Abstract

This present study provided analysis on the arbitrary nature of signs and reduced forms (gonna, wanna, and gotta) seen in the Lone Ranger movie. The researcher focused on the dialogues between the main characters of the movie (John Reid abbreviated as “JR” and Tonto abbreviated as “T”). The researcher found in the script of the movie that Tonto used some terms related to the arbitrary nature of signs. Those terms are Spirit Walker, Windigo, and Kemosabe. Those terms have no logical basis for the choice of a particular signal to refer to a particular signification. This study also analyzed some reduced forms used by the main characters in the Lone Ranger movie. Reduced forms frequently used in speech in informal colloquial English, particularly American English. This study revealed only one kind of reduced forms found in the dialogue between the main characters. That kind of reduced form is “gonna”. The researcher found that “gonna” was spoken three times in the movie. All of them were spoken by John Reid (JR). in line with the previous research, those findings showed that “gonna” usually spoken by young people and comes from certain social class.

Abstract

This study describes the experiences of first-year students related to academic culture silence in English language learning during their transition from high school to university. The study was carried out in the English Education Department of Islamic Darul Ulum University Lamongan, Indonesia, and involved four students (two males and two females). The results show that students experienced diverse difficulties, including contradictions in high school teacher-centered approach and university student-centered approach, extensive use of English during classes, great number of academic assignments, inability to follow lectures, and psychological obstacles like anxiety, fear of errors, low self-esteem, and social comparison. Nevertheless, the students managed to overcome the difficulties by applying different techniques such as self-study with materials and watching English videos, consulting with professors and graduate students, teamwork with peers in learning, vocabulary improvement and building self-confidence, and perception of mistakes as a natural part of the learning process. Based on the findings, it could be said that academic culture silence is not a permanent barrier, but only a transitional state, and that linguistic competence, independence, and socialization are crucial for successful adaptation. This study is important for understanding the experience of freshmen at EFL local.
