Abstract

Today, the numbers of English speakers are geographically and culturally diverse. The discussion on which pronunciation model of English should be introduced to learners of English has become under discussion among English language practitioners. Should English teachers teach pronunciation aiming at near native accents or at intelligibility in which learners can understand different models of English? As a country where English is a foreign language and Non Native-English-Speaking Teachers (NNESTs) are vastly available, Indonesia has posed its uniqueness due to its diverse learners’ and teachers’ backgrounds. Under this circumstance, then, there has been a frequent question to whether NNESTs can help learners to develop their English pronunciation. This paper discusses English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) model as suggested by Jenkins (2000) in teaching English pronunciation that can be implemented in the Indonesian context. It suggests that what matters more to learners is improving their intelligibility in English pronunciation rather than aiming for near native accents. English teachers are encouraged to develop a pronunciation instruction that suits the learners’ needs and interests without discriminating any model of English. Finally, a conclusion is provided with my argument that ELF model will be a better model to be implemented in the teaching of pronunciation in the English classroom in Indonesia.

Abstract

The way people connect with one another is referred to as communication. People interact to communicate things like asking, asserting, promising, thanking, apologizing, and complaining. Thus, utterances have a purpose in communication. The goal of this study was to identify the sorts of illocutionary acts used in Zootopia. Specifically, the study examined any illocutionary acts found in the main character’s utterances. This qualitative study used descriptive methods as a technique analysis. The study also used documentary techniques and classification methods to analyze the data obtained. The data were the utterances of the main character, Judy Hopps. The results of this study revealed that the speeches of the main character contained five categories of illocutionary acts: representative acts, directive acts, commissive acts, expressive acts, and declarative acts. In addition, the most illocutionary acts used were the expressive acts. Thus, it can be concluded that the type of illocutionary acts that appears the most in the speeches of the main character is the expressive acts.

Abstract

This study investigated the use of dicto-comp in minimizing errors in students’ writing. The study concerned the type of errors frequently made by the students after the implementation of dicto-comp and the effectiveness of dicto-comp in reducing the students’ errors in writing. The study used the quantitative approach using the quasi-experimental research design. The instrument of the study was writing tests. The study took place at a senior high school in Banda Aceh, Aceh Province, Indonesia. Findings showed that after the implementation of dicto-comp, the students frequently made grammatical errors at 46.42% and mechanical errors at 40.66%.  Further, the t-test results showed that t-test = 2.12 and t-table = 1.70. This indicated that t-test score was higher than  t-table, and thus,  the  alternative  hypothesis  (Ha)  was  accepted  and  the  null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that dicto-comp decreased the errors in the students’ writing. It is suggested that teachers of English apply dicto-comp technique and/or combine it with another method/ strategy in teaching writing in classroom

Abstract

This study aims to find out reading strategies used by students at a public university in Aceh in cultivating their reading habit. Data were collected by means of questionnaire and interview. The results showed that most of the students were interested in reading and they had started it before coming to university. Family and friends had a little influence on them as they were self-motivated. The two most common reading habits that they had were having a reading schedule and making a reading list of their favorite book genres. On the other hand, none of them like to either bring books everywhere or read for others. They believed that reading has a lot of benefits, however, they did not want to force others to love reading.
