Abstract

Cooperative learning has a long history in higher education, dating back thousands of years. Small groups are used in particular so that students can maximize their own and each other's learning. Cooperative learning, on the other hand, is more than just putting students in groups; it also involves adding fairness engagement into the group learning process. At Universitas Syiah Kuala, this study sought to determine the impact of free riding and social loafing on group conversation. Using genuine experimental design, a total of N=70 people were separated into one experimental class and one control class. The results revealed between the experimental group and the control group that in the experimental group, the subjects tended to rate and be judged by their group peers as optimum contributors (SCI = 1). This SCI of 1 means that group members contribute as they should, nothing more and nothing less. This indicates the absence of social loafing and free riding.Keywords: Cooperative learning, free riding, social loafing, group work.

Abstract

This study aimed to look at the translator's translation tactics and determine which ones are utilized the most and which ones are used the least. In the movie Grown Ups, the researcher focused on the translation procedures in idiomatic idioms from English to Indonesian. The method of data collecting in this study was content analysis, and the research design was descriptive qualitative. The researcher used Baker's (2018) theory to categorize the different types of translation strategies, which include: 1) using an idiom with similar meaning and form, 2) using an idiom with similar meaning but dissimilar form, 3) borrowing the source language idiom, 4) translation by paraphrase, 5) translation by omission of a play on idiom., and 6) translation by omission of the entire idiom. The results revealed that the movie contained 94 idiomatic expressions, with the most common strategy being translation by paraphrasing (62 data or about 65.96 percent), followed by translation by omission of a play on idiom (21 data or 22.34 percent), translation by omission of a play on idiom (four data or 4.25 percent), and using an idiom of similar meaning and form (three data or about 3.19 percent). Furthermore, the translator's least-used tactics were adopting the source language's idiom and translation by excluding the full idiom with two data points each, accounting for 2.13 percent of the total. These tactics assist the translator in overcoming the challenge of translating idiomatic terms, as well as make the translation results enjoyable and acceptable to the audience.Keywords: Translation, idiom, American movie, translation strategies.

Abstract

This study aimed to chart out the effects of teaching reading using Know-Want-Learned (KWL) strategy of Blachowicz and Ogle. This study employed quantitative method by having one pre-test and posttest research design, conducted at SMPN 2 Kejuruan Muda, Aceh Tamiang District, with a total sample of 26 students. The test was analyzed by using t-test.  The study revealed that there was an improvement from the pre-test to the posttest and that the teacher had implemented KWL strategy accordingly so that the students improved their reading comprehension skill. In addition, KWL is one of the basic strategies developed to know the extent of learners’ ability and the way they commit it on their own. Thus, the strategy itself has an effect to trigger the students to be autonomous learners. However, it is suggested that the teachers modify some steps in the KWL procedures to eventually motivate the students in learning reading.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate communication speaking skill strategies applied by two groups of English foreign language learners in two boarding senior high schools in Aceh, Indonesia. Of the successful group, there were 52 learners and of the less successful group 24 learners. To collect the data, this study employed the observation sheet adapted by Tarone(1978), which determined nine categories of communication strategies; approximation, word coinage, circumlocution, literal translation, language switch, mime, appeal for assistance, topic avoidance, and message abandonment. The students were observed during their speaking class. The result of this research is the literal translation, approximation, and language switchbecome the most frequent strategies used by the less successful learners. It implies that the students have had difficulties communicating in the target language. On the other hand, successful learners prefer to use approximation, literal translation, and appeal for assistance strategies. It implies that the students tend to speak and communicate well, if not yet fluently. Based on the findings, it is suggested that English teachers should introduce several communication strategies for both groups of learners to improve their effective communication.

Laughter is an easily reachable way that can be used to erase barriers of communication for educational purposes. The purpose of this paper is to seek out students’ perception of humor added in teaching English and how that humor influenced students’ engagement in English classroom activity. This study employs research instrument of questionnaire and observation concepts through qualitative design. There are 78 students of multi-background: gender, level of intelligence and social background as research participants. These backgroundsareintended to obtain objective perception of the students. The findings revealed that the majority of students believed the teacher’s humor could prevent them from feeling stress of learning English, develop a better relationship between teacher and students, help them remember and understand the lesson, encourage them to be more active in the classroom and ease them in learning English. However there are some obstacles to overcome during humor application that apparently the English teachers need to build a good relationship and mutual trust with students and understand students’ interests, likes and dislikes prior to applying humor, so that the humor would be more likely to be welcomed and it would not cause emotional and psychological impact such as bullying and etc for the students.
