Abstract

According to Harmer, grammar and vocabulary are the elements of language. Therefore, they are essential in both language learning and language teaching. Halliday, furthermore, views that grammar and vocabulary (lexis) are mutually dependent and defines this interdependency as lexicogrammar. This research aims to describe the initial lexicogrammatical competence of the freshmen in the English Education Department in Universitas Nasional Karangturi. This research needs to be done since the initial linguistic competence is crucial for improving all language skills. To find out the learners’ initial lexico-grammatical profile, the TOEFL test battery, particularly section 2 (the structure and written expression test), was chosen as the instrument to describe the initial lexicogrammatical competence of the 16 students. After the test was administered, the average score was calculated, and the frequently missed questions were classified based on the classification of skills in the TOEFL book. The result shows that the students’ average score is 17.44 out of 40 and there are 23 questions frequently missed. These 23 frequently missed questions, moreover, comprise 22 lexicogrammar-related skills. The description of these 22 lexicogrammatical problems, thus, can inform the English Department regarding the grammar topics that need to be addressed when teaching the students. In this way, it is hoped that the findings can make a substantial contribution to what will be improved in teaching lexicogrammar

Abstract

Teaching English, particularly teaching its lexicogrammatical concepts, has been a challenging problem for teachers in Indonesia during this pandemic. The 'new normal' era has forced teachers to find cloud-based lexicogrammar materials for modeling activities in their online classes. These lexicogrammar materials are fortunately abundant on the internet, yet teachers, who are not English native speakers, still must search for authentic and relevant models. The purpose of this research, therefore, is to explore and present authentic and relevant cloud-based English lexicogrammar materials that can be good models for Indonesian teachers. In this exploratory study, both online and literature types of research were conducted to answer the formulated hypothetical question, "Does the internet really provide English teachers with authentic and relevant cloud-based materials for lexicogrammar modeling?" The result showed that so far, there are at least four websites providing authentic and relevant cloud-based English lexicogrammar materials for modeling activities in distance learning. Moreover, these four cloud-based materials provide free and easy access for internet users and various materials such as quizzes, videos, and downloadable materials; hence, good models for Indonesian English teachers. This research, moreover, also found that in terms of cloud-based materials, not only can internet-based materials be used as authentic and relevant materials, but even the 'offline' computer based-materials, which have been familiar among teachers before the pandemic, can also be authentic, relevant, and compelling cloud based-materials with the help of the common online platforms such as Zoom or Google Apps.
