Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of using Coop-Dis-Q (Cooperative-Discussion-Questioning) and Literature Circle strategies in teaching reading comprehension to extrovert and introvert students. 2x2 factorial design of experimental research was carried out to collect the data from 88 eighth grade students of SMP N 1 Kandeman, Batang. Two experimental groups, A and B, were given two different treatments: Coop-Dis-Q and Literature Circle strategies. The result shows that the ρ = 0.00 for both Coop-Dis-Q and Literature Circle strategies in teaching reading comprehension to extrovert and introvert students which verifies the effectiveness of both two strategies. It wa also found that Coop-Dis-Q is more effective than Literature Circle strategy in teaching reading comprehension since the mean value of post test Coop-Dis-Q shows higher score 27.18 and the value of ρ = 0.00. However, the result also shows that there is no difference between extrovert and introvert personalities in teaching reading comprehension since the value of ρ = 0.310. Further, it was found that the ρ of strategy*type value is 0.638 so there is no interaction between teaching reading comprehension strategies and types of personality on the achievement of reading comprehension which proves that personality does not influence students’ reading comprehension achievement.

Abstract

In decoding implicatures, especially conversational implicatures, interlocutors should carefully pay attention both on the literal and pragmatic meanings. This importance simultaneously affects educators to be adept at implicating a message conversationally, also at transferring it to their students. The duty gets more challenging for the ones teaching a foregin language. This study then is conducted to investigate the conversational implicatures among English instructors from Indonesia who interact using English as their foreign language. Besides, this study also endeavours to trace what maxims are flouted, and to describe the gender-based difference of implicating a message conversationally. Twelve male and twelve female English instructors were invited to voluntarily participate in informal interactions approximately for fifteen minutes without their notice on the focus of this study, revealing 140 implicatures. These are wide-ranging in terms of contents based on the topics they choose, and are similar in terms of the intended messages which are not the same as the ones have said. Moreover, the exploitations also occurr on all four maxims variously: quality, quantity, manner, and relevance.

Berdasarkan konteks dalam tiap percakapan, kata ganti orang “Saya”, “You”, “They”, “Dia” dapat merujuk pada subjek imajiner yang tidak ada dalam kehidupan manusia. Demikian pula dengan kata ganti “Kita atau Kami” yang bisa bermakna persatuan. Kesimpulannya adalah sangat penting untuk kita mengerti konteks dalam membaca maupun dalam berbicara kepada orang lain, karena akan memudahkan kita untuk paham apa yang dimaksud oleh pembicara.The study aims at finding out deictic words in conversation texts and explaining how they were realized under what context.

Thirteen conversation texts were chosen, taken from an English textbook “Pathway to English” for Senior High School.

Time deixis appeared 15 times, and social deixis appeared 12 time. Based on the context in the conversations, the persondeixis of pronoun “I”, “You”, “They”, “He”, and “She” could be used to refer to an imaginary person in real life, while “We” could also mean a unity.
