Abstract

This study investigates the errors made by Indonesian English learners within crosslinguistic interference between L1 and L2 (Indonesian and English). The data were gathered by making the respondents translate 6 Indonesian sentences which are commonly used during class presentation into proper English. Such task was aimed at investigating the interlingual preposition errors induced by the process of transfer between the target language (English) and the source language (Indonesian). The translation task was assigned in 22 October 2018 to 19 adult EFL learners of English Education Magister’s Program of Yogyakarta State University semester I. They were asked to translate the sentences from Indonesian into English within the allocated time. The task was conducted directtly by writing down the translation on a piece of paper. The data was then analyzed through Coder’s error analysis theory. The findings suggested that these particular English foreign language learners made the fewest errors on preposition omission – and more errors on wrong use and redundancy of prepositions.

Abstract

Abstract. Age and the choice of language learning strategies (LLS) have similarities with the relationship between the aspects of individual differences, social factor, and the LLS itself. This study aimed to investigate whether and how the learners’ starting age in second language learning affects their choice of LLS. 94 ESL learners of two age-based groups were involved in this study. A translated version of the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) version 7.0 proposed by Oxford and an interview guideline were used in data collection. Such version covers 50 statements designed for the learners of English as a second and foreign language. The SILL identified the learners’ strategy by asking them to give a response to a series of strategy statements. The data were then analyzed through inferential statistics. The results of the study revealed that learners’ starting age in second language learning affects their choice of LLS due to their different goals in learning English. The early-starting learners generally learn English to communicate properly while the late-starting learners do the same for specific purposes, such as for working and for studying abroad. Keywords: Starting Age, Language Learning Strategies, Second Language Acquisition
