The design of this research is qualitative with phenomenological methods.

Abstract

Indonesian language textbooks play a significant role in understanding students, especially in mastering the competence of writing scientific papers following the grammatical rules of the Indonesian language. The learning resource books used so far are still limited to theoretical studies and are not yet competency-based. For this reason, this research aims to develop competency-based textbooks on the Indonesian language at Universitas PGRI Silampari. The research uses the Dick, Carey, & Carey model. The research instruments used were needs analysis sheets, expert validation sheets, and tests. Qualitative data were analyzed by document content analysis, and quantitative data were analyzed by t-test. The results of the development of competency-based Indonesian language textbooks are feasible and effective in use, evidenced by the results of the validity test obtaining a score of 82 or 82%, meaning that the developed teaching materials are suitable for use. Then, from the results of the effectiveness test with the One Sample Test t-test, it was obtained sig (2-tailed) = 0.00, which is less than the value of 0.05, indicating that the textbook was used effectively by students.

Abstract

The competence level of language users can be analysed through error analysis. This study sought to understand the level at which undergraduate students at the Moshi Co-operative University in Tanzania have attained English language competence through error analysis. The study collected 60 abstracts from three bachelor degree programs pursued at the University. The study used qualitative research design and error analysis theory to identify, group and describe errors. The findings revealed that students are prone to errors. The most problematic ones include fragment and dangling modifier errors, wrong usage of definite and indefinite errors and fused sentence errors. Some of the apparent errors that students made were punctuation errors; these were made of negligence since the learners could have minimised them through their tutors' interventions. This study urges the tutors of these students to help correct these obvious errors as there could be long-term negligence among these learners, negatively impacting their English language competence. This study urges teachers to devise teaching strategies to minimise errors students commit when learning a second language.

Abstract

This is a qualitative case study that focused on elaborating the strategies used by EFL lecturers in building their pragmatic competence, the benefit they got after using those strategies, and how the lecturers built up students’ pragmatic competence in the classroom. Interviews, observation, and document analysis were the techniques of collecting data. 7 English lecturers were selected as the subject of the research. The findings showed that the English lecturers used several strategies to build their pragmatic competence, namely watching western films, reading English novels, building communication with native speakers, and joining international friendship community. Those strategies enriched their vocabulary or choice of words and idioms and trained them to speak natural English in a variety of communication contexts. Students’ pragmatic competence was built by using films, top-down approach on pronunciation teaching, pair work speaking and small group discussion, using authentic language in meaningful context, providing corrective feedback, introducing fillers, conversation maintenance cues, and implementing responsive activities. Pragmatic competence should be a leading goal for all those who teach ESL/EFL language, which simultaneously represents a challenging task as well.

The paired sample test results indicate that there was a significance improvement (0.000) in students reading comprehension in experimental group, but no significance improvement were found in controlled group (0.735). Furthermore, the result of independent sample test revealed that the reading comprehension achievement of the students in experimental group were significantly (0.000) better than that of those in controlled group. The result showed students who study using expert groups were able to discuss freely with one another. This result suggests that Jigsaw Method was appropriate to be implemented to improve reading comprehension for students in non-major English basic science.

Abstract

Many representations of human thoughts, ideas, opinions, and messages are portrayed in diverse situations of the character in literary works. Among the works are such as novels. Deixis is concerned with the encoding of many different aspects of the circumstances surrounding the utterances and within the utterances themselves. This study aims to find out the type of social deixis and discourse deixis used in the novel ‘‘Bird Box’’ written by Josh Malerman, published in 2014. The research design used is the qualitative approach with document analysis as the data collection technique. Cruse’s theory (2000) is applied to analyze the data related to the types of social deixis and discourse deixis found in the novel. The results of this research show that there are 475 data containing social deixis and discourse deixis, with 317 data of social deixis (of these, 307 data are related to relational social deixis and 10 data are related to absolute social deixis), and 158 data of discourse deixis. Understanding deixis, especially while reading works like novels, is a means to understanding the plot as well as the characters portrayed and to reduce the amount of ambiguity. Moreover, using the proper deictic words will help foreign language learners, such as English non-native students, in their efforts to produce effective communication, whether in spoken or written forms.

Abstract

Reading has long been one of the most crucial skills individuals should master to function effectively in society. Due to the revolutionary penetration of information and communication technology (ICT) into almost all aspects of human life, reading has transformed from paper-based to screen-based. Thus, facilitating students to cultivate digital reading should be one of the educational priorities. This study aims at exploring the digital reading habits of students majoring in English as a foreign language (EFL) in Indonesian context. Employing a mixed-methods design, quantitative and qualitative data were collected using an online questionnaire including close-ended and open-ended questions from 79 students of the English Language Education Study Program of Universitas Kristen Indonesia, Jakarta. The results show that a majority of the participants prefer to read in English in digital reading mode due to several reasons. Their most favorable tool for reading is smartphones. Additionally, a majority of them prefer to read at home as far as they have good access to the internet. Finally, based on the analysis of the motivational and de-motivational factors of reading, the participants’ preference towards digital reading has a stronger motivational foundation than print reading.

Abstract

Education plays a significant role in maintaining or deconstructing patriarchal gender constructions in society. Within this ambivalent arena, this study aimed to analyze the representation of gender constructions in a textbook for grade 12 Indonesian EFL students published by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Indonesia in 2018. The textual analysis proposed by McKee is used to analyze the data. Language functions attributed to the two genders are used as the parameters to find their feminine or masculine depiction based on Lakoff (1973) and Coates (2013) combined with Millet’s Sexual Politics. The study revealed that the textbook shows gender deconstructions towards language functions used in female-only, male-only and mixed sex dialogues. The deconstruction of the stereotypes can be seen from the presence of feminine traits in male characters, such as asking for information and producing more phatic and expressive utterances than females. In contrast, female characters are depicted to be dominantly produced masculine traits, such as being knowledgeable by giving more information than men and dominating in conversations. Although, at some points, the characters are still associated with stereotyped gender traits, the efforts to deconstruct traditional images of both genders need to be appreciated even though they still seem ambivalent.
