Abstract

   In English, the forms of singular nouns commonly different from those of the plural ones. Many students are confused with how to construct the irregular plural noun forms. The formation of irregular plural nouns has complex and unique patterns. This current study aims to get information about the types of errors commonly made by EFL learners in constructing irregular plural nouns and to know how the errors occurred. This study is descriptive qualitative applying error analysis theory. The data were collected by giving the respondents a test consisting of 28 questions on irregular plural construction. The result of analysis shows that the errors made by the respondents can be classified into three types: misformation, addition, and omission. Misformation was the kind of error most respondents made. The error specifically occurred with the nouns that had quite dissimilar plural forms from the singular ones (e.g., foot – feet, goose – geese).

Abstract

Translation is an adjustment idea of one language to a different language equitably. In doing a translation, a translator needs to apply some methods to produce an acceptable translation. Plenty of researches on translation method have been administered. However, translation method research on a book's glossary is ostensibly still under-researched in translation studies. So that, to fill in this gap, this research aimed at figuring out and describing the methods of English-Indonesian translation used in the book's glossary “An Introduction: Theories of Learning 7th Edition Book”. This research exerted a qualitative method. The objects of this research were An Introduction: Theories of Learning 7th Edition Book and its Indonesian version Theories of Learning: Teori Pembelajaran Edisi ke-7 based on Newmark’s translation methods. The data was geared by documentation. Afterward, the researchers classified the data suited to the determined table of instrument as researchers' tools in data collection. Furthermore, after elaborating the data, researchers analyzed it descriptively. The result showed that there were five out of eight translation methods applied by the translator. Three of them are concentrated on source text comprising semantic translation, literal translation, and faithful translation. While two of those are concentrated on target text, namely free translation and communicative translation.

Abstract

Blended learning is a learning strategy that combines face-to-face learning (both traditional in-class and virtually with video conferences) with online learning (e-learning). Blended learning is used as the best solution for dealing with restrictions on large-scale activities in Indonesia due to the spread of the coronavirus. SMAN 1 Porong applies blended learning to ensure the teaching and learning process continues, especially in learning English. On the other hand, teachers in this school face challenges in implementing blended learning. Therefore, the purposes of this study are to reveal in detail the implementation of blended learning and the challenges faced by teachers using case study research. To collect data, the researchers used observation and unstructured interview techniques. The results of this study indicate that SMAN 1 Porong has successfully implemented blended learning, especially for English lessons. However, the English teachers at the school are not free from challenges, such as the difficulty of finding the right strategy for face-to-face and online classes. This study implies that, however, the success of blended learning must be accompanied by teachers' creativity in teaching both face-to-face and online and the support of school facilities.

Abstract

This study aims at investigating a decision-making process based on Freudian Psychoanalytic theory in Gayle Forman’s If I Stay. This study specifically focuses on the main character, Mia Hall. Based on Freud’s, all human behaviour, including decision-making, is influenced by the interaction of three structures of personality: Id, Ego, and Superego. This study discussed the interrelation of those structures in affecting Mia’s decision-making process. Furthermore, this study also searched for the prominent domination explicated in Mia’s final decision. The writers applied Freudian Psychoanalysis to reveal the main focus of this study. The compelling utterances and narrations from the novel are considered the primary source of data. Then, the data are classified into Id, Ego, and Superego before looking for the interrelation and dominant structure. Besides Psychoanalytic, this study also applied character and characterization theory to help the writers analyse the utterances and behaviour of Mia. The result reveals that, though the Id, Ego, and Superego have their desire, these three structures can balance each other and eventually lead Mia to a decision. It is crucial to learn and investigate the dynamic of the decision-making process encountered by a human.

Abstract

This research aims to know the students' perception of using zoom application in a debate course during crisis remote teaching. The government of Indonesia gave an order to the Higher Education Commission, asked them to start preparing for crisis remote teaching via online learning modes, rescheduled all of the exams given, and helped the students online learning until the COVID-19 crisis remained unchanged. Online learning is the leading choice for instruction within the middle of the Covid-19 flare-up. In Indonesia, not all students are commonplace with the online learning framework, so this has become a new thing that requires adjustment. The research design used is mix method in this research. There are 26 university students who participate in this research. This research was presented quantitatively and descriptively to reveal the students' perceptions and difficulties comprehensively. The research finds ZOOM Application gets a positive perception because it is effective and comfortable. However, the problems that the students face are the device to do online learning and internet connection. It is suggested that zoom app is still appropriate to be used in debate course class due to many advantages than the problems that emerge during crisis remote teaching.

Abstract

Writing skill is regarded as troublesome for students, leading to errors occurring in the students’ writing. Thus, this paper aims to explore the linguistic feature errors in students' writing and how those errors can be minimized by modified peer-written corrective feedback. This study employed a qualitative method with Classroom Action Research (CAR) design through content analysis. The data was collected from vocational high school students’ composition of the dialogue draft on the ‘offering help’ theme. The results reveal that apart from their level of proficiency, students make errors more on linguistic features in their first phase than in their second phase. It is due to the role of modified peer-written corrective feedback given by their peers of different groups. This feedback assists the students in learning their linguistic aspect errors in their writing. In the process of writing, the modified written corrective feedback is imperative to spur students to apply good linguistic features in their writing. In such a case, learning from peer feedback is a good technique since the process becomes the priority rather than the final product. Finally, modified peer-written corrective feedback is effective in enhancing the students’ writing skills, particularly in writing dialogue.
