Abstract

A newspaper has three main functions: informing, serving, and entertaining. From a linguistic point of view, especially discourse analysis, it is interesting to analyze how the news can relate to each other and how the news has unity from one element to another. The instrument to relate and unite from one element to another in discourse analysis is called cohesion. Cohesion is a meaningful relationship between two or more elements within the text. Meanwhile, there are two kinds of cohesion, they are grammatical cohesion and lexical cohesion. In this study, the researcher focuses on lexical cohesion. Lexical cohesion is a linguistic device that helps create unity in the text. It occurs when two or more elements in the text are related to their meaning. Besides, it is also viewed as one of the elements that help the reader quickly understand the writer's thoughts. This study mainly analyzes lexical cohesion's types and functions in the "National Column" of The Jakarta Post. The approach of this study is descriptive qualitative. The data sources of this study are "National Column" of The Jakarta Post which is issued from 26th to 30th March, 2012. The data were analyzed based on the theory of Halliday and Hasan's (1976), Taboada (2004), and Tanskanen (2006). This study shows that: (1) lexical cohesion is used in the "National Column" of The Jakarta Post. The types of lexical cohesion which are used are reiteration and collocation. Reiteration used in these columns consists of repetition, synonym, and superordinate. The sequence of lexical cohesion types used the most are collocation, repetition, superordinate, and synonym. (2) each type of lexical cohesion has a vital function. Reiteration is used to reiterate the previous item, either in an identical or somewhat modified form. Collocation indicates the relationship between words that often occur in the same environment. In use, each cohesive lexical device has a substantial and different function. By using lexical cohesion, the sentences relate to each other, making them enjoyable to read.

Abstract

This study reports a Multimodal Discourse Analysis of thirteen English-language online articles from South Korea’s and the United Kingdom’s news media reporting Kim Jong-Hyun’s suicide on 18th - 19th December 2017. This qualitative study refers to Halliday’s ideational metafunction and Kress & van Leeuwen’s representational meaning. This study is limited to analyzing online articles’ headlines and lead images to find how news media from South Korea and the United Kingdom differ in reporting Kim Jong-Hyun's suicide. Upon the analysis, both South Korea’s and the United Kingdom’s news headlines are mostly employing material processes. Yet, South Korea’s news headline is not only written about Kim Jong-Hyun’s death but also the impact on society. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom’s news headlines provide more information about the reason background of why Kim Jong-Hyun took his own life. Also, within the representational meaning analysis, it is found that South Korea’s lead images are more variative especially when its lead image combines narrative and conceptual processes compared to United Kingdom’s lead image which is more general and more or less stable and timeless essence. This study is also significant to the discourse of suicide news reports which is rarely analyzed.

Abstract

This study delves into the users’ state of mind with regard to the use of online platforms for educational purposes, specifically in the context of higher education. The purpose of this study, which employs a survey method, is to investigate how students perceive online teaching and learning in higher education and contribute to the growing collaboration between higher education researchers studying 21st-century learning concepts and Indonesian universities, which are increasingly implementing online teaching and learning. This study analyses various significant problems, including the process of online teaching and learning at universities, the difficulties of its implementation, and the users’ perceptions and attitudes towards the implementation of online teaching and learning. Overall, it is found that both students and lecturers prefer offline, face-to-face interaction in class rather than the online system. It is possible to state that both the lecturers and the students who have been attached to the conventional method of instruction and learning process are not prepared for the shift from offline to online learning. Even though online learning has been implemented, there is still a lack of consensus on the best practices for an effective online classroom. In addition to this, the fact that the institution does impose any fixed regulation also plays an important role in this. Keywords: State of Mind, Online Teaching and Learning, Higher Education

Abstract

Sight translation is a combination of the elements of translation and interpretation in which interpreters read source language text silently and render information to target language out loud. It has been considered as supportive teaching methods for interpreting training. Sight translation takes place during medical consultation, in the court, conference, and meetings. Simultaneous Interpreting is one of the compulsory courses at D4 English for Tourism Industry Politeknik Negeri Malang. Sight translation is discussed and practiced in the class as an attempt to prepare students for simultaneous interpreting. Instructional texts from various fields are used as learning materials in the class. Objective of this study is to identify problems students encountered while performing sight translation and explain some strategies they applied. 38 audio recordings, where students were asked to conduct sight translation of tourism-related text from English to Indonesia, were analyzed in this descriptive-qualitative study. The recordings were transcribed and analyzed to gain information on students’ constraints and strategies in sight translation. As an addition, questionnaires were distributed to probe data related students’ problems in sight translation. The findings showed that lack of vocabulary which led to inaccurate translation and inaccurate word choice became the major hindrance in performing sight translation. Furthermore, transcribing, deletion, borrowing, addition and use of hypernym are the strategies the majority of the students utilized as an attempt to complete their sight translation. Transcribing or word-per-word translation prevented students from conveying accurate messages into the target language.
