants. “To accomplish this,
the researcher described the result of the interviews in form of narrative text
(Walker, 1985, p. 16).”
Therefore, the researcher interpreted the text to find the meanings of lived
experience of Papuan students studying at the ELESP. Then the researcher
conducted thematic analysis to build a structure of experiences based on emerging
themes.
The researcher selected the themes that have pedagogical values to
interpret the lived experiences Papuan students in learning English at the English
education. Van Manen (1985, pp. 63-66) stated that the lived experience
description is an appropriate source for uncovering thematic aspects of the
phenomenon it describes. Finally, the researcher wrote the report as the results of

CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION
This chapter consists of review of related literatures and the findings as
well as the interpretation of the findings. In the review of the related literatures,
the researcher focuses on the theories that support this research. The theories are
theories of phenomenology, theories of the lived experience, theories of
motivation, theories type of lived experience, and theories of pedagogy themes.
A. Theories on the Lived Experience
In this research, the researcher attempts to present some theories on the
lived experience that support this research.
1. Theories of Phenomenology
Experience is seen as a phenomenological process. “ Phenomenology is the
study of the lifeworld, the world as we immediately experience it pre- reflectively
rather than as we conceptualize, categorize, or reflect on it ” ( Husserl, 1970b;
Schutz & Luckmann, 1973).
Indeed, if there is one word that most aptly characterizes phenomenology
itself, then this word is “thoughtfulness.” In the works of the great
attunement. A heedful mindful wondering about the project of life, of living, of
what it means to live a life (Heidegger, 1962).
Straus (1966) suggested that“Phenomenological human science to, sponsors
a certain concept of progress. It is the progress of humanizing human life and
humanizing human instutions to help human beings to become increasingly
thoughtful and thus better prepared to act tactfully in situations”. It means that the
lived experience energizes someone to do something, for example a student has
low English competence but with someone’s support to this student s/he can
improve his/her English language competence.
Phenomenological research is a human science which studies persons. In
the research terminology one often uses “ subjects” or “ individuals” to referto
the persons involved in one’s study (Van Manen 1967).
According to Merleau-Ponty (1962), phenomenology is the systematic
attempt to uncover and describe the structures, and the internal meaning of lived
experience.” Phenomenological research is used to explain about the lived
experience in human science. In this case, the phenemenology or the lived
experience can be analyzed deeply.
2. The Lived experience
The lived experience is an important phenomenological human science.
Phenomenological human inquiry begins in lived experience and eventually turns
our immediate, pre-reflective consciousness of life: a reflective or self-given
awaraness which is as awaraness of itself (Dilthey, 1989).
A lived experience does not confront me as something perceived or represented; it is not given to me, but the reality of lived experience is there-for-me because I have a reflexive awarness of it, because I possess it immediately as a belonging to
me in some sense. Only in thought does it become objective” (p. 223).
The lived experience is the starting point and end point of
phenomenological research. The aims of phenomenology is to transform lived
experience into a textual expression of its essence – in such a way that the effect
of the text is at once a reflexive re-living and a reflective appropriation of
something meaningful: a notion by which a reader is powerfully animated in his
or her own lived experience (Merleau-Ponty, 1968). “Lived experience itself
seems to have a linguistic structure. Experience and (un)consciousness are
structured like a language, and therefore one could speak of all experience, all
human interactions, as some kind of text (Ricoeur,1981).” Covey (1989 ) states ,
When you’re proactive, you don’t deny that genetics, up bringing, and
environment make a difference. But you see them as influences only. A proactive
person exercises free will, the freedom to choose the response that best applies to
your values. In that way, you gain control of your circumstances, rather than being
controlled by them ( p. 7 ).
In this study, the researcher use the lived experience. The lived
experiences gather hermeneutic significance as we ( reflectively) gather them by
giving memory to them. Through meditations, conversations, day dreams,
lived life. Through this research the lived experience unseparated from
motivations, because of the character’s motivation can be analyzed intense.
This lived experience theories are necessary in this study, because the
researcher analyzed the past lived experience and during the study of Papuan
students, that the researcher reflect it in previous schooling and during the study
period at the English language education study program.
3. Theory of motivation
People who have motivations usually have dreams too. Everything that
happens to us begins with dreams. It is because people are free to dream
everything every time and everywhere. There is no one who can limit someone’s
dreams. Yet, dream is not enough to push someone to reach his/her goal. There is
one thing that really will be able to force someone to be motivated in reaching
his/her goal, and it is called needs (Zulkanaen & Ibib, 2007, p.13).
Need is needed because it helps motivate to lead human to do an action.
Motivation is sufficient reason to behave as they do because it can push someone
to do something that he or she wants ( Kennedy & Gioia, 1995: 60).
Motivated behavior is someone’s behavior which is set to make an action
by a need. A need here indicates that some types of someone’s satisfaction is
lacking and implies someone to reduce the dissatisfaction. Also the motivation
refers to the factors that energize and direct behavior. It means that motivation
energizes someone to do something, for example a students decided to drop his or
bad scores and dissatisfaction (Kalish, 1973, p.29, Atkinson, & Hilgard, 1983, p.
314).
4. Type of the lived experience
The lived experience is to the soul what breath is to the body: “Just as our
body needs to breathe, our soul requires the fulfillment and expansion of its
existence in the reverberations of emotional life. Lived experience is the
breathing of meaning. In the flow of life, counsciousness breathes meaning in a
to and from movement: a constant heaving between the inner and the outer
(Dilthey 1985, p. 59).”
According to (Dilthey, 1985, p. 227), lived experience is related to each
other like motif, in the andante of a symphony that, “ structure nexus” as
something that belongs to a particular lived experience ( something like a pattern
or unit of meaning), which becomes part of a system of contextually related
experiences, explicated from it through a process of reflection on its meaning ( p.
229).
In this research, the researcher takes three types of Phenomenologicals
with one type from Merleau-Ponty (1962), and two types from (Gadamer 1975,
p.266), and Husserl (1970b, pp. 33-42).
a. Orienting to the Phenomenon
According to (Merleau-Ponty 1962), phenomenology is study of essence
but the word “ essence” should not be mystified. The word “essence” may be
description that constitutes the essence of something is construed so that the
structure of a lived experience is revealed to us in such a fashion that we are no
able to grasp the nature and significance of this experience.
Phenomenology is not concerned primarily with the factual aspects of
some state of affairs; rather, it always asks, what is the nature of the phenomenon
as meaningfully experienced. Therefore, it is important for me to focus carefully
on the question of what possible human experience is to be made topic for
phenomenological investigation. In this research the researcher used own
pedagogic interest to orient to the phenomenon of the participants’ experience in
being autonomous in learning English language as part of their life fulfillment.
b. Formulating the Phenomenological Question
The researcher takes the second types of phenomenological from
(Gadamer, 1975 p. 266). The phenomenological research is to question something
phenomenological and, also to be addressed by the question of what something is
“ really” like. What is the lived exprience of being autonomous in learning
English? This question which is at the center of the prefessional and personal life
of an educator concerns the meaning of pedagogy. The essence of the question is
the opening up, and keeping open, of possibilities. But we can only do this if we
can keep ourselves open in such a way that in this abiding concern of our
question, we find ourselves deeply interested in that which makes the question
c. Assumptions and Pre- understandings
One question of this phenomenological inquiry is how we put our
understandings, beliefs, biases, assumptions, presuppositions, and theories before
we come to the significance of the phenonmenon question. In this study the
researcher prefer to suspend or bracket the researcher understandings, beliefs,
biases, assumptions, presuppositions and theories. As Hursserl used the term
“bracketing” to describe how one must take hold of the phenomenon and then
place outside of it one’s knowledge about the phenomenon ( Hursserl, 1970b, pp.
33-42).
The researcher himself pre-understood the participants’ lived experience.
The researcher presents the prefigure themes namely; the lived experiences from
a different cultural background, and limited prior English learning experiences,
compared with their peers. Many Papuan students face difficult challenges in their
study at the English language education even though, they always keep trying.
The researcher believed that there will be emerging themes in the process of
collecting texts or interpreting them. The goal of this lived experience study is to
know the lived experience of Papuan students, how the participants adapt and how
they face the learning process in ELESP.
5. The Pedagogy of Theme
Reflecting on my friends and my own lived experiences in learning
English at the English language education has become the occasion to reflect on
the themes. Since my fundamental research orientation is pedagogical, my interest
my life as a learner of English. The researcher’s behavior and his friends’
experience becomes the topic of reflection. Self-reflection is the way pedagogy
reflects on itself while serving other. “Self” and “others” are fundamental
categories of the pedagogic relation.
My pedagogic understanding of the theme of the lived experiences in
learning English at the English language education Study Program is the
experience of being committed, responsible, and motivated. This insight permits
me to make sense of the text of life.
B. Research Findings
In this part, the researcher is going to answer the research question by
providing the results of the data analysis and the interpretation of the findings
from the lived experience of Papuan students studying at the English Language
Education Study Program, Sanata Dharna University. To answer the question,
this study involved the researcher himself and three Papuan students. The three
Papuan students, who have different grades at the English language education
study program, Sanata Dharma University shared their lived experiences related
to the English language learning, in pre-study commencement and during the
study period. The researcher also became a research participant.
The researcher analysed the data from himself and three Papuan students’
reflections of their lived experiences. In my interactions or interviews with three
experiences faced in junior high school and senior high school. “The reflection
on the lived experience is always recollective; it is reflection on experience that is
already passed or lived through (Van Manen, 1990, pp. 9-10).”
1. The lived experience before study commencement
The lived experience before study commencement was divided into two:
before matriculation and during matriculation.
a. The experience before matriculation
Before matriculation, the researcher and three Papuan students found some
obstacles as a follows: 1) low English competence particularly vocabularies,
grammar and pronunciation; 2) limited competent educators; and 3) inadequate
learning facilities. Here are the reflections of Papuan students:
In my own lived experience I wanted to learn English language in junior high school, but I had low English ability, vocabulary and grammar because in before matriculation my English was not familiar. For example vocabulary ability, tenses, pronunciation and grammar, although I did not give up but always study in junior high school and senior high school in Papua. Other way I had a dictionary so there were practice myself, because I wanted to knew English language or enrich vocabularies ( SO1./ Refl.1).
There were three Papuan students who reflected that their past experience in
learning English before matriculation had similar experience with my reflection
(Refl. 1), for example low English ability, vocabulary and grammar. Here are the
reflections of three Papuan students:
books, grammar books etc. At that time, I did not give up but always try studied myself
SO2 (Refl 1). 22 April, 2014.”
Before matriculation my experience learning English I did not liked because I had low vocabularies, pronunciation, and tenses. However, sometimes I had studied effort and to know how to learnt English well. Until in University, I am also very difficulty because I did not enrich the vocabularies S03 (Refl.1)29 April, 2014 ).”
My lived experience before matriculation about learning English language in junior high school and senior high school I was interesting to study. However, I had difficult vocabulary, tenses and grammar, and also did not English books or equipment because of difficulties to learning English SO4 (Refl.1), 23 April, 2014).”
The second theme was limited competent educators. All of us mentioned
limited competent English educators as another cause of our low English
competence. Because of that, Papuan students had difficulties in learning in
primary schools, junior high school and senior high school SO3 and SO4, Refl. 1.
Here is the Papuan student’ reflection about their limited competent educators:
My experience when I was in primary school and junior high school, I liked English but there were limited educators or English teachers. Because of that I was difficult to undertood English language in junior high school and senior high school (SO1. Refl.2).
All the three Papuan students reflected that their past primary school and
junior school had limited competence in English the one mentioned in my
reflection above (My Refl. /Refl. 2). Here are the three students reflections:
During the primary school, my, experience in learning English, I did not liked. But when I was in junior high school, I liked English language however, in my junior high school limited English teachers because, of the I had low vocabularies, pronunciation, in during the study period inUniversity (S02/Refl.2, 29 April, 2014 ).”
In previous schooling in junior high school and senior school very interested to leran English language, but the problems facedmy experience was limited competent educators, so that I did not studied English well (SO3/Refl.2.23 April, 2014 ).”
The third theme is inadequate learning facilities. There are two students
reflected that their past lived experience in junior high school and senior high
school is the same with SO1 (Refl.2), and SO2 (Refl. 2). For example, they
liked English language in junior school and senior school but they did not
acquire English competence because the Papuan government did not equipped
the schools with good learning facilities. Because of that, they have difficulty in
English language. Here are their reflections:
The previous schooling experience, in my primary school and junior high school, I liked to learn English language but inadequate learning facilities. For example, English books, dictionaries, and others learning facilities. Because of Papuan government did not equipped facilities ( SO1./ Refl.3).
The three Papuan students reflected about inadequate learning facilities in
their primary school, junior school and senior high school same as my reflection (
Refl.3), such as lack of English books, and other learning facilities.
b. The lived Experience during the Matriculation
In this study the researcher explains two themes that the lived experience
during the matriculation on my own reflections and three students 1) to be
successful Papuan students need full support from faculty members; and 2)
difficuty to adapt to the teaching learning process during the matriculation.
The first theme is to be successful Papuan students need full support from
faculty members of Sanata Dharma University. In this study the researcher and
three Papuan students reflected how the Dean of faculty facilitated Papuan
students during the matriculation in order to adapt to the enviroment through the
Since the first time I came to Yogyakarta, 2009, and I lived at the dorm Sanata Dharma University and I had learnt many subjects. And I also learnt English language little but I
don’t understand more as I find difficult to understand it. This is because my former English teachers, at the primary school, and Junior or Senior High school, did not tough to me very well ( SO1./Refl. 04).
Papuan students were also supported in the form of the learning methods in
Java.
First time I came to Yogyakarta, I had difficulty to adapt in learning teaching methods, when the matriculation, because of the curriculum in Papua teaching learning was different. And another cause adapt the environment during the matriculation, the Dean of faculty gives me opportunity to learn and adapt in the society with Javanes people (SO2/ Refl 04/
23 April 2014).
Students SO1 and SO2 ( Refl.4), indicated the same experience in their
reflections about adaptation to the environment with both students’ SO3 and
SO4. For example (Refl.1), the Dean talk to Papuan students in public places.
Knowing is a mode of being of in being then this mean that every moment of
practical acting and knowing always already takes place in a mode of being that
he/she call in-being (Heidegger, 1985, p. 161).”
2. The lived experience during the study period
In this study the researcher divided the study period into the first three
semester at the ELESP (1-3) and the last semesters (4 onwards).
a. The first three semesters
In this part, the researcher analyse Papuan students lived experience in the
first three semesters at the English education study program. There are the two
English lessons. Here is the discussion about my own and my friends’
experience in our interaction with classmates:
In my own reflection when I was first time I had difficult to adapt with classmates, in during the teaching learning. And also difficult to adapt with in classroom activities that experience because of different cultures, for example group discussion or group work delivery opinion also think slowly and doubt cause did not dare (SO1./Refl. 05)
Other Papuan students also faced the same difficulty to adapt with
classmates during the classroom activities in the first three semester ( 1-3), for
example SO1 who said that:
Since when I was first time in classroom I was very difficult to adapt with classmates, in during the classroom. And also outside class because first time I had to lack confidence with classmates, so that different cultures, for example group discussion or group work delivery opinion SO2(Refl. 05) 23 April 2014.
Another two students also had difficulty in the first three semester to adapt,
in the first three semester (1-3) in the classroom activities, for example, SO1
(Refl.5) and SO2 ( Refl.5), who found it hard to adapt with classmates and in
group discussions.
The second theme is difficulty to follow English learning. This is the
reflection of theresearcher’s difficulty in the first three semesters (1-3) to follow
English learning at the English education study program:
Since the first time I learned English at the English education study program, first semester, I felt difficult to understand explanation by the lecturers. Another cause I lack of confidence and I felt difficulties to adapt during the classroom activities with my classmates. Because of different culture, however, I was learnt together with my classmates, and it would be accustomed ( SO1./ Refl.06).
Feeling “difficulty to adapt” was commonly expressed in other students’
reflections. For example, students SO2 (Refl.6), felt difficult to adapt during the
What I felt during the first time in learning English, at first I was scred because of my English ability is very weak. From that effect when I was studying at the class first semester I was difficult to adapt with my friends because of different cultures whereas, Papua and Javanes are different dialect as a Javanes language. And also in my motivation to learnt English education is(saya ingin menjadi guru bahasa Inggris, sebab saat saya di SMP & SMA disana tidak ada guru bahasa Inggris. Karena, saya sudah menghadapi banyak pengalaman belajar mengajar di kampung saya.), I wanted to be a teacher because when I
was in junior high school, and senior high school, there were not English teachers, so that I faced more experience teaching learning in my village SO2 (Refl. 06) 23 April, 2014.”
The other students also reflected that “ first time in classroom activities I
was very difficult, because lack of confidence with my classmates SO3”. Her
reflections indicated her experience during the following English learning, at the
ELESP. Here is her reflections in learning:
First time in English education study program, I had difficult to understand lecturers explanation. And also first time I had afraid to classmates because my English is not fluently so lack of confidence with classmates, and then low English ability. For adapt with classmates during the group work, or group discussion in classroom and outside class are same experience with (Refl 6), SO2 (SO4 (Refl.06) 24 April 2014).
My own and my friends’ reflections indicated similar experience in the
first semesters (1-3) at the English education study program.
b. After the first three semesters (4 semester onwards)
In this part the researcher explain the lived experience of Papuan students
after the first three semesters (4 semester onwards), at the English Education
Study Program. There are two themes: 1) our persistence to deepen our English;
and 2) the positive learning behavior in English language education.
In this study the researcher discuss the first theme that has been faced by
Papuan students after the first three semester (4 semester onwards), that is
In my own experience after three semester (4-6) still difficult to comprehend in English. Because in classroom lecturers and my classmates they used in English so sometimes difficult, to speak in English with friends, but I always effort and wanted to know how to learnt English well. At that time I never give up, but always keep study until after three semester I had inreased English language ( SO1./ Refl.07).
In my own experience in this study, sometimes “dissatisfied”, because I had
to take remedial classes for the same subjects but always had bad scores. From
this experience I did not give up but was always persistent to deepen English
language. The same experience was faced by the other three students. Here are
their reflections of their persistence to deepen English:
After the first three semester I had inreased in English language. Although, I had low vocabularies, grammar, but I always keep study English education diligently, I though that without effort I had not understandSO2 (Refl.07) 23 April 2014.”
In my experience after three semester, I had inreased English language, and confidence, even thought were still difficult. But I had study harder and harder for improved my English ability SO3 (Refl.7) 24 April 2014.”
Student SO4 realised that he needed to keep motivating himself to deepen his
English ability he studied harder. For example SO3 ( Refl.07) and he learnt
diligently. Here is his reflection on his learning experience:
In my experience after first semester, I had progress, in learning English even though still need study more. In my motivation to study English I wanted to be an English teacher because I had studied harder in English education SO4 (Refl.07) 24 April 2014.
The second theme positive learning behavior in English language
education. Learning is a process that depends on experience and leads to
long-term changes in behavior potential. Behavior potential designates the possible
behavior of an individual, not actual behavior. Here are the reflections of Papuan
students’positive learning behavior in ELESP after the first semesters (4-6):
study hard against, because I know that I will be understand. That is the my positive thinking about learning English education ( SO1./ Refl.8).
My own experience and other three students’ are similar (My Refl./ Refl.
8). The three students reflected that the first three semesters were difficult but
after the first semesters (4-6) they could increase their English language and had
positive behavior with classmates and can follows the lectures’s explanations.
But other four Papuan students have decided to drop their course and moved to
other study program, because they did not have the persistence and positive
learning behavior.
c. The last semesters at the ELESP
The lived experience of the last semesters at the English language education
study program comprised of three themes: 1) silence during the classroom section;
2) lack of motivation in learning English; and 3) lack of interest in being a
teacher. Here is the reflections of Papuan students:
In my own experience last semester I liked study English. Even though, during the group discussion I did not deliver ideas because sometimes not confidence, about the ideas which I deliver and also my English is not fluently. In myself I though that my English is better but my classmates they did not understand. Nowadays, in last semester I have study English diligent because English is importand and I want to speak English in front of others people or will be an English teacher ( SO1./ Refl.09).
The researcher found the same themes from the interview with the three
Papuan students as the reflection above ( SO1./ Refl. 9). They mentioned, for
example silence during the classroom learning, difficulty to speak in front of
classmates, lack confidence, difficulty in giving opinions in group work.
However another Papuan students was confident in learning English at the
The second theme lack of motivation in learning English in the current
semester. Learning English had a profound impact on the Papuan students’ lived
experience, attitudes and lack of motivation in learning. Papuan students reflected
lack of motivation:
In current semester I am happy to study English, even though lack of motivation in learning English, because I learn from lack motivation and I myself support and motivated, for the future I will be betterment. I believes that learn from lack in the future will be better. So whatever, I faced bad experince in first semester it is the good values (SO1./ Refl.10).”
At the current semester I am lucky because I can able to learn English language and in my
motivation I hope that I will graduate in this study program. Now I don’t think about lack
my motivation in learning English, but I will study harder even though I did not understand more about EnglishSO2 ( Refl.10) 23 April 2014.”
In the current semester learning English I am very happy. I want to say some things about my motivation in my lived experience that my motivation to learn English in this study program, I want to be become an English teacher and build Papua to implement formal and informal. Although, many challenges and too many experience face in English language education. That is my dreams in the futureSO3(Refl.10).”
My experience in current semester at the English education that, lack of motivation is better. Because learn from lack motivation in my feeling is good values on language aspects.SO4 (Refl.10) April,2014.”
There are some theories that support in this study. According to Petry (
1981, p.3 ), motivation is a concept which we use when we want to describe the
action or within someone to initiate and direct behavior. And the other
researchers states that motivation refers to factors of an individual such as needs
and interests which active, maintain, and direct behavior towards his/her goal
CHAPTER III
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
In this part, the researcher provides conclusions of the study and
suggestions.
A. Conclusions
There were three points in this research that needed to be stressed, the
lived experience of Papuan students in the previous schooling, the lived
experience during the study period at the English language education study
program and’suggestions for ELESP lecturers, for Papuan students’ and for the
Papuan government.
The researcher conducted in-depth interviews with three Papuan students
and collected their refletions created in narrative. The researcher undertook
phenomenological research. Then the researcher interpreted the data from the
researcher and three Papuan students’reflections to explore the essential meaning
of the lived experiences of Papuan students learning English at the English
language education study program. In this study the researcher focused on the
lived experience of Papuan students studying at the English language education
The lived experience of Papuan students in their learning of English
revealed a arrange of themes. Broadly these related to issues arising from the
past lived experiences in learning English in junior high school and senior high
school in Papuan particularly the difficulties because of lack of competent
English and lack of learning facilities from the government.
Firstly, in my own lived experience in the previous schooling I wanted to
study English language in senior high school and junior high school I found it
difficult to understood the lesson because of the lack of learning facilities and
competent English teachers. These past experiences made it difficult for my
friends and me to follow English lessons in the English language education study
program. However we always tried hard to do our best in learning although our
progress in learning was slow. “Phenomenology “never” makes things easier, but
only more difficult (Heidegger 200, p. 12).”
Secondly, three Papuan students and the researcher found difficulties in
learning English namely; tenses, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabularies. SO1
explained that she liked English when she was in junior high school and senior
high school but she did not have rich vocabularies because of limited competent
English teachers in her previous schooling. “A phenomenology that is the
sensitive to the lifeworld explores how our everyday involvements with our world
are enriched by knowing as in being ( Heidegger, 1985, p.161).” Similary, (SO1
Refl.2 and Refl. 3), reflected that he liked English language in junior high school
and senior high school. But he did not English competence because the Papuan
the previous schooling. All these factors made it difficult to learn English at the
English education study program.
To be successful, Papuan students need full support from faculty members
and lecturers so that Papuan students can move forward confidently and
successfully in their learning. The Papuan students need to experience success in
learning though little so that they can have the motivation in learning. “ Success
person is someone who is brave to take action and convinced that he is able to
reach his goal (Waringin, 2007, pp. 72-73).”
One lived experience which occupies almost Papuan students is condition
of low English competence. During the teaching learning process, they
couldn’t fully understand what was being taught. It is a big challege for the
students themselves and also the lecturers in developing learning methods,
strategies, and techniques as well as learning materials into a learning- teaching
condition which is enjoyable, effective and efficient. “Learning is the act,
process or experience of gaining knowledge or skill. Learning is the lifelong
process of transforming information and experience into knowledge, skills,
behaviors, and attitudes. Learning process, of course will not run in a smooth
and free-toll like highway ( Cobb, 2000).”
There are two sides of the result of learning success. Generally Papuan
students of English language study program do not want to fail sometimes they
forget, however, that failure is an inseparable part of the learning process. The
autonomous learner will take the challenge to make new spirit, create new
strategies, and build stronger efforts to reach a success.
B. Suggestions
In this part, the researcher gives suggestions for the English teachers, for
the future students of English language education study program, and for the
Papuan government.
1. For ELESP Lecturers
The lecturers at the English language education study program can also
benefit from this research in that they will be more informed about how to
support Papuan students in their study. The lecturers need to recognize their
students from Papua intensively. The lecturers also need to understand Papuan
students or whatever their background study is and can give the assessment and
advocate the students by improving their learning quality from management,
resources and learning strategies. There should be harmonious relationship
between the lecturers and students so that there will be more synergic education
movement.
2. For Papuan Students
Papuan students can also benefit from this research in that they will be
prepared in their English and they will learn from other Papuan students who
have already experienced learning at the English language education study
to the process of learning at the English language education study program to
achieve their fulfillment.
3. For the Papuan Government
The Papuan government can benefit from this research in that they will
be equipped with valid information about Papuan students’ struggleat the English
language education study program. Because of that, the Papuan government
should provide learning facilities so that the next generation of Papuan students
