Abstract

The phenomenon that happens in communication, especially in terms of speech acts often becomes an issue in society. The function of a language or utterance that does not only contain literal meaning but has a certain intended meaning often causes misunderstanding in communication. Since the development of technology, speech acts also can be found in a movie. Since, in the movie, the producer sometimes raises a story of a certain social life, Di Timur Matahari's movie was chosen to be the object of the study. This movie raised the culture of north Indonesia (Papua). A descriptive qualitative method was applied in this study. From collected data, some types of illocutionary acts were found. Those were expressive, assertive, and directive. The most dominant type of illocutionary acts found in the utterance was directives. The result of this study is essential because it shows what type of illocutionary act that was mostly used in the movie.

Abstract

The need for learning English as a foreign language is rising due to the interconnectedness of today's globe, where English is the universal language of academics, commerce, entertainment, and culture. This has raised interest in the automatic approach to evaluating spoken language competency. In this sense, learning grammar is one of the most important components of language competency. This study aims to analyze the grammatical speaking errors made by the second-year Universitas Bumigora students learning English as a foreign language in the Speaking 3 course. The methodology involves a qualitative research design using the surface strategy taxonomy to analyze and classify the data collected from 20 English literature students. The errors are categorized into omission, addition, disordering, and selection. The types of errors identified include plural and singular nouns, subject-verb agreement, part-of-speech word orders, regular and irregular verb usage, and word order. Data were obtained through two cycles; in the first cycle, the participants receive feedback on their errors, and their insight on the errors is also considered in cycle 2. Data analysis on both cycles reveals that there were significant errors in singular and plural pronoun usage of above 20%; the subject-verb agreement has an increasing percentage of errors (4.16%) after being given feedback on the first cycle; part of speech has significantly lower errors (8.03% and 1.09%); the usage of articles is similar to subject-verb agreement errors, there was slight increasing percentage of errors (1.8% and 0.20%). Thus, the data revealed that learners are significantly influenced by both the interference of their first language and the challenges inherent in acquiring a second language. Therefore, errors in spoken articulation still existed, though learners were able to comprehend the grammar in written text.

Abstract

The Basic Academic Ability Test (TKDA) has a very important role to measure, mapping, and acquire quality Human Resources (HR) based on one's basic abilities in academic scholarship. These basic academic abilities and skills test the ability to think logically, systematically, and critically. This TKDA is often used for various purposes related to academic scores, such as in recruitment to enter the world of work, in the selection of new student admissions, and for eligibility requirements for lecturer certification (SERDOS). The government lecturer certification requires lecturers who are qualified serdos to have a TKDA ability score with a minimum threshold of 530 for 2022. This threshold continues to increase every year for 2021 the threshold is still 430. This increase in the threshold is intended to obtain lecturer standards better from year to year. Therefore, capacity building for eligible lecturers must be carried out with a systematic training scheme. Of course, it is an obligation to be able to continue until the assessment stage by the assessor in order to achieve the target that has been set. This community service, especially for the lecturers, is very useful for improving their abilities. The material given by the tutors who of course have passed the serdos is about TKDA knowledge itself such as types of test questions, solving tricks, test rules, how to make the test time more efficient, and finally the TKDA simulation tryout. Based on the results of the overall evaluation, it can be seen that the main target of the training implementation has been achieved. Participants better understand, understand, and have strategies to deal with TKDA, and based on the simulation, participants are able to work on TKDA questions well.

Abstract

Pertumbuhan ekonomi merupakan tolak ukur bagi kesejahteraan masyarakat. Ekonomi yang baik tidak lepas dari minimnya tingkat kirminalitas yang terjadi di suatu wilayah serta adanya dukungan sektor pariwisata yang dijadikan sebagai lahan pekerjaan dan perputaran ekonomi masyarakat. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu menjelaskan hubungan dan pengaruh dari tindak pidana dan kunjungan wisata terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi. Metode yang digunakan yaitu regresi linier berganda. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa variabel tindak pidana memiliki nilai signifikansi kurang dari 0,05. Sedangkan variabel kunjungan pariwisata memiliki nilai signifikansi lebih besar dari 0.05. Hal ini dapat menjelasakan bahwa variabel tindak pidana memiliki pengaruh yang besar terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi. Model regresi linier berganda yang terbentuk memiliki nilai R-Square tinggi yaitu 92,2 %, mengandung makna bahwa variabel tindak pidana dan jumlah kunjungan wisatawan mampu menjelaskan model pertumbuhan ekonomi yang terbentuk. Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat diperoleh informasi bahwa perlunya meminimalisir terjadinya tindak kriminalitas sehingga pola pikir masyarakat mengarah pada perbaikan sumber daya manusia dan pembangunan ekonomi masyarakat daerah.

Abstract

This research scrutinizes the strategy of politeness employed by Mentors (MTRs) and Mentees (MNTs) during the coaching clinic providing Master Ceremony (MC) at Universitas Bumigora. Researchers implemented some techniques (participative observation, interviews, audio recording, case studies, and focus group discussions) to monitor the interaction among the MTRs and MNTs during interaction and comprehend how the theory used, and the strategies affect the communication and lead to effectiveness of rehearsals. This research applied a descriptive qualitative method to see the natural phenomenon of data in the field. The face-saving strategy was found to be mostly applied during coaching; MTRs do 69.23% of the time, and MNTs do 80%. While the face-threatening acts, MTRs uttered 30.77%, and 20% of utterances were uttered by MNTs. Using saving strategies during coaching helps the MTRs maintain good relationships with the MNTs. This research also suggests that implementing politeness strategies creates good communication and relationships at hand. The newness of current research lies in the in-depth analysis of the politeness strategy among mentors and mentees, which the face-saving strategy significantly contributes toward communication effectiveness.

Abstract

In the evolving landscape of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) education, integrating computational thinking (CT) offers a systematic approach to addressing the cognitive and analytical challenges posed by technical texts. This study investigates the impact of CT strategies—decomposition, pattern recognition, and abstraction—on enhancing ESP learners’ reading comprehension and problem-solving skills. A classroom action research (CAR) framework was employed with second-semester management and engineering students at Universitas Bumigora. A mixed-methods approach combined pre- and post-tests, classroom observations, and reflective journals to measure outcomes and capture qualitative insights. The results revealed significant improvements, with reading comprehension scores rising from 59% to 79% and problem-solving scores increasing from 59% to 80.1%. Large effect sizes (Cohen’s d > 1.1) underscored the efficacy of CT strategies. Qualitative findings highlighted increased student confidence, effective use of decomposition and pattern recognition, and the transferability of skills to other contexts. However, challenges with abstraction persisted, indicating a need for additional scaffolding and instructional support. These findings demonstrate the potential of CT to bridge linguistic and analytical gaps in ESP education. Future research should explore longitudinal impacts and expand the application of CT across diverse ESP fields and teaching methodologies.
