Abstract

The rapid enhancement of technology has made it possible to integrate technology and L2 pronunciation assessment. While the investigation of L2 pronunciation was considered vital in English Language Teaching, assessing pronunciation is granted the least attention. This study attempts to discuss the roles and impacts of O’Speak version 1.0 as an automated pronunciation tool and compare it with human ratings while assessing L2 segmental pronunciation features uttered by Indonesian learners of English. This study aims to pilot an android-based pronunciation test, namely, O’Speak, which was developed using Feuerstein’s Mediated Learning Experience principles. Performed under a quasi-experimental research design, this study ran an independent two-sample t-test involving 50 participants. The study showed that there was no statistically significant difference between O’Speak and human ratings in the segmental pronunciation assessment. This indicates that a new tool functions equally with the ability that human rating has. During the study, this study identified some caveats shown by the human rating that leads to its ability to be equal to O’Speak, and these include teaching experience, hallo effect, and rating experience.

Abstract

The use of language on social media which tends to adjust its pronunciation has given rise to a phenomenon called ecrononciation. This phenomenon has been happening in Indonesia for a long time, especially among teenagers. This causes the emergence of new language variations that displace old language variations over time. Therefore, this research aims to describe the differences in language variations of teenagers on social media, the function of language variations used by teenagers on social media, and the background that causes language variations of teenagers on social media. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method. Data collection was carried out through listening and note-taking techniques sourced from videos uploaded by one of the TikTok social media user accounts. The data used in this research are oral statements accompanied by written transcripts uploaded by the account. The data that has been collected is identified and analyzed using the matching method based on the theory of language variation in sociolinguistic studies. Based on the results and discussion in this research, it was found that there are forms of adolescent language variation in the form of new forms, the emotive function of adolescent language variations on social media, and the background of adolescent language variations from time to time is influenced by speech situations and age factors.

Abstract

The Dirty Vote documentary movie attempted to depict the ambiance of Indonesia’s general election. Movies inherently reflect the viewpoints and ideology of particular groups; therefore, it led us to research the film further by using Critical Discourse Analysis. Film as one of the discourses has its linguistics characteristic which brings the ideological orientations. This research aims to reveal the ideology of Dirty Vote from transitivity perspective. Transitivity is the ideational function that can show what happens in a text as it is related to a series of context in which participants, processes, and circumstance must be used in a discourse. In addition, this research uses Fairclough›s Critical Discourse Analysis to reveal ideological assumptions in discourse. The data is taken from the utterance of one of the constitutional law experts, namely Zainal Arifin Mochtar (ZAM). Fairclough›s CDA model: description, interpretation and explanation are used to analyze the data. This study found that the processes in opening of the film are relational attributive process, material process and behavioral process. Meanwhile, the processes perceived in the content of the movie are material, relational attributive, relational identifying, behavioral, verbal, mental, and existential process. The transitivity analysis in the film produces representation of general election reflected in the ZAM’s speech and create the ideology of the film.

Abstract

In trading activities, sometimes certain people take advantage of the situation to take as much profit as possible from consumers. What these parties do is sometimes done in deceptive ways. However, strangely, consumers are actually tempted by their products, and do not even mind their deception. This has the potential to become a legal problem because of the attempt to deceive consumers with ironic slogans and promotional language. Therefore, the purpose of this research is that the author wants to know how sales cases that occur in minimarkets and online shops have the potential to become legal problems. In addition, the author wants to know what kind of promotional language minimarkets and online shops use to manipulate the selling price so that it looks cheaper to consumers so that it has the potential to become fraud. The data collection used in this research uses observation and documentation methods. After that, the data that has been collected will be analyzed using a qualitative approach. The results show that the use of advertising promotional language can increase sales value. On the other hand, the language has the potential to become a legal case because there are elements of price fraud against consumers in accordance with Article 378 of the Criminal Code.

Abstract

Interlanguage is a transitional stage in language learning, where a person’s language ability moves from their first language (mother tongue) toward the other language. It is important to note that interlanguage is distinct from the mother tongue and the second/foreign language. This study examines the translation errors made by students when translating from Bahasa Indonesia to English during their interlanguage stage. The study aims to investigate (1) how students translate at this stage, (2) the types of errors they make, and (3) the most frequent errors. Using descriptive qualitative and content analysis methods, ten seventh-grade junior high school students participated in this study whose mother tongue is Bahasa Indonesia, and English is a foreign language/target language. For the instrument, this study uses an individual sentence translation test. The students were instructed to translate four unrelated sentences each, with a time limit of one minute per sentence. The researcher uses sources of error theory from Richard and Lott. The findings indicate that (1) most students tend to transfer the rules of their mother tongue into English. (2) Out of 40 sentences, it found 18 contained errors, leading to 26 mistakes: 8 interference errors (7.7% transfer of structure, 23% interlingual), and 18 intralingual errors (11.5% incomplete application of rules, 30.8% false concept hypothesized, and 27% overgeneralization). Meanwhile, (3) the most frequent error is false concept hypothesized, followed by overgeneralization, interlingual errors, incomplete application of rules, and transfer of structure errors.

Abstract

The Kampus Mengajar program plays an important role in education, offering opportunities to develop students outside the regular classroom. However, converting program activities into semester credits has a considerable impact on participants who have to learn independently. The primary goal of this study was to explore what learning strategies are used by Kampus Mengajar 6 & 7 students and the benefits of the learning strategies used by Kampus Mengajar 6 & 7 students. In this study, the researchers used qualitative research. The researchers use interviews as the main instrument to obtain data related to the problems being discussed in this study. The collected data will be analyzed using the descriptive analysis method. Students of Kampus Mengajar 6 and 7 at the English Education Department use learning strategies, such as Social, Cognitive, Affective, and Memory strategies, to catch up with the learning material. In general, Kampus Mengajar students thought their learning strategies worked effectively for understanding the conversion course material. The study examined Kampus Mengajar 6 & 7 English Education students' learning strategies for conversion courses. They primarily used social strategies, such as peer interaction and group discussions, and cognitive strategies, involving critical thinking and problem-solving. Affective and memory strategies were also employed for motivation and retention. Meta-cognitive and compensatory strategies were not used due to insufficient awareness and proficiency.

Abstract

Micro-teaching, one of the valuable advancements in teacher training, has become a tool for student-teachers to achieve professional teaching skills and foster deeper teaching knowledge. Collaborative skills, considered one of the 21st-century skills, have been identified as an indicator of a successful life. Therefore, Collaborative learning as a teaching approach where students work together on tasks or projects can help develop collaborative skills. Equally important, this research investigates how collaborative learning impacts student-teacher performance and collaborative skills development in micro-teaching classrooms, identifying factors contributing to successful teaching practice. This study employs qualitative research using a case study design by collecting data through questionnaires, documentation, and peer observation. The researchers analyzed 70 student-teachers from the micro-teaching class at Universitas Tidar who had already completed the teaching practice. Descriptive qualitative techniques are used to analyze the data to gain a deeper understanding of the results through data condensation, display, and conclusions. As a result, researchers expect to find that collaborative learning significantly enhances student teaching practice performance in the micro-teaching classroom. Furthermore, students could enhance communication, teamwork, management, problem-solving skills, and active participation during the collaborative learning process.

Abstract

This article applies Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) to conduct a transitivity study of racial prejudice depiction in Kelly Yang's young adult fiction novel "Front Desk." The study dives into the linguistic representation of racial dynamics utilizing SFL's transitivity paradigm, focusing on the experiences of Mia, the main character of the novel dealing with racial prejudice in the United States. Beginning with a review of relevant literature on racial bias in literary works, the study offers a conceptual framework, stressing dominant groups' property claims. The analysis deconstructs Mia's experiences through material, verbal, relational, mental, and behavioral processes, exposing how linguistic choices generate systemic hurdles and social biases. The findings highlight Mia's frequent physical actions, emotional responses to racial discrimination, and extensive verbal communication, all of which demonstrate the pervasiveness of systemic hurdles in her life. The study contrasts Mia's experiences with characters from other literary works to interpret racial relations. The study examines the language of race in "Front Desk," emphasizing the novel's dual importance in showing immigrant problems and promoting critical observations on racial concerns. The conclusion states that the novel's linguistic portrayals play a critical role in influencing readers' understanding of racial dynamics, emphasizing language's ability not just to reflect but also to question existing conventions.
