Abstract

This study examines thematic progression in thesis abstracts written by English students in Indonesia University of Education. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method since it attempts to describe and analyze textual data accurately. The data for this study come from repository.upi.edu. Five undergraduate students’ thesis abstracts were downloaded from the website published in 2014. After gathering the data, a thematic progression theory proposed by Fries (2002) is employed to analyze the data. Findings show that constant theme is the type of thematic progression that is mostly used the thesis abstracts by 52.64%. The linear theme and split rheme thematic progression pattern are also found in the abstracts. However, split rheme is found only once. Among the problems the students have probably encountered are how to write a coherent abstract and to create an appropriate logical relation among sentences in their writing. This study concludes that the students’ thesis abstracts mostly use constant theme pattern, which suggests their writing is not quite well-arranged. Since an abstract should be written in more or less 200 words and it should represent the important information of the research, students may be confused as to how to summarize their research into 200 words.Keywords: thesis abstracts, thematic progression, English students

Abstract

This study examines the second language acquisition of the pragmatic particles téh and mahin L2 Sundanese by Indonesian native speakers. Two groups were compared: (i) a native control group and (ii) an advanced group of Indonesian-speaking adult L2 learners of Sundanese. A pragmatic context-matching felicitousness judgment task wasemployed, following Rothman (2009). A descriptive analysis and a quantitative analysis of the results were conducted, which specifically compared the performance mean score of the L2 learners to that of the native control group. A t-test was used with the alpha setat (0.05) for a 95% confidence level. Assuming the Interface Hypothesis (TsimpliSorace, 2006; Valenzuela, 2006; Sorace, 2007, inter alia), the study presents evidence contrary to the claim that properties mediated at the syntax-pragmatic interface are more difficult to acquire than purely syntactic properties. The advanced L2 learners of Sundanesedemonstrate the native-like L2 knowledge of téh and mah.

Abstract

Writing a narrative text, although it is just so stories, requires a creative imagination and sufficient knowledge of its genre. This paper aims to find out the students’ difficulty in writing narrative text and offers the pedagogical implication to alternate it. Document analysis was employed to compare narrative texts produced by an expert and three students within SFL framework focusing on experiential meaning. The findings show that the experiential meaning was not well-construed in the students’ texts. The students have not richly developed the plot into a more imaginative story due to the simplicity of the series of events, particularly in the complication stage, the lack of circumstance to build the setting of the story, and the improper number of process types, except material process, signified with the frequent repeated lexical choice. To address the students’ difficulty of building the field of the story, this paper provides a practical pedagogical implication of SFL, experiential meaning in particular, for teaching narrative writing by making use of visual images following Genre-Based Approach and multimodal approach. This paper is expected to contribute to the SFL in teaching practice and inspire EFL teachers to design a creative narrative teaching by using the visual images.

Abstract

Abstract Being able to speak a foreign language fluently is not enough in cross-cultural communication. In order to avoid miscommunication, the speaker needs to have the target language culture knowledge. Several utterances can be found rude by some cultures, while some culture might find it common. This could happen due to the differences of cultures and value. In small talk such as making a request, different culture has their own strategy, and some culture might find it rude when the speaker do not share the same the value and culture. This study aims to analyze American bilinguals in making a request in Indonesian and English. The data were collected based on DCT request scenarios and observation. There were five American participants who were involved in this study. The findings showed that American participants tended to be indirect when they made requests in English even though some of them were direct and they changed into direct strategies when they made a request in Indonesian. This study also reveals that in terms of making a request, Americans are more indirect when it comes to making a request. Therefore, it is suggested that having intercultural knowledge is important in learning a language in order to avoid misunderstanding.
