Abstract

This research aims to find the academic vocabularies as well as the technical vocabularies in abstracts published in reputable journals. The topics of the abstracts are retail, marketing, human resource, finance, and strategic management. Those topics are chosen since those five topics are the streams in Bunda Mulia University under Management Departments. Moreover, there is a corpus based program named wordandphrase.info to analyze both academic and technical vocabularies in those five topics. The data is gained from abstracts published in reputable journals retrieved from www.sciencedirect.com. The results show that the percentage of the top 1-500 academic words used in abstract is from 20% to 30%. Regarding the next 500 - 3.000 academic words list, the range of those words used is between 7% to 10%. The range of the technical vocabularies is, however, different from one topic to another. The range of technical vocabularies in retail and marketing is about 5%, while in finance, human resource and strategic management, the range is between 0.4 to 2%. Keywords:  academic vocabularies, technical vocabularies, business

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the role of implicit and/or explicit knowledge in the production of grammatical errors in academic texts. Explicit knowledge is defined as conscious and declarative knowledge used to monitor language production while implicit knowledge is defined as an intuitive knowledge which enables the second language learners to use the language spontaneously without any reflection (Zhang, 2015). The reasons why this research is conducted is due to the fact that the students are still producing errors even though they have learnt English since elementary school. The data is gained from the academic text written down by fifteen English department students studying in a university in Jakarta. It is analyzed by using two different measurements: (1) Delayed Grammatical Judgment Tests (GJT), and (2) Interview including Metalingual Comment to investigate the role of explicit knowledge in the production of grammatical errors. The other two measurements are also used; they are (1) Timed Grammaticality Judgment Test (TGJT), and (2) Oral Production Test (OPT) to investigate the role of implicit knowledge. The results show that 19.2% of grammatical errors are produced due to the implicit knowledge and 80.8% is due to explicit knowledge. Since the explicit knowledge plays an important role in producing the grammatical errors, it can be concluded that teaching English grammar for university students is still important. If possible, the English Grammar lessons should be given more rooms in the overall curriculum

Abstract

This research aims to find the ambiguity found in the English test of the school final exam (Ujian Akhir Sekolah Dasar). The ambiguity which is considered as a test bias, may affect both validity and reliability of the test which in the end will affect the grade gained by the test takers. The data is gained from the test items printed in the book which is sold in the bookstore. Each item will be analyzed whether it has one correct answer or not. After the test ambiguity is found, alternative test items will be proposed in order that the test will be free of the test bias so that the test can be considered as valid and reliable.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to find the request strategies and modifiers used by the students from Jakarta, Bangka-Belitung, and Pontianak while they are making requests. Those three places – Jakarta, Pontianak, and Bangka - Belitung – are chosen since the majority of the students come from those three places. It is expected that by understanding students from different origins in making requests, misunderstanding can be avoided. The respondents are 45 students studying in an English Department in a university in Jakarta. 15 of them are from Jakarta, other 15 students are from Pontianak, and the other 15 students are from Bangka-Belitung. The data is collected by delivering a Discourse Completion Test (DCT) to the respondents. The DCT contains 6 scenarios which cover the different powers and social distances. The respondents have to produce a speech act of request of each scenario. The results of this research show that the students from Jakarta, Pontianak, and Bangka - Belitung are applying the similar request strategies. Regarding the modifiers used, the students from Bangka - Belitung are using the most external downgraders, followed by the students from Pontianak. When the power is high, none of the students from Jakarta are using the external downgraders while the students from Pontianak and Bangka Belitung use them a lot. Keywords: speech act of request, modifier

Abstract

There a lot of prediction test books sold in the bookstores in Indonesia. Before doing the national final test, the students may study first from the summary provided in those prediction test books. If the lessons are incorrect, such as containing grammatical errors, most probably, the results of the test are not good. Unfortunately, this happens not because the students’ ability but because of the lessons provided themselves. This research aims to find the grammatical errors found in the summary of English lessons in Buku Jagoan: Langsung Lulus UASBN SD /MI 2013. There are four kinds of errors which are going to be observed, namely the omission, additions, misformation, and misordering. In this research, all sentences provided in the summary are going to be analyzed. The errors will be identified and classified; then, the correction is made. The result of the research  has shown that the four kinds of errors have been found in the summary of English lessons in Buku Jagoan: Langsung Lulus UASBN SD /MI 2013. Keywords: grammatical errors, omission, additions, misformation, misordering

Abstract

This article will discuss the simplifying of the teaching grammar forms, presented step by step for Indonesian students who use English as the foreign language. Mastering the forms of English tenses is discussed at the beginning since it will lead to the mastery of other English grammar points.

Abstract

Translingual practice recognizes language repertoire in which both linguistics and non-linguistics sources are put together in one’s brain and used when necessary (Canagarajah, 2013). Since one’s language repertoire is different from others, the language produced might also be different. The offline and online contexts might also differentiate the production of the language. In online communication, such as communication through WhatsApp, ones can interpret the linguistics and non-linguistic codes differently, including the emojis which are available in WhatsApp.  Due to the different language repertoire, there must be reasons why emojis are used differently by WhatsApp users. This present study aims to find the reasons why emojis are used on WhatsApp chats which are written by students in academic contexts. The data is emojis used in WhatsApp chats used by five university students in a private university in Indonesia. Even though only five participants are joining this study, it aims to examine in-depth reasons why the emojis are used in WhatsApp chats. The data is gained by asking the participants to convert the WhatsApp chats to Word files. In addition, to know the detailed information about the interpretations of the use of emojis in WhatsApp, this study applied MIMI (The Mobile Instant Messaging Interview) (Kaufmann & Peil, 2020; Gibson, 2020; Enochsonn, 2011).It is analyzed by using Netnography (Kozinets, 2015). The results show that there are six reasons why the emojis are used on WhatsApp chats.  It can be concluded that in Translingual Practice, language is not fixed; instead, the meaning emerges in the language contact zone.
