Abstract

There is evidence of the benefits of using storyboards. Most of the previous studies focused on the results of applying storyboards for students' achievement, however, there are limited empirical studies on teacher’s perceptions of the application of storyboards in teaching reading for students with special needs, especially mild-mentally retarded students. This study offers a qualitative research that aims to investigate teachers' perceptions of the use of storyboards in teaching reading and its benefits and challenges with two English teachers as the subjects. A semi-structured interview was conducted to collect the data. The findings of this study revealed that there were similarities in teacher’s perception and the benefits derived from the implementation of storyboard, but there were differences in their practice and challenges encountered in the teaching reading process to mild-mentally retarded students.

Abstract

Many studies use a developmental design for media such as flipbooks, but there is small research that focuses on the implementation of flipbooks for English lessons for formative assessment. This study aims to explain the procedure and the experience of using flipbooks for English lessons for formative assessment because it is fully integrated into the teaching and learning process. A teacher and 8_grade students taking an International Class Program (ICP) were observed and interviewed. This study shows that the implementation of using flipbooks for learning English for formative assessment can be implemented well in schools that have technological means to support them. Some students feel like it is fun and practical to use flipbooks but there are also some who even feel uncomfortable using flipbooks.

Abstract

Abstract Maintaining communications among teacher-students or student-student is crucial in EFL classroom settings. EFL learners of beginner levels often find themselves in challenging situations in dealing with new language concepts they learn. As a result, they frequently come up with strategies that teachers occasionally fail to comprehend. This paper aims at investigating the speech act of requests used by young EFL learners in communicating their thoughts. This qualitative study focuses on how EFL learners employ requesting strategies in L2 utterances and the roles of pragmatic and language transfer in the process. Data were collected from 20 EFL learners of lower language proficiency through classroom oral activities. This study sees L1 transfer as a phenomenon that contributes to a successful classroom communication. The findings demonstrate that language and pragmatic transfer play a pivotal role in the learners’ requesting strategies. To deal with pragmatic transfers, young learners tend to use indirect speech acts by delivering repeated requests as the strategy that potentially encompass hidden intentions or messages. On the other hand, linguistic transfers initiated the learners to utilize raising intonation strategy in affirmative statements for making requests. This study also suggests that teaching English as L2 to young learners should also take account of the pragmatic knowledge besides linguistic competence. Keywords: Language transfer; Pragmatic transfer; Speech acts; EFL young learners Abstrak Menjalin komunikasi antar guru-siswa atau siswa-siswa penting adanya dalam konteks kelas pembelajaran EFL (Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing). Pelajar EFL tingkat pemula sering kali berada dalam situasi yang menantang kemampuan berbahasa ketika dihadapkan dengan konsep bahasa baru yang mereka pelajari. Akibatnya, mereka tak jarang melakukan strategi yang terkadang gagal dipahami oleh guru. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki tindak tutur permintaan yang digunakan oleh pelajar EFL muda dalam mengkomunikasikan pemikiran mereka. Studi kualitatif ini berfokus pada bagaimana pelajar EFL menggunakan strategi meminta dalam ucapan L2 (Inggris) dan peran transfer pragmatis dan transfer bahasa dalam prosesnya. Data dikumpulkan dari 20 pelajar EFL dengan kemampuan bahasa rata-rata pemula melalui kegiatan lisan di kelas. Studi ini melihat proses transfer bahasa L1 (Indonesia) sebagai fenomena yang berkontribusi pada keberhasilan komunikasi kelas. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa transfer pragmatis dan bahasa memainkan peran penting dalam strategi mengungkapkan permohonan. Untuk menghadapi transfer pragmatis, pelajar muda cenderung menggunakan tindak tutur tidak langsung dengan strategi penyampaian permintaan berulang yang berpotensi memuat maksud atau pesan tersembunyi. Sedangkan transfer linguistik memprakarsai pelajar muda untuk menggunakan strategi intonasi meninggi dalam pernyataan afirmatif untuk membuat permintaan. Studi ini juga menyarankan bahwa pengajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing atau kedua untuk pelajar muda juga harus memperhitungkan pengetahuan pragmatis selain kompetensi linguistiknya. Kata kunci: transfer bahasa, transfer pragmatis, tindak tutur; pelajar muda EFL

Abstract

The literary genre known as "digital literature" includes works of fiction and nonfiction written only for digital media such as computers, tablets, and smartphones. Because of its convenient qualities, this genre may be read and enjoyed anywhere, especially when it has already been posted to a digital site. Such literary works might not offer universal traits like those of works on paper. This is just unusual in that it is solely made with digital tools. Digital literature may provide particular techniques to reading and analyzing it, since the academic world likewise moves toward paperless resources. The current study examines the difficulties, limitations, and potential solutions for seeing digital literary works as online resources, using some novel methods from literary and cultural studies and multimodality that may be used to evaluate digital literary texts. The article presents and examines a few ideas that will significantly improve the actions and reactions of EFL students’ active participation in literary criticism and analysis

Abstract

This study aims to examine translation techniques and the translation quality of the ESL student’s translation products in translating words or phrases of cultural terms. This study was a descriptive qualitative design. The data collection techniques applied content analysis. The subjects of this research were 10 English Literature study program students who have taken the Introduction to Translation course. The instrument used in this research is the text of travel writing published in Colors, an inflight magazine, which was published by the Indonesian national airline. The results of the study depicted some shifting in cultural categories, namely from the ecological category to the concept and material culture, the habit category becomes an activity category and the activity category becomes an organization in the target language. Another one is the blurred distinction between leisure and concept in religion. Implementing translation techniques that are oriented to the source text, such as pure borrowing techniques, literal translation, and established equivalences produces a high translation quality. Applying these techniques is characterized as foreignization. In short, the student's translator should be aware of not only their linguistic competence but also their transfer competence to produce a good translated text. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji teknik penerjemahan dan kualitas terjemahan teks terjemahan mahasiswa penutur bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing di dalam menerjemahkan kata atau frasa istilah-istilah budaya. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif deskriptif. Adapun teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan analisis dokumentasi. Subyek penelitian ini yakni sepuluh mahasiswa program studi sastra Inggris yang telah menempuh mata kuliah pengantar ilmu penerjemahan. Sumber data utama berbentuk frasa dan kata yang diambil dari teks catatan perjalanan berupa majalah Color, majalah penerbangan maskapai Garuda. Hasil penelitiannya menunjukkan adanya pergeseran kategori budaya, seperti budaya ekologi bergeser menjadi budaya konsep dan material, kebiasaan menjadi aktivitas, dan aktivitas menjadi budaya organisasi. Temuan lain adalah perbedaan yang bias antara tempat wisata dan konsep beragama. Sementara penerapan teknik penerjemahan peminjaman murni, penerjemahan literal, dan padanan lazim menghasilkan kualitas terjemahan  yang baik. Metode penerjemahannya berorientasi pada teks sumber. Pilihan tersebut menunjukkan ideologi forenisasi. Kesimpulan yang dapat ditarik adalah penerjemah pembelajar hendaknya dibekali kemampuan kebahasaannya dan kemampuan kompetensi mengalihkan pesan dari teks sumber ke dalam teks sasaran.

Abstract

Self-regulated learning is an educational process that enables students to self-regulate when determining ideas or concepts and evolving their learning strategies to accomplish attainable outcomes. The present study investigated self-regulated learning strategies undergraduate English department students used and examined the significant relationship with students' grammar achievement. The researchers conducted a quantitative correlational design on 70 undergraduate English department students. The researchers collected the data through a self-regulated learning strategies questionnaire and students' grammar scores. The first result showed that the peer learning strategy was the dominant strategy used by students with the highest average score (M= 3.48, SD= 1.14), and the less dominant strategy with the lowest average score is time and study environment (M= 3.03, SD= 0.99). This study applied descriptive statistics using the SPSS program to describe the first research problem. The second result was analyzed using Pearson correlation, indicating a low negative correlation between self-regulated learning strategies and students' grammar achievement. Thus, this study concluded that the higher the grammar achievement students' got, the less self-regulated learning strategies they used, and the less grammar achievement students' got, the more learning strategies they used.
