Abstract

This study is a pragmatic context of conversational implicature. It aimed to identify the types of conversational implicature and the non-observance maxim of cooperative principles expressed by the characters in a movie entitled Gifted. The objectives of the research are to identify the types of conversational implicature by the characters in the movie. This research applied a mixed method (descriptive qualitative method and quantitative method) to analyze the data. The data were in the form of utterances in the movie which were organized and analyzed based on Grice’s theory of conversational implicature. The findings of this research are explained as follows: particularized conversational implicature is found as the most dominant type of conversational implicature performed by the characters in the movie since most of the implied meanings needed background knowledge.

Abstract

This research aims at proving whether or not teaching speaking skills using problem solving method can develop the students’ speaking skills of Grade XI at SMA Negeri 1 Ampibabo. The research employed a quantitative method with one class pretest-posttest design. The instrument of this research was a test. The populations of this research were the Grade XI students at SMA N 1 Ampibabo. The samples were 38 students of class XI IPA 1. The data of this research were collected by administering pretest and posttest. The results of the data analysis indicate that: the mean pretest score is 58.44, the mean posttest score is 67.13 and the t-counted value is 13.35. The t-critical value with a degree of freedom (df) 37 and significance level at 0.05 was 1.687. Based on the analysis above the alternative hypothesis of this research was accepted, because the t-counted value is greater than the t-table value (13.35>1.687). Thus, teaching speaking skills by using problem-solving method can significantly develop the students’ speaking skills.

Abstract

This study aimed to measure the effectiveness of the implementation of TOEFL Preparation in order to increase the students’ TOEFL test scores, then the scores can be used for academic purposes. The research conducted was an experimental study with a paired-sample t-test. Participants consisted of 20 selected students at Khairun University, namely through pretest, treatment (listening, structure, reading), and posttest. The research method used two types of instruments: pre-test, which used to measure the TOEFL test initial score, and post-test, which was used to measure the final score. The data collected from both the pre-test and post-test is then analyzed by using the paired-sample t-test in SPSS. The result showed that there were significant differences between students' scores in the pre-test and post-test in the three sections: Listening, Structure and written Expression, and Reading Comprehension. It also showed that the overall TOEFL preparation class students have increased scores. The part that has the biggest difference was the reading skill compared to the previous two sections. The students’ maximum score increased in the post-test in all three sections which means there was an increase of the score. The effectiveness of this program was strongly supported by the implemented learning model, namely PBL. The implementation of PBL in this program is very relevant because students are guided to identify the problems that usually arise in TOEFL questions and how to solve them.

Data were processed with SPSS software version 26.0. A univariate analysis was chosen to describe the frequency distribution and percentage of each variable. Spearman's correlation coefficient, r, was used to evaluate the association among the variables, and a two-tailed p < 0.05 was considered the statistically significant relationship between sample characteristics, the benefit of online training substance, and the developing teacher skills in using several online learning applications during the Covid-19 pandemic. Respondent areas mapping used geographic information system (GIS), assisted by ArcGIS 10.3 software. The results confirmed that 748 (82.11%) teachers said that more learning applications were mastered during the pandemic compared to before Covid-19 infection. The gender, education, school level, and region didn’t influence skill improvement in using online learning applications. But it was largely determined by the online training substance, the significance value < 0.05, and the degree of relationship 0.90.

Abstract

Regret, a cognitive phenomenon capable of revealing a person's disposition about certain realities, is conceived as a tool to unpack Nigerian migrants' perceptions about the country. This paper examines discourse strategies of regrets' construction in the online discourses of Nigerian migrants. The data consist of eighty-eight responses of Nigerian migrants downloaded from the NAIRALAND where many Nigerians in the diaspora expressed their regrets about leaving the country. These were subjected to qualitative-descriptive analysis, using van Dijk's (2007) model of discourse strategies. The findings uncover two forms of regrets constructed in the discourse: positive and negative. The positive regrets' construction characterizes "not leaving early" regrets; positive self-appraisal and negative representation of the country. Frustration experience in the foreign countries and juxtaposition of specific circumstances in Nigeria to contemporary experiences elsewhere frame negative regrets' construction. These were constructed through discourse strategies such as presupposition, implication, lexicalization, hyperbole, illustration, metaphor and disclaimer. These Nigerians' use of language in this discourse indexes hopelessness, visionless leaders, lawlessness and economic hardship. The study concludes that while the views of Nigerian migrants may not be true, perhaps, the government may urgently look into these views and act to convince other Nigerians to prevent the exodus of prospective Nigerian migrants which could lead to brain drain.

Abstract

The choice of learning media is one of the determining factors for student interest and understanding in a learning process. This study aims to determine the perceptions and barriers of tourism students to the use of Moodle as an online learning application. Student perceptions and barriers were measured through perceived usefulness and perceived ease by using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) from Davis (1989). Data was collected through questionnaires to all tourism management students who took online lectures in the odd semester of 2020, using the Moodle application as a Learning Management System. This study shows that the use of the Moodle application provides benefits in terms of providing resources/materials, free time, understanding the topic, increasing independence, increasing discipline, increasing self-confidence, increasing ICT skills, and creating fun learning. Meanwhile, in terms of the ease of use of the Moodle application, students agreed that the ease was felt in terms of using technology, timing, accessing materials, navigating the features contained in Moodle, using language, instructions, assignments, and the lack of technical obstacles in using Moodle. Meanwhile, the identified barriers include: lack of motivation to learn, lack of interaction with other students and lecturers, and internet connection. This study suggests increasing student motivation to learn by designing varied learning modules and able to increase interaction between students and lecturers. This study also suggests investing in internet network supporting infrastructure, in order to provide adequate internet access for students and asynchronous forms of learning.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the students’ motivational orientations in learning English. The method of this research is a quantitative method and a questionnaire is used to collect the data. The result from this research indicates that there are differences in the level of motivation possessed by female and male students. Females tend to learn English with the aim of understanding English in terms of literacy and culture. Meanwhile, males learn English because they want to get good privileges such as having broad insight, getting a good job, and social status. Males have a high level of instrumental motivational orientation with a total percentage of 72.50% while females have 67.50%. Besides that females achieve a high integrative level with a percentage of 92.50% and males reached 80%. It can be concluded that males and females have different motivational orientations.
