This study reports the challenges and solutions found by Acehnese lecturers during the implementation of the British Parliamentary Debate System (henceforth, BPDS) in teaching critical thinking to university students. This study uses a qualitative approach, from observations to in-depth interviews, to discover the problems in the implementation of the debate techniques in teaching speaking as experienced by the lecturers. The subjects of the study were five lecturers who have been teaching English speaking courses at five private higher education institutions in Aceh, Indonesia. The results showed that there were three challenges in the implementation of BPDS; these included institutional, procedural, and intellectual challenges. The institutional challenges comprised limited meeting quantity and limited duration in a class meeting. The procedural challenges were the insufficient duration of case building for beginner students and the inability of BPDS to cover the population of averagerange students in a class. Meanwhile, the intellectual challenges were the lack of students' general knowledge and poor speaking skill. From the interviews, the lecturers also proposed some solutions to these problems, and they are discussed in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
