Abstract

This study investigates code-switching in an EFL online classroom interaction. The research data were gathered by using fieldnotes, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews on one hundred and twenty students and three English teachers. It demonstrates that both teachers and students code-switched during online English lessons. Tag switching and establishing continuity with the previous speaker were mostly used which reached 38.4%, inter-sentential switching15.5%, and intra-sentential 7.7%. respectively. In terms of the language, the findings show that classroom interaction was dominated by the use of Bahasa Indonesia 74.0%, English 52.8%, and Sundanese 16.5%. Code-switching was effective for teachers and students in EFL learning. It proved to 1) significantly influence students' activeness, 2) encourage and give better feedback to students through alternative reinforcement, and 3) encourage better teachers’ and students’ negotiation. With regard to efficiency, conveying meaning of the materials and bringing the project as well as assignment were essential. Nevertheless, some issues came up as a consequence of the Covid -19 outbreaks. Notably, some factors affecting the results were 1) the internet connection, 2) the students’ attendance, and 3) balance. Those results suggest that the potential next research is more likely to respond to students' need to campaign online learning to be better. Some issues come up as consequent of covid-19 outbreaks. Notably, some factors mentioned: (1) the stable or unstable internet connection, (2) the presence of students, and (3) balance. Those results suggest that the potential next research is more likely to respond students’ need to campaign online learning to be better.

Abstract

“Colours Magazine” is an official monthly publication magazine of Garuda Indonesia Airlines. It is a bilingual magazine written in English and Bahasa Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Newmark’s translation procedures and its resulting grammatical equivalence between the source text (ST) and target text (TT). This study focused on the implementation of (1) the transference procedure; (2) the naturalization procedure; (3) the cultural equivalent procedure; (4) the synonymy procedure; (5) the modulation procedure; (6) the couplets procedure; (7) the grammatical equivalence achievements through the use of those procedures. This research employed a descriptively qualitative approach. The study findings reveal that transference is the most dominant procedure, which is used 61 times. Couplets are the second rank which has been used 36 times. The cultural equivalent is used 24 times and the naturalization procedure 14 times. At the same time, modulation is used 11 times and 13 times for synonymy. On the other hand, the researchers also found that implementing six translation procedures has resulted in 82 number equivalents, 126 tense equivalents, and 125 voice equivalent sentences. 25 non-equivalent sentences in the number category happened because there are different habits of delivering singularity and plurality between ST and TT. In the tense grammatical category, there are 10 non-equivalent sentences caused by different rules between the source and target languages. While in the voice category, there are 8 non-equivalent sentences caused by the changing of the words, the use of specific terms, and the changing of subject position.

Abstract

Considering the important roles of discourse markers in writing academic purposes, the researchers evaluate the use of discourse markers in English Education Journal articles. This research aims to find out the types of discourse markers precisely contrastive, elaborative and inferential discourse markers, and the errors in using those expressions. This research uses a qualitative research design with the data from written language especially the journal articles published by English Education Journal (EEJ). Thus, specifically this research employs content analysis. There were twenty journal articles analyzed. They represented their volume especially there are four volumes in 2020. The findings of this research demonstrated that all of the research data applied those types of discourse markers. The type of elaborative discourse markers were the first type used by the writers. It is the frequently used by the writers in the journal articles. In this case, it used in 890 times. The expression frequently used is and. Meanwhile, the errors in using discourse markers in the journal articles occurred in 17 times. Here, the wrong relation category as the commonly applied in 7 times. These findings inform us to improve our awareness in applying those expressions. Thus, it can be concluded that the discourse markers is required in creating journal articles. Therefore, the writers have to concern regarding to the categories of errors in using discourse markers for avoiding inappropriateness.

Abstract

This research aimed to find out how the thematic progression structure is applied in the background of students’ research project proposal and how the thematic progression functions to achieve cohesion in the background of the research project proposal. The objectives of this research were to explain the structure of thematic progression and to explain the function of thematic progression to achieve cohesion in the background of the studies section of students’ final project proposal. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach. Fifteen research project proposals were used as the source of the data. The research findings reveal that a constant theme was the primarily used pattern of thematization to organize the research project proposal background in students’ writings. It concluded that the realization of the constant theme was the most straightforward pattern of thematization applied by the students to organize the final projects. That was not hard because the form of the constant theme was just repeated, replaced, substituted, or changed some non-numeral description into a similar way to a clause. Besides, it was found that the amount of reference, substitution, and conjunction occurs in the text, and Ellipsis did not apply to 15 texts. So both grammatical references and substitutions were achieved in this area through thematic progression. The thematization used by the students was able to achieve grammatical cohesion in their writings

Abstract

Since the Covid-19 pandemic is affecting the new educational environments, synchronous and asynchronous e-learning environments have been integrated into the teaching and learning process. This study aims to explain how significant the students’ achievement is taught in e-learning environments in teaching writing to students with different personalities. The design of this study was a quasi-experimental design with a 2×2 factorial design. This study was conducted on the eighth-grade students at SMP N 2 Mantup. The questionnaire and written test were carried out by t-test and two-way ANOVA. This study discovered a relationship between the e-learning environments and students' personalities, which influences their ability to write recount texts. This research showed that an asynchronous e-learning environment was effective for students with introverted personalities, and a synchronous e-learning environment was effective for students with extroverted personalities. This study also compared the use of the e-learning environments for each personality in improving writing recount text. Thus, this study presented a new perspective on the importance of paying attention to students' personalities in selecting the e-learning environments to improve writing recount text. The contribution of this study provided to the ELT development was new insight on how effective the teaching implemented in a dual mode digital environment is, no matter what personality the students possess. Thus, it is proven that modern teaching has no boundary, spatially and temporally.

Abstract

In English education, speaking skills are very crucial developed, because it plays essential roles in communication. Based on the research at SMP Al Falah, multiple problems might have taken place concerning the teaching and learning of speaking skills. One was the traditional technique that made the learning process run monotonously and boring. Besides that, many students still needed help, such as they answered with many lexico-grammatical mistakes and ideas required to speak up. They also needed to be more confident. Therefore, this research applied to multitask role play, it is the role-play technique combined with activities or tasks which allow the students to get exposed to authentic models from youtube, communicate with each other, and solve a problem or complete a task. In this case, the writers figured out that this role play used authentic materials as models that can be taken from the internet, such as the videos from "you tube' and information gap activities as further skills practice. This research aims to explain how significant the students' achievement is taught by using multitask role play and traditional techniques with different self-confidence levels in teaching speaking skills. This research design was a quasi-experimental design with a 2x2 factorial design involving the eighth-grade students SMP Al Falah, Cirebon. In collecting the data, the writers used a speaking test to get students' scores and questionnaires. The data was analyzed using ANOVA to answer the main hypotheses. The results show that implementing Multitask Role play is more effective than Traditional technique with scores of 0.000 for MTRP and 0.073 for TT. It was because of the multitask role play focused on students-center, used accurate models from youtube, PPT to explain the materials, and let students create the dialog using their own words by making the information gap. It is inversely proportional to the Traditional technique which is still teacher-center, explained the materials monotonously with textbook, and only asked students to memorize the delivered dialog. Based on the findings, the writers believe that this study can be a reference for the study of English education and language education development in teaching speaking skills. One of them is how to apply role play technique combined with another activity.
