Abstract

Being able to use and understand English is definitely a must for teachers and students in Fledgling International Standard Schools. It is due to the fact that English language is used for learning purposes and activities in the classroom. Consequently, teachers and students must be competent in using strategies to negotiate meaning which will enable them to understand the materials. This study investigated the meaning negotiation in classroom interaction between teachers and students in science classes of Fledgling International Standard School. This study explored two research problems dealing with (1) the way how meaning is negotiated in the classroom interaction between teachers and students and (2) the problems encountered by the teachers in negotiating meaning in the classroom interaction. This study employed a qualitative case study method. The data were collected through observation and questionnaires. The data were analyzed by the framework of meaning negotiation strategies suggested by Long (1983 in Abdullah 2011). The results revealed that the teachers and the students used seven strategies, namely clarification request, comprehension check, confirmation check, self repetition, other repetition, self correction, and approximation. It was also found that teachers faced several problems in negotiating meaning especially in grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. The existing problems indicate that the school is not yet ready to implement Fledgling International Standard School. Based on the result, it is recommended that the teachers need a bridging course on teaching English for science classroom.
