Abstract

This paper presents some exploratory observations on the use of epistemic and deontic modality in a set of 30 undergraduate students’ argumentative writing as classified by Nuyts (2006) and Bybee (1994). It is important to know the students’ understanding about when to use these expressions through the use of these epistemic and deontic modality expressions because by acknowledging the students’  understanding about them, we as a teacher will realize that our students do understand the use of them or they need better perception about modality meanings. Since the way they apply those expressions in their writing reflect their comprehension about the actual use of these expressions in the English language and culture and the indication that the area students need help with. The study finds that in terms of deontic modality, the students used modality auxiliaries more frequently than to the use of lexical verbs, adverbs, adjectives or multi word units to show modality meanings in their writing while in terms of epistemic, they employed multi word units such as I think, to express modality meaning many more compared to other expressions. These findings show that the students do not know precisely the use and meanings of these expressions so that they continually use the similar expressions in their writings or in other words because of their lack information, they ignore the precise use of these expressions. Therefore, there must be more information about the perceptions of modality expressions and the different meanings that these expressions carry.

Abstract

Abstract.  This article presents the analysis of the ideology in the headlines in Sydney Morning Herald which report political news in Indonesia. The writer would like to find out the ideology presented by Sydney morning Herald through the lexical choices and syntactical features while reporting Indonesia Political news  because it cannot be denied that Australia as the country where Sydney morning Herald was born, has some roles in the internal problem of Indonesia, therefore it is assumed that in reporting the news, this newspaper will be influenced by the situational context  and socio historical context where and when the news were written. The data used in this research is the headline of the news about Papua Conflict started from 2006 until 2012. The writer used CDA as a tool to reveal these ideologies. From 9 articles analyzed, the result of the study showed that mostly, according to SMH, Australia looked at the conflict of Papua as the complex problems which involved not only the Indonesia government. SMH gives negative evaluation towards the conflict there. SMH sees that Australia supports that humans have freedom to choose their own will, therefore, the writer sees that Australia supports Papuans to fight for their independence. Key terms:  Analisis wacana kritis, Sydney Morning Herald, Ideology

Abstract

The objective of this research is to determine the types of errors committed by the students of the English Department at the Faculty of Language and Science, Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya University (FBS UWKS), as well as to describe the origins of these errors. The research conducted was descriptive in nature, utilizing qualitative methods. The participants involved in the study were fourth semester students of the English Department at FBS UWKS. Out of the 20 participants, a total of 80 data sources were obtained during the learning process. The researchers collected the data through the use of interview sheets and essays. Once collected, the data underwent a process of reduction, classification, display, and analysis. The procedures for data analysis were outlined as follows: 1) the collection of essays, 2) the classification, counting, and analysis of errors based on the error types proposed by Brown (2007), and 3) the analysis of errors to identify their sources using the concepts of interlingual transfer and intralingual transfer as proposed by Brown (2007) and Touchie (1986). From the analysis, it was discovered that the errors could be categorized into two main groups, namely essay organization errors and grammatical errors. The essay organization errors consisted of seven classifications, including issues with the thesis statement, topic sentences, unity, coherence and cohesion, as well as supporting sentences. On the other hand, the grammatical errors encompassed omission, addition, and punctuation mistakes. The sources of these errors were found to be inadequate learning, false conceptualizations, overgeneralization, and ineffective teaching practices.

Abstract

This research aims to describe how power relation is exercised through mood and modality used by lecturers during the teaching and learning process in the classrooms. It is categorized as descriptive qualitative research, and the data were collected from the utterances of the English Education lecturers through non-participant observation. They were then analyzed by following three stages of Fairclough CDA. The analysis was done from textual to social practice analysis to reveal the relation between the utterance and power the lecturers practiced in the classrooms. The research finding reveals that the power is reflected through the use of imperative, interrogative, and declarative mood structures. Modality is realized through modal auxiliaries: will, would, can, must, could, may, should, and verbs; have to, think, had better, need to, be sure, perhaps, and be going to. Those expressions carry the meaning of volition, obligation, encouragement, permission, demand, and possibilities employed by the lecturers in the classes. The above meanings of those expressions represent the lecturers’ power over the students. The built power relation represents Indonesian culture in which those in higher positions play as superiors. Examining modality and mood expressions used in education will hopefully give an insight into how to build good communication.

Abstract

This paper aims to describe the types of modality expressions in English and Indonesian folktales and to examine the extent to which these two groups of writers express modality differently. This study was conducted as descriptive qualitative research, focusing on the use of modalities in Indonesian and English folktales. A total of 30 folktales were collected from the United States, Britain, and Indonesia as the data sources. The data were analyzed based on the theories of Nuyts (2002) and Bybee (1994). The results show that native English writers tend to express deontic modality primarily through modal auxiliaries such as shall, should, can, could, must, and may. However, epistemic meanings are conveyed not only through modal auxiliaries but also through adjectives, adverbs, and lexical verbs, with lexical verbs being the most frequently used. In contrast, non-native writers used fewer varieties of modality expressions, including modal auxiliaries, adjectives, adverbs, lexical verbs, and multi-word units, often relying on the same types of expressions across the folktales. Unlike deontic modality, the folktales are rich in epistemic modality, as the writers used a wider range of expressions to convey these meanings.

Abstract

As EFL learners, writing a narrative essay with proper grammatical rules and good chronological order is not easy. Although simple past tense has been introduced to students, previous studies found that the misuse of past tense remains a problem. A similar case also happened to art students at Sekolah Tinggi Kesenian Wilwatikta Surabaya. Thus, this study aimed to find out the students’ errors in using past tense in their narrative essays. It is seen as an urgent point since the literature about how art students deal with English subjects is very limited. Help is still required, and it begins by identifying their errors in writing. By employing qualitative content analysis of 30 students’ narrative essays, this study found a total of 197 errors. These errors were grouped into three categories: omission (98 errors), addition (67 errors), and misinformation (32 errors). A conclusion was drawn that the students committed grammatical errors in their narrative essays due to several factors such as L1 interference, different grammatical rules between Indonesia and English, insufficient grammatical knowledge, overgeneralization, rule restriction ignorance, and false hypothesis.
