Abstract

This study is aimed to describe the ability of the fourth semester English department students at UNP, who are registered in 2015/2016 academic year, in constructing passive voice in writing explanatory essay. This study is also aimed to find out grammatical problems in constructing passive voice. This is a descriptive quantitative research. Proportional random sampling technique was used to determine the sample. The data were collected by using writing test with four alternative topics, one of which should be chosen. Students were asked to write passive sentences in their essay. Based on the findings of the research, it was found that students’ ability in constructing passive voice is in average level. There are four common grammatical problems identified from the students’ writing, which are grammatical problems related to the use of auxiliary be (22%), the use of past participle verb (46%), the agreement of subject and auxiliary (20%), and the choice of voice that should be used to construct the sentences (12%). V1, Ving, and incorrect form of past participle verb were used to replace the use of past participle verb in students’ passive sentences. In addition, incorrect forms of auxiliary and missing auxiliary were found to be the students’ problem. It was also found that students constructed active voice for sentences that should be written in passive voice since it is the subject that must receive the action. Key words/phrases: passive voice, explanatory essay, ability

Abstract

This study investigates the possible relationship between reading anxiety and the critical reading ability of tertiary EFL students majoring in English education at a state university in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Thirty-two students were selected utilizing convenience sampling as the research sample. By employing a correlational approach, the instrument used for this analysis was a TOEFL test consisting of 30 questions to measure students' ability to read critically. In addition, a questionnaire was also developed based on the theory of experts composed of 20 statements used to measure students' reading anxiety. Pearson product-moment correlation was used to investigate the relationship between reading anxiety and students' critical reading ability. The study found that 1) most students experience anxiety at the intermediate level, 2) the level of students' critical reading ability is at the average level, and 3) there is a significant relationship between students' reading anxiety and critical reading ability. The results imply that the reading anxiety students experience correlates to their scores in critical reading, leading to a significant effect of reading anxiety on students' critical reading skills.
