Abstract

In writing, to produce well-structured and understandable sentences, students must have knowledge of one aspect of grammar, namely parallelism. However, in fact, many students do not understand the concept of parallelism so that they fail to apply it in writing. This study examines the common types of faulty parallel structure in students’ argumentative writing and investigates the factors which cause the fault. This is a qualitative study that collects the primary data from students’ argumentative writing in particular topics which demand them to present their arguments and to provide their position, reasons and evidence in their writing, and the secondary data from the interview. As a result, this study discovers that students commit the faults in different types of parallelism, and mostly take place in parallel structure with elements joined by conjunction, both coordinating and correlative conjunction. The result of the interview section shows that students make the faulty parallelism due to lack of knowledge, lack of attention, and lack of vocabulary. Thus, in order to reduce the faulty parallel structure, the specific materials about parallelism should be added in writing or grammar’s lesson plan.

Abstract

This article identified many educational game applications we found online that were relevant for application among madrasa students. Many studies on learning English for madrasah students have been carried out. We have not found any studies with the theme of identifying some relevant game applications applied in madrasah environments whose learning is more Islamic in content and slightly different from other general schools in Indonesia. For this reason, we have conducted a series of data searches in the context of the scientific context of international experts and domestic publications. To get data that can answer the problem first, we conducted a comprehensive study that involved data coding, thorough evaluation, and interpretation of the data so that the data could be used as the highest answer to this elephant's question. After we studied it, we got the results and discussed them carefully. Finally, we can summarize several educational game applications we can access online that we apply to madrasas, including children's pictures dictionary, monkey puzzle game, little birds game, kids learning, Billy playing games, and several games. Another trendy game has been applied in several schools in international contacts. Hopefully, the results of this identification can be helpful in the following study.
