Abstract

This article describes types of language choices by speakers of different ethnic and linguistic backgroundsinUjung Gading, a nagari in Pasaman, West Sumatera, Indonesia, where speakers of the Mandailing, Minangkabau, andJavanese languages have lived for a long time in harmony. Data for this descriptive qualitative study was obtainedfromdirect observation of the use of language by selected speakers in family and public domains in the region. The datawererecorded, and interviews were done to gain information on the socio-cultural and linguistic backgrounds of thespeakers.Fishman’s (1972) domain is used for language choice analysis. Ninety speech events with a different type of languagechoice are observed. Intra-language switching is the most dominant type (67%), indicating that communicationinfamilydomains is still conducted in everybody’s native language. Code-mixing and code-switching are mostly encounteredincommunication between the speakers of the Mandailing and Minangkabau languages, showing that bothpartieshaveaknowledge of each other’s language and an ability, with a different degree, to switch to the language of the interlocutors.Javanese speakers do not have this ability and use Indonesian instead of conversing with a speaker of otherlocallanguages. Unlike in most bilingual or multilingual societies in Indonesia, here the Indonesian language is notthelanguage of instruction in the public domain. Thus, it is not a threat to the existence of the local language.

Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate students' basic knowledge of intercultural communication aimingat gettingsome insight for improving the teaching materials and teaching delivery for the Intercultural Business CommunicationsubjectinPoliteknik Negeri Padang. It is a small-scale study on students' perception of cultural sensitivity in communicating withpeoplefromdifferent international language backgrounds for work purposes. Both close-ended and open-ended questionnaires were designedtoinvestigate to what extent intercultural communication aspects need to be introduced into the syllabus of the targetedsubject. Theresults of this study indicated that students did not fully understand the concept of appropriateness in communicating across culturesin a broader context, and their knowledge of related cultural issues in the international communication context for workneedstobeimproved. The conclusion generated from this research is that even though cross-cultural elements need to be introducedtoteachingEnglish in vocational higher education, careful planning is required to avoid a cultural clash with the local Minangkabauwisdom.This study recommends implementing the 'global Englishes' approach in introducing western cultural values in professional andbusiness interaction in designing lesson plans and teaching materials

Abstract

In recent years, it is significant for the higher education students to have the proficiency in English. Most of theseinstitutions set this language proficiency as one of the requirements for their students to graduate. They have been designingandestablishing various ways on how to increase the student’s proficiency, particularly in pronunciation skill. However, theresultsobtained are yet satisfactory. As a matter of fact, in measuring the English pronunciation skill, the guidance fromthe expertsornative speakers are still needed. Thus, the development of the artificial intelligence nowadays can have great contributiontoreplacethe existence of these experts by integrating it into the pronunciation learning. The aim of this research was to establishatrainingsystem in pronunciation, to provoke the students’ self-directed learning. Besides that, this system was also developedinordertoautomatically measure the learning effectiveness by employing the paired sample t-test. The results show that the systemthathasbeen established can measure the percentage of the student’s pronunciation accuracy in each utterance they make, and whetherthereis a essential improvement in students pronunciation ability.

Abstract

This research aims at observing and investigating the Seven Standards of Textuality in the Students’ English Written Texts. The methodology used was qualitative case study research. The setting was at Islamic Senior High School Students (MAN) Lembah Melintang whereas; the research participants were Islamic Senior High School “Excel” Students. The number of the research participants was 35. The research finding indicates that the students were frequent to produce the textuality errors in their English written texts. The number of errors of cohesion (substitution: 60, ellipsis: 28, reference: 50, conjunction: 78 and lexical cohesion: 156 times) was 372 times, of coherence (additional ideas: 34, contrary: 21, and summary: 35 times, whereas; the cause-effect relationship and example/specific meaning were not found or produced) was 90 times. The textuality error were mainly caused by interference or language transfer and interlanguage. In conclusion, the students have not been able to produce cohesion and coherence to achieve well-organized ideas in their English written texts. Meanwhile the other five standards of textuality were fair to concern and reasonably related. Interference or language transfer and interlanguage were the root of the problem in achieving well-established text’s standards of textuality

Abstract

Understanding the connection between EFL learners’ speech fluency and its connection with motivation could provide alternatives for teachers to improve teaching approaches and develop learners’ self-determination. The study investigated the possible connection between motivation and speech fluency among EFL learners. The theoretical framework of self-determination theory and fluency theory was the beacon. While Self-determination theory may shed light regarding the different types of motivation that learners have, fluency theory can provide a base to understand how learners' speech fluency factors may interact with their motivation. A quantitative approach using correlation analysis was employed to collect and analyse data from 54 EFL learners aged 18-25 studying at a vocational university. The administration of a questionnaire to assess learners’ motivation and speech tasks to measure their speech fluency was employed to gather the data. The results show that for EFL learners in the context of the study, their motivation seemed to influence their speech fluency development. These findings contribute to our understanding of the factors that influence speech fluency in EFL learners and have implications for EFL teachers in designing effective pedagogical interventions to enhance students' motivation and speech fluency.

Abstract

The theme of working memory has been attracting increasing interest in second language acquisition because working memory is one important cognitive variable affecting the language learning process. Previous research has focused on the relationship between working memory and corrective feedback, but the impact of the methodological factors used to measure working memory and corrective feedback in those studies on the effectiveness of working memory and corrective feedback remain unclear. The current study provides a meta-analysis of studies of working memory on the effects of language gains after corrective feedback. In this meta-analysis, samples from 12 primary studies involving 489 participants were retrieved to calculate average effect sizes of the correlations between working memory and language gains of oral corrective feedback. The results found that working memory has a positive small effect sizes on language gains of oral corrective feedback (r =.321). The findings also showed the methodological factors had an impact on the correlation between working memory and language gains of oral corrective feedback (e.g., types of corrective feedback provided, measures of working memory used, research setting of studies, and academic status of participants). These findings make a better understanding of the working mechanics of CF and WM. These findings also make methodological suggestions for future research on the study of WM on language outcomes of CF in second language acquisition.
