Abstract

The present research investigates the connection between students' language aptitude and their listening comprehension and further examines which specific aptitude components are most closely linked to listening performance. In order to address these objectives, a quantitative correlational design was employed. This research involved seventy-two participants from a Senior High School, selected randomly by clusters to minimize the bias potential. The data were collected through two instrument tests; LLAMA Aptitude Test and Self-made Listening comprehension test that were administered to the participant in two different sessions. The results of those tests were then analyzed by using Spearman’s rho correlation, as the data did not follow a normal distribution. The results from the analysis demonstrated a moderate, yet significant, positive association between language aptitude scores and listening comprehension, with a coefficient of .441. Furthermore, among the four subtests, sound recognition (LLAMA D) and grammatical inference (LLAMA F) showed significant correlations with listening comprehension, while sound symbol recognition (LLAMA E) showed a weak yet still showed significant correlation with listening. However, vocabulary learning (LLAMA B) did not demonstrate a meaningful relationship. These findings suggest that successful listening comprehension relies more heavily on phonological and grammatical processing skills rather than simple vocabulary memorization. The findings offer practical insights for language teaching, emphasizing the need to develop learners' sound processing and grammar inference abilities to improve listening skills.

Abstract

This study aims to determine what morphological level errors appear in college students' translation of recount texts from Indonesian to English based on Dulay's theory of surface strategy taxonomy. Referring on this theory, errors are divided into omission, addition, mis-formation and mis-ordering. This study was conducted in a descriptive qualitative method. The population was the members of UKM Bahasa Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Intan Lampung with the sample used in this study were 15 members of UKM Bahasa taken with random sampling technique by sharing the Google Form link to all the population and only collected 15 participants. The data of this study were participants' translation results in translating recount text from Indonesian to English, which they sent in the Google Form link. The result of this study shows that there are 130 morphological errors made by students in translating recount text. The most common morphological error is inflectional error, which appears 37 times; the least common is pronoun error, and the auxiliary error, which appears 6 times. Meanwhile, the most common error in the surface level of taxonomy strategy is mis-formation error which appears 58 times, followed by omission error 42 times and addition error 30 times. In this study, researchers did not find any mis-ordering errors that appeared.
