Abstract

The objective of this research was to find out the influence of explicit technique in teaching writing to the students whose learning preference is sociological learning style. This research was a pre-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test conducted at English Education Department of UIN (Universitas Islam Negeri) Alauddin with 30 students as respondents. They were divided into two groups: individual sociological learning style (ISLS) and group sociological learning style (GSLS). The data were collected through an essay test and Sociological Learning Styles Inventory. The results of students’ essay tests were analyzed by using SPSS version 20. The data analysis and interpretation indicated: 1) there was a significant difference for students whose learning preference ISLS before and after treatment. 2) there was a significant difference for students whose learning preference GSLS before and after treatment. 3). there was a significant difference for students whose learning preference between ISLS and GSLS before and after treatment. In conclusion, there is no significant difference between students whose learning preference ISLS and ISLS before and after treatment. Sociological learning style does not have any influence on students’ achievement score in teaching writing by using explicit technique. The achievement gained was probably caused by the treatment by using explicit technique. In the end, explicit technique can increase students’ writing ability for both ISLS and GSLS students.

Abstract

It is widely assumed that constructing negation in an L2 is often quite affected by the syntactic features of the speakers’ mother tongue. This study, therefore, set out to assess the English negation construction, particularly in the context of Indonesian learners of English in Sulawesi-Barat. Data for this study were collected using an interview to investigate the pattern of negation construction and the L1 influences related to the construction. For the purpose of analysis, the data transcription was carried out on the completion of the interview and segmented into AS-Unit. Results suggest that the participants mostly constructed negation in the form of auxiliary + not + phrase in their second language. The second major finding was that there are transfers from the students’ L1 in constructing negation in their L2. The example of English negation which might be not representative enough makes an overall conclusion about English negation construction extremely difficult.

Abstract

By replicating Feng (2019) with some modifications, this study aimed to identify the acquisition pattern of two kinds of English definiteness, anaphoric and non-anaphoric. Being a language without article system, Mandarin Chinese employed demonstrative determiners to function as definite article and shared the same features as English definite article “the”. In the current study, the participants were 3 L1-Chinese and 3 L1-Indonesian L2-English learners, who engaged in an Acceptability Judgement Task (AJT) and a post-task interview. Align with Feng’s finding, this study revealed that Chinese participants encountered less difficulties than their Indonesian counterparts in the use of ‘the’, as a possible result of L1 transfer; and that Chinese participants underperformed in bridging conditions, indicating the challenge of presupposition at the semantics-pragmatics interface.

Abstract

The research aimed to find out whether journal writings developed students’ writing skill. The method employed in this research was a pre-experimental design, where a pretest, a treatment and a posttest were given to measure students’ writing skill. The instrument of this research was writing tests which consisted of two guided themes. The population of this research was the ninth-year students of SMP Negeri 18 Makassar in academic year of 2017/2018. The total sample of this research consisted of thirty students. A cluster random sampling technique was used. The data collected was analyzed through descriptive statistical analysis. The results of the paired-sample t-test of this research indicated that there was a slight development of the students’ posttest scores after applying journals in their assignments within six meetings. The students mentioned that the interesting themes made them excited to write. In writing the personal narrative, the students were trained to find the stories they think are best for sharing with others. Therefore, the data analysis tended to show the relation between journal writings and the students’ skill in writing. However, not all students can be easily encouraged to write.

Abstract

The interest in learner identity within the field of second and foreign language acquisition has been garnering increased attention. This increase can be understood due to the shift from the dominance of psycholinguistic approach to a greater demand for including socio-anthropological dimensions in the field of second language acquisition (SLA). In SLA, the relationship between learner identity and language learning can provide the field with a more comprehensive theory on the link between learners and the larger social world and how it can accommodate the learner’s language learning. Accordingly, this paper looks for how language learner identity is constructed through language learning and how it can eventually benefit the practice of language teaching and learning.

Abstract

It is crucial for the teacher to motivate the pupils in the classroom because doing so could set the stage for their further learning. Generally, teachers often run out of ideas to motivate students and distress them to find authentic material to make the teaching process more interesting. This research centralized the explanation on literature, specifically the Laskar Pelangi Novel. The data were collected qualitatively using the discourse analysis approach by read and considering the illocution aspects of Searle in the novel. The data analysis passed through 12 extracts and had been elaborated by related theories. The result of this research found many kinds of motivational illocution in the novel, consisting of assertions formed in motivational boast, directives in advice, command, threat, and recommend form, expressives such as worrying, praising, confirming, and welcoming sentence sequences, and declaration form, which is composed of resigning and naming. Further results intended to convey motivational illocution by Bu Muslimah's character in the novel showed discourse analysis results in order to influence teachers in the general classroom according to the character. The advantage of this research is that it teaches speech act in a motivational way by using a novel storyline to create an uncommon atmosphere in the classroom. Furthermore, this is an important contribution for the teacher as authentic material from literature source which is not only useful in entertainment but also in general classroom learning. Therefore, teachers can teach speech act or sentence analysis by Laskar Pelangi and also take some storylines as examples to prove that teachers are not only to teach but also to motivate. Keywords: Motivational Illocution; authentic material; speech act; assertive; expressive; directives; declaration; novel; education

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the effects of planning (pre-task planning (PTP) and on-line planning (OLP)) on the complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) of Indonesian EFL learners’ Descriptive writing. This research involved two undergraduate students whose first language (L1) is Bahasa and English as their second language (L2), majoring at Meteorology in ITB (Bandung Institute of Technology), aged 21 and 25 years old. Their language proficiency level was considered to be upper-intermediate as their TOEFL-PBT scores were above 450. The data were obtained through Descriptive writing tasks and a semi-structured interview through a third party, and they were analyzed using the measured linguistics features. The study revealed that factors such as the age of acquisition of the target language, strategy preferences/planning format (PTP or OLP), along with the time limit and word count affected the participants’ Descriptive text writing performances. This work also showed that both planning formats could assist the participants to produce relatively high-quality texts as participant A seemed to benefit from the pre-writing task because her writing performance was better in the PTP condition than OLP one while participant B appeared to benefit from the OLP format as it allowed her to modify/revise her work freely without time constraint.
