Abstract

Writing a thesis in English is challenging for students, especially Indonesian Master's students for whom English is not their first language. Inherently, each chapter presents challenges to address when organizing a thesis. One of the crucial parts of the thesis is the conclusion chapter. It serves as a summary and a place to express suggestions and potential lines for further study. Thus, this study examined how Indonesian students wrote conclusion chapters of TEFL Master's theses. A total corpus of 3897 words was generated as the present study's data. Based on Chen & Kuo (2012) as the analytical framework of the present study, we found that move 2 step 1 (summarizing the study) was frequently used. Both move 1 (introducing the conclusion) and move 3 (evaluating) are obligatory. We also found optional moves and steps providing supporting and complementary roles: Move 4, step 2, and Move 3, step 1. These findings indicate that Indonesian master's students in the TEFL program used the conclusion writing of genre-based method characterized by the ability to adapt to conventional genre-framework and add additional steps. Understanding and using these variations can help Indonesian students craft concluding chapters that demonstrate scholarly engagement and the academic rigor of their study.

Abstract

Vocabulary is crucial for effective communication, especially in the global context where English is an essential international language. However, English proficiency at one of the state junior high schools in Perak Jombang, East Java, remains low. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of the Scrabble game in improving vocabulary mastery in class VII-I in one of the state junior high schools at Perak Jombang, East Java. This research used a pre-experimental design with a sample of twenty-five students. Data collection included pre-test and post-test assessments, analyzed using the Sample Paired t-test formula with a significance level of 0.05 (α=5%). The results revealed a two-tailed significance value (sig.) of 0.000, which is less than 0.05. ttable calculation at significance alpha= 5% is 2.063 while the tcount 4.203 (tcount > ttable). This indicates that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. These findings demonstrate that the Scrabble game effectively enhances students' vocabulary mastery. It is hoped that this research can serve as a reference for other researchers to explore using Scrabble to improve vocabulary among junior high school students.

Understanding the types of questions on the IELTS is crucial for students to prepare for the test. However, the test requires precise abilities for success. Teachers can create lesson plans for teaching Reading IELTS to help students prepare for the test and prepare them for the test. To answer IELTS Reading questions, students need fast and accurate reading skills and the right strategy. Teaching reading skills for the IELTS test can be challenging, but several strategies can help teachers structure effective teaching.

This article investigates the translation of English biological terms into Indonesian in a high school textbook. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach, it examines translation techniques, drawing on Molina and Albir's framework. Data collection methods include content analysis. The study identifies four translation techniques: pure borrowing, literal, borrowing, and amplification. Pure borrowing is the most common technique used. The discussion emphasizes the importance of balancing linguistic accuracy and cultural relevance. The research contributes to understanding translation strategies in cross-cultural communication, aligning with Molina and Albir's framework. Overall, it sheds light on translators' choices in conveying biological concepts in bilingual education.

Abstract

Bangka Island has several kinds of tourist attractions, such as natural tourism, historical tourism, cultural tourism and artificial tourism. The names of tourist attractions on Bangka Island still follow the names of the areas where the tourist attractions are located. Unfortunately, many local residents do not acknowledge the origins and meanings of the names of these tourist attractions. There is a need for an in-depth study regarding the naming of tourist attractions on Bangka Island to increase public awareness and the body of knowledge that needs to be preserved to increase tourism potential on Bangka Island. Research on the toponymy of tourist attractions on the island of Bangka uses ethnosemantic methods, and the results are described qualitatively. Ten tourist attractions were selected by random sampling based on the availability of information in the community. From the results of this research, it can be concluded that the names of tourist attractions on Bangka Island consist of three aspects, namely the linguistic aspect, both generic and specific, and the historical aspect of the formation and dynamics of society in the area.

Abstract

This study aims to determine how seriously students participate in learning Indonesian synchronously and asynchronously through digital lecture media, namely the Learning Management System (LMS). In addition, the researcher wanted to know how far the content quality of their writing was when they were given the task of writing a text and what factors influenced the cause of the quality level of their language skills. The methods used in this research are direct observation and questionnaires. The study results show that students are more enthusiastic when lectures are synchronous rather than asynchronous because they can listen directly to the explanations. In addition, the online media activities they engage in outside of class significantly impact the quality and quantity of their written content. Their activities usually include watching films, playing online games, and using social media.

Abstract

Phrasal verbs pose challenges for interpretation due to unpredictable meanings. This study examined how image schemas aid comprehension from linguistic and philosophical viewpoints. A literature review methodology integrated insights from cognitive linguistics, philosophy of language, and related fields to provide a comprehensive understanding. Linguistically, image schemas offer a cognitive framework for processing phrasal verbs by mapping meanings to embodied experiences. Philosophically, schemas reflect how language emerges from and shapes conceptualization. Comparative analysis showed linguistics emphasizes schemas' mental role in comprehension, while philosophy explores their existential significance. Results identified schemas like CONTAINER and PATH that extend metaphorically from physical interactions to abstract phrasal verb meanings. Linguistically, schemas provide a framework for analyzing structures and meanings. Philosophically, schemas reflect language's emergence from embodiment and influence on thought. Teaching implications were to connect phrasal verbs to familiar embodied experiences through schemas. Theoretical implications were that schemas are fundamental to thought and linguistic expressions. By synthesizing perspectives, this study enhanced understanding of the intricate cognitive mechanisms linking schemas to phrasal verbs. It highlighted implications for language education and advances in interdisciplinary inquiry into embodied cognition and communication.
