Abstract

This thesis is the study of apology strategies and the similarities and/or the differences of the types of apology strategies used by the female and the male students. My respondents consist of 20 female and 20 male students of the English Department. This study used the theory of Ogiermann (2009). I constructed my own Discourse Completion Test (DCT) questionnaire consisting of 10 simulated classroom situations. The quantitative approach was used in this study. The finding revealed that the first three most dominant types of strategies used by the both of them were expression of regret, acceptance of responsibility and justification. The similarities and/or the differences of the three most dominant types of apology between the female and the male students were found in the percentage use of apology strategies. Expression of regret was used 52.8% by the female students and 47% by the male students. The female students used 53.3% and the male students used 46.6% in acceptance of responsibility. Justification was used 52.7% by the female and 47.3% by the male students. For that reason, the female and the male students tend to use the same types of apology strategies, although their percentages are only slightly different.

Abstract

The mask or persona will be discussed in the first subchapter. Gintoki and Hijikata both have a mask that they wear to show to other people or society. Gintoki's persona is lazy, childish, and cowardly since his motivation is to live a carefree life, free of obligations, and to project an image that others will not hold high expectations of him. Behind every façade is their genuine personality, which they prefer not to project. The shadow will be discussed in the second subchapter. Their repressed feelings and flaws are contained in the shadow. I will also go through how each character's shadow works. Gintoki's shadow is his guilt about killing his own teacher as a result of being forced to make some difficult decisions. Whereas Hijikata’s shadow is regret of being unable to save his brother. The findings are that a human psyche is complex, and each has his different causes and outcomes.Keywords: samurai, persona, shadow, anima, animus, personality

Abstract

Chiaro Hotel is a one-star hotel in Sidoarjo that is located at a strategic location. It is clean and comfortable family hotel. The problem of Chiaro Hotel is lack of promotion. Even though Chiaro Hotel has had some promotional tools, such as short promotional video, marketing booklet, and flyer, those promotional tools do not give good impact for the hotel because they do not show the uniqueness of Chiaro Hotel. Therefore, I make a website to solve Chiaro Hotel’s problem. This website can reach people in many places. Also, this website can help Chiaro Hotel to show the uniqueness that the hotel has. For my project, the website is mostly in English. The features in this website are “Home”, “About Us”, “Room”, “Facilities”, “Latest News”, ”Contact Us”, and “Booking Feature”. The benefits that Chiaro Hotel can get from this website are to be well-known among its competitors and get more customers.

Abstract

Jasapindah.id is a relocation service under PT 3 Permata Logistics management. They provide relocation, packing, and warehouse services. However, the main problem that Jasapindah.id faced was the ineffective use of the social media of Instagram. The current Instagram contents were not good because the information needed was not complete, the quality of the picture was low, and the content was not updated regularly. Hence, the solution was managing its Instagram account by giving comprehensive information, improving the quality of the pictures, and making the content schedules. I improved the Instagram contents and pictures based on the theories from Walter and Gioglio (2014) and Simone (2013). After I managed the account, the brand awareness has increased, as proved by the increasing number of followers and accounts who contacted Jasapindah.id through direct messages and comments. Hopefully, the revised Instagram contents can increase the brand awareness of Jasapindah.id and led to better sales. Keyword: brand awareness, social media, Instagram

Abstract

This study is a qualitative study which aimed to know oral corrective feedback and learners’ uptake in the 5th grade of an elementary school. The source of data was the teacher’s talks with the students in class and the analysis was focused on teacher’s oral corrective feedback and learners’ uptake. In order to reach the research objectives, the writer used the theory of oral corrective feedback and learners’ uptake by Panova and Lyster (2002). From the study, the writer found that five out of seven types of oral corrective feedback were used by the teacher, namely Recast, Metalinguistic Feedback, Elicitation, Explicit Correction, and Repetition. Furthermore, types of learners’ uptake following the teacher’s corrective feedback were Self Repair, Peer Repair, Repetition, Same Error, Different Error, Partial Repair and Hesitation. It can be concluded that oral corrective feedback may lead the students to show signs of learning or understanding implied in the students’ reaction to the teacher’s feedback.

Abstract

This paper elaborates the project of creating picture-book stories for two to five years old of Indonesian children, which highlight the issue of identity development in children. Erik Erikson’s eight stages of psychosocial development will be the theoretical framework of this paper. In the first and second story, the main characters pass through the crisis of autonomy versus shame and doubt. They have strict and overprotective parents that caused them to doubt themselves. However, by believing in themselves and taking an action, they passed the crisis and developed a balanced identity. In the third, fourth, and fifth story, the main characters pass through the crisis of initiative versus guilt. They learn to be honest, to forgive, and to let go. Each action has its own risk, but by taking the initiative to do the right thing, they passed the crisis successfully and formed a balanced identity.Keywords: children picture-books, children development, psychosocial development, autonomy vs shame and doubt, initiative vs guilt, balanced identity

Abstract

In this study, I observe the way the character in Leila S. Chudori’s, Pulang, preserves his identity in a foreign country. In analyzing the novel, I use the theory of social symbols by George H. Mead. In the analysis, I find that Dimas uses symbols as Indonesians to preserve his identity. By doing so, he gets the acknowledgement by the Indonesian community as a part of its member even though he lives in different nation. This shows Dimas perceives his identity because he is aware that he is part of Indonesian community. As a result, Dimas can preserve his identity as an Indonesian even though he lives far away from Indonesia.
