Abstract

The discourse of interpersonal communication in social media group contains of turn adjacency and simultaneous feedback of communication. Especially in WhatsApp group, the model of communication constructs a discourse by using a certain ideological mode through linguistic features. The communication model in the WhatsApp group involves participants directly, so that it is analyzed through mental and cognition with the semantic aspects that participants use. This study aims to reveal the contention of meaning in WhatsApp group by using cognitive semantic analysis. Cognitive semantic analysis is used to examine social cognition that affects contention of meaning among participants in the group. Contention of meaning in WhatsApp group communication is analyzed in three aspects; (1) the underlying social cognition, (2) the scheme of meaning in the group, and (3) the effects of the interaction scheme. The identification of semantic elements in interpersonal communication is based on microstructure analysis of van Dijk’s model i.e., linguistic features, such as background, coherence, detail, lexicon, pronominal, and graphic elements. Based on the research findings, the dominant aspect of social cognition that underlying participants in WhatsApp group communication are knowledges, attitudes, opinions, and concerns of the group members. The contention scheme of meaning in groups produces a discourse interaction model that tends to overlap and be structured. Effects that arose from the contention of meaning is ideological dominative groups and spread of knowledge on the topic of debate on all members of the group. This study reinforces the necessity of ideological construction through the contention of meaning in cognitive semantic studies and critical discourse especially in computer-mediated discourse analysis.

Abstract

The reading process, especially in reading English texts, is a matter of extracting information from the text and a knowledge-sharing dialogue activity between readers and writers. Students admit that it is not easy to distinguish different texts that they must understand. In many cases, students often have difficulty understanding the content of the text and the context due to a lack of vocabulary and grammar. The lecturer then tried to apply several reading strategies to overcome these problems. One of them is by using the scaffolding method to help students. Then, the emergence of technology and digital sources increases the challenges of addressing the problems. Therefore, this study involved 139 students of the Multimedia Engineering Technology Study Program at the State Polytechnic of Creative Media, where the text used is mainly digital. After applying the scaffolding method, this research method uses a qualitative descriptive method describing the impact of changes on students' digital reading skills. The study carried out six types of scaffolding at three reading steps using the scaffolding method to improve students' digital text reading skills, especially students of the Multimedia Engineering Technology Study Program, which mainly use the digital text. The study results show that study result scaffolding techniques highly contribute to enhance students’ reading skills. By applying the scaffolding technique, students are able to overcome the difficulties experienced by students and get scores above the passing grade, in an average of 85, which is 20 points higher before applying such scaffolding methods in the reading activity. In addition to this, most students showed positive responses to the increasing skills and comprehension of reading the digital text through the application of the scaffolding method.

This research is quasi-experimental research using the “Posttest-Only Control Group Design” design. The population in this study were all students of class II SDN in Makassar City, which consisted of 314 schools with a total of 13,188 students. Sampling used the solving formula and proportional random sampling technique so that the research sample was obtained, namely class IIA1 SD Rappocini Makassar as a control class with a total of 30 students and class IIA2 SD BTN Makassar local government as an experimental class with a total of 30 students. The data obtained were analyzed with descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The results of descriptive statistical analysis show that the students' initial reading ability using the Structural Analytical Synthetic (SAS) method the average value obtained is 81.90, with a maximum value of 100 and a minimum of 68.33 and these results are in very good category, while Student learning outcomes using conventional methods the average value obtained is 55. 61, with a maximum value of 80 and a minimum of 47.5, and these results are in the medium category. The results of inferential statistical testing with Independent Samples T-Test obtained a significance value of p = 0.001 < = 0.05. This means that H0 is rejected and HI is accepted, thus the application of the Structural Analytical Synthetic (SAS) method has an effect on the early reading ability of SDN students in Makassar City.

Abstract

Studies on the rhetorical structure and linguistic features of research article published in reputable international journals, and a genre-based approach to teaching writing have received considerable attention from scholars in the last decade. However, little research has been conducted on writing RA abstracts based on the standard of international journals by combining the genre-based approach and mentoring process. Therefore, this study intends to address such a gap by applying the genre-based mentoring method to help improve the rhetorical moves and tenses usage of RA abstract drafts written by lecturers in social and humanities in Bengkulu. The participants of this study consisted of 20 lecturers. This study used the frameworks of Swales and Feak (2009) for move structures and Swales and Feak (2012) for tenses usage. These framework were used to evaluate the RA abstract drafts of the participants. The findings confirm that the quality of RA abstract drafts showed a better improvement viewed from the frequency of the rhetorical moves and the use of appropriate tense. It indicates that the RA abstract drafts of the participant have complied with the structure of international journals in terms of rhetorical moves and the use of appropriate tenses. Moreover, genre-based mentoring is effectively used in teaching academic
