“…This idea is in the same vein with the one suggested by Vasquez, Hansen & Smith (2010) who classify reading strategies which engage students with the texts into three groups according to the phases in reading activities. The first group of strategies is found in pre-reading activities which includes the strategies for understanding the organizational structure of a text, using graphic organizers, text features, anticipation guides, concept maps, predicting and confirming activity.…”

“…This strategy requires students to stop and reflect what they have read. When they stop for a while, they write all the information related to the text based on some questions (prompts) given to them before reading the text; the answers are then written on sticky notes that they place on the margin of the paper; later, the sticky notes will be used to generate the discussion about the content of the text (Vasquez, Hansen & Smith, 2010). The interesting point in this strategy is the use of sticky notes.…”

-This study investigates the effect of applying the talkto-the-text strategy on students' reading comprehension of narrative text. By employing quasi-experimental research design, specifically pre-and post-tests design, talk-to-the-text reading strategy was implemented as a treatment in experimental class while the utilization of conventional strategy was taught in control class. The study was conducted by involving eighth grade students of a Junior Secondary School in Bintan, Indonesia. Cluster random sampling was employed in order to determine the samples. In order to gain the data, a reading comprehension test was used as the research instrument. Based on the data analysis using t-test, the result revealed that talk-to-the-text strategy gives better effect toward the comprehension of grade eight students in reading narrative texts.

“…As for Evaluation, this study uses the English Language Assessment model by Vásquez et al (2010) involving all aspects of writing, listening, speaking, viewing, and other alternative performance-based assessments, such as presentation, drama, and group projects. It is believed that by reading poems and understanding the authors, and the culture and society that produce them, and subsequently writing poems, students develop the habits of reading, which increase their creativity and innovation, not only for their own joy of learning, but also to cultivate personal reflexivity and societal, ecological sensitivity.…”

“…In the light of sustainable development framework, I renewed the existing syllabus and chose teaching materials which can be possibly linked with conservation themes. Students were later assigned to choose their learning materials as part of their self-monitoring skills (Oxford via Richards & Lockhart, 2005;Vásquez et al, 2010;Negretti, 2012).…”

This article presents a research report on poetry teaching to Indonesian EFL students to investigate their environmental concerns. It first explores the theoretical concepts of global citizenship in the teaching of language and literature in the light of Ecohumanism. Applying metacognitive strategy or self-regulatory learning method, this study uses students' evaluation results, assignments, and reflection notes as data sources. It aims to find out to what extent reading and subsequently writing poems about the environment can raise students' awareness to care for the sustainability of earth resources. The present study reveals that, firstly, there is a lack of concern for the care of the earth, proven by the students' choice of poems to read and write. Secondly, the study shows that self-regulatory learning is suitable to implement here as shown from the students' expanding interests to deal critically with people-nature relationships through poetry reading and writing at the later stage. This study concludes that Ecohumanism as an educational paradigm can establish rationale to include ecology in language and literature teaching. The "what, how, why, and what next" in language and literature teaching should then be geared and habituated continually towards respecting Earth in this mutually dependent world.
