Abstract

The objectives of this study were to explore the challenges faced by students in writing descriptive text about local places and to describe how they deal with these challenges. A descriptive method was used, with a writing test and a questionnaire as instruments. From the results of the writing test, the students' scores on the organization aspect were the lowest, which means that students still have difficulties structuring their writing effectively and presenting their ideas in a clear and logical way. It involves issues like paragraph structure, coherence, and transitions between paragraphs. In addition, from the students' responses in the questionnaire, it was found that more than half of the students who participated in the questionnaire section felt that limited vocabulary was their main challenge in writing descriptive texts about local places. This indicates that the students felt that they did not have enough choice of words or phrases to effectively describe the place they were writing about. Moreover, to deal with the challenges, they used various strategies to navigate the complexity of writing about local places. These strategies include thorough observation, pre-writing, revision before completion, seeking examples, seeking feedback from peers, utilizing the power of artificial intelligence (AI), utilizing visual references, and regular practice. In conclusion, the paper shows the challenges students faced in writing descriptive text about local places and the strategies they employed to address these challenges.

Abstract

This research discusses the language choice in teaching content subjects used by lecturers in the online classroom. It aims at finding out the types of code-switching and code-mixing and the reason for using both of them. This study is a descriptive qualitative. The researchers observed and collected the data by attending the online class. The researchers recorded the conversation from the start until the end of the class. After gaining the data, the researchers transcribed them into written data and then classified them based on the types of code switching and code mixing. They then analyzed the reasons why code-switching and code-mixing were used. The result of the data analysis showed that the most frequently used type of code-mixing was Intra-Sentential, while the most applied type of code-switching was extra-sentential. In addition, the most dominant reason is the intention of clarifying the content of the course for the interlocutor.
