The study found that many Acehnese-Chamic derived lexical items were not used by the younger speakers of Acehnese. Furthermore, there was language change which occurred among the younger speakers of Acehnese which consisted of phonological loss in the form of initial consonant dropping, initial syllable dropping and monopthongization. Besides, lexical loss in the form of primary loss and secondary loss are also occurred among younger speakers of Acehnese in this study. Moreover, the younger speakers of Acehnese felt that Acehnese and Indonesian used at home, Indonesian is dominantly used in campus, Indonesian is more convenient than Acehnese, Acehnese used for making jokes, and Acehnese used depending on the partner of speaking were the factors which hinder them from using Acehnese-Chamic derived lexical items.

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to find out the types of language learning strategies employed by higher and lower achieving students on speaking skill and to find out the impacts of language learning strategies employed by them. A questionnaire was used as the instrument of this study. The sample of this research were 82 students who were chosen based on the criteria: (1) the students already passed all the Speaking I to IV classes, (2) the students consist of higher achieving students (score ≥B) and lower achieving students (score ≤C), and (3) the students allowed the researcher to obtain their speaking scores. Thus, purposive sampling was used here. In this research, the researcher used Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) by Oxford (2003) to determine the students’ language learning strategy. The result revealed that the higher achieving students used memory, cognitive, compensation, metacognitive, affective, and social strategies in learning speaking. On the other hand, the lower achieving students generally did not use the learning strategies in their learning activities. Therefore, as the impact of this learning habit, they do not possess a good speaking ability and achieve low scores in speaking class.

These factors have proven that the Javanese language shift into the Acehnese language happened in Pulo Loih village, Pidie. There were four patterns of language shift when interacting, namely monolingual, subordinate bilingual, equal bilingual, and monolingual interaction patterns.
