Abstract

Most of researches have reported the significance of English phonemic awareness to the success of learning English, but less discussions involving students with visual disabilities. Students with visual disabilities lacks of visual input and form a strong sensitivity to audio input, researches have reported that this condition affect their spelling ability, yet, their ability in recognizing English phonemes has been less explored especially in Indonesia. Thus, this research aims to describe the phonemic awareness of students with visual disabilities who learn English as Foreign Language. The participants of this research are students with visual disabilities whether active or passive braille user. 7 students with visual disabilities participated in an Online English Phonemic Awareness Test. Two independent raters rated the data independently. Interrater agreement was applied to ensure the objectivity of two independent interrater. The findings show that students with visual disabilities are aware of consonants Fricative alveolar, Plosive bilabial, and Plosive alveolar sounds but struggling with Fricative velar and Affricative velar sound, they are also aware of vowels Close mid front vowel, Close front long vowel sounds, Close mid back vowel and Open central vowel but struggling in identifying Open back vowel, Close mid central vowel, and Open mid back vowel. English phonemic awareness is a very important basic thing in language learning. However, it will be very challenging for ESL learners, especially those who learn are blind students because of certain obstacles that blind students have so that strategies are needed in language learning.

Abstract

The development of batik has spread to almost all subdistricts and villages, especially in East Java. Each community strives to produce and find uniqueness in creating their batik motifs. In Singosari Subdistrict, Malang Regency, there is a community of batik craftsmen from villages and subdistricts in the Singosari area, namely the Singosari Batik Association. To date, numerous batik motifs have been created. However, these have not yet met sales targets due to the lack of a distinctive and unique batik identity from the artisans of the Singosari Batik Association. Therefore, guidance is needed in exploring ideas for motifs, as well as experimenting with forms, compositions, and colors in designing batik motifs that can reflect the identity of Singosari batik artisans. In exploring the uniqueness of Singosari motifs, two approaches are used. The first is through the traditional culture of Singosari, which can be traced back to the historical greatness of the Singosari kingdom in the past. The second approach is through the culture that has been developed in the present day. These two approaches can be used to describe the form of Singosari motifs. To strengthen the identity of Singosari motifs, color can also support the composition of the motifs. When determining the characteristic colors of Singosari, natural colors can be sourced from plants that grow and are endemic to Singosari. Some motifs resulting from the redesign of craftsmen's sketches have also been re-explored and transformed into new motifs that craftsmen can use as design inspiration for future batik creations. The diversity of attractive batik motifs will undoubtedly influence consumer purchasing power, thereby increasing the production output of the Singosari Batik Association. It is hoped that the batik fabric produced will once again become the signature fabric of Singosari, recognized by all segments of society, and represent East Java both domestically and internationally in the future.

Abstract

This research aims to find out the correlation between English phoneme identification skills and word processing. It applies the quantitative approach with correlation design. The participants are 100 of 3rd- semester students in English Language Education Program. The correlational result reveals that it has correlation with .382 degrees in phoneme identification skill toward blending skill with the significance level .000, and .359 degrees in phoneme identification skill toward segmentation skill with the significance level .000. Then, the correlation result of English phoneme identification skill toward word processing is .462 degree with its significance .000. By the result, awareness to identify phoneme by initial, medial, and final sound correlates to the blending and segmenting skills which influence the comprehension of word. The more the students are able to identify phoneme based on its sound, the more the students will be able to blend and segment phoneme. Lastly, the ability to identify English phonemes is proven to be a skill that supports EFL learners on their productive and receptive skills. Then being able to identify its phonemes will assist on recognizing and processing English words appropriately so that English language teaching can be associated with the use of phoneme-based instruction on its teaching process. Highlights : Ability to identify English phonemes is proven to be a skill that supports EFL learners on their English productive and receptive skills. English phoneme identification skill contributes to blending and segmentation skill since phonemic awareness provides both decoding and encoding skill.

Abstract

This research sets out to explore the Interlanguage pragmatic motivation in EFL to their pragmatic production. This research is focus on the construct and impact of Interlanguage pragmatic motivation in EFL to their pragmatic production. The participants of the study were the university students chosen randomly from among intermediate EFL learners. There are three instruments in this study; there will be different types of analyses. Both general and speech-act-specific motivation questionnaires will be analysed by using factor analysis on a five-point Likert scale (1-5). Skewness and kurtosis will be calculated to investigate whether the questionnaires and the WDCT items fell within the normal range. Regression analysis will be done to measure how well general pragmatic motivation and Speech-act-specific motivation could predict pragmatic production. Several conclusions can be drawn from the resent study. First, language learners possess a specific type of motivation for the acquisition of interlanguage pragmatics, called pragmatic motivation, which refers to two interrelated types of motivation: general pragmatic motivation and speech-act-specific motivation. Second, EFL learners are strongly motivated to acquire and develop English pragmatic features, i.e. their pragmatic motivation is high; however, they do not have the necessary pragmatic knowledge. Third, predicting EFL learners’ pragmatic production based on their speech-act-specific motivation is somehow possible since both pragmatic production and speech-act-specific motivation focus on learners’ illocutionary competence, i.e. language functions and speech acts.
