Abstract

Negotiation is one kind of ways in order to interact with other people. Doing negotiation means that participants are able to reveal what they feel and think. For this study, observation was done before recording. Audio recording is the primary data besides there was also note. The note is about the class’ situations that were not included in the recording. Then, the data is transformed into transcription. After the transcript is made, the data is able to be analyzed. Results indicate that the learners mostly negotiate well. They produce statements in compliance with mood elements. They also have various kinds of mood types in the conversation. The ways that the students negotiate meaning in order to get the meaning across are countering the interlocutors’ responds, responding the teacher by giving statement that exactly suit to the teacher’s questions, and having equal turns reciprocally to convey their ideas in a conversation. In order to compensate their language problems, the students use some strategies such using minor clause, speaking in their native language, and doing non-verbal communication. In addition, there are also some grammatical problems hinder the negotiation of meaning. They ellipse a certain element of the clause. Another grammatical problem is that the students do not use fit correspondence between Finite and other elements.

Abstract

During the translation of IADC Workover Completion Manual, especially the compound-complex sentences, grammatical equivalence is crucial in order to produce accurate, acceptable, and readable translations. Therefore, this study is conducted to evaluate the realization of grammatical equivalence in English–Indonesian translation of compound-complex sentences in the manual and its relation to the translation quality. This study is a descriptive qualitative study. The researcher used document to collect the data of the compound-complex sentences. Besides, questionnaire and interview were completed by the target readers and the expert readers to assess the translation quality. The findings presents that out of 106 English compound-complex sentences that are translated to Indonesian, 74 (69.8%) of them are grammatically equivalent and 32 (30.1%) of them are not grammatically equivalent. It means that the 74 sentence translations’ structures are equivalent. In addition, the translations are literal and there are no shifts. In contrast, 32 non-grammatical equivalent translations are due to their free translations and lead to the translation shifts. From the findings, it can also be concluded that the grammatical equivalence influences the accuracy, the acceptability, and the readability of the translations for the target readers. On the other hand, for the expert readers, the grammatical equivalence only affects readability.

Abstract

Simulation and role play as techniques of teaching have been studied and believed to be effective for teaching speaking. In speaking class, students’ interest and motivation were also improved as effect of the techniques.This study aimed at examining the effectiveness of simulation and role-play as techniques of teaching speaking to the students with different levels of motivation. The design of this research was quasi-experimental study with 2 X 2 factorial designs. The independent variables were simulation and role play technique while dependent variable was students’ speaking ability. The data were gathered through a test, questionnaire, observation, and informal interview with teachers and students. Then, I analyzed the result from questionnaire and speaking test using t-test and ANOVA.The results of this study showed that simulation technique to teach speaking to the students with high and low motivation (80.8 and 65) and role-play technique is (71.9 and 70.9). Mean score of simulation technique was higher than role-play technique and and the total mean of the students with high motivation was higher than the students with low motivation. However, both of techniques were effective to students with high and low motivation. The value of sig. of techniques and motivation was 0.00. It meant that sig.value was lower than 0.05. It indicated that there was significant difference between techniques and students’ motivation to teach speaking. In other words, speaking techniques were able to improve students’ speaking competence and those correlated directly with the level of students’ motivation.Based on the result of the study, it can be inferred that students were getting advantages of using simulation and role-play techniques to teach speaking. The students’ score was significantly increased. they were also indirectly motivated to speak English and they gradually forgot the negative feeling such as shyness and lack of confidence

Abstract

The study reports the appraisal analysis and the rhetorical structure of eulogies delivered at Mrs. Lee Kuan Yew memorial service. Eulogies are meant to remember the person who died in a positive light, and offer an opportunity to speak about who the deceased was and the ways in which she or he made a difference in the lives of family, friends, and his or her community. Since eulogy contains praises for someone admired, and the speaker recalls the memories shared, he has to evaluate his feelings and relation by expressing attitude, his position towards the deceased, and gradable valuation. Such evaluation has to do with appraisal system. The research integrates the appraisal theory proposed by Martin and White (2005) and rhetorical structure (Kunkel and Dennis, 2003). This study employs discourse analysis method of research. The findings reveals that the eulogies have primarily used the judgement resources rather than affect and appreciation within the attitude system. As eulogizing function, the eulogy composed largely of laudation and praise, the use of judgement appraising items shows how the eulogizer’s assessment towards the admiring behaviour of the deceased during her life. Moreover, the utilization of the rhetorical structure contributes to the achievement of the communicative purpose of eulogy. Through the well-structured eulogies, the eulogizers heighten the audience member’s feelings of regard, love, and appreciation for the deceased.

Abstract

This study attempts to explain the flouts of Grice’s maxims as well as the relation between verbal and visual representations in an animated cartoon serial. The descriptive qualitative approach with the content analysis is used in the research design. The data are in the form of verbal and visual representations. The verbal data are the utterances taken from the dialogs; the visual data are the screen captures from the scenes in SpongeBob SquarePants. The results of the study show that all the four Grice’s maxims, namely quantitative, qualitative, relation and manner, are flouted. The maxims of quantity are flouted through too little and too much information. Next, the maxims of quantity are flouted through untrue information and information with lack of evidence. Next, the maxim of relation is flouted through non-relevant information. Finally, the maxim of manner is flouted through ambiguous, obscure, and lengthy information. Meanwhile, to deal with the relationship between verbal and visual elements in the flouts of maxims, the verbal or linguistic representations are evidently supported by the visual ones. The visual analysis in flout of maxims plays the essential role as it can get the pragmatic contexts clearer to help the analysis.

Abstract

TEFL in Indonesia is conducted on the framework of improving student’s cognitive and psycho-motoric but less in affective activity. The shift from foreign language to multicultural language (Honna, 2000, 2003) is to build intercultural awareness (2008, p.72). In school pedagogic activity is designed to accessing its modes of implementation, its operation and its outcome (Leung, 1993). It emphasizes on the process thus reflection is beyond the focus. Textbook is made on the basis of CLT with the aim to teach communicative competence (Richards, 2006, p.2) by implementing Task Based Approach focusing on creating kinds of interactional processes in the classroom (2006, p.30). ICC is the goal of TEFL therefore an innovation is made to develop student’s ability to be socially and culturally competent speakers (Byram, 2001). The findings show that pedagogic task based adopted authentic as well as created situation and cultural values can boost student’s ICC.

Abstract

This study analyzes narratives written by six students who joined a story writing contest. It is assumed that the students who joined in the writing contest had fair knowledge in writing, so the texts may achieve coherence. This study uses qualitative research in the form of discourse analysis. The focuses of the study are to investigate micro and macro level coherence, tense use, and the context of situation of the texts. This study uses the theories from Thornbury (2005), Ellis (1997), and Eggins (1994). This study is aimed to know the quality of coherent text in the students’ narrative. The findings of this study showed that constant theme patterns became the most frequent occurred in the narratives followed by zig-zag patterns and sentences which has no patterns. The sentences which have patterns might be logic in continuity. For the macro-level coherence, key word aspect became the most found in the narratives. The words represented the main characters in the stories. The macro-scripts showed that the narratives mostly use the script orientation-complication-resolution in arranging the paragraphs. The tense errors were found in almost all narratives. The findings showed three narratives had more errors than correct ones. The situational coherence showed that the fields in the texts were about heroes who had done something precious in their life. The tenors of the texts were same, namely between story writers and story readers. The modes of the texts were also the same. The texts are delivered by written media, so the texts did not have visual and aural distance between story writers and story readers. The goal of the texts is only for constructing experience.
