Abstract

Investigating students perspectives on assessment has been widely studied, however, relatively little is known about how university students respond to assessment. Assessment is an important part of teaching and learning process because it is used to measure students knowledge, skills and also to evaluate the program. Students perspectives are particularly important because the power of assessment directly impacts on their motivation and attitudes towards learning. This study focused on finding out the student perceptions of the test, test result, test procedure and feedback of four skill-subjects that they had taken. The study explored the students opinions of English language assessment in English Department of Universitas Nusa Cendana, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia through the draw and write technique and interview. The results showed that assessment might cause positive or negative feelings among the students. This paper helps understand how assessment impacts the students lives, how teacher can make a well-designed assessment to measure the students ability and skills properly without discouraging them from learning, and how the draw and write technique can be used to document the student perceptions.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors influencing the development of reading habits through online English stories on Wattpad and explores the platform’s associated benefits. Employing a descriptive-qualitative research method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with three active Wattpad users. Purposive and snowball sampling were utilized to select respondents. Data analysis followed Miles, Huberman, and Saldana's (2014) interactive model. Findings indicate that reading frequency, accessibility, diverse genres, and a strong interest to enhance English language proficiency significantly contribute to the formation of reading habits. Participants reported spending 3.5-6 hours weekly on Wattpad, reading 1-3 times per week. Key benefits of using Wattpad include improved language skills, expanded vocabulary, enhanced grammar comprehension, and overall reading proficiency. This study concludes that Wattpad’s accessibility, diverse content, and interactive features effectively facilitate the creation and maintenance of English reading habits.

One of the EFL learners was from stage 2 and the other was from stage four. Therefore, both learners had different periods in learning English, and also grammatical knowledge of English. The learner in stage 2 has studied English for three terms and the learner in stage 4 has learnt English for two terms. The study was conducted using mixed-method approach.

Abstract

Language shift means replacing one language to another as a communication tool within a community. This study intends to investigate the factors that cause language shift among Acehnese and its impact to the young generations of Acehnese language users. The study reveals that there are two factors causing a shift in Acehnese language, namely: the external factors (i.e., culture, economy, and inter-generational transfer) and (2) internal factors (i.e, language attitude and language ability). In addition to the impact of language use, the study points out that although most of the Acehnese people are able to speak their own community language, their children are rapidly losing their language.

Abstract

This qualitative descriptive research aims to discuss the types of verb phrases with modality based on Palmer (1990) and Alwi (1992) theory, translation techniques based on theory introduced by Molina and Albir (2002), and translation readability based on theory developed by Nababan (2012) in the TikTok Privacy Policy. The source of data in this study is verb phrases with modality obtained from the webpage on the TikTok website containing the Privacy Policy of the TikTok platform in English and Indonesian versions. The translation readability was discussed through the Focus Group Discussion (FGD).

The linguistic data is the verb phrase with epistemic, dynamic, and deontic modality in the Privacy Policy on the TikTok website. In this research, 100 data of verb phrases with modality were obtained and categorized into three types of modalities; 50 data belong to the deontic modality, 24 data to the dynamic modality, and 18 data to the epistemic modality. Verb phrases with two modalities are also found; 6 data belong to the epistemic and deontic modalities, and 2 data belong to the epistemic and dynamic modalities. Eight translation techniques are adopted, including established equivalent, literal translation, linguistic amplification, transposition, the combination of established equivalent and transposition, the combination of literal translation and transposition, the combination of established equivalent and reduction, and the combination of linguistic amplification and established equivalent. The most used technique is the established equivalent with 62 data or 62% of the total data.
