Abstract

In this pandemic Covid-19 situation, all teaching learning activities are done online from the elementary school up to the universities. What the writers would do is actually implementing a blended learning, but Covid19 makes it impossible so that it is done fully online. Thus, this study would find out that the full-online platform writelogue with its module can improve the students’ ability in using the reduced relative clauses. This module in which the students learn the NP pattern ‘HN (Head Noun) + reduced relative clauses’ is one of a number of NP patterns in the writers’ multi-year research. Using the accessibility of the Learning Manangement System, the writelogue, the students did the pre-test, the exercises and the post-test. Besides, they filled out the questionnaire concerning the usability of the writelogue in terms of language, exercises, tutorial video, and technical operation. The results show that the online writelogue course enhances the pre-test scores of the students in their post-test result, and the students find the benefits of the writelogue course to their learning the reduced relative clause on line.

Abstract

This study concerns on how the undergraduate students of the English Language Education Study Program use relative clauses as the post modifiers of the noun phrases in their thesis background and the errors found and their causes in the noun phrase constructions. Thirty undergraduate students were asked to be the subjects and the data were taken from their thesis backgrounds. The total of 226 noun phrases with relative clauses as the post modifiers were constructed with ten errors found. From the interviews conducted with fifteen subjects, the errors found were caused by (1) the different structures of English grammar point (the noun phrases with relative clauses as the post modifiers) with the Indonesian, (2) the gap time of the teaching and learning activities of the grammar concept that caused the students to forget about the structures, and (3) the pace of the students’ learning which did not match with the lecturers’ teaching pace. The results show that even though the awareness of the students was moderately high, they need to be reminded and encouraged to produce more complex sentences with noun phrases with relative clauses as the post modifiers to improve their thesis background.
