Abstract

In the realm of BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing) learning, learners grapple with a myriad of challenges, chief among them being the linguistic disparities between their native language (L1) and the target language (L2) they are striving to acquire. Mandarin Chinese, in particular, presents a unique challenge due to its partial incorporation of the /r/ sound, albeit to a lesser extent compared to Indonesian, and its distinct articulation, which varies markedly from other languages. Moreover, the pronunciation of this sound can differ among various Chinese dialects, adding an additional layer of complexity for Chinese learners of Indonesian. This study pursues three primary objectives: (1) the identification of sound changes in the /r/ sound; (2) the classification of the various types of sound changes affecting the /r/ sound; and (3) the identification of common sound changes associated with the /r/ sound within this specific learner group. To achieve these aims, a quantitative descriptive analysis methodology was employed. The research data were collected through voice recordings of 16 students enrolled in the fifth semester of the undergraduate program in Indonesian Studies at Zhejiang Yuexiu University of Foreign Languages, China. The results of the study unveiled a spectrum of phonetic proficiency levels and challenges among the participants. Notably, 75% of respondents demonstrated accurate pronunciation of the /r/ sound, showcasing a high level of proficiency in this aspect of their language acquisition. However, 15% exhibited a tendency to replace the sound with /l/, highlighting a specific area that requires targeted pedagogical interventions. Additionally, 5% grappled with zeroization, completely omitting this sound, underscoring the necessity for focused language instruction. In only 1% of instances, respondents produced words that were unidentifiable due to potential omissions, necessitating further investigation. Further research is strongly encouraged to explore the effectiveness of customized phonetic training programs and their correlation with learners' linguistic backgrounds in shaping pronunciation proficiency among Chinese students studying Indonesian.

Abstract

Current digital era has influenced the education system to provide technology-oriented activity in the classroom. The development of online formative assessment tools is one of the impacts of this digital revolution. This study aims at providing the perception of the university students on the use of one of online assessment tools called Plickers. The participants of this study consist of 11 pharmacy faculty students who got an English training. The use of Plickers was on their formative assessment of the English training. A semi-structured interview was conducted in order to gain the data. The interview focused on two research questions:(1) How do the university students compare traditional method with Plickers for English formative assessment? and (2) How are their perceptions on Plickers for English formative assessment? The results showed that the students had positive perceptions toward Plickers. When comparing Plickers to the traditional assessment method, the participants found that Plickers was more modern, more fun, and more effective and efficient. This study also elaborates the strength and the weakness of the Plickers in terms of the specific application. These findings could provide more insight on the use of Plickers for the assessment especially in Indonesian education.

Abstract

News always implies ideological background and social condition that produces it. News as popular media continuously constructs reality which is then believed to be the truth by the audience or readers. Pandemic COVID-19 has become an issue that attracts media as well as newspaper. The infection rate of COVID-19 keeps increasing due to the variants that continue to emerge. This research aims to investigate how COVID-19 variants, especially Delta and Omicron variants, are constructed on The Jakarta Post. The data used in this paper is the headline news about COVID-19 variants (Delta and Omicron) on The Jakarta Post during 2021-2022. The data was analyzed using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis. The analysis confirms that Delta Variant was constructed as deadly virus that caused so many problems in Indonesia, while Omicron Variant was represented as virus that was less harmful than Delta Variant. These findings imply the ideological background and social condition in Indonesia during the pandemic COVID-19. The media emphasized the government’s and society’s role during the pandemic COVID-19.

Abstract

Suicide notes are powerful pieces of evidence in suicide cases, left as messages by individuals who commit or intend to commit suicides. The intention of leaving suicide notes is mostly to convey thoughts and feelings that are unknown to people when the victims are alive. This study investigated the linguistic features contained in the suicide note written by a college student of UNNES using descriptive-qualitative as the research method and applying Prokofyeva's theory of suicide notes linguistic features. The suicide note is available and can be accessed online. This study aimed to analyze the forensic stylistic approach towards the suicide note by showing the linguistic features and interpreting the messages delivered by the victim. The researchers classified and described the data in five distinguished characteristics of linguistic features found in the suicide note; clear reasoning, expressing emotions, text structure, grammar, and punctuation. The findings revealed that all the features are present in the suicide note, yet the researchers found that there were different tenses used in the suicide note. The results found only ellipsis in the victim’s suicide note. The data findings in this research may assist future research regarding the study of forensic stylistics, specifically in investigating suicide notes.
