Abstract

This study attempts to investigate thanking strategies used by Indonesian EFL learners based on contextual factors i.e. social status and social distance. The participants were 50 semester three students studying English for Business at a state polytechnic in Bandung. The participants were both male and female, aging from 19-20 years old. Data were collected via a Discourse Completion Task (DCT) adopted from Cheng (2005) and analyzed using thanking strategy taxonomy proposed by the same author. The DCT consisted of ten different scenarios describing the most common situations that students may encounter in their college life. The results of this study indicated that the most preferred thanking strategies used by Indonesian EFL learners were thanking, alerters (i.e., title) and positive feelings.  In terms of social status and social distance, the findings revealed that thanking and apology strategies were the most used strategies in equal-status with low-familiarity situations.  In situations within which learners shared equal-status with high-familiarity, the most strategies employed were thanking and positive feelings. Regarding thanking strategies used in low-status with low-familiarity situations, thanking and repayment strategies seemed to be the most preferred ones.  Keywords: thanking, strategies, social status, social distance

Abstract

Pembelajaran matematika sering dikeluhkan sebagian besar guru SMA karena kurang dapat menarik minat siswa. Hal ini dapat diatasi dengan menerapkan software matematika sehingga berdampak positif meningkatkan minat belajar siswa. Sehubungan dengan hal itu, dilakukan, “Pembelajaran Geometri Menggunakan GeoGebra” bagi MGMP Matematika SMA Negeri Cimahi. Tujuan pelatihan ini untuk meningkatkan keterampilan dan pengetahuan guru SMA Cimahi menyampaikan materi geometri menggunakan GeoGebra. Pelatihan ini diikuti 25 orang guru yang tergabung dalam MGMP Matematika SMA Cimahi. Pelatihan dilaksankana secara tatap muka di SMA Negeri Cimahi selama 40 jam dengan durasi lima minggu. Hasil pelatihan ini menunjukkan topik menentukan “Garis Sejajar, Garis Tegak Lurus, Bidang Segitiga, dan Bidang Segi Empat ”, semua peserta sangat menguasai penggunaan Geogebra. Pada topik Menentukan “Luas, Jarak Titik, jarak bidang, Sudut, dan Volum”, hampir semua peserta sangat menguasai penggunaan Geogebra dan hanya bebera peserta yang kurang menguasai. Pada topik membuat gambar dan animasi “Kubus, Balok, dan Limas” , sebagian besar peserta sangat menguasai, terdapat beberapa peserta yang menguasai dan hanya sebagian kecil masih kurang menguasai. Dengan demikian, pelatihan ini telah meningkatkan kompetensi guru-guru matematika peserta pelatihan dalam mengoperasikan software GeoGebra dalam pembelajaran Geometri.

Abstract

The scientific paper of the final project (TA) of Polban students, especially at the Undergraduate level, has the potential to be published both nationally and internationally. Therefore students must pay attention to the rules in writing scientific work. One rule is to write the background in the introductory chapter. The chapter is a way for the readers to see the contents of the research report. This study aims to investigate the Move and Step in the final project of undergraduate students in nonengineering which are analyzed using the Create a Research Space (CARS) model from Swales and Feak (1994). Qualitative is used because it analyzes the background of the research paper. The researcher investigates phenomenon from the perspective of the participants. There were 173 student final project that were analyzed. Student final project were from non-engineering study programs written in 2022. The result shows that every final project applied Move 1 and Move 3, but slightly Move 2. The Steps in Move 1 were dominated by Step 2 dan Step 3. The Steps used in Move 2 were Step 2 and Step 4, meanwhile in Move 3, Step 1A was found in all the background.

Abstract

Translating cultural words of news articles can be problematic, especially for students and novice journalists, as they may have different socio and cultural context from that of the target audience. With the development of machine translation, it is important to investigate how it can help solve the problem. In collaboration with a local online newspaper in Bandung, Indonesia, this study attempts to compare how machine translation (MT) and human translators (HT) translate Indonesian cultural words into English, aiming at producing guidelines of translation for dealing with cultural imbedded words. In identifying the procedures, Newmark’s (1988) procedures of translation are utilized. The data are cultural words taken from 22 selected Indonesian online news articles from which 82 sentences containing cultural words are extracted. They are translated into English by machine translation and by intern journalists and a lecturer of translation. The study shows similar results: the transference procedure is mostly used (62.19% to 73.17%) in translating the cultural words by both MT and HTs. This indicates that the cultural words are retained and need to be edited. This also implies that guidelines for post-editing cultural word translation need to be developed to assist students and novice journalists to fix the problems.
