Abstract

This article deals with learners’ Analytical Exposition Monologues. It is argued that the learners tend to bring to the target language the resources of their first language, whether or not those resources are actually available in the target language, resulting in failure to produce native-like speeches. This study therefore was conducted in order to find out the communicative purposes, the schematic structures, and the linguistic features that characterize the learners’ Analytical Exposition monologues using four students of FBIB University of Stikubank Semarang as the subjects of the study. It was found out that the communicative purposes, the schematic structures, and the linguistics features monologues match those produced by the English native speakers. However, the students make a number of lexicogrammatical errors which can be classified into tense errors, vocabulary errors, and finite errors. Based on the findings in this study, some suggestions are put forward, i.e. (1) the communicative purposes, the schematic structures, the linguistic features of genres in the target language should be taught to the students because they characterize certain genres; (2) the teachers and the students can learn from the errors they make in this study. More practice is thus required on the part of the students. Key words: thesis statement, argument, reorientation, linguistic features, lexicogrammar, communicative purpose, schematic structure, monologue, finite

Abstract

Languages vary considerably in the types of consonants which occur. Certain types of consonants are easier to produce than the others. Most students have difficulty in pronouncing [θ ð], [ʃ ʒ], [ʧ ʤ] since these sounds are not found in neither Indonesian nor Javanese. They tend to realize these sounds in other sounds. This article reports the realization of [θ ð], [ʃ ʒ], [ʧ ʤ] by the Indonesian students learning English. The data were obtained by means of recording 20 students reading words, phrases, and sentences containing [θ ð], [ʃ ʒ], [ʧ ʤ]. The unit of analysis of the study is words containing [θ ð], [ʃ ʒ], [ʧ ʤ]. Every word containing [θ ð], [ʃ ʒ], [ʧ ʤ] is transcribed. The correct pronunciation (for every research subject) for each pair of [θ ð], [ʃ ʒ], [ʧ ʤ] are counted to find out which one is more difficult for the student. The incorrect pronunciations for each pair of [θ ð], [ʃ ʒ], [ʧ ʤ] are analyzed in terms of the strategies (with what speech sound the student replaces). The research results show that [θ ʃ ʧ] are easier for the students to pronounce than [ð ʒ ʤ]. This is as what said by Hecht and Mulford (1982) that learners acquire voiceless consonants before the voiced consonants. The students employ transfer strategies when they find difficulties in pronouncing [θ ð], [ʃ ʒ], [ʧ ʤ]. They replace [θ] with [t], [s]; [ð] with [d], [θ], [nd]; [ʃ] with [s]; [ʒ] with [z], [ʃ]; [ʧ] with [c]; [ʤ] with [j]. Based on the findings, some suggestions can be put forward as follows: 1) The students should be taught the manner and point of articulation of [θ ð], [ʃ ʒ], [ʧ ʤ] so that they can produce those sounds correctly, 2) The students should be reminded that mispronunciation may cause misunderstanding. Key words: realization, transfer strategy, place of articulation, manner of articulation, adoption strategy, interlanguage

Abstract

A language user employs a particular thought pattern to express ideas.  The author, using his or her language, knowledge, thought, experience and world-view, expresses his ideas or intention in the written text. On the other hand, the reader, using his or her knowledge, language, thought, and  his or her view of the world, attempts to reconstruct  or interpret what the author  has expressed  in the written text. Because of the obvious difference between the writer’s world view and the reader’s world view, perfect comprehension can never be achieved.  So, communication problems sometimes arise, particularly when they (the reader and the writer) come from different cultural backgrounds. The purpose of  this study is  investigating the thought patterns that underlie the writing of The Jakarta Post’s English specific features performed by ‘matured’ Indonesians. The research design of the study is as follows: 1) selecting English specific features written by Indonesians, 2) observing the profiles of every text by identifying the title, the thesis statement, the topic sentences, the relation of ideas between paragraphs (thesis statement and topic sentences) and within paragraph (between the topic sentence and supporting sentences), pattern of development. The research results show  that the thought pattern underlying the English specific features written by Indonesians in The Jakarta Post is linear. The values characterize the manifestation of the thought patterns underlying the English specific features written by Indonesians are: usefulness, practicality, workable. It is suggested that 1) the language learners should be familiar with the thought pattern of the target language, 2) Language learners should be exposed with the target language because the exposure to the targetlanguage may influence their thought pattern or way of thinking when writing the texts of the target language. Key words: thought pattern, linear, non linear, deductive, inductive, digression, direct, indirect, coherent, incoherent

Abstract

Indonesia is a large nation in terms ofgeography, population, ethnics, cultures, and vernaculars. Indonesian 1945constitution guarantees that the ethnics, cultures, vernaculars in Indonesiawill be taken care of by the government. But in reality, speakers of manyvernaculars in Indonesia are getting less and less. Sneddon states that this iscaused by lingua franca and language shift (2003: 203). Vernaculars will bepreserved if they are respected, used, and inherited to the followinggeneration. And maintaining them will lead the unity in diversity. Friberg(2011) states that languages that can be maintained are the ones written andcan be read. We should not only use our national language, but also ourvernaculars in order to maintain our regional languages, our native localidentity. And as people of multilingual community, it is better if we aremultilingual. For example: Indians are used to speaking five up to sixlanguages, based on the languages spoken by people around them. It should beborne in mind that vernaculars reflect local cultures, local values, local identity.The exposure to regional languages will make people familiar with thelanguages. And as a result, the people will be familiar with their own culturalvalues and other people’s cultural values. Komorowska (2010) claims thatunderstanding others’ languages will promote intercultural competence,understanding and communication between citizens. And this will lead to peaceprocess, to deeper knowledge of other communities and their cultures, and inconsequence to promote tolerance. Key words: Vernaculars,language maintenance, language shift, lingua franca, peace, tolerance,multilingual, multicultural, cultural values, inter-cultural understanding,inter-cultural competence, endangered language, language decay

Abstract

Coherence is a key concept for text comprehension and text clarity. One feature that contributes to coherence is cohesion which is realized in cohesive devices and metadiscourse markers. The current study is about cohesion in professional writings found in The Jakarta Post. Its purposes  are to find out the  cohesive devices and metadiscourse markers and to analyze how the cohesion significantly contributes to the coherence. The study is descriptive and qualitative in nature. The data are 4 professional writings taken from The Jakarta Post. The research results show that the average of the textual cohesion used in the professional writings is less than 50 %. It means that the textual cohesion is not sufficiently used. This also means that the cohesion used in the professional writings does not contribute so significantly to the texts’ coherence. Based on the conclusion above, it is suggested that the students  be reminded the importance of  textual cohesion to contribute coherence. The teacher should teach the students what textual and point-to-point cohesion is. Key words: cohesive devices, metadiscourse markers, textual cohesion, point-to-point cohesion

Abstract

In this era, becoming bilingual or multilingual is a way of life. Thus, learning a foreign language, which is a complex process, is badly needed. Knowing the principles of language learning will facilitate the language learners to master the second language. There are two pathways to develop competence in a language: language acquisition and language learning. There are several hypotheses about second language acquisition, i.e. the natural order hypothesis, the monitor hypothesis, the input hypothesis, the affective filter hypothesis. In order to be successful in language learning, language learners must have certain characteristics. The personality variables or factors that play great role in the success or failure of language learning are as follows: 1) extroversion and introversion, 2) tolerance of ambiguity, 3) empathy/ego permeability and sensitivity to rejection, 4) cognitive style and field dependence/independence. Key words: language acquisition, language learning, language competence, the monitor hypothesis, the input hypothesis, the affective filter hypothesis, personality variables

Abstract

This article entitled “Mispronunciation of English Fricatives and Affricates Produced by English Students of Stikubank University.” This research aims to reveal the similarities and differences between English and Indonesian phonetic and to find out the fricatives and affricates categorized as difficult to be pronounced by the final semester students. The research focuses on phonetics, which is divided into two categories, fricative, and affricate. The researcher used the qualitative method in analyzing the data supported with some linguistics theory such as English Phonetic by Fromkin (1988), Indonesian phonetic by Chaer (2012), interference by Lado (1965), Saville (1971) Richards and Stenson (1978), Ellis (2006), and interlanguage by Ellis (1994)). The study revealed that there are six Indonesian fricatives that similar with the English fricatives, they are [f, s, z, ʃ, h}, besides the different fricatives and affricates found on [v, θ, ð, ʒ, ʧ, ʤ]. The respondents failed in pronouncing labiodental fricatives [v] the deviation is 65% caused by devoicing mispronunciation, dental fricative [θ] with deviation 80% as the result of mispronunciation of two consonants which are in a close place of articulation, and palate-alveolar fricative [ʒ] is 68,3% as the result of spelling mispronunciation. Keywords: Phonology, phonetics, fricatives and affricates, interference, interlanguage.
