Abstract

Nowadays, the usage of stickers especially in LINE Messenger is very popular, especially among teenagers. In spite of that, misunderstanding is still happen often. The reasons for choosing LINE stickers are that they are full-sized and expressive so many users can face a misunderstanding while using it. Also LINE provides a wide range of kind of stickers, and that it is very important for users to understand the meaning of each sticker to avoid misunderstanding. This study aims to identify the elements of visual and verbal signs contained in LINE messenger. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method. The data used in this study is 20 visual (stickers) and verbal (texts), in which sticker is the main data meanwhile text is used as supporting data. The source of the data in this study is LINE Messenger. The data was then analyzed by using semiotic theory with a trichotomy model proposed by Charles Sanders Peirce. The results of the analysis show that every sticker contains qualisign aspects such as colors, gestures, etc., but not every meaning contain in the sticker is affected by their quality. It is also shown that every sticker is replica, but it still refers to the law. Every sticker must also share at least one similar characteristic or icon with the object they represents and the sticker used must base on the topic which occurred. The symbol is in the form of key word which makes it easier for the user to choose the sticker variations. Rheme and dicent show that meaning can be derived from the elements contain in the stickers. The differences are rheme contain qualisign and icon, meanwhile dicent only contain secondness aspects. Argument shows that meaning can be derived from hypotheses, standards in society, or even the sign itself. Keywords: LINE messenger, Sign, Visual, Sticker

Abstract

Any ESP course design should be hinged on elaborate needs of learners so as to come up with a course that is inclusive. This can only be achieved after conducting a needs analysis that takes into consideration the views of all relevant stakeholders. Needs analysis is an important step in any syllabus design and particularly that which touches on ESP. That notwithstanding, ESP practitioners are ignoring this very paramount step when designing a course. Consequently, this paper looked at the target and language learning needs of tour guide learners pursuing an ESP course in Kenya from the students’ perspective, teachers’ perceptions and employers’ perceptions as far as the ESP course offered to learners is concerned. This paper focuses on listening and speaking skills. The paper based its theoretical framework on Munbian (1978) Approach and Learning Centered Approach by Hutchinson and Waters (1987). A descriptive research design is adopted in the study. The data analysed in this paper is got from Orang’i (2013). This paper is an attempt to show that learners can very ably articulate their needs and that teachers too can give their perceptions on learners’ needs thanks to their experience in the field. Equally, employers as has been seen in this paper also have a say on the ESP courses offered to learners. It is shown that needs analysis is an important stage in needs analysis that should not be overlooked and when it is conducted, it should involve all the stakeholders in order to come up with needs that are encompassing.

Abstract

Exposure is one of the obvious obstacles in the process of teaching and learning English. In figuring out one prospective exposure in students’ daily life, this study investigates the effect of newspapers as a medium in enhancing students’ English achievement, especially writing skill. The objective of this study is to find out whether students assigned to read English newspapers write better than those who are not. The subjects of the study were 85 English department students who were randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group. A quasi-experimental was employed in this study. For six executive weeks, before the students were asked to write, the students in the experimental group were assigned to read English newspapers, whereas then students in the control group were not.  By using Mann-Whitney and one-way ANOVA tests, the results of this study show insignificant results (0, 273; 0,194; and 0,179). As the high proficient students also could not take the newspapers for their learning benefits, affective and intrinsic factors such as awareness and willingness had to be considered.

The findings of this study turned out that the teacher employed indirect corrective feedback and gave symbols to the student’s error production. Most of the students are highly motivated to be able to write a status on Facebook or other online media by using English. The most important advantage of obtaining corrective feedback for the students is to understand the use of grammar in making a sentence. This study concluded that the motivation of the students to write recount text was to get teacher corrective feedback to be able to write the appropriate sentence and to increase their ability in writing English.
