Abstract

For decades, English teaching and learning in Indonesia have been through a number of changes and revision of curriculum. One of which was widely and extensively used was the 2013 curriculum in which all the aspects of learning has been provided inside of it. Unfortunately, teachers recently have neglected the importance of second language acquisition (SLA) in their activity. In this paper, the researcher investigated the relationship between SLA learning strategies with the newest revision of 2013 curriculum. The focus of the study was the curriculum document in the form of its lesson plan created by a teacher. The document was compared with O’Malley and Chamot’s topology of learning strategies (1990). The researcher also had an interview session with the teacher in charged in one of junior high schools in Ambal, Kabupaten Kebumen. The result showed that teacher didn’t consider the importance of SLA as the result of overwhelming administration duty. On the other hand, O’Malley and Chamot’s learning strategies is dominantly reflected in the curriculum. However, the well-support resources didn’t give much contribution to students’ achievement. Therefore, there should be evaluation and improvement from both parties involved in language learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the taxis system and logico-semantic relations within clause complexes in a spoof text using the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) as developed by Halliday and Matthiessen. Spoof, a genre designed to amuse through unexpected twists, is examined to determine how its structure aligns with spoken or written discourse. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, and data were drawn from a spoof text containing at least 30 clauses, selected randomly from a humor website. The analysis focused on identifying the types of clause interdependency (parataxis vs. hypotaxis) and the logico-semantic relations (expansion and projection) present. Findings reveal that paratactic relations dominate over hypotactic ones, with 65% of the clause complexes connected paratactically. This indicates a greater resemblance to spoken discourse, which contrasts with previous studies suggesting written texts typically feature more hypotaxis. In terms of logico-semantic relations, extension (as part of expansion) is the most frequent, and projection—especially locution—is used more often than idea. The frequent use of locution projection, which is more typical in spoken discourse, further supports the conclusion that spoof texts, though written, adopt structures associated with spoken language. This tendency likely stems from the genre's purpose to entertain, as simpler structures enhance readability and comprehension. These findings contribute to a better understanding of how humor texts manipulate linguistic structures to achieve communicative goals.
