Abstract

This paper reports on a research conducted to explore English major students view on becoming a translator as their future profession. The focus is divided into 3 main concerns 1) do  the students consider translator as their profession after graduation? 2)do  the students think they are equipped with enough knowledge on becoming a translator? 3)what elements should the English Department provide to support their career choice?. These concerns were presented in a perceptional questionnaire as the main data collection technique that aims to find out whether the students of English Literature as the University of Muhammadiyah Gorontalo would consider translator as their career. This is a qualitative research with total sampling as the technique of data collection. The subject of the research were 20 students of 6th semester majoring in English Literature at Muhammadiyah University of Gorontalo. The result of the study showed that the students have moderate consideration on choosing a career path of translation. There are several reason behind such thoughts, one of which is they do not think they qualified for becoming a professional translator or choosing the line of work as their future profession. Moreover, they think that the faculty can provide more classes on translation to build both their skills and their confidence on becoming future translators.

Abstract

This naturalistic qualitative study is intended to unravelling the working of quantity maxim introduced by Grice (1975) on EFL online classroom interaction amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Besides, this study is designed to investigate whether or not students violating or obeying the quantity maxim by observing and unravelling the utterances produced during online classroom interaction. Moreover, this study also provides factors that influence the non-observance maxim of quantity. The participant consists of 31 students from the fifth semester majoring in English Education at Tidar University. The study is conducted by recording, transcribing, and classifying the conversations done on online classroom interaction, viewed from Gricean maxim perspectives. The results reflect that students both observed and violated the maxim of quantity. The total number of observance maxim is 9, and 14 for the non-observance maxim. This study brings the conclusion that external factors such as unstable internet connection and interference coming from the surrounding environment during the online classroom can cause EFL students to break the maxim of quantity principle. Meanwhile, anxiety as an internal factor plays a crucial factor that leads the EFL students to violate the quantity maxim.

The role of higher order thinking skill in the instructional process is undeniably essential especially in this millennial era that demands more critical thinking. However, the unpleasant fact showed that Indonesian students are still unfamiliar and having difficulty to solve HOTS question. Although HOTS has been implemented in Indonesia since 2013. One English language activity that involves HOTS the most is writing. That fact leads this present study to examine; 1)  students challenge in solving HOT question for English writing, and 2) students strategies in solving HOT question. On top of that, present study also examined the challenge and strategy based on diverse students thinking level. Researcher used descriptive qualitative method and for obtaining the data, researcher conducted a HOTS testing to determine students thinking level then conducted interview with the students representative from each thinking level to fulfil both of the research questions. The result highlighted that the same level of thinking students indeed had some different challenges and vice versa. Additionally, cognitive challenge becomes the major challenge comparing to the linguistic ones from both of HOT and LOT students perspective. Then, the strategies that was implemented by students are ; 1) estimating the time, 2) re-reading the HOT question, 3) translating the question, 4) Paraphrasing the question, 5) pointing important keywords, 6) getting background knowledge from semantic and episodic memory, 7) asking peers for help, 8) scratching raw idea, 9) rereading the whole answer and self-reflecting. Overall LOT applied more strategies than HOT students.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how the students' university accommodates their local/regional language to the new language that they stay temporary for their study program at university. Two students were involved in this study from different regions in East Java which took four years of study in UNESA. They have different dialects from their regions and should adjust new dialects in Surabaya for their new environment. For this reason, this study wanted to know how students-university accommodates their home-language to Surabaya language as the place that they study at university. To do so, the researcher gained the data in depth-interviews that used structured interviewed techniques. Further, the analysis revealed that the university students changed their linguistic features because many reasons; they wanted to be approved in their community, they wanted to create meaningful or communicative communication with interlocutors, and they would get the same perceptions with their interlocutor. This research is beneficial for researchers who interest in the area of speech accommodation, especially in the Indonesian context since it is rarely conducted in Indonesia. Moreover, from the results of this study, it is to be more useful when the future study involved more students from different regions and different regional languages that can show many varieties of evidence for the speech accommodation process in a multilingual society.
