Corrective Feedback Recast Uses in Students’ Uptake in Past Form Expressions Theresia Arianti; Dery Rovino
Journal of English Language and Culture Vol 10, No 1 (2019): Journal of English Language and Culture
Publisher : Universitas Bunda Mulia

Research studies have shown that recasts are one of the types of corrective feedback frequently used by teachers in second language teaching. However, little is known about the effectiveness of recasts in second language teaching within Indonesian context since most Interactional Approach studies conducted with Indonesian context focus on corrective feedback in general, not particularly on recasts. Moreover, most of these studies do not include past forms as the language feature being studied. The current study investigated the use of recasts in yielding students’ uptake in past forms (Verb type II). 5 participants were involved in the study. Pairing with the examiner, each participant engaged in a jigsaw-task activity where they received recasts. The recast episodes produced by each participant were analyzed and coded into some categories, which were “repair”, “needs-repair : acknowledgement”, “needs-repair : modified”, “needs-repair : unmodified”, and “no uptake”. The result showed that the uptake which was mostly produced by participants was “needs-repair : acknowledgement”. This finding contradicts the one in the previous study which showed that the uptake that was most frequently produced by the participants was “repair”. The finding of this study is expected to trigger further studies to examine students’ perception towards recasts that leads to the ineffectiveness of it.Keywords: corrective feedback; recast; past forms; speaking skills

The speech act of request is a common speech act used in every day interactions. However, because of its nature to impose on other people, it is very important that people select the appropriate strategy in making requests. There are several factors that may influence the production of requests, one of them is the gender of the speaker. This study is an attempt investigate how Indonesian male and female learners of English make English requests.To collect the data, a questionnaire in the form of a Discourse Completion Test (DCT) is distributed to the respondents. The DCT consists of six scenarios that reflect different social situations, each with different combinations of close / distant social distance, and high / equal / low power between the interlocutors. From this, the respondents are to produce requests based on the different social situations presented in each of the scenarios. The DCT is distributed to students of the English Language and Culture Department at Bunda Mulia University. The total number of respondents is 70 people, which consists of 35 males and 35 females.The findings of the study reveal that both gender groups employ similar request strategies and modifications throughout the six scenarios, with only slight differences. First of all, the most frequently used request strategy is the query preparatory. This strategy, modified by questions and modals, is the preferred strategy for both male and female students. Additionally, in terms of modifiers, the most preferred downgraders for both gender groups are politeness markers please and supportive reasons. From these request strategies and modifications, it can be said that the females are more indirect than the males in their production of requests. Keywords: Request, gender, directness

The development of television and film industry in a global context requires film and television industry to be able to present the shows that can be enjoyed by the general public without any restrictions. This phenomenon essentially underlies the emergence of community needs for audiovisual translation (layman terms: the subtitle). The industrialized world utilize audioviual translation in order to visualize verbal messages in other languages so that it can be understood. However, any progress in the field of audiovisual is not coupled with accessibility for all individuals. Providers of text or audio in existing programs, so far, have not fully considered deaf people or those with hearing impaired (deaf or hearing impaired/DH). In line with that, a set of standard is required to meet the needs of the DH. Referring to the high demand for audiovisual translation and the view on the audiovisual translation which has not yet met the needs of the DH, This research is fundamentally directed to create audiovisual translation standards which is appropriate for all audiences specifically for the DH. This study is a qualitative study using library research approach. Therefore, the analysis is directed at the analysis of the current product and its shortcomings. To be able to meet the demand for audiovisual translation standards, researchers will undertake a number of steps that includes product analysis research and product development. This study is expected to be the basis for making an audiovisual translation quality products which can be enjoyed by all audiences.Keywords: Audiovisual translation, deaf or hearing impaired, research and development

Journal of English Language and Culture Vol 4, No 1 (2014): Journal of English Language and Culture
Publisher : Universitas Bunda Mulia

One of the objectives of communicative approach is language learners are able to reach communicative competence. The term was first introduced by Dell Hymes in terms of the “appropriateness of sociocultural significance of utterance”. It was later on developed by Canale and Swain (1980, 1983) into four areas of competence: grammatical competence, sociolinguistic competence, discourse competence, and strategic competence. In general, the emphasis of communicative competence is language learners can use the language they learn appropriately. Appropriately in this context refers to all aspects of language, including its culture. Thus, not only should English language learners be knowledgeable of how to speak and write English accurately, but they should also be able to understand its culture so that there will not be understanding when communicating with native speakers of English. Taking this concept into account, the primary objective of this research is to examine the implementation of communicative competence in English classes, particularly the one dealing with cultural competence. The subjects of the research are English teachers who teach General English and English Conversation classes. Their responses to the questions regarding the inclusion and the implementation of cultural competence or components in their classes and in the materials used in teaching-learning sessions are discussed in this study.Keywords: communicative competence and cultural competence

Afterwards, the researcher used type-token ratio (TTR) as the method in measuring the lexical richness as a part of data analysis. The closer the TTR score to 1, the higher the lexical richness is. However, the result shows that the students’ lexical richness is quite low since none of the students achieved even 0.5.Keywords: lexical richness, type-token ratio (TTR), undergraduate theses
