Abstract

This study aimed to implement a Business Meetings Project using a Digital Pocket Presentation Guide to improve EFL students' oral communication. Therefore, the action research design was implemented to match the purpose of the study. The data collection techniques were started by asking students to do a pretest, implement the model, do observations during the activities, distribute a questionnaire and do interviews to see the students' improvement by asking students to do the post-test. The result of the research showed that the student's progress sustainably improved from the first evaluation, which was 48,75, to the second evaluation, which was 53,760 and to the third evaluation, which was 56,25 for the mean. The score continuously improved from the first evaluation to the third evaluation. The results of the research show that the students gave good attitudes and responses during the process of implementing the model. Questionnaire and interview reports show that students agreed on the implemented model as it motivated and improved their self-confidence and capability in oral communication skills. In conclusion, implementing the business meeting projects through a digital pocket presentation guide enhanced students' verbal communication skills.

Abstract

The focus of the study was on moods and modality in virtual communication. The purposes of the research were to analyze the moods and modalities used by the lectures for virtual teaching to evaluate the manner of the moods and modalities realized in virtual teaching and to investigate reasons underlying the use of moods and modalities in virtual teaching. The sources of data for this research were verbal and nonverbal language from the interactions of virtual teaching. The data were utterances and gestures produced by the lecturers. The research design was qualitative research. The data were collected through recorded videos, observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The techniques of analyzing the data were applying interactive data analysis: data condensation, data display, and drawing and verification conclusion. It was found that the lectures used various kinds of moods. The declarative mood was dominantly used. In terms of modality, both modalization and modulation types of modality were used. The value of the modality selected was low, medium, and high. The manner of the mood system was realized by both marked and unmarked ones. The modalities were realized through the integration of verbal and verbal modalities. The modalities were used to manage the classroom and create a pleasant and understandable teaching and learning atmosphere. The result of this study gives a new insight into the function of language in teaching through online mode.

Abstract

This study aimed to look at the effects of code-switching in advertising. Descriptive-analytic research was used to ascertain how Indonesian tertiary students see code-switched internet advertising. Data from university students (N = 100) in Indonesia were gathered using a questionnaire as the study's tool. Once the data had been collected, it was computerised, and the descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) were used to tabulate it. According to the research, most tertiary students in Indonesia believed that code-switched online advertisements had a more significant influence than monolingual advertisements. Since the code-switched commercial was original, appealing, not confusing, easily intelligible, and didn't obliterate the Indonesian language, it has stayed in their minds and had a favourable impact. Additionally, most respondents concurred that code-switched internet adverts persuaded them to purchase the supplied goods. As a result, code-switched advertising favours Indonesia's online business environment since it is a very innovative, effective, and helpful method for developing marketing expertise.

Abstract

Error analysis is a linguistic analysis that focuses on identifying and describing the learner’s error in target language learning. This study focuses on grammatical mistakes frequently made by students who took their English placement test after enrolment at Universiti Sultan Azlan Shah. Samples from the writing test were collected. The errors were identified, recorded, categorized and analyzed. The findings of this study shed light on the most frequently occurring types of mistakes made by a sample of Malaysian ESL learners of higher learning institutions. From this, the researcher can determine the learners’ problem areas. It is found that the most frequently occurring grammatical errors are errors in the inflexion of verbs according to tense and number. Students also made mistakes using the past participle for the perfect tenses and passive sentences. Many of these errors were mainly technical, which did not affect the intended meanings. These errors reveal Malaysian students' difficulties in mastering the English verb forms due to the significant differences between the Malay and English verb systems. To a certain extent, participants are influenced by their native language structure and transfer them when using the L2. Lack of familiarity with exposure and usage of the target language can be attributed to the errors. Frequently occurring mistakes need to be treated with the necessary intervention by instructors, and suitable learning strategies need to be practised by students to prevent fossilization.

Abstract

Reading is a very complex process consisting of lower- and higher-level processing. Inference generation is necessary to achieve higher-level processing. It is challenging for Japanese EFL readers because they must use many cognitive resources in lower-level processing, such as word recognition and syntax analysis. This study investigated the relationship between Japanese EFL learners' predictive inference generation as higher-level processing and text coherence from the encoding perspective rather than activation. We used a cued recall task whose rates would be evidence of the reader's encoding of predictive inferences. The recall rates in the high predictability target version, which allowed readers to predict an outcome easily, were more significant than other text versions, and results were affected by the reader's proficiency. These findings suggest that EFL learners' encoding of predictive inference can be influenced under the specific text conditions in higher-level proficiency groups.
