Abstract

Being polite linguistically is one issue that is faced by the students right now. The way they text their lecturer reflects their politeness. This research aimed at finding out the students’ politeness in texting their lecturer which in this research was their final project advisor. The research was conducted in qualitative and the data were taken from the students’ texts received by the lecturer. In this research, the text was collected from WhatsApp application. There were 37 messages collected and analyzed. Most of them were texts from the students to their advisor. The data were analyzed by using theory from Brown and Levinson (1987) as the guidance. The result showed that most of the students started their text with the greeting but mostly in informal way. Then, some FTAs were also found in the students’ texts which were possibly done by the students by coincidence. They seemed to be unaware to destroy the hearer’s face (in this case the lecturer). The most used politeness strategy by students in texting the lecturer was bald on-record (18 messages) and the least used was off-record (one message). Then, a few texts showed that some students applied negative politeness strategies where they considered status, time and apology for interrupting the lecturers. Positive politeness was also found in the students’ texts to the lecturer. This research is expected to inspire other researchers to conduct more comprehensive research related to the students’ politeness in texting their lecturers. This research did not only offer an analysis of students’ politeness to the lecturers which has been commonly done, it showed the politeness of the students to their advisor. This research focused more on investigating the students’ politeness in texting their advisor through WhatsApp Text.

Abstract

Indirect written feedback is crucial to be conducted since errors are unavoidable in the process of writing. However, many studies have been undertaken in university contexts. Thus, this qualitative case study was carried out to examine a teacher's indirect written feedback practices in senior high school context. The data were obtained from observations, document analysis, and semi-structured interviews through purposive sampling. The findings revealed that coded feedback was mainly used, supplemented by uncoded feedback and commentary. These imply that the coding system is effective in guiding the students to be problem solvers and independent writers. However, the teacher's inconsistency in giving codes emerged because of the use of a large number of codes. Thus, it is suggested to reduce the number of codes and provide sufficient activity to increase students' understanding of the codes. The results of the study are significant to help teachers adjust appropriate methods to teach writing. The results also give long-term benefits for the development of students' writing ability. For further research, it is important to analyze the effect of indirect written feedback strategies on the students' revisions as well as students' preferences on these strategies.

Abstract

This research was conducted to find out problems faced by students in critical reading because based on preliminary research, it was found that the students had problems in reading. For that reason, this research used descriptive method to analyze the problems faced by students in critical reading. Population of the research was English department students of a university in Padang. Cluster sampling technique was used to choose sample. The sample was a class that consisted of 34 students. Data were taken by using test and interview. Try Out was also conducted before taking data. The result of test showed that the scores of students in the sub skills of critical reading were poor in average. From all students tested, none got scores in the range of 66-100. In contrast, 50.00 % of the students got score in the range of 41-55 (D), 35.29 % of them had score in the range of 0-40 (E), and there were only 14.70% students got score in the range of 56-65 (C). Then, based on interview done, the students admitted that they had problems in answering questions related to critical reading especially to the subskills tested, writer’s purpose, writer’s tone, and writer’s point of view. The problems were vocabulary, background knowledge, complex sentences, knowledge of the skills, knowledge of strategies to know the skills, and others. Based on explanation above, it can be concluded that students’ critical reading ability is still poor and based on the interview, they had problems in critical reading. For that condition, it is suggested to English Department to revise the syllabus for teaching Reading Class. The lecturers are also hoped to give extra exercise and assignment related to critical reading to the students to make them become accustomed to reading.

Abstract

Mobile-assisted Language Learning (MALL) has been globally popular. Yet, experimental studies investigating the results of different treatments between additional MALL and standard MALL implementations in Indonesian university context are still understudied. This research sought to investigate the extent to which additional MALL activities as a treatment to an EFL experimental group of university students could improve their English given the limited class time and large sized classes. The subjects of this study were two second semester classes of English Literature students. The experimental class, a low-performing group, was asked to watch a youtube video twice or thrice a week in addition to the standard online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic while the controlled class, a better performing group, was not given this treatment. The findings revealed that (1) experimental students significantly improved their pronunciation, intonation, vocabulary and fluency but not their formal assessment results; (2) though assigned additional MALL activities, the experimental group, due to limited financial ability for internet,  spent roughly as much time as the controlled group; ((3) bad internet connection and low economic affordability contributed significantly to the less satisfactory result of MALL; (4) due to the standard online learning during the pandemic, both experimental and controlled students experienced increased exposures, enthusiasm, motivation, range of independent activites, autonomy and English ability; (5) real time students’ collaboration is challenging. This study suggests that MALL somehow allows greater English improvement and autonomy development and therefore is recommended that universities and respective local governments especially in remote areas provide the necessary supports.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the students’ level of anxiety in Speaking English in online classes at one university in Indonesia. The research used mix-method of quantitative and qualitative design. The quantitative data were analyzed by using The FLCAS (Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale) by Horwitz et al., (1986) and qualitative data were analyzed by using Maxwell’s theory (1996). The data were categorized, coded and contextualized. There were 42 students who participated in the research. The research found that ten students were in anxious level, 23 students were in mildly anxious level and nine students were in relaxed level. The students admitted that grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation were the students’ problems in speaking. The factors caused them to have the anxiety in speaking can be categorized as communication apprehension, test anxiety and fear of negative evaluation. From the result of this research, the institution and the lecturers are expected to play major role in managing and reducing the students' anxiety. Various teaching methods and medias are hoped to make class become more interesting. Further research can be done by involving more participants and in experimental research to find out the solution to reduce the students' speaking anxiety.
