Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the syntactic behavior of Verbs in the Bima language. The analytical method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method that describes data in the form of words or sentences containing verbs in the Bima language. The research locations were conducted in several villages in Bima Regency and Bima City. Data collection was carried out using introspection, listening, and speaking methods. The result of the research is that the syntax behavior of the Bima language verbs in this study is adapted to the structural environment. Data found related to how the behavior of verbs in their syntactic construction. The forms of verbs in the syntactic behavior referred to are transitive verbs and intransitive verbs. Intransitive verbs are analyzed based on whether or not there is an object that will follow the verb. If a verb can have a complete meaning without the presence of an object, it is declared as an intransitive verb. On the other hand, if a verb has a complete meaning and must be followed by an object, then it is stated as a transitive verb. In the Bima language, many transitive verbs are dominated by words with affixes. Many intransitive verbs are dominated by prefixes ka, ma, na, ta, da, di, ra and endings ku, mu, na, ta, ja, si, ro, ra, du, ni, pu, and mpa.

Abstract

Although research on Google Translate (GT) has been widely documented, there is a dearth of research examining Arabic lecturers' perspectives on GT from an appraisal point of view. This empirical research discusses how Arabic lecturers perceive the usage of GT as a tool for academics. The participants come from ten different Arabic language lecturers. Surveys and in-depth interviews were undertaken to gather data. The appraisal theory proposed by Martin and White (2005) was used for data analysis. The findings demonstrate how lecturers' perceptions of the usage of GT can be divided into four categories happiness and unhappiness, satisfied and unsatisfied. GT is popular among lecturers since it is simple to use, accessible, affordable, provides voice recording functions, and requires little language proficiency. Meanwhile, their unhappiness with GT arises because they find it challenging to grasp due to its literal translation, ambiguity, and poor source language input. Satisfaction with the lecturers arises from GT's assistance with their tasks, whereas dissatisfaction results from GT's inability to translate cultural terms. To this end, discussion and implications are discussed at the end of the study.

Abstract

This meta-ethnographic study aims to synthesize effective strategies for IT-mediated writing learning by examining the existing literature on the topic. The study adopts a systematic search and selection process, which results in the inclusion of 20 studies that met the pre-determined inclusion criteria. The findings reveal six overarching themes that represent effective strategies for IT-mediated writing learning, which include (1) collaborative learning, (2) scaffolding, (3) feedback, (4) learner autonomy, (5) multimodal approaches, and (6) contextualization. These themes offer insights into how IT can be used effectively to enhance writing learning in educational settings, particularly in the context of EFL learning. The study concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for both research and practice, and highlighting the need for further research in this area.

Abstract

Using SFL analysis, this study seeks to describe the transitivity elements of Joko Widodo's speech at the G20 Summit. Through this research, it is hoped that insight will be gained and research development will be enhanced in the field of transitivity analysis contained in a text or similar material, and this research will then serve as a reference or source of information for future researchers. There are both spoken and written varieties of spoken language. Speech is one manifestation of oral communication. Empirical, practical, and theoretical phenomena constitute the primary foundation of research-based reasoning. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method and simple quantitative reasoning to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the quantity and presentation of tabular data. The data being analyzed is spoken data that is subsequently transcribed into words, phrases, clauses, and phrase groups. The data source is an audio-visual recording of Jokowi's speech obtained from the YouTube page of KompasTV.com. The method of data acquisition employs the listening technique, which is supported by the note-taking technique. In presenting data analysis, researchers employ general methods. The findings revealed that the types of processes detected in the data were mental, relational, behavioral, and verbal, with material processes dominating in appearance. Participant I and Participant II were discovered as humans and abstracts, respectively. The types of circumstances discovered took the form of extent, cause, matter, and function, and the manner of circumstance appearance predominated.

Abstract

Since English is a foreign language in Indonesia and its teaching and learning is a text-based approach, it is essential to address the role of morphological words in the text. This current research aimed to investigate the awareness of English teachers on morphological words, specifically derivational and inflectional words, during reading text comprehension. The data used for this research was primary and secondary. A survey to collect the data was administered to 71 teachers from 24 (of 34) provinces attending an online professional in-service training program. The tool was a closed-ended questionnaire, adapting a 5-Likert scale with ten statements concerning derivational and inflectional words. The options of the questionnaire respectively are strongly aware, aware, hardly aware, unaware, and strongly unaware. The data were analyzed using the relative frequency distribution formula. Although it contradicts observation during the online training, this research revealed that the quality of awareness covering derivational and inflectional words was situated between 60%-80%, and the category is aware. The mean score of awareness of derivational and inflectional words are 76.29 and 74.05. The implication of this research to participants in implementing derivational and inflectional word awareness in reading text comprehension is immediate for their real teaching routines in the classroom.

Abstract

The current study aims to investigate challenges experienced by ESP students. Conducted at the University of Hamzanwadi (East-Lombok, Indonesia), this study employs both quantitative and qualitative methods with two instruments to collect data, questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaire was electronically sent out to 100 ESP students to discover challenges they have been dealing with, which was then statistically analyzed. In addition, semi-structured interviews were carried out with a representative of 20 ESP students to examine their perceptions of the challenges, which were then qualitatively analyzed using a coding system. The results of quantitative data revealed that the students have been experiencing 5 types of challenges in learning ESP with Linguistic Competence and University Support being the two most challenging issues for over 90% of students. Meanwhile, the qualitative data showed that the five challenges were intercorrelated and affected each other. Pedagogical implications gained from this study include university officials should provide support to facilitate ESP students with potential challenges and to help them eradicate the challenges. Despite these, several limitations in this study are found including it recruited a relatively small number of participants, and it missed to explore solutions that students have employed to tackle the challenges as it can provide us with meaningful insight into the general overview of ESP courses from students’ perspectives.

Abstract

Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) has gained popularity as a linguistic theory, especially in the field of education where it provides a useful method for examining textbooks. The goal of this study is to examine how social actors are portrayed in a particular textbook utilizing SFL framework. Textual data were gathered from a sample of the textbook, and transitivity patterns of process categories and pronoun usage were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that the pronoun "he" was primarily utilized and that the material process, which denotes physical actions, was most commonly used, depicting men as the main actors. These results imply that the texts in the textbook reflect how social actors are portrayed and represented in speech and offer an understanding of their functions, choices, agency, and relations

Hence, this research examines the satirical jokes found in the @podcastkeselaje Instagram account and The Daily Show With Trevor Noah in order to discuss social phenomenon that exist between different states. The objectives of this study are to classify the types of satire, describe the way of the satirical jokes are delivered in the reel video and The Daily Show, and explain the comparison of satirical jokes found between Indonesian and American culture. The data was collected from 15 reel videos of @podcastkeselaje official Instagram account with a total of 67 utterances, compared to 4 episodes of Trevor Noah’s Show with a total of 11 utterances. This qualitative study employs Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) by Fairclough as the approach and Abrams and Harpham’s concept of satire. Based on the results of the study, Horatian satire (28,2%), Juvenalian satire (20,6%), and Menippean satire (51,2%) are the most frequently found in the reels video. The satirical jokes found in the reel videos were delivered in a direct way, either by serving humor or insulting the target harshly and indirectly expressing the satire to the target. According to the findings, the comparison of Indonesian and American satire is clearly depicted by the similarities in social, political, and racism issues due to similar social backgrounds; if Indonesia consisted of various tribes, America is consisted of various ethnicities. Both of the nations adhere to a democratic system which refers to the implementation of Human Rights no matter what their races, they are totally different in cultural cases related to Eastern and Western norms and values. Therefore, the background of a culture impacts the realization of the satire.
