Need analysis for digital instructional materials of the Translation Theory Course in Indonesia Rudy Sofyan; Bahagia Tarigan; Rohani Ganie
Studies in English Language and Education Vol 10, No 1 (2023)
Publisher : Universitas Syiah Kuala

The essential role of translation in intercultural communication leads to the inclusion of translation as one of the courses in universities worldwide, including Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU), Indonesia. However, little research has been conducted on the development of instructional translation materials. This study aimed to determine the need for digital instructional materials for the Translation Theory course administered in USU’s English Literature Study Program. The need analysis in this research was conducted using a survey method. The participants were the seventh-semester students who had taken the courses on translation, the translation lecturers, and the professional translators. The data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. These instruments were developed based on the document analysis of the previous instructional materials used by the lecturers in teaching the Translation Theory course. The data were analyzed and interpreted using a 4-Point Likert Scale. The results indicated that the instructional materials for a Translation Theory course need to include clear objectives and approaches, topics guiding them to translation theory mastery, and exercises that cover both translation theory and practice. In addition, the results indicate that the participants need the material resources and exercises in a digital form. Although this study was conducted in the context of USU, the findings may be applied as the basis for developing translation courses in other universities in Indonesia, and other countries that treat English as a Foreign Language in their education systems.

Research gap strategies in article introductions of different rank applied linguistics journals Safnil Arsyad; Yetti Zainil
Studies in English Language and Education Vol 10, No 1 (2023)
Publisher : Universitas Syiah Kuala

Research gap (RG) becomes an important rhetorical work in research article introductions in all fields, especially in a competitive research publication atmosphere. A research article (RA) submitted to a reputable journal may be rejected because the writers fail to show the ‘niche’ in reviewing previous relevant studies to justify their research project. This research aims to find how writers in Applied Linguistics (AL) published in international journals of different quality in terms of their quartile value address the novelty in their journal article introductions. Forty articles were selected from eight different reputable international journals in AL of different tiers for the corpus of this study. The content analysis method under the umbrella of the qualitative approach was applied in the data collection and analysis. Six RG strategies, as suggested by Arianto et al. (2021), were used as a model for analysis and then the linguistic features used by the writers in realizing the RGs. The results show that among the six different RG strategies, the most frequently used by international writers are Strategy 2 (inadequate research) and Strategy 4 (contradictive/conflicting evidence). Among the four groups of RAs, those published in Quartile 1 journals used the most frequent strategies. The frequent linguistic features used by international writers are adversative conjunctions and adjective-modifying nouns to signal their RG strategies. To improve the quality of an article introduction, writers, especially novice writers, should use multiple strategies with the appropriate linguistic features.

Students’ perspectives on the 4/3/2 technique and self-assessment to improve English speaking fluency Jardel Coutinho dos Santos; María Rossana Ramírez-Avila

Understanding students’ perspectives and differentiating classroom practices based on student needs are considered effective educators’ primary purposes in improving the foreign language learning process. How teachers conduct and teach their classes significantly affects how students cope with their learning. For this reason, this phenomenological study aimed to identify the perspectives among 12 Ecuadorian ninth graders on the 4/3/2 technique and self-assessment used to improve their English-speaking fluency during a five-week class. The data were collected through interviews and visual narratives and analyzed using grounded theory. The results of the study show that the 4/3/2 technique presented three categories (I learned because I repeated; I increased my speaking speed and decreased word repetitions; I got nervous when I had to speak faster). Self-assessment presented two categories (I learned from my mistakes; We were aware of our progress, which motivated us). Thus, this study has shown the importance of identifying students’ perspectives on the two learning strategies used in class. By doing this, teachers can select the appropriate technique for that specific learning context based on the students’ perceptions and foreign language theories. Further research is still necessary for the Ecuadorian context to explore how students’ perspective on the teachers’ learning methodologies affect them, especially their emotions.

Acehnese parents’ attitudes and their implications in the intergenerational transmission of the heritage language Idaryani Idaryani; Fidyati Fidyati

This study aims to find out the Acehnese parents’ attitudes toward their heritage language, Acehnese, and its implication for the intergenerational transmission of the Acehnese language in the family domain among Acehnese parents residing in two suburbs of Lhokseumawe city in Aceh Province, Indonesia. This qualitative study collected data from semi-structured interviews with 20 female parents who are from endogamy families and Acehnese native speakers. The results of the study underlined three significant issues. First, the parents’ attitudes toward higher educational degree graduates toward their heritage language are negative, and have low self-esteem to speak their heritage language which gradually resulted in a language shift among female parents. However, the parents with lower educational degrees are more confident to speak Acehnese with a strong sense of belonging to their heritage language. Second, a discrepancy is found between the parents’ declaration and their practices in using Acehnese as a mother tongue in their homes because of educational pressures and negative attitudes of the parents. Last, the traditional pattern of intergenerational transmission of Acehnese has been disturbed in the home domains, and this resulted in the Acehnese language being under threat. Consequently, the ability of Acehnese children in speaking Acehnese deteriorates. This study suggests that the important status of Acehnese needs to be recognized as equally important as Indonesian by strengthening the local content policy and immersion approach in schools. Revising the language planning and policy to improve awareness of the values of Acehnese needs to be done.

This study aims to find out the problems faced by student teachers in an internship program in designing lesson plans at schools. A lesson plan is one of the essential instructional designs that should be considered to achieve a successful teaching and learning process. For teachers, a lesson plan is a guideline that will be used in teaching to achieve learning objectives. This research used a qualitative method. The participants were selected by using purposive sampling. They were seven students of the English Education Department of Universitas Syiah Kuala who were taking an internship program. The data collection was carried out through document analysis and interviews. The results showed that all student teachers strived to design their lesson plans based on the 2013 Curriculum. There were several problems faced by the students, such as (1) formulating the indicators of competency achievement, (2) writing learning objectives, (3) finding suitable materials, (4) selecting learning methods, (5) choosing learning media and resources, (6) formulating activities, and (7) creating an assessment. The results of the interview also revealed the same. Thus, it is recommended that student teachers should receive more training, both theoretically and practically, in designing the lesson plan based on the 2013 Curriculum as required by the Ministry of Education in Indonesia.

The study aimed at analyzing the effectiveness of assigning students to work in groups using Zoom breakout rooms to enhance their speaking self-efficacy to participate in active learning activities in an online learning context. Thirty-six students of Diploma 3 of the Accounting Program attending English for Accounting course were purposively selected as the respondents of the study. The data were collected using a three-part questionnaire distributed electronically using Google Forms. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were measured using Pearson correlation and Cronbach Alpha. The students reported that their sources of English-speaking self-efficacy were enhanced as they had opportunities to develop both mastery and vicarious experience of English speaking, received social persuasion in the form of encouragement and motivation from one another, and experienced lower speaking anxiety. The teaching strategy enhanced the students’ English-speaking self-efficacy to participate in active learning activities to a moderate level. From being quiet and passive, they gradually transformed into active learners who could ask questions, chair discussions, answer questions, defend arguments, etc. It can be concluded that a group work in Zoom breakout rooms facilitated active learning activities as the students experienced opportunities to enhance English-speaking self-efficacy. There was a significant positive correlation between the use of group work in Zoom breakout rooms and students’ self-efficacy to participate in active learning activities. Implications and limitations of this current study are presented, and suggestions for further studies are offered.

Trends in the use of commissives in the informal judicial system of Sulha Mohamed Ayed Ibrahim Ayassrah; Ali Odeh Alidmat

Publisher : Universitas Syiah Kuala

This article investigates the trends in using commissive speech in Sulha proceedings in Jordan. Sulha focuses on a dispute-resolution system in Arab society that uses the Bedouin Arabic dialect as the primary language of communication. Qualitative and quantitative research designs involving descriptive and survey instruments were used in this study. The data for the study were collected as audio recordings of some incidents taken from Sulha samples. Some of the data are from interviews with Sulha participants and the synthesis of archived disputes related to cases previously handled by Sulha. The data analysis was done according to the scope of Speech Act theory to show the trends adopted in the Sulha tribunals in making commitments by different participants in solving disputes. This study finds that the informal legal setting in the Sulha tribunals determines the patterns exhibited by commissive speech acts and their frequencies during the Sulha proceedings. A number of eight commissive speech acts are realised in the Sulha proceedings: promise, swear, vow, threat, guarantee, warning, acceptance, and offer. The eight commissive speech acts are realised either explicitly or implicitly. The results further reveal some of the commissive speech acts can elicit other commissives, and a number of commissives can also be resultant forces of other speech acts, such as the acts of directives. The finding of this study is expected to help understand how forms of language used in the Sulha enhance the adoption and discharge of commitment during the Sulha proceedings.

Stance-marking of interaction in research articles written by non-native speakers of English: An analytical study Hameed Yahya A Al-Zubeiry; Hussein Taha Assaggaf

Publisher : Universitas Syiah Kuala

Stance-marking of interaction is considered an important element for achieving effective communication in any academic discourse. Based on a descriptive-analytic approach, the present study addresses a two-fold objective: a) analyzing and comparing stance-marking of interaction across disciplines in the research articles written by Arab non-native speakers of English, and b) describing how researchers’ lack of using interactional linguistic markers in their research articles would constrain readers from interacting with the arguments and opinions they expressed in their academic articles. The corpus data comprised forty research articles selected randomly from two disciplines: sciences (ten engineering and ten medicine) and humanities (ten education and ten applied linguistics). The findings of the study showed an evident lack of stance-marking in research articles written in English by Arab researchers. A total of 307 occurrences of lack of stance markers were detected in the study corpus. Arab non-native researchers’ deficiency in employing stance markers in their research articles is likely to be attributed to their lack of knowledge and awareness about the effectiveness of stance-marking of interaction in academic writing. The results also show that science discipline articles have a higher frequency of lack of stance markers than humanities discipline articles. The difference between the two disciplines could be attributed to the distinctive persuasive nature of each discipline. The study concluded with some recommendations, including the inclusion of stance-marking of interaction in evaluating papers for publication and teaching academic writing to Arab non-native English postgraduate students.

Publisher : Universitas Syiah Kuala

This study aims at analyzing the integration of higher-order thinking skills, specifically the level of analysis (C4), the level of evaluation (C5), and the level of creation (C6), in reading comprehension questions found in senior high school textbook ‘Bahasa Inggris SMA/MA/SMK/MAK for Grade 12’. This study employed critical content analysis to analyze and interpret textual material to draw valid inferences. The researchers examined the reading comprehension questions to find out how the integration of HOTS in the questions. Using a checklist table, the researchers collected, listed, and analyzed the questions according to the cognitive domain of the revised Bloom’s taxonomy. After examining and determining the cognitive level of each question, the researchers categorized them into two groups, namely higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) and lower-order thinking skills (LOTS) questions. The result showed that the distribution of HOTS-level questions was lower than that of LOTS questions. The data show that the number of HOTS questions got 13 out of 67 questions or 19.4%, while LOTS questions reached 54 out of 67 questions or 80.6%. These results imply that this textbook needed to provide an adequate number of higher-level thinking questions that could enhance students’ HOTS. To sum up, HOTS questions were not sufficiently integrated into the reading comprehension questions of the textbook. Thus, it is expected that the findings of this study motivate education stakeholders, including teachers, textbook authors, and publishing houses to make more effort to foster and develop HOTS in textbooks.

This study was carried out to analyze semiotic signs appearing on the names of Acehnese online newspapers. The method used in this research was qualitative by using content analysis, and the technique used for this research was documentation. The instrument used to collect the data for this research was a checklist by reviewing the names of Acehnese online newspapers: Aceh Redaksi, Kabar Aceh, Aceh TerUpdate, Aceh Info, Aceh WorldTime, and Acehzone_id. The data was analyzed using the sign theory of icons, indices, and symbols. The result of the analysis found that the signs which appeared on the names of Acehnese online newspapers and the meaning which appeared on them were related to the history of Aceh. They have the same characteristics in the use of colors: red, white, and black. These are the hues used on Aceh’s flag, which serves to represent the identity of the Acehnese. Since the newspaper organizations were also part of the Aceh community, Acehnese online newspapers also had the same culture. Thus, using the flag colors strengthened their identity and signified their origin. White is a symbol of purity, honesty, and kindness, meanwhile black refers to a warning and grief to the heroes, and finally, red symbolizes courage and heroism. The representation of the flag and people, in general, revealed the Acehnese desire to have a distinct identity from other Indonesian ethnicities in the 38 provinces of this country. Such portrayal was designed to create a distinct identity within the diversity of Indonesia.
