Abstract

Religious values are needed in textbooks and learning process, such as in English Language Teaching (henceforth ELT) for both the student and teachers to support character education as suggested by the government of Indonesia. Indonesian people have more than one believes or religion and the most dominant one is Islam. This is important because Islamic characters can be an alternative media for students and teachers in the teaching and learning processes. There were three grades of English textbooks chosen in this investigation. The results showed that there are three aspects of religious values: ritual, social and material and the majority found in the textbooks was material aspect. In addition, there are two ways how Islamic characters are represented in the textbooks: visual and non-visual. The second result showed that the dominant value aspect is visual. This implies that English textbooks used by senior high school do not focus on ritual, social and non-visual aspects in developing English textbooks.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine (1) the difficulties students faced in Section 2 of the TOEFL Prediction Test and (2) the reason why they consider those topics were difficult. A mixed method design was used in this study. A total of 30 students from different majors at Pamulang University were the test sample to determine difficulties faced by the students. Semi-structured interviews with the five low-performing participants who recorded the most errors on the test to explore the reasons. Results indicated reduced clause (20%) was the most difficult questions to students, followed by subject-verb agreement (13%), parallel structures (13%), comparisons (13%), pronouns (9%), and coordinating conjunctions (9%). It was also found Part B to be more difficult than Part A because it was harder to spot the mistakes in a sentence than it was to complete the sentence from multiple choices. Additionally, the results also revealed that reasons affecting the difficulties in answering the topics namely lack of knowledge and preparation, time management, and lack of vocabularies. Therefore, TOEFL teachers and trainers are strongly encouraged to pay more attention to the six topic study exercises with the highest error percentage, and to train students with various exercises in order to get used to the actual test.

Abstract

Impoliteness is a social phenomenon practically used to threaten someone’s face and an act of raising a conflict in the interaction. However, impoliteness is unable to reveal under politeness theory since it focuses on the constraint of verbal interaction used to save someone’s face (Mohammed & Abbas, 2015, 2016). Therefore, Culpeper (2016) suggests an impoliteness strategy to emphasize some communicative strategies used to damage the hearer’s face. One of the controversial events occurred in a presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016. This study explored the impoliteness strategy used by the candidates in quantitative and qualitative. This study highlighted the use of positive impoliteness as a defensive communicative strategy and negative impoliteness as an attacking communicative strategy that occurred U.S. Presidential Debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

There are four steps in analyzing the errors, namely identification, description, explanation, and evaluation.  The grammatical errors that appear in the students writing are analyzed  by using  the  Surface Strategy Taxonomy proposed by Dulay;  (1) omission, (2) addition, (3) miss- selection, (4) miss-ordering. The finding showed that the total of errors is 170 items   and  they indicated that the most  errors were   miss- selection  (52.3%) and followed by omission (44.1%), addition (2.3%) and miss-ordering (1.1%). Based on the results, it can be concluded that students still  have grammatical  difficulties in writing recount text. It is hoped it will be beneficial for the parties who involve in educational institution   such as English teachers, lectures, students, and other educational practitioners.  The writer suggests that the students need to learn more intensively about past tense in recount text, especially the change of verb form both in regular and irregular verbs, as well as the use of auxiliary verbs.

Abstract

Language is crucially important in human life. To be part of a community, language is most likely the easiest medium for humans to communicate with one another quickly and functionally. English is the medium of choice for 60% of the world's literacy. It is not an exaggeration to say that once a person has mastered English, he will have access to the entire world. When teaching students to communicate, the teacher should be able to entice them to practice speaking spontaneously. To encourage students to express themselves spontaneously, this study used Information Gap functions. The objectives of this research are to determine and describe whether using Information Gap activities has a significant impact on the students' speaking ability in the first semester of tenth grade at SMA X Lampung in 2022/2023. In this research, the experimental approach has been used, with 2 classifications chosen at random. One class served as the control group, while the other served as the experiment group. T-test was used to compare both classes when analyzing the data. The results of this research indicate that students who were taught using Information Gaps activities performed better in speaking than those who were taught using traditional techniques. It also implies that participating in Information Gap practices has a major impact on students' speaking ability at SMA X Lampung in the first semester of the tenth class in 2022/2023.

Abstract

The practice of translanguaging in Indonesian songs by Indonesian singers is the primary focus of this paper. The objectives of the study are to categorize the types of translanguaging strategies used in songs, analyze how translanguaging is employed, and investigate why Indonesian artists use translanguaging in their songs. Using the qualitative method, this current study presents the translanguaging practice of the selected singer and its song. Weird Genius and Sara Fajira's song "Lathi," Atta Halilintar and Aurel Hermansyah's song "Hari Bahagia," Via Vallen's song "Holiday," Voice of Baceprot's song "School Revolution," and Bondan Prakoso and Fade 2 Black's song "Ya Sudahlah" are among the songs that are used as the sample of this study. The theory of Lucy Tse (1996) is used to identify the type of translanguaging and how to apply trans-languaging itself. Meanwhile, Charlotte Hoffman (1991) is used to examine the reason for using translanguaging. The results of the study showed that the 20 data used the same type of translanguaging, namely code-switching. In addition, this study also found the 20 data applied translanguaging in the same way, namely, using more than one language in one song and switching them from one lyric to another. The writer also found that showing group identity revealed the reason why Indonesian singers used translanguaging in their songs.
