Moreover, SSSD did not strongly give positive transfer on students’ pronunciation of English vowels [ɪ], [ʌ], [ʊ], [e], [ɒ], consonants [p], [b], [t], [d], [z], [k], [g], [f], [h], [s], [m], [n], [ŋ], [l], [r], [w], [j], final diphthong sounds [ɔɪ] and [aʊ], and consonant clusters [st], [pr], [str], and [spr]. Moreover, SSSD did not strongly give negative transfer on the substitutions of long vowel sounds [i:], [ɜ:], [ɑ:], [u:], [ɔ:], and [æ] into short vowel sounds [ɪ], [ǝ], [ʌ], [ʊ], [ɒ], [e], consonant sounds [tʃ], [dӡ], [v], [ɵ], [ð], [ʃ], [ӡ] into sounds [t], [j], [p], [f], [d], [z], and diphthong sounds [iǝ], [eǝ], [ʊǝ], [eɪ], [ǝʊ]. It occurred not only because of these sounds did not exist in SSSD sound system, but it was also influenced by spelling interference from L1 and lack of pronunciation training.

Abstract

This study aimed at explaining the relations between verbal text and visual image in English Textbook for Junior High School Grade VIII in terms of interpersonal meaning. The first is the checklist of verbal text analysis by Halliday in Eggin (2004) to analyse the verbal text. The second is the checklist table for visual image analysis by applying the theory of Kress and Van Leeuween (2006). The last is about the relation between verbal text and visual image in terms of interpersonal meaning (Royce’s theory; 2007). The findings show mostly every chapter is dominated by declarative sentences. In declarative mood, the sentence indicates to state something or explain something. Some conversations indicate the image acts and the gazes of them are ‘offer’, they could be explained that the images address us indirectly, the viewer is not the object, but the subject looked. The represented participants are the object of the viewer’s dispassionate scrutiny, no contact between the viewer and the represented participants. The image acts and the gazes happen between represented participants and represented participants. The eye contacts prove the verbal text produced by the represented participants. Verbally, the statement and question relate through intersemiotics reinforcement of address. The activities between represented participant and represented participant happen verbally in which the viewer do not joint in the conversation. As visually, the eyeline just happened between represented participant and represented participant without the viewer. It could be said relationship happened when the verbal text supports the visual image.

The findings revealed that in both textbooks males have typical roles as breadwinners in dometic sphere and leaders in social and occupational spheres, whereas females have nurturing roles in domestic phere, followers roles in social sphere and subordinates in occupational spheres. With regard to gender conversational roles, the findings shown that in “Talk Active” males are the dominant speakers and females are the deferential speakers, while in “Pathway to English”, the opposite happened. Lastly, the finding of gender semantic representation analysis told that both textbooks represent both gender equally, although some sexist ‘man’ affixes were found.

Abstract

Classroom interaction has been an interesting discussion in the research of discourse as well as language education itself. This research was aimed to analyze the implementation of initiation-response-feedback (IRF) model in EFL writing class. IRF is a pattern of classroom interaction found by Sinclair and Coulthard in 1975 that stands for teacher initiation, students’ response and feedback by teacher. This study was a case study with several steps conducted by its researcher in analyzing the data. The analysis of the data began with the process of organizing data from the result of recording, transcribing data into paper-based transcriptions, coding the data, calculating the occurences of the teaching exchange pattern and IRF pattern, reporting the findings, and interpreting the findings. The results of the study showed that both teacher and students implemented the IRF model in teaching and learning process, especially in writing class. In this study there are five teaching exchanges which occurred based on Sinclair and Coulthard (1975)’s model including teacher inform, teacher direct, teacher elicit, student inform, and check. Furthermore, the classroom interaction process in EFL writing class reflected the patterns of IRF sequence. As the conclusion, it is recommended that the teacher should maintain the effectiveness of classroom interaction and give much opportunity to the students to take role in classroom verbal interaction through reflecting the IRF pattern in teaching learning process particularly in EFL writing class.
