Abstract

A good speech is a speech that is easily understood by the audience. To achieve it, cohesion should be built among the clauses in the speech. This study aims to analyze the realization of theme and thematic progression in the speeches of senior high school students at the Erlangga English Speech Contest 2021. A systemic functional discourse analysis approach was employed by focusing on textual metafunction. A YouTube video entitled ‘National Grand Final Erlangga English Speech Contest 2021 Senior High School’ became the research data. The video was transcribed into written form. Four speeches were randomly chosen and labeled SHS 1, SHS 2, SHS 3, and SHS 4. The result showed that all themes were realized in the speeches. Topical and textual themes became the dominant theme. In terms of thematic development, constant theme, and multiple/ split rhyme were freely realized. This indicates that the speakers can build cohesion among the clauses. However, empty themes and failed thematic progression were still found in the speeches.

Abstract

Although many studies have attempted to explore the viability of Facebook for educational purposes, little attention has been paid to the employment of Facebook as a platform for e-portfolio assessment in reading classes for vocational high school students. To fill this void, this case study aimed to design, enact, and evaluate a Facebook-based e-portfolio assessment. This study adopted Lam’s (2013) logistics of the portfolio process. The data was obtained from the researcher’s and participants’ documents, observations, and interviews. Then, thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data qualitatively. The findings revealed that the instructional design for this e-portfolio assessment made the participants enjoy the learning process and promote literacy activities. The design scaffolded and engaged participants with technological activities, while the enactment process promoted active learning. The evaluation promoted self-directed learning as the participants could revise their works and choose which works to be assessed. The implications of the study and future directions were also discussed.

Similarly, the analysis of exam scores indicated that students in the flipped learning group outperformed their peers in the traditional teaching group, with a small to medium effect size (d=0.35). The thematic analysis of the interview data revealed that contextual factors such as course content, student characteristics, and instructional strategies play a significant role in the effectiveness of flipped learning. The findings suggest that flipped learning is a functional approach to enhancing student engagement and academic performance. The results of this study provide empirical evidence for the benefits of flipped learning and support its implementation in various educational contexts. This study's findings exposed that English lecturers can use flipped learning as an effective instructional strategy to enhance student engagement and academic performance. The study emphasizes the need for English lecturers to consider contextual factors when designing and implementing flipped learning activities to optimize their effectiveness.

Abstract

The rise of game-based learning in English language teaching signifies a shift towards more engaging and interactive methods. Genshin Impact is a game that can be used as an alternative media to improve students' English skills, specifically reading, through its interactive gameplay. The game's requirement to understand characters' dialogues is valuable for developing reading skills. This research investigates whether games, particularly Genshin Impact, can enhance students' reading skills by assessing how much this game positively impacts students' reading abilities. The qualitative method is used with interviews as the instrument in data collection to ensure a more in-depth understanding of the obtained data. The research was conducted on ten UHAMKA students from various departments and semesters. Of the ten students who participated in the study, most saw Genshin Impact as a language learning tool that enhanced their English language skills with a focus on reading. However, not all respondents reported reading improvements. However, as participants played more Genshin Impact, there was a positive correlation between increased playtime and the levels of improvement in English language skills of the participants. Participants learned further aspects of English, vocabulary development, contextual understanding, and reading proficiency by playing Genshin Impact.

Abstract

This study aims to find the representation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict presented in Al-Jazeera News and BBC News. The data for this study were words and sentences that represent how Al Jazeera News and BBC News reported the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The data are examined using Fairclough's three-dimensional model. The findings of this study showed that Al Jazeera and BBC News represent the Israeli-Palestinian conflict differently. BBC News represented Hamas as the main actor in the October 7 attacks in Israel and Israeli citizens and soldiers are depicted as victims. Al Jazeera, on the other hand, depicted Hamas as the party responding to Israel's conspiracy against Palestinians, emphasizing a moral commitment to avoid civilian harm and blaming Israeli soldiers and police for civilian casualties.

Abstract

This research investigated the translation strategies used to translate Indonesian food menus into English at 5-star hotel restaurants in Bali. It also explored the use of cultural-specific items (CSIs) in these translations. The study employed a qualitative research method, gathering data from the official websites of six different 5-star restaurants in Bali. The primary theoretical framework was Beekman and Callow's "Lexical Equivalence When Things or Events Are Unknown in the Receptor Language" (1974). Additionally, Tang Yingmin's (1981) theory on Cultural-Specific Items (CSIs) was applied to identify and categorize the types of CSIs found in the translations. The findings indicated that the most frequently used translation approach was Equivalence by Modifying a Generic Word, followed by Equivalence by Cultural Substitution and Equivalence by Using a Loan Word. Among the CSIs, ingredients were the most commonly represented category, accounting for 35% of the total. Furthermore, the data revealed that translators not only translated the names of main dishes but also provided additional details about side dishes.
