Abstract

This research discusses the teachers’ perceptions toward the contribution of vocabulary teaching with pictures for students’ visual-spatial intelligence. Visual-spatial intelligence is the potential for representing the spatial world internally in one’s mind as used in reading maps and charts, drawing, solving mazes and puzzles, imagining and visualizing. This research is qualitative research. The data was analysis by combining the result from the questionnaire and interview. Based on the results of the questionnaires and interviews, the teachers agreed that teaching vocabulary with pictures made their students more interested and active. They also agree that this method has a positive impact on the learning process of teaching vocabulary. In addition, the teachers stated that teaching vocabulary using pictures was very helpful and contributed to them in attracting students' attention. According to them, teaching using images is very important for students who have their visual-spatial intelligence. With this method, it becomes easier for them to imagine the form of a picture from a vocabulary.

Abstract

This paper reports a study on the effect of using web toon story towards students’ ability. The study was conducted at the second grade of SMK N 1 Gunung Pelindung, Lampung Timur. It used random sampling technique to select the sample. Pre-test and post-test were used as the research instrument to collect the data. In the quantitative method, the students as the subjects of participants were divided into two groups: experimental group (N=30) and control group (N=30). The data was analyzed by using t-test analysis showing that the experimental and control group mean scores in the pre-test were not significantly different. It can be seen that t-count was lower than t-table (0.229 < 2.002) and the sig.2-tailed value is higher than sig. level (0.820 > 0.05). Therefore, both experimental and control groups have the same level of writing ability before treatment. However, in the post-test, the mean score of experimental group is higher than control group. T-count is higher than t-table (10.706 > 2.002) with the sig.2-tailed value is lower than sig. level (0.000 < 0.005). Therefore, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and the alternative (Ha) was accepted. It means that there was the effect of using web toon story as teaching material towards the students’ writing ability.

Abstract

There are 3 types of turn taking strategies, namely taking the turn, holding the turn and yielding the turn. The purpose of this study is to answer the turn taking used in the classroom with the teacher and students as the participants. This study uses a qualitative approach that analyzes the results of data captured using a video recorder. After recording the data, we do the transcription of the participant conversation based on the recorder. The transcript is based on the theory from Jefferson. Then, to analyze what type of turn taking used by the participants we used Stenstrom theory. Based on the findings in this study, it was concluded that there were several types of turn taking strategies that were not found due to circumstance and timing which were not suitable for use, including 'metacomment' and 'giving up' strategy. From this research it is found that each individual has an original character that builds a conversation with a unique pattern.

Abstract

In the acquisition of language, there could be gradual construction and systematic development of the children's linguistic skills. In their communication, the children speak the words, but their sounds may not be as complete as the adults. This difference between the child and adult language has attracted the attention of scholars in language acquisition to examine if there are specific structures of the child language. This research focuses on the structures of the child's speech sound to see what aspects could explain the difference between child and adult language. The data were the speech of 37 children (Male = 20; Female = 17) with the age range of 1;2 (one year two months) to 5;2 (five years two months). The data was transcribed, and its phonological aspects were classified. PRAAT software (version 6.2.02) was used to study the phonetic properties that support the explanation of the phonological aspects, especially for intensity, duration, and pitch. The study revealed some important aspects of the child language, i.e., syllable deletion, nasal assimilation, velar fronting, lateral substitution, vowel lowering and raising, and pitch harmony. This study may shed new light on the research of speech sound structure for promoting children's literacy programs in Indonesia.

Abstract

The primary aim of this research endeavour was to investigate the influence of students' language attitudes on their proficiency in acquiring the English language. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the influence of students' attitudes on their language acquisition and to analyse the importance of various mindsets throughout the process of learning. The current study utilises a blend of qualitative research methods to evaluate data obtained from a cohort of 16 students in their seventh semester at FKIP, Universitas Bandar Lampung. The main aim of this study was to collect data on students' perspectives regarding the study of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), employing questionnaires and interviews as the principal research tools. The research findings unveiled a significant association between students' favourable sentiments towards the English language and their comprehensive academic achievement in the discipline. The study highlights three separate components of attitudes, specifically cognitive, affective, and behavioural, that exert a substantial impact on academic performance. The results suggest that students' attitudes towards language acquisition significantly influence their overall academic performance. Furthermore, the study uncovered that the linguistic attitudes of students exerted a significant impact on their proficiency in acquiring the English language. The significance of understanding students' attitudes towards the study of foreign languages is emphasised in order to improve educational results and academic accomplishments. The findings of this study have the potential to offer significant contributions to educators in the development of English-learning curricula that promote student engagement and excitement.

Abstract

This study examines the progress of Indonesian students in spoken English through a task-based approach in an EFL classroom. The aim of the study is to identify communication strategies and linguistic aspects used by the students during oral interaction and production. The data collected from 50 Indonesian students attending a Phonetics and Phonology course at Universitas Bandar Lampung was analyzed using triangulation with class diary and self-assessment questionnaires. The findings show significant improvements in oral interaction and production, including negotiation, cooperation, mediation, intonation, fluency, pronunciation, and rhythm. However, the students made less effort to intervene in the spoken code of the interlocutor and their own interlanguage. The study recommends training tasks that emphasize paraphrasing and self-improvement of oral discourse to enhance their overall oral proficiency in English. The findings of this study have important implications and provides a promising framework for improving students' communication strategies and linguistic aspects. Therefore, these findings suggest that effective language teaching should prioritize not only linguistic aspects but also communication strategies that enable effective oral interaction. This study's recommendations could be useful for language educators worldwide seeking to enhance their students' overall oral proficiency in English.

Abstract

One of the tasks in forensic linguistics, especially forensic phonetics, is evaluating the speech sounds in the recordings. The speech evaluation aims at identifying and verifying speakers to predict if the sound were spoken by the suspect or not. The common problem in the task is determining which acoustic features of the speech sounds are reliable for the speaker identification and verification. The purpose of this research is studying formant frequencies to predict high vowel sounds /i/, and /u/ by using artificial neural network (ANN). Using three various normalization methods (i.e., softmax, z-score and sigmoid), we utilized multilayer perceptron on backpropagation ANN with the architectural models of 4-5-2, 4-10-2 and 4-20-2. The results show that the z-score normalization method provides higher accuracy than the other two in all formations and the 4-10-2 formation has shown the highest accuracy (92.26%).

Abstract

Language is something that humans have from birth, both verbal and nonverbal. Every child's language development is different. In the early stages, children will use simple words to express what they want to say. Late talker refers to delays the development of spoken language in children, including delays in understanding language, pronouncing words correctly, and the ability to speaking fluently. This study aims to: 1. Explore the phonological processes produced by late talkers; and 2. Explore the dominant sound errors that occur in late talkers. The samples were 15 late talkers aged 3-5 years. The method used qualitative, the data was collected by observation and using the PRAAT software to analyze the pronunciation errors. PRAAT is software written and maintained by Paul Boersma and David Weenink from the University of Amsterdam. The findings show that there are 26 processes, namely lateral substitution, flap substitution, palatal fronting, onset deletion, velarization, cluster reduction, velar fronting, approximats substitution, affricates substitution, devoicing, favorite sound, voicing, nasalization, consonant vowel interaction, nasal simplification, vowel lowring, other harmony patterns (labial targeting coronal, labial targeting dorsal, coronal targeting dorsal), /s/-clusters, harmony targeting coronal, positional variation, syllable deletion, fricativization, final consonant deletion, reduplication, coda cluster simplification, and vowel raising. Late talkers employ velar fronting (41%), lateral substitution (40%), and cluster reduction (19%). The conclusion from this research is that late talkers employ 26 different processes and the process preferred by late talkers is changing velar consonants (k, g, ŋ) into alveolar consonants (t, d, s, z, n, l, r).
