Abstract

This study focuses on the development of a Nias culture-based English textbook designed to enrich 21st century skills in vocational high school students. The problem underlying this study is the low relevance of the teaching materials used to the local cultural context making it difficult for them to understand the material in depth. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, the textbook was designed, developed, implemented, and evaluated in terms of feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness. The effectiveness of the product is tested using a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group posttest-only design. The research sample was determined using cluster sampling to represent students in different class groups. Research subjects included an experimental class, control class and an additional school as the dissemination class. Data is collected through expert validation, implementation, questionnaires, and learning outcome tests. The validation results showed high feasibility scores from four experts (100% culture and material, 95.55% language, 85.71% design). The developed book was also found to be practical and effective in enhancing students’ 21st-century skills, particularly in communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. The posttest results revealed clear improvements in students’ learning outcomes compared to the control class. Moreover, both teachers and students responded positively, emphasizing the textbook’s relevance to local culture and its usefulness in the learning process. Therefore, the Nias culture-based English textbook can be concluded as a feasible, practical, and effective learning resource that integrates local wisdom, strengthens students’ cultural identity, and fosters essential 21st-century competencies.

Abstract

Racism has become the biggest social issue in the world because of its constant unjust treatment that affects people from minority races, ethnicities, and religions. Related to this issue, The Hate U Give conveys the social condition where racial disparity towards black people is profoundly represented in the narrative. This study focuses on identifying the ideational metafunction elements, including transitivity and ergativity patterns found in the narrative. It reveals how the racial disparity is performed by the use of the meta function. Mixed method research was employed to collect and analyze the data to yield more insightful information that complements both methodologies’ findings. The theory of Systemic Functional Grammar was used to identify and classify the ideational metafunction elements from the collected narrative, and the Discourse Analysis approach was applied as a theoretical approach to support the observation. The result concluded that in the analysis of transitivity patterns, material and relational processes dominate the narrative by approximately 25% to 33% of the entire collected narrative. The findings show that racial disparity in analyzing black people that was performed by law enforcement in the collected narrative is manifested in three forms: police brutality, racial profiling, and sentencing policy.

Abstract

Teaching vocabulary for EFL young learners always challenges the teacher. The researchers have investigated the condition of SD Islam Pojok 2 Kediri and found that the school only provided modules in the English class, so researchers aim to develop a medium called a big book. This study is research and development, adapted from Dick and Carey and modified by Sugiono into seven steps: need analysis, designing, expert validation, revision I, try-out, revision II, and evaluation. The researchers collected the data through observation, interview, and documentation, then analyzed it using content and narrative analysis techniques. The results of the study showed that there are four topics to assemble the big books, namely daily activity, jobs, tourism places, and food. The expert validation reveals that three big books have been eligible for use, and one needs to be revised. In the try-out process, it was found that the teacher and students liked the story and illustrations of the big books. It helps the students gain new vocabulary and strengthen their existing vocabulary. To sum up, developing big books to improve young learners’ vocabulary acquisition has been successful.

Abstract

Confusion of Tongues stated by Sándor Ferenczi to show problematic relations between adults and children. He asserts traumatism, done by adults and experienced by children, may shape different perceptions in process. Emphasized by psychoanalysis, desire of love is so dominating that could result to violence. My Oedipus Complex is Frank O’ Connor’s short story that features perfect relationship of a child named Larry and his mother that is disturbed by return of his father from war. The mother tells his father as a puzzle then he becomes enemy for Larry for taking mother’s side. The child’s purity shifted into hate; from being accompanied to lonely and from being close to having distance. So, how is confusion of tongues analyzed in Frank O’ Connor’s My Oedipus Complex? Through qualitative method on Ferenczi’s perspective, this paper indicates psychoanalytic understandings in how language of mother disconcerted by child. The passion of love may break the heart of a child who loses that. Language of desire is reflection of not only giving but also obsessing and possessing. In conclusion, underlining confusion of tongues explains how passion could affect child differently. Any determination of love could always be misinterpreted especially through losing it.

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 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.
