Abstract

ABSTRACT
This present study investigated the behaviour of first year government middle school students in Banda Aceh (Indonesia) (N=780) toward learning English as a Foreign language, as the dependent variable, in the context of differences in gender and school types (bilingual and monolingual schools), through a control/experimental group, pretest/posttest study. Data were collected during 2011 and a linear, unidimensional scale was created using Rasch Measurement with the Rasch Unidimensional Measurement Model (RUMM2030) computer program. The construct validity of the data was tested by designing the items in ordered patterns of item difficulty which were then compared with their Rasch-measured item difficulties for different groups for females and males. Repeated measures Analysis of Variance (rANOVA) was used to test for main and interaction effects with SPSS to compare bilingually-taught students with monolingually-taught students. The results are discussed.
