Abstract

American and British English variations in Indonesia are mostly known in society and schools. However, the two variations, including others, have not been taught specifically in schools. This current case study discusses English variations in ELT (English language teaching) by involving two senior high schools in rural areas of North Kalimantan, Indonesia, viewed from students perspectives. There are two aims of conducting this current research, namely: (1) to identify students perceptions of English variations used in learning English at senior high schools and (2) to analyze English variations taught by their English teachers. To collect data, questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis were employed. To analyze data, the interactive analytical model and the statistical formula were employed. Based on the findings, it was found that (1) American English is mostly known among students to speak, and (2) English teachers endorse several kinds of English variations to students. In addition, the teachers still speak mixed English-Indonesian language when explaining materials in the classes. It can be concluded that students in the rural areas of North Kalimantan have been endorsed by several kinds of English variations (mainly American and British English). Yet, the students have not known how to distinguish those variations and when to use them in conversations.

Affective regime and linguistic landscape approach were utilized to conduct this study. Photography and walking were utilized to collect poster data alongside the street, then analyzed linguistically and non-linguistically by using Miles and Huberman model (i.e., displaying, reducing, and conclusion). Based on the findings, it can be identified that (1) there -are four kinds of affects dominantly identified, i.e., Young and Popular, Sustainability, Local Identity, and Change and Restoration, and (2) most political campaign posters are situated in strategic areas (e.g., main street or commercial site) with attractive design and language choice. This media is believed to be an effective way to attract voters living in villages or remote areas that are not interested in social media (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, or X).

Abstract

Lexical diversity is one of the language tools to measure varied words or vocabulary produced by learners in a text both spoken and written. This research aims to investigate the lexical diversity of children narratives produced by children orally. The research design of this research was a case study supported by quantitative data. Meanwhile, the subjects of this research are seven children around 6-9 years old. In collecting data, the researchers employed narrative storytelling based on a picture which is drawn by the subjects. In analyzing data, TTR (Type-Token -Ratio) was used to measure the lexical diversity gained from the subject while the theory was used to explain the phenomena. Based on the findings, it is found that (1) older children have higher lexical diversity than the younger ones, (2) younger children produced higher lexical frequency (word tokens) than the older ones (3) individual variations caused an anomaly of the result in which older children were expected to have higher lexical frequency but the result showed the reverse. Keywords: Lexical Diversity, Children, Oral Narratives, Case Study.

Abstract

In measuring learners’ productivity in writing and speaking, there is a formulation known as syntactic and lexical complexity. This study investigates whether there is a difference in syntactic and lexical complexity between L1 and L2 writings or not. This study is quantitative research which employ Web-Based Lexical Complexity Analyser and Web-Based Syntactic Complexity Analyser in order to measure data. The current study results reveal that the p-value of three sub-components of lexical complexity is lower than 0.05 (LD=0.000, LS=0.036, and LV=0.000), which means a significant difference in lexical complexity between L1 and L2 writings. A similar result showed in syntactic complexity where four of five indices of comparing the syntactic complexity of two-language writings showed value <0.05. The p-value of comparing four indices of syntactic complexity such as MLS, DC/C, CP/C, and C/S is 0.006, 0.000, 0.038, and 0.002, respectively. However, the fifth indice, MLC (mean length of clause) shows a p-value >0.05, which means no significant difference between MLC of English writings and Indonesian writings. The study concluded that the students produce more lexical and syntactic complexity in their English writings than in their Indonesian writings.
