Abstract

Writing in English can be difficult for language learners, including for Indonesian learners. That is why they still make a lot of errors in their writings. There are many studies that have explored errors in students’ writings. However, not many directly compares between male and female students. This study tries to fill the gap by exploring the types of errors made by the male and female students. In total, there are 20 students whose work is used as the data for this research. There are 10 male and 10 female students. The writer analyzes a paragraph they wrote on the topic of “Children should not be given smartphones.” The students are from the second semester from the English Department at Bunda Mulia University. The errors are grouped into grammatical and mechanical errors with more specific subcategories for each. The findings of the research shows that the most frequent error is related to tense and structure, while the least is related to subject-verb agreement. This is for both male and female students. The writer also found that between the male and female students, they made very similar errors. Based on the result, the writer suggests that the teacher pays more attention to the mechanical errors that are frequently made by the students because this kind of error is easier to improve compared to grammatical errors. Students can also use programs like Grammarly to help improve their writing.

Abstract

It is common for a target text in a news translation to have a different format from the source text. These changes allow translators to frame the article to affect the perception of target readers. This paper aims to analyse framing strategy in news translation texts from Indonesian to English by using reports about the Kanjuruhan Stadium Disaster as the sample. The analysis continues to identify which issues are emphasised or understated in the translated articles through framing. This research will use the framing strategy from Mona Baker in news translation texts as the framework to examine the news reports. Previous studies discovered Baker's technique emphasises specific cultural values and understates the opposing. However, this paper concludes that the framing strategy in translating news texts serves an additional purpose. It is to refine the image of the Indonesian government after the tragic event in the eyes of the target readers. Moreover, this research also finds that the selective appropriation strategy is the most commonly used approach for these texts.

Abstract

A lot of efforts go into raising the awareness of environmental issues since a very young age, including through children’s literature. The significance of this effort lies on the fact that children’s literature has always been a channel of representation and a simplified depiction of how society operates for young kids. This study examines two different fictional short stories with a shared theme originated from Bali, Indonesia and the United States entitled Luh Ayu Manik Mas: Pahlawan Lingkungan and “Greta and the Giants,” respectively. In some previous studies, scholars point out the caring nature of women within the relationship between women and nature, but it is bravery that becomes the most highlighted quality in these two stories, hence, “warriors”. The objectives of this research are 1) to describe the character development of the young girls in both short stories and 2) to explain the impact and interaction brought by the main characters towards their surroundings as instigators of change for the environment. In order to achieve these aims, two questions are formulated as follows: 1) How are the main characters developed in both short stories? and 2) How do the young girls portrayed as agent of change for the environment? This study is qualitative in nature which adopts content analysis as the method. The approach that is employed for this study is ecofeminism. Two results are obtained through this study, 1) both main characters undergo similar stages of development, which are: obliviousness, curiosity, willingness to change, and finally instigating a change. 2) Both young girls initiate the move of improving themselves and the environment around them by taking real actions and invite the people around them to do the same.

Abstract

This study analyses English teachers’ strategies in teaching kelas unggulan, focusing on their implementation of various teaching strategies. The findings reveal that teachers use various teaching strategies, such as Direct Instruction, Cooperative Learning, Small Group Work, Problem-Solving, and Role-Play, but do not address the 21st-century teaching-learning approach of inquiry, discovery, critical thinking, communication skills, creativity, and digital literacy. Internal and external inhibiting factors, such as a shortage of training, limited mastery of teaching strategies, lack of professional development, and unfamiliarity with education technology, hinder teachers’ ability to apply these strategies effectively. To overcome these challenges, teachers seek random teaching strategies, participate in training outside of school, and collaborate with teachers who understand education technology. Internal factors include teacher confusion about students’ unreadiness and a lack of pedagogical competence. External factors include students’ lack of English proficiency, which can be addressed through practice time, vocabulary memorization, and repetition. However, these methods are no longer compatible with 21st-century learning requirements. The study suggests that the concept of kelas unggulan should be reconsidered, and a new investment in teacher professional development is urgently needed.

Abstract

Writing in English for university students who use English as their second or foreign language can be challenging. This is not only because of the linguistic aspects that may be different from their first language but also because of the non-linguistic aspects such as the content, knowledge, and structure. For such cases, the involvement of a lecturer in their learning process is essential and this can be done by providing written corrective feedback (WCF) to their writing. In order to investigate the university students’ opinions of written corrective feedback and the types of it that are preferred in their writing classroom, this study hence is conducted to gain a better understanding from the students’ point of view. By implementing mixed-method research, the findings revealed major outcomes. Results showed that students generally felt positive about receiving WCF, as it helped identify errors, progress, and weaknesses. However, they felt that WCF alone was insufficient, and a combination of written corrective feedback and verbal feedback was more beneficial. Moreover, the students prefer direct feedback over indirect feedback to build awareness and knowledge about their writing process. They are impartial towards metalinguistic feedback and prefer correction forms with explanations. Lecturers' writing feedback develops critical thinking and revision strategies, encouraging students to research and read widely. Future studies could include longitudinal studies with teacher and student opinions, class observation, and technological advancements, aiming to stimulate new perspectives on written corrective feedback in EFL classrooms.
