Abstract

This study was aimed at 1). describing what kinds of cohesive device mostly occured in the students’ sentences, 2). describing how to apply cohesion theory in the sentence-based writing class, and 3). finding out whether the use of cohesion theory gives its positive significance to cohesion of the students’ sentences. This is an action research study employing two cycles. The subject of the study was 24 students of group 2, in a class of SBW, and the object of the study was students’ sentences created by the students in the teaching and learning process. The result of the study shows that cohesive devices mostly employed by the students are references followed by lexical, conjunction and substitution. Moreover, the students never used ellipsis in the students’ sentences. In the teaching and learning process, cohesion theory was given to the students in two cycles. The first cycle focused on introducing the cohesion theory and its kinds of cohesive devices. Then, in the next cycle the students learned about Halliday and Hasan Taxonomy. Based on the result of the study, teaching SBW using cohesion theory gives its positive significance by varied cohesive device used by the students. It can be seen from the analysis of the students’ sentences from pre-test, paragraph 1, paragraph 2, paragraph 3 and post-test. The students also give positive responses upon its teaching and learning process using cohesion theory based on the pre and post-test questionnaire data. It is hoped that the result of the study gives positive contribution to the students in preparing them to write in bigger contexts such as paragraph-based writing, genre-based writng and academic writing in the next coming semesters.

Abstract

Based on the standard competence of Indonesian’s curriculum relating to speaking activities, the students are demanded to express meaning/ messages in both transactional and interpersonal conversation using spoken languages in every context of situation. Two different kinds of conversation have their own characteristics, from which we still encounter students facing difficulties to communicate with others. The study was aimed at describing whether by giving different time allocation for the students to practice doing transactional and interpersonal conversation can impove the students’ conversation skills. It is a classroom action research conducted in my own class; the students in a transactional and interpersonal class became the subject of the study. The class consisted of 24 students in the second semester in the academic year of 2012-2013. To collect the data, I used four ways of collecting data in the forms of observation, questionnaire, interview and video recording. Those four different ways of collecting data were used at initial, middle and final teaching learning process to measure the progress of the study. Time allocation was my teaching technique to improve the students conversation skill. Based on the result of the study, I found that time allocation has positive significance for the students’ conversation activities. This improvement was validated by involving a critical colleague and research participants. It can be seen that the students could conduct conversations in longer period of times for both transactional and interpersonal conversations using different degrees of formality, topic preferences, language uses, mode, purposes and cultural contexts. This suggests that the students need longer time to practice by which they are able to do conversation with others in very meaningful ways.

Abstract

This study aims at describing the way President Widodo used his interpersonal strategies in his speech in the 2014 APEC CEO SUMMIT. In this study, the discussion was limited by finding out the interpersonal meaning of the speech which can be used to dig up speaker’s hidden meanings through what he is saying in the speech. This is a descriptive qualitative study. The concept of discourse analysis from the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) is employed as a tool to reveal the hidden motivations behind a text. The analysis reveals that in terms of context of situation, President Widodo delivered persuasive speech. Meanwhile, grammar analysis shows that President Widodo was delivering speech in the name of Indonesia and in the name of Indonesian people who need a lot of economic capital in order to achieve the economic goals of Indonesia. In delivering his speech, President Widodo also strongly believed that he would be able to reach his goals. The appraisal analysis shows that Appreciation is the most frequent appraisal devices used in the speech. In that sense, President Widodo’s stance or attitude towards the goals he wants to achieve is strongly positive. It can be concluded that by the elaborate use of interpersonal strategies, President Widodo successfully projects his ideas and messages to the audience and also build a persuasive speech.

Abstract

Students of higher education in the global world need to have sufficient knowledge and skill in utilizing ICT (Information and Communication Technology) to face national and regional competition. To achieve this outcome, higher education (university) through its lower units - faculty and department can facilitate it through Self-Access Centre (SAC). English Department of Univeritas Negeri Semarang is one of the state universities in Central Java, Indonesia which has SAC used for academic purposes. This study is aimed at 1) finding benefits of SAC in a course ‗ICT in Language Learning‘, 2) reporting its benefits to promote independent learning, and 3) finding constraints faced in utilizing SAC. This study used qualitative approach employing SWOT analysis. The data is gained through three instruments: direct observation, interview, and study document. Two classes of ICT in Language Learning were taken as the objects of the study. The results showed that the students of the English Department gain benefits of SAC as they are facilitated with lots of facilities both software and hardware. Then, the students can also produce their own teaching media through utilizing available media independently. It can be seen from how the students can use free available online products such as Edmodo, Moodle, Skype, Wikispaces, Pbwork, and Tumblr with their creativities and modifications for learning objectives. Furthermore, SAC needs to have good management which involves not only from the department but also from faculty and university.

Abstract

This final project is based on a study endeavored to examine the development of analytical exposition texts written by the fourth semester students of Universitas Negeri Semarang in the academic year of 2014/2015 who took Genre-based Writing class . The objective of the study is to examine to what extent the students develop their analytical exposition texts, in terms of Thematic Development. This study is a written discourse analysis in which the data collected are in the form of written texts. To examine Thematic Development, Thematic Structure must be found first. The data were divided into clauses and analyzed to discover their Thematic Structure using theory suggested by Gerot and Wignell (1995). Then the Themes and Rhemes were examined using Thematic Development theory suggested by Eggins (2004). Results show that unmarked Topical Theme and reiteration pattern are dominant on students’ texts because they are the simplest and easiest form of Thematic Structure and Thematic Development. In addition, some problems related to Thematic Structure and Thematic Development were found. In Thematic Structure analysis, one problem of empty Theme and three problems of empty Rheme were discovered, while more than half of total clauses did not have Thematic Development. These might indicate two points; first, the students of Genre-based Writing class are still novice writers. Second, they might not know about Thematic Development theory and how to employ it to develop their analytical exposition texts.
