Abstract

Test item analysis in language learning plays a crucial role in ensuring that the test can be an effective assessment tool in the learning process. It is a quantitative study that aimed to analyze Multiple Choice Questions of reading sections in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) subject for non-English majors to find out the Discrimination Index (DI), Difficulty Index (DIF), and Distractor Efficiency (DE). The participants of this study were first-year students majoring in the civil engineering program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. Researchers collected the primary data from the answer sheets of the reading section. The data analysis was conducted by using Microsoft Excel and uploaded to Anates. It quickly gave the result of all the calculations of DI, DIF, and DE. The findings revealed the DI and DIF of this test were not good because most of the results were poor DI and too easy DIF, which meant that most test items needed modifications and distractors. Most distractors used in this test were not functional and must be removed, changed, or modified.

Abstract

Online written discussion is a difficult skill for some students because of the need for more vocabulary and the time constraint in expressing their ideas. Thus, this research aims to further the use of Google Translate in EFL online written discussions. This research was conducted in one private university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, involving 134 respondents. Then researchers distributed open-ended questionnaires as the data collecting technique. The research revealed that the students used Google Translate for four different needs: for word translation, for grammar and spelling checker, for quick translation, and for arranging words into good sentences. The translation machine was the highest use of Google Translate during the online written discussion activity. On the other hand, the research result showed two Google Translate limitations: the inaccuracy of translation results and inauthentic students’ writing. Despite some drawbacks of Google Translate, the students still consider Google Translate as a helpful tool for supporting them in learning English, particularly in online written discussions.

Abstract

This research focuses on the intercultural competence of Japanese language students majoring in hospitality at three vocational schools in Yogyakarta. To be able to find out students' intercultural competence, a contrastive analysis method is used regarding politeness strategies in the context of greeting guests, asking the guest's name, asking for general information, rejecting the guest's wishes, asking for something from the guest and confirming. There are three things compared in this research, namely, politeness strategies in Indonesian sentences made by students, politeness strategies in Japanese sentences from native Japanese and the suitability of Indonesian translations into Japanese made by students. Brown and Levenson's face-threatening act (FTA) management theory was used as the theoretical basis for this research. The research results show that politeness strategies in the mother tongue do influence how students translate. In general, there are many similarities in strategies between Indonesian and Japanese regarding politeness strategies in the hospitality context. The similarity of these strategies will make it easier for students to achieve intercultural competence. It is just that a lack of linguistic ability still causes pragmalingustic failure and sociopragmatic failure. Furthermore, the difference in strategy is that the use of bald on record in Indonesian produces a bald on record translation in Japanese, which causes sociopragmatic failure.

The characters in a drama sometimes say implicitly so that what are said are different from what are meant. This study investigates conversational implicature in a drama script entitled “Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Aquilla” by Sid River. The aim of the study was to find out what conversational maxims flouted to generate conversational implicature in the Sid River’s drama script entitled “Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Aquilla” were. The research design employed in this study was a descriptive qualitative research using Grice’s theory. The results of the study showed that from 35 excerpts, 11 excerpts belonged to observing the maxims, and the other 24 excerpts belonged to non-observance of the maxims, especially flouting the maxims. The number of flouting the maxims of Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner respectively were 6, 20, 3, 3. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that the conversational maxims flouted in this drama script are maxims of Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner. Moreover, flouting the maxim of Quality mostly occurs while the least occurance is flouting the maxims of Relation and Manner. In other words, the characters in this drama script often say untruthful utterances.

Abstract

This study endeavored to find out the types of figurative language in a short story entitled “An Angel in Disguise” and the most frequent occurrence of the figurative language type. This short story was chosen because it contained good moral values. The method employed in this study was a descriptive qualitative method. The steps in analyzing data in this study encompassed reading the short story, looking for the phrases or sentences that belonged to figurative language, classifying those phrases or sentences based on the types of figurative language, interpreting the figurative language found, drawing the conclusions. The results showed that there were several types of figurative languages found in the short story. They were personification, metaphor, hyperbole, and simile. Moreover, the most frequent occurrence was hyperbole. The use of exaggeration (hyperbole) in the short story can make the readers excited in reading it and avoid the readers’ boredom.

Abstract

Learning English has become increasingly vital for informatics and information systems students, particularly as it impacts their academic and professional prospects. This study aims to explore the needs and preferences of students in these fields regarding English language instruction, highlighting the importance of tailored educational approaches. The research involves a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative questionnaires and qualitative interviews with 56 students from Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta and Universitas Bina Sarana Informatika. The findings reveal that while students generally feel "confident enough" in their English skills, their actual usage is sporadic, with most using English occasionally or seldom in daily life. Speaking practice is identified as the most beneficial activity for language learning, alongside reading scientific articles and writing. Students prefer interactive and practical learning methods, including regular speaking opportunities, constructive feedback, and collaborative activities. Despite these preferences, students face challenges such as self-confidence, low motivation, ineffective teaching methods, limited vocabulary, pronunciation issues, and grammar and reading comprehension difficulties. The study underscores the need for more engaging and contextually relevant instructional strategies, enhanced learning materials, and technology integration to better support students in mastering English for their specific academic and professional needs.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the types of pragmatic failures that occur in beginner-level Japaneselanguage classes. The data was taken from conversation texts created by students in groups over one semester from two different universities. The utterances in the conversation text that were perceived to contain pragmatic failure were categorized and then verified through interviews with nativeJapanese speakers to understand the impressions they felt when hearing such utterances. Verifiedutterances containing pragmatic failure were then categorized into pragmalinguistic failure andsociopragmatic failure. It was discovered that even in simple contexts like self-introductions, therewere many pragmatic failures that had the potential to become Face Threatening Acts (FTA) againstthe positive and negative face of the interlocutor. In the case of basic Japanese students,pragmalinguistic failures are more commonly found than sociopragmatic failures. However, bothpragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic failures tend to be more of a face-threatening act against thepositive face of the interlocutor. The research finding reveals the linguistic characteristics thatthreaten the interlocutor's positive face include using first-person pronouns excessively,discriminatory questions about origin, and misusing specific Japanese words like "anata," "sayonara,""dare," and "kore" during introductions, incorrect responses to information and the absence ofhonorifics.
