Abstract

Performing a persuasion speech and delivering meanings through spoken text poses many challenges for students. As a part of interpersonal meanings, appraisal helps the speaker expressing their position in speech through the choice of words or diction. The chosen diction enables the speaker to precisely realize the message she/he intends to convey through spoken text. Furthermore, in order to guide the listener so they can understand of speaker’s ideas, a clear speech structure is needed. Integrating the theories of appraisal (Martin and White, 2005) and speech structure (Sellnow, 2005), this thesis was intended to explain the appraisal and the speech structure on the students’ speeches in speech contest of ESA WEEK Competition. By using Discourse Analysis (Bavelas, 2002; Celce-Murcia and Olshtain, 2007), the data – in the form of transcripts from video recordings – were analyzed. The findings map out the high use of appreciation of attitude, entertain of engagement, and focus of graduation applied. Those appraisal, moreover, were highly found in the body of the speech. Finally, this thesis provides suggestions that teaching the speech structure and how to convince the listener by using appraisal is needed for better speeches.

Abstract

A journal article review is an academic writing that summarizes and assesses others’ research-based articles. For doctoral students, reviewing a journal article is usually to train them for building their argument and broadening their knowledge of an issue. The purpose of this study is to investigate the quality of article reviews written in English by one class consisting of twelve Indonesian EFL doctoral students in their first semester at a university in Semarang, Indonesia. Twelve reviews written by the students were collected. The evaluation of their writings is based on Systemic Functional Grammar, particularly the interpersonal metafunction analysis, that is, the analysis of generic structure and appraisal. Therefore, this study employs textual analyses. The analysis of generic structure refers to the template from the Writing Centre of Thompson Rivers University, and the analysis of appraisal follows Martin and White’s appraisal system (2005). The discussion of this article explains the generic structure and lexico-grammatical realizations of evaluative stances used by the students. The findings indicate that not all doctoral students can organize their review following the generic structure and optimize the use of appraisal items. This exploratory investigation provides some pedagogical implications for the teaching of academic writings in EFL contexts.
