Abstract

In learning a language, students must learn about linguistics and its branches to know the context of language, the origin of words and how they are formed. This study aimed to investigate word-formation by exposing Yule’s (2010) theory in students’ writing. This research focused on how many word-formations existed and how the word-formation process was applied in students’ writing. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted to analyze the gathered data to fulfill the research objectives. The data were collected through observation. The participants in this research were 18 students of Universitas Negeri Semarang attending Academic Writing class. The findings show that the students applied 599 processes which fall under five types of word-formations. They could be categorized into blending, compounding, clipping, derivation, and inflection. The students applied less blending and clipping word-formation processes. In addition, there were some problems in applying the word-formation process. Some students were confused about how to form blending and clipping. Hopefully, this research will give significant contribution as reference in understanding word formation. The present study is expected to contribute to teaching and learning of word-based lexical studies in general and word-formations in particular.

Abstract

English speaking skill can be difficult for students in any educational levels and environments to acquire. The challenge is also encountered by the students of the Islamic-based schools. This is caused by several factors, one of which is psychology. With the aforementioned problem, the researchers intended to find out how the psychological factors could affect students’ speaking ability. The investigation of this study focused on exploring the impact of anxiety, self-confidence, motivation and shyness on Islamic boarding school EFL learners’ speaking abilities. The research design is qualitative with observations, questionnaires, and interviews employed as the research instruments. Based on the analysis, state anxiety appeared to be the main problem for the students. Shy pupils avoid speaking, offer brief responses to queries in the target language, and prefer to remain alone. They have modest communication challenges, are sluggish to express their emotions, and often do not respond when others express their emotions. Self-confidence has an influence on pupils' speaking abilities. In other words, students with high self-confidence are more likely to speak English better than those of with low self-confidence. Another psychological factor - motivation could be influenced by two aspects: internal and external forces. The study's description is likely to be utilized as a consideration for other researchers conducting more research on psychological aspects influencing students' speaking ability in the English classroom.

Meaning in communication is crucial to be understood. Many problems appear due to misunderstandings between interlocutors in communication. Analyzing the speaker meaning in a communication is needed to avoid misunderstanding. There are aspects outside the literal meaning of communication that must be considered to avoid misunderstandings, they are verbal communication and non-verbal communication. This research conducted a qualitative method that use multimodal discourse analysis and focused on the relation of verbal and non-verbal communication to produce meaning. The theories that are used in this research were literal/explicit meaning and speaker/implicit meaning of Hurford et al. (2007), verbal communication of Jakobson (1985), and non-verbal communication of Moore et al. (2010). Moreover, there are presented theories of verbal and non-verbal communication that have been combined and developed by Kostić and Chadee (2014) and Tribus (2017). The source of data of the research was all of the characters in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone the movie. Moreover, table instruments were used to collect and analyze the data. The findings showed that they are related to the shift of utterances’ forms, determine politeness, and reveal the implicit meaning of the speaker’s illocution. Therefore, it concluded that interlocutors must consider both verbal and non-verbal communication at the same time while having a conversation to deliver meaning successfully and to avoid misunderstanding. Thus, this research can enrich the theories of pragmatics and TEFL, especially for speaking purposes.
