Abstract

This study aimed to find out the attracted and repelled verbs occur in the construction of future will of Covid-19 vaccine in Malaysia and how these verbs indicate the predictability of vaccination for locals. A specific context of Covid-19 vaccine in Malaysia from February to April in 721 Malaysian English online newspaper were used as the source of data in this study. A sequential explanatory design was used in this research which consisted of simple collexeme analysis to get a list of attracted and repelled verbs in future will and qualitative descriptive to explain how those verbs indicate the predictability of vaccination for Malaysian. This study revealed that aspectual verbs (e.g., start, begin, continue), engender verbs (e.g., benefit, enable, result), and verbs of desire (e.g., need, deliberate) are the top three of attracted verbs classification. Meanwhile, in repelled verbs classification, it is nominated by verbs with predicative complement (e.g., accept, buy, address), verbs of creation and transformation (e.g., raise, assist), and engender verbs as well as aspectual verbs.  Those attracted verbs also indicate the predictability of Covid-19 vaccine in Malaysia was limited to the distribution and how the vaccination program was prepared. This study is also expected to give practical implications on the use of collostructional analysis for further research in grammatical structures and semantical aspects especially on the methodology and data analysis as well as being reference and guidance for any related fields in terms of future will usage.

Abstract

As verbal aptitude is viewed as linguistic academic potency, this study aimed to investigate the correlation between students’ verbal aptitude and inferential skill in reading as well as to analyze the possibility for low verbal aptitude students to achieve high score in inferential skill test and identify the factors that influence students’ inferential skill in foreign language learning at senior high school age.   A mixed study with sequential explanatory design in which Pearson Product Moment Correlation and interview were conducted in this study.  The data were gathered from documentation, test, and interview of the selected sample using purposive and random sampling technique.  The result revealed that the rXY is .651 and rtable  at a significant level of 5% is .234, which means that rXY ≥ rtable  with significant correlation 7.21 higher than r-table (1.99495). As a result, there is a strong significant correlation between students’ verbal aptitude and inferential skill in reading. Furthermore, the study also showed that students with low verbal aptitude (11%) can achieve high score in inferential skill but not as high as high verbal aptitude students’ scores. The factors that influence students’ inferential skills are age, motivation and interest, background knowledge, topics’ interest, working memory, language skills, personality, learning styles, and extended English course.
