Abstract

Abstracts in journal articles serve to present brief and clear information regarding research which generally covers the issue raised, the objectives, the methodology used and findings of the research. Consequently, an abstract holds a notable function and is considered as the face of the journal because most readers read the abstract first before going on to read the full paper. The objective of this study was to qualitatively analyse and compare the rhetorical moves and genre development of abstracts in soft science research articles before and after training. Forty abstracts—20 abstracts before receiving an intervention and 20 abstracts after receiving an intervention—written by Indonesian scholars in the soft science field were employed as data. Hyland’s (2000) five-rhetorical move model was used to analyse the data. The findings reveal that there are differences and developments in the use of rhetorical moves in journal article abstracts after receiving an intervention. This study can be used as an overview or as a reference for future research in the discourse analysis field, especially the analysis of abstract.Keywords: abstract writing; moves analysis; genre development; discourse analysis.

Abstract

This study examines translanguaging as a political tool in Pakistan used to exploit ethnic sensitivities of speech communities. Building upon the grounded theory, concept of translanguaging was reconsidered to examine the politicized use of codes. The modified concept has been used to analyse the discourse of politicians and to demonstrate that such a mixed code has generated three tactical outcomes: politicization of language use, manipulation of general will, and exploitation of electoral support. The data comes from speeches of Pakistani politicians in Sindh, Pakistan between 2018 to 2020. This study demonstrates the politics of translanguaging, that is, the exploitation of language use for political purposes and argues that language policy experts should be made aware of such ramifications of the use of translanguaging as a political tool. Keywords: ethnic sensitivities; exploitation; language policy; Pakistan; Sindh; translanguaging.

Abstract

Drawing on Flavell’s (1979) conception of metacognition, Vandergrift and Goh (2012) proposed a metacognitive framework for L2 listening to facilitate listening comprehension and help learners cope with listening difficulties by influencing their operations through processes of planning, monitoring, problem-solving, and evaluation. This study was executed to find if there is any intrapersonal difference among five factors of metacognitive awareness of L2 listening, and which factors are the most used by the high achievers and low achievers for their successful listening comprehension. The overall purpose of the study was to investigate i) what factors did play the role among high achievers and low achievers, and ii) what are the interpersonal differences among the factors; planning and evaluation, person knowledge, problem-solving, directed attention and mental translation, for L2 listening comprehension. To apprehend the research objectives, twelve Bangladeshi undergraduate EFL learners in the experimental group (06) and control group (06) received metacognitive instruction and traditional instruction based on product approach respectively for 5 weeks using five transactional listening texts. To gauge the changes, a pre-test, a post-test and two metacognitive awareness listening questionnaires (MALQ) were administrated. The quantitative method research embodied the notion of triangulation for this study. Using a one-way within-subjects ANOVA, the result revealed that there was a significant effect of metacognitive awareness factors on L2 listening comprehension accounted for over 65% of the total variance in the data.Keyword: metacognitive instruction; MALQ;  metacognitive awareness

In this research, the researcher aims to portray two objectives, namely identifying whether CLIL method is effective to improve students’ factual report writing skill, and examining students’ attitude towards the implementation of this method. This research employs a quasi-experimental design through applying two instruments, namely tests which consists pre-test and post-test, and questionnaires. 60 students of eleventh-grade social class of a state senior high school in Kuningan are involved in the research. They are divided into a control and an experimental group. Tests are analysed quantitatively to identify the first research objective, questionnaires are analysed with descriptive statistic to examine the second research objective. The result taken from independent t-test shows that there is a significant difference on the students’ writing skill since the level of significant is lower than the alpha (0.0000.005) which indicates that CLIL is effective in improving students’ writing skill. Furthermore, the result taken from questionnaires portrays that students show positive attitude towards the implementation of CLIL in teaching and learning process.Keywords: Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), factual report, writing skill

Abstract

This research presents an interpersonal meaning analysis of two online news concerning Ahok’s blasphemy case in the two online news portals. The two selected news coming from The Jakarta Post and Republika.co.id were analyzed to find out the mood types and to describe the underlying reason of the news from the differences of modality system. This descriptive qualitative research involved the analysis of mood and modality types of clauses identified. As results, it shows that the interpersonal meaning was applied. Yet, not all mood or modality types appeared in the two online news. There is only one mood and one modality type appeared, namely indicative which is declarative type and modalization which is probability type. Therefore, it can be concluded that both writers used the same mood and modality types in the online news of Ahok’s blasphemy case as well as their interpersonal meaning are determined by contextual factors such as the aims or needed in giving information about the news event of Ahok’s blasphemy case in Indonesia.Keywords: Interpersonal meaning, Ahok, blasphemy case, online news

Abstract

: In the process of communication, EFL students frequently experience problem in saying what they want to say in English. Oral Communication Strategies (OCS) surface as the students needs to solve problems of expressing their intended meaning. This descriptive qualitative study intended to analyze (1) types of OCS used by students while conducting discussion, and (2) the students’ reasons for using certain types of OCS. The participants of this study were a group discussion consisting of five EFL students of English Education Department in the University of Kuningan. The data in this study were gained from observation and interview which were then transcribed. The data were analyzed qualitatively by using Dornyei’s (1995) taxonomy of OCS. The results revealed that students participated in this study tended to use achievement strategies (73.07%) more frequently than avoidance strategies (26.92%). Specifically, students used nine out of twelve communication strategy types, and the most frequent strategy used by students while conducting discussion was the use of fillers strategy (51.28%). Then, the students’ reasons for using fillers strategy in their communication were basically because of their lack of English vocabulary knowledge and content knowledge of topics which were being discussed. Thus, students encounter communication problems as the results of target linguistic inadequacy. Hence, further study might yield different result if the topics chosen for discussion were desired topics among students.Keywords: EFL (English as a Foreign Language), Oral Communication Strategies, Discussion

Abstract

This study reports on applying the teaching of oral communication strategies (OCSs) in the speaking class to improve students’ speaking skill. It was designed in a quasi-experimental research. 53 undergraduate EFL students in the English Department of a private university in Kuningan were purposively chosen as the participant of the course. They were grouped into control and experimental class. The course material of OCSs was adapted from a study conducted by Nakatani (2005). The effects of teaching OCSs were assessed by two types of data collection: the participants’ pre-test and posttest speaking scores, and the transcription from the tests. The first result showed that the most frequently used OCSs in the speaking class were filled pauses, interlanguage-based, false starts, providing active response, first-language-based, and approximation strategy. Then, second, the t result indicated that tobs was greater than tcrit. Therefore, it can be concluded that the teaching of OCSs in the EFL speaking class had a significant effect in developing students’ speaking skill. It indicates that such training activities are relatively applicable to use in the language classroom.Keywords:  EFL teaching, oral communication strategies, speaking skill

Abstract

This paper comes out of concerns about teaching English writing to vocational high school students in EFL learners’ context. This study points out how the process-product hybrid approach affects students’ writing skills in solving some complex problems in order to generate deep comprehension of writing. In this study, quasi-experimental research was applied to measure the students’ writing improvement by collecting the data from instruments which covered pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire. The findings showed that students’ writing skill improved significantly. It also revealed that almost all of the students responded the statements positively and they believed that this approach can help them in improving their writing skill since it gives full comprehension of writing and serves more interesting teaching learning activities. Therefore, this integrated approach has become the most recommended approach for teachers to improve students’ writing competences.Keywords: process-product hybrid approach, teaching English writing, students’ writing skills.
