Abstract

The need for education is increasing and getting more complex along the time for it is a crucial need to prepare better human resources. Currently, higher education is attended by adult learners who are not only study but also work in the industry since the competition in the workplace is getting harder in this globalization era which implicitly requires English proficiency of the workers. Those who work while study must have a motivation either intrinsic or extrinsic to pursue higher education. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effect of academic motivation on RPL program students’ English proficiency test score. This study employed a descriptive quantitative method involving 27 RPL program students majoring in Pharmacy. Data obtained from the Academic Motivation Scale and students’ TOEIC scores were analyzed quantitatively using simple linear regression technique with the help of SPSS 22.0. This study found that even though the data were normal and linear, academic motivation had no effect on the students’ English proficiency test scores. This might happen because there are way more complex factors that influence academic achievement or academic performance in the results of English proficiency test.

Abstract

The issue of plagiarism and students' writing difficulties appeared to be a difficulty for teachers, so the existence of paraphrasing is a means to prevent plagiarizing. The objective of this study is to describe manual paraphrasing for students in paraphrasing or rewriting English writing. This research is descriptive qualitative. The analysis shows that manual paraphrasing is the activity of rewriting a text into another form manually without the help of online tools. In teaching paraphrasing manually, ten several strategies can be used by students, including using synonyms, changing the word form, changing active or passive sentences, changing transitions/connectors, changing/rearranging the order of ideas, changing or modifying text structure, simplifying or summarizing sentence, changing the double negative into a positive form, adding quotation marks for important points, and combining paraphrasing techniques. Students need to combine these strategies by applying more than two strategies than a single paraphraseIn manual paraphrasing, students must carefully study the source material, comprehend its meaning, attempt to explain it, and then rewrite it using their words while preserving the same meaning. Manual paraphrasing requires more effort and takes time than using automated tools, but the results may be better than expected.

The teaching of English has some challenges, especially in primary school. The primary students do not speak English as their mother language, therefore it is quite difficult for them to acquire English fluently. Additionally, English in Indonesia is a foreign language that the children do not use in their daily life, particularly in rural areas. The preliminary study found that the primary students’ English score was under the minimum passing criteria which was 68, there was only thirty-four percent (34%) of students can achieve it. Thus, the use of teaching techniques was implemented to help the children to acquire better English. The purpose of this study was to examine how a snowball-throwing teaching method and youtube may be used to improve the vocabulary understanding of fifth graders. This study used collaborative classroom action research (CCAR). The results showed that the snowball throwing method and youtube can help students improve their vocabulary knowledge. Vocabulary tests got an average score of 93.6, with ninety-eight percent (98 percent) of students reach with the criteria. They were enthusiastic about utilizing this method to learn English.

Abstract

To face 21st-century challenges, the elements involved in the pedagogical approach, such as textbooks, must enable students to enhance their higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). This qualitative research aims to determine to what extent HOTS is incorporated in an Indonesian EFL textbook. The comprehension questions of reading texts in the textbook for 7th grade were analyzed through content analysis based on the six cognitive domains in the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001). The findings of the study revealed: (1) 80,4% of the reading comprehension questions classified as lower-order thinking skills (LOTS), particularly level 1 (remember) and level 2 (understanding), whereas 19,6% of the questions classified as higher-level thinking skills, primarily the level 4 (analyze) and level 5 (evaluate). (2) The reading comprehension check questions were organized systematically from lower-thinking to higher-thinking skills, which develops students’ comprehension and provides instructional organization for teaching texts to English teachers. This study is expected to benefit English teachers, textbook authors, and future researchers to elaborate on implementing HOTS in English language teaching and learning.

Abstract

Translating Cultural-Specific Items (CSIs) could present numerous challenges for translators because each culture communicates differently. Experts have given some approaches to the issue of translating culturally distinctive objects. The researchers used Aixela's (1996) theory for translation technique and Newmark's (1998) theory for analysis and categorization in relation to CSI. The purpose of this qualitative study is to analyze the translation strategies used for cultural-specific items in the translation of the Indonesian documentary "Perempuan Tana Humba" by Lasja F. Susatyo and Mandy Marahimin. The researcher utilized thematic analysis to analyze the CSIs occurring in the documentary. The research concluded that out of five types of CSI proposed by Newmark, only three types of CSIs were found: material culture, social organization, and social culture. In addition, the most frequently used strategy was repetition. This study also showed that the translation strategy for the CSI was determined by the translator's concerns or considerations, such as the occasions in which the translators applied different strategies when the previously mentioned CSIs appeared again in different point of the documentary. It was noticed that various timestamps led to different translation techniques. The study is significant for the practice of translation. The research's findings, which categorize and identify the translation procedures used to translate the CSIs, may be taken into account by translation researchers as well as by present and future translators. Additionally, this study might help to clarify how to use translation procedures and what kinds of CSIs to translate for documentaries.

Abstract

There is rarely any radio station that do not present programme on sports in the contemporary age. Most radio stations have their sports analysis in the various languages that their prospective listeners understand. It is possible because the issue of sports had become inevitable to the people irrespective of age, colour, and gender. It has become a unifying force among people of varied background. This, therefore, necessitated linguistic investigation into the grammatical properties utilized by sports analysts in their presentations on the radio. The study examines the occurrence of each grammatical property in enhancing cohesion in the presentations made by sports presenters on the radio stations. These grammatical devices include: reference, substitution, ellipsis, and conjunction. Ferdinand Saussures Model of Language Structure on Syntagmatic Relation was utilized as the theoretical framework for the study. The data for analysis in the study comprised thirty sports presentations that were recorded and afterwards transcribed to examine the manifestations of the grammatical devices. The results from the analyses show that personal reference is the most prominent of all the types of reference. Nominal substitution and nominal ellipsis are the most recurrent of the types of substitution and ellipsis respectively. The striking manifestations of coordinating, subordinating, and additive conjuncts dominate the types of conjunction employed by the sports analysts on the radio. The study suggests that radio analysts should continually undergo programmes that will enhance their grammatical competence and as well see language as a weapon for expressing content and meaning by practically influencing their listener. Key Words: Conjunction, Discourse, Ellipsis, Grammatical Cohesion, Reference, Substitution,
