Abstract

Sociolinguistic is an interdisciplinary field of science that studies language in relation to the use of that language in society. The process of communication in which two languages used together by the speakers, sociolinguistics experts call it code mixing. Code-mixing is the use of two or more languages to interact with speakers in situations that require mixing the code. This research aims to discover the types and reasons of code-mixing used in the Gita Savitri YouTube channel. In this study, the writer used qualitative research design in the descriptive form. The results reveal 164 data of code-mixing. The first video, with the title ”Jadi Kaum Open-Minded,” with a total of 92 data, contains intra sentential and intra-lexical code mixing; the second video, with the title “Pengen Jago Bahasa Inggris,” with a total 44 data code mixing, contains intra sentential and intra lexical code mixing. The last video the titled “Memahami Tone Policing: Taktik Membungkam Suara Yang Terpingirkan,” a total of 28 data containing intra-sentential and intra-lexical code mixing. The writer found the reasons for code mixing: talking about a particular topic, repetition used to clarify, and being emphatic about something in three videos. In summary, findings indicate that the three videos on Gita Savitri’s YouTube channel have a lot of code-mixing for viewers to know this phenomenon with the most significant number being in the video with the title “Jadi Kaum Open-Minded”.Keywords: analysis,code mixing, types of code mixing, reasons for code mixing

Abstract

Code-switching, the alternation between two or more languages, is a prevalent yet underexplored phenomenon in multilingual EFL classrooms in Indonesia. This study investigates the functional roles of code-switching employed by English teachers at SMAN 1 Rambah, emphasizing its pedagogical and managerial contributions. Addressing gaps in prior research, which primarily focus on English and Bahasa Indonesia, this study uniquely incorporates the role of local languages such as Mandailing and Malay. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, video recordings, and semi-structured interviews with two experienced English teachers. The analysis revealed five key functions of code-switching: explaining complex concepts, translating vocabulary, repeating for reinforcement, checking comprehension, and managing classroom interactions. These functions significantly enhance students' understanding, engagement, and overall learning experiences. However, excessive reliance on code-switching may impede immersive English language practice, presenting a pedagogical challenge. The findings underscore the importance of balancing code-switching with English immersion to optimize learning outcomes. This study extends the theoretical discourse on multilingual pedagogy by highlighting the strategic integration of local languages into EFL teaching. Implications include fostering a more inclusive and culturally responsive language education framework, which accommodates linguistic diversity while promoting English proficiency. These insights contribute to the global discourse on multilingual education, particularly in settings where linguistic and cultural diversity intersects with educational objectives.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menyelidiki kesulitan yang dihadapi oleh siswa kelas sepuluh di SMAN 3 Tapung Hulu dalam memahami teks naratif dan mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya. Menggunakan model survei deskriptif kuantitatif, penelitian ini mengumpulkan data dari 51 siswa melalui tes pilihan ganda dan kuesioner. Tes membaca menilai delapan indikator pemahaman, yang menunjukkan skor rata-rata yang sangat rendah pada indicator Identifikasi Informasi Faktual (39) dan Identifikasi Referensi (35), yang mengindikasikan tantangan besar dalam menemukan rincian spesifik dan memahami bahasa referensial. Indikator lainnya, seperti Identifikasi Ide Utama (46) dan Identifikasi Inferensi (48), juga menunjukkan kinerja yang lemah, sementara Identifikasi Struktur Umum (51) memiliki skor tertinggi, namun tetap mencerminkan pemahaman yang buruk secara keseluruhan. Kuesioner mengungkapkan dua faktor internal utama yang memengaruhi pemahaman: Kosakata Terbatas (7,28%) dan Pemahaman Kalimat Panjang (6,95%), bersama dengan faktor eksternal seperti metode pengajaran dan pengaruh lingkungan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kosakata terbatas dan lingkungan sekolah yang menantang merupakan hambatan utama dalam pemahaman teks naratif yang efektif. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan peningkatan pengembangan kosakata, penyempurnaan strategi pengajaran, dan pembentukan lingkungan belajar yang mendukung untuk meningkatkan keterampilan membaca siswa dan keterlibatan mereka dengan teks. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengansurvei deksriptif. AbstractThe research investigates the difficulties of tenth-grade students at SMAN 3 Tapung Hulu face in comprehending narrative texts and identifies contributing factors. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive survey model, the study employed multiple-choice tests and questionnaires to gather data from 51 students. The reading test assessed eight comprehension indicators, revealing particularly low mean scores in Identifying Factual Information (39) and Identifying Reference (35), indicating significant challenges in locating specific details and understanding referential language. Other indicators, such as Identifying Main Idea (46) and Identifying Inference (48), also showed weak performance, while Identifying Generic Structure (51) had the highest score but still reflected poor comprehension overall. The questionnaire highlighted two primary internal factors affecting comprehension: Limited Vocabulary (7.28%) and Understanding Long Sentences (6.95%), alongside external factors like teaching methods and environmental influences. The results suggest that limited vocabulary and a challenging school environment are major barriers to effective narrative text comprehension. The study recommends enhancing vocabulary development, refining teaching strategies, and fostering a supportive learning environment to improve students' reading skills and engagement with texts. This research is a quantitative study using a descriptive survey.

Abstract

This research examined university students’ ability in paraphrasing paragraphs. This descriptive quantitative research took students of the English Education Department of Universitas Riau as samples using cluster random sampling technique. The selected sample was a Class of the English Study Program, Universitas Riau, which consists of 34 students. The data were collected by administering an online test of paraphrasing paragraphs through Google Form.  The collected data were analyzed by three raters and the results were calculated and classified by using adaptation guide rubric from Brown (2004). Three aspects of paraphrasing were assessed and analyzed: contents of information, choice of words and writing convention. This study found that the ability of the Students of English Study Program in paraphrasing paragraphs was an unacceptable level, with total points; 11.21 for Content Information aspect, 9.52 for Choice of Words aspect, and 9.75 for Writing Conventions aspect. In order to answer the research question on how bad the ability is, the only clear answer is that all facts that are found within the research are only referring to the ‘crisis’ of paraphrasing ability shown by the university students themselves. This finding showed that the university students’ ability in paraphrasing paragraphs is low, due to the facts that; First, they get a low-level score in all aspects of paraphrasing. Second, they still make many fatal mistakes in every aspect of paraphrasing like; skipping important details in paraphrasing that may lead to misinformation, misusing the vocabulary and diction in creating the words in paraphrasing, and severe problems in the grammar, punctuation, and spelling (writing conventions). Moreover, choice of words seems to be the most difficult aspect for the students since it had the lowest score than other aspects in paraphrasing. This research suggests that English students should be exposed to more practices in their academic writing subject about paraphrasing skills.
