Abstract

The research aims to find out whether the students reading comprehension can be improved through the use of the Communicative Language Teaching(CLT) method. In order to achieve the objectives, the researcher held action research at SMA N 5 Lhokseumawe, from 16- 19th March 2021. There were 2 cycles in which 2 meetings were held for each cycle. The subject of the study is the second year with the numbers of population 32 students. The instruments used were observation sheets, questionnaires, and tests. The result of the study is the problem of motivating students to read. This can be solved by using Communicative Language Teaching(CLT). Based on the questionnaire, all of the students said that the use of the Communicative Language Teaching(CLT) method was interesting. In line with the questionnaire result, the observation sheet also showed excellent results on students’ study habits. There was an improvement in students’ comprehension, it can be seen in cycle 1 which was 89.06 points, and cycle II which was 95.6 points. In this study, I suggest that the teachers should be able to use Communicative Language Teaching(CLT) as an alternative to motivating students learning.

Abstract

Being a language teacher means they are not only fluent in using the target language but also possess competence in the study of language. Hence, linguistic knowledge is one essential skill a language teacher needs to possess. Using a descriptive qualitative research design of the content analysis, this article aimed to investigate the linguistic competence of an English teacher and its implementation in the classroom. The recordings of online classroom sessions of an English for Academic Purposes course were observed. The teacher, as the main object of the study, was also interviewed to enrich understanding through open-ended questions. The collected audio-visual data was then analyzed and categorized based on the linguistic features employed by the teacher. While existing studies focus on the linguistic competence of pre-service teachers, the findings are inclined to negative results. Hence, by investigating the teaching practice of a teacher with 30 years of experience, the findings revealed the descriptions of linguistic features evident in the data and explained how those features helped the teacher in carrying out the teaching and learning session. Subsequently, it is recommended that English teachers increase their language awareness as well as linguistic competence so that they can perform better in meeting the students’ needs in acquiring and improving English language skills.

Abstract

The Ular Market in Medan facilitates buying and selling of antiques, making this place often visited by antique connoisseurs. This study examines the sociolects of antique merchants in the Ular Market, Medan. Sociolect is identical to language variations that are formed due to social factors. The purpose of this study was to describe the forms of sociolects and the factors causing the creation of the language variation of the antique merchants in the Ular Market. In this study, the researcher applied a qualitative study with a descriptive approach. Results showed that sociolects of antique merchants in the Ular Market were formed in three varieties: (1) lexical variations in Medan Malay vocabulary, (2) phonological variations indicated by the clarity of vowels /a/ and /e/ and the shift of the pronunciation of vowel /?/ to vowel /e/, and (3) syntactic variations established by the Medan dialect in which the language develops in the local socio-cultural environment. Furthermore, the factors that cause the sociolects are educational factors (merchants come from mountainous areas so they do not receive high education) and socio-cultural factors (merchants stick to the strong family sense so that the duration of using their local language is longer).

Abstract

This study was intended to investigate the types of translation shifts in a documentary movie entitled The Social Dilemma. The method employed was descriptive qualitative to describe the translation shifts occurring in English-Indonesian movie subtitles. The types of shifts were analyzed using Catford's shift typologies. The findings showed that all types of Catford's shifts were applied in the movie subtitles. From the data collected, it was found that there were 56 level shifts (5%), 327 intra-systems shifts (30%), 243 unit shifts (22%), 83 class shifts (7%), and 392 structure shifts (36%). Based on the findings, the type of shift applied the most was structure shift. This happened since English and Indonesian have different grammatical structures, resulting in obligatory and optional shifts. In the obligatory shifts, the form of the SL sentences must be altered following the rules accepted in the TL culture. On the other hand, the SL form can be retained as long as it is still comprehensible in the TL.

Abstract

It is common for EFL students to commit grammatical errors in the early stage of learning writing, especially in paragraph writing. Therefore, this research aimed to identify the types of errors and the most dominant ones committed in descriptive paragraph writing exercises. A qualitative research design was applied to this study. Writing exercises were used as research instruments to collect the data. Twenty-six students of the English Study Program were used as participants in this study. Error Analysis Method (EAM) based on Surface Structure Taxonomy and percentage error analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that there were four types of errors committed referring to misformation with a frequency of error was 47 (0,14 %), omission with a frequency of error 81 (0,24%), misordering with a frequency of error 153 (0,47%), and addition with the frequency of error was 45 (0,13%). In this case, a misordering mistake was the dominant one, and an addition error was the least dominant one committed by the students. In conclusion, the researchers assume that some factors affect students' mistakes, such as lack of knowledge and competence in English grammar. The error analysis method was a very suitable way to identify types of errors using simple present tense in descriptive paragraph writing.

Baode is a shared identity that build collective awareness, even though they live apart by distance and time as well as the beliefs they hold.
