Abstract

This research aims to analyze the conjunctions in the M3GAN movie. The researchers wanted to investigate and analyze the application of conjunctions and the dominant types of conjunctions in M3GAN movies. Researchers used qualitative descriptive methods. Researchers collected data by watching M3GAN movies, paying attention to the subordinating conjunctions, then writing down the data in notes. Based on the research results, researchers found 115 data that used subordinate conjunctions in the M3GAN movie. The percentage of use of subordinate conjunctions from the M3GAN movie can be seen based on the types of subordinate conjunctions, namely there are 0.8% comparison conjunction data, 19% cause conjunction data, 74.7% apposition conjunction data, 5.1% time conjunction data, and 0% contrast conjunction data. The total states that the apposition conjunction is the highest score for the use of subordinate conjunctions in the M3GAN movie and the lowest score is the contrast conjunction.

Abstract

This research analyzes the errors in students' pronunciation when students read a paragraph aloud. Data was obtained from research on 15 class XI students of SMK Swadaya Semarang. They were taken using a simple random sampling method. The data collection technique is that students record their voices while reading, which the researcher then transcribes the recording into phonetics to analyze errors. The results of the research show that most students replace sounds that are not found in Indonesian and replacing English vowels with Indonesian vowels. Students are familiar with the following phoneme similarities: /i/ as /i:/, /i/ and /e/ as /ae/ , /ʌ/ as /ɑː/, /ə/ as /ɜː/, /ɒ / as / ɔː/, /e/ as /æ/, and /u/ as /ʊ/, /u:/. Thus, it seems that there are still many students who still have difficulty pronouncing English words correctly because their tongues are not yet used to vowels other than the vowels in their mother tongue.

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the impact of utilizing the social interactive writing for English language learners (SWELL) approach on EFL learners' writing skills, especially in writing analytical exposition text. This research was conducted during the academic year 2022/23 at SMK PAB 2 Helvetia Medan. This quantitative research was conducted using an experimental research design. The subjects of the research were 44 eleventh-grades students from SMK PAB 2 Helvetia Medan who were selected using a total sampling technique and then divided into two groups. The data were acquired using a pre-test and a post-test, and then analyzed using the t-test formula in the SPSS version 22 program. The difference between the post-test mean scores of the control and experimental groups was 77.57 and 84.40. The findings of this study indicate that the SWELL method is more effective than the Teacher-Centered method in improving students' writing abilities in exposition texts at SMK PAB 2 Helvetia, where the SWELL method was implemented.

Abstract

Feedback is crucial for facilitating student learning and growth. Recognizing the significance of effective feedback provision, this study aimed to elucidate the types and aspects of feedback from teachers crucial for enhancing student writing proficiency. The study centers on analyzing teachers' written feedback provided on student writing exemplars sourced from the New Zealand Curriculum. Employing content analysis methodology, the researchers investigated the feedback types employed by teachers to improve student writing skills. The findings revealed a varied distribution of feedback types he results of the study on writing exemplars at different levels indicate that feedback is given both directly and indirectly, with a focus on form in the lower levels of writing and a shift towards a focus on content in the higher levels. The feedback is fairly balanced between direct and indirect, with a higher percentage of indirect feedback. In the lower levels, form-focused feedback dominates, while in the higher levels, content-focused feedback becomes more prominent. This suggests a progression in the emphasis on content as writing skills develop. It suggests that indirect feedback is particularly conducive to enhancing writing proficiency among advanced students, empowering them to independently rectify errors. By uncovering the subtle interaction between different feedback approaches and the proficiency levels of student writers, our study provides meaningful perspectives for teachers aiming to enhance feedback strategies.
