Abstract

AbstractGrouping words into phrases is one of the problems faced by English students in using the language. Noun phrase as a basic constituent of a sentence is seen very problematic. The paper tries to explore how well second year students of English Department analyse noun phrases and their problems in doing it. There were 28 chosen taken students through proportionate stratified sampling as the sample. The text designed consisting of 20 noun phrases were distributed to the sample to be analysed. Each noun phrase was generally analysed into three aspects, namely, identifying type/component, its function within a sentence, and role of each element. The analysis was by scoring and putting them into percentage. Then, they were categorized into excellent, good, average, poor, and very poor. The result shows that about 40% of sample failed to analyse noun phrase correctly. Their way of analysing noun phrase was in average level on identifying type/component (58.29%), very poor level on its function within a sentence (45.5%), and good level on the role of each element of noun phrase (67.53%). The problem was mainly students’ lack competence in identifying the part of speech and its function for each point.Key Word: students’ ability, analysis, noun phrase, text

Abstract

This research was aimed at finding out discourse markers used by presenters in thesis seminar presentations and oral responses in discussion sessions, difficulties faced in using discourse markers, and the causes of difficulties. The research design was descriptive qualitative with discourse analysis method with 20 graduate students that presented their thesis proposal and the research result. There were six types of discourse marker investigated in this research, namely topic change markers, contrastive markers, causative markers, elaborative markers, inferential markers and interactional markers. The research findings showed the six types of discourse markers were used in presentations and oral responses in discussions. Yet, they were mostly found in the presentations. Based on the findings, Elaborative marker is a type of discourse marker used mostly by 20 presenters in both activities. Also, it was discovered that the presenters’ difficulties in using discourse markers are difficulty to control him or herself not to keep on using the same words, phrases or sentences from each type of discourse marker in delivering utterances, underuse, overuse, and misuse of discourse markers. Those difficulties were caused by some factors such as lack of practice, the influence of mother tongue or first language and culture, and students’ awareness about the use of discourse markers. In conclusion, English graduate students still face difficulties to employ discourse markers in delivering statements.
