Abstract

It has been commonly understood that a word is rich in synonyms; however if those synonymous words are analyzed comprehensively, it shows that they do not exactly denote the same meaning. In order to distinguish one meaning to the other meaning, the features of each synonym are classified to obtain the distinctive features. The aims of this study are to identify the distinctive features of the lexical items that are synonymous with the English verb “to love” and to explain the polysemy of that English verb. The English verb “to love” was taken as the object since it is a basic general English word that appears frequently in everyday contexts. To analyse the data, the researcher listed down the synonyms of “to love”. After that, those synonyms were contrasted to obtain the distinctive features. By comparing the meanings of to love to the distinctive features obtained, the polysemy could be found and explained. This paper shows that there were sixteen synonymous verbs, 29 distinctive features that were classified into seven major features, and six polysemy of the English verb, to love.Keywords: meaning, componential analysis

Abstract

The present competence of language learners influences the process, particularly in modifying the input to ensure the exact level of comprehensibility they can manage. It involves the negotiation of meaning (NfM) and form (NfF). Teachers need to pay attention to how frequently both processes occur in classroom interaction and whether the teachers use this situation to enhance students’ language acquisition. Thus, this study aims to seek information concerning the negotiation of meaning and form in the natural classroom setting involving student teachers in a practicum program. To reach the objective of this study, two research questions will address: (1) Do negotiation of meaning and form take place in student-teacher-student interaction in a natural EFL classroom setting? (2) How do the student-teachers use negotiation of meaning and form strategies in the EFL classroom? Mixed method research will be employed by analyzing the utterances and conducting interviews. The analysis of the study reveals that firstly, NfM and NfF are two common occurrences in the student-teacher interaction in the natural EFL classroom under study; secondly, the strategies used by both NfM and NfF covered the negotiation processes with various moves and Long’s (1996) types of signals embracing confirmation check, clarification request, and comprehension check in certain circumstances. Eventually, this study brings profound implications in two areas, namely the design of a teacher training curriculum and the teaching pedagogy.

Abstract

The English prepositions are still problematic for EFL learners since the existing knowledge of their first language hinders them from understanding the use of English prepositions. This study investigated the effect of enhanced extensive reading on their incidental English preposition acquisition. A total of 16 Indonesian University learners of English as a foreign language participated in this study. The treatment lasted for four weeks, initiated with the pretest. Two weeks after the treatment, the posttest was administered, followed by distributing questionnaires to find out the factors influencing them in doing the posttest. The results showed a significant improvement in the students' incidental acquisition of the targeted English prepositions after they received repeated exposure to the English prepositions through enhanced extensive reading. The factors influencing the improvement of their incidental acquisition involve their existing knowledge of the English prepositions and their built intuition in decision making. It is hoped that teachers and educational institutions are encouraged to add extensive reading to their curriculum.

Abstract

This study investigates the current multilingual practice situation at Southwest Sumba schools, as well as the beliefs and attitudes of the teachers on a multitude of issues related to multilingualism and multilingual education. The methodology used was a questionnaire on issues related to (i) the need of multilingual education, (ii) students’ mother tongues, and (iii) literacy. The data was collected from four primary schools in Southwest Sumba, two of which are located in Kodhi speaking areas, while the other two are located in Wewewa speaking areas. Results from the data analysis revealed that the Indonesian centered curriculum, lessons, materials and assessment system have a negative impact on students’ academic achievement. However, teachers and schools are currently not equipped to respond to the students’ needs of a multilingual education program. Despite that, the surveyed teachers have very positive attitudes and beliefs towards multilingual education not only as a way to improve students’ academic performance, but also as a means to preserve the students’ local language.

Abstract

Many previous studies evaluating the accuracy of Google Translate showed many issues and problems in the translation process through the variation of language pairs. However, those previous studies explored the general terms of accuracy, not one specific aspect of the translation output. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of Google Translate in translating English polysemous words found in the feature article. This study was conducted to foresee one specific area of semantics: polysemous words. Five feature article pairs that have already been published were used as the subject of this study. The data were all of the polysemous words found in the source text, divided into speech parts and the Google Translate output. These were evaluated using dictionaries of both languages to determine whether the meaning transferred was accurate. The result showed that Google Translate accurately translates English polysemous words. However, as not all the accuracy of the part of speech reaches 100%, Google Translate users still need to recheck the translation output and post edit so that the translation accuracy of the polysemous word can reach 100%.

Abstract

The need for English proficiency in the hospitality industry has become urgent due to the increasing number of international guests visiting Indonesia for many different purposes business, tourism, and education. In English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses, a needs analysis is essential for instructors to provide their students with the specific language skills they need for their respective jobs. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the needs of hoteliers at a five-star hotel in Jakarta through a semi-structured interview with the English teacher at the hotel as the representative of the Learning and Development (L&D) team. The interview result showed that the hoteliers, especially the Food & Beverage and the Culinary department, urgently needed to improve their English proficiency to communicate with guests and foreign co-workers since they still lacked speaking and listening skills in English. The hoteliers also had a low level of confidence and difficulty in developing ideas. This can be seen from how they tended not to speak much when using the English language. The interview results were transcribed and coded into four categories: necessities, wants, lacks, and learning needs. The results can be taken into consideration for future studies, which involve designing and developing an ESP module specifically tailored for hoteliers.

The results showed 70% of interactional work between teacher and students in the negotiation processes, for both meaning and form, achieves mutual interchangeability with variety of negotiation route. Variations of its structure are made as strategies of successful communication for teacher candidates to acquire. Eventually, this study provides theoretical and practical benefits for the student-teachers, the lecturers, and the English Education Department.
