Abstract

This study explores the interjection of He Soaya le…! in Nias language using a descriptive qualitative method. Words that denote reactions or spontaneous expressions are interjections. The Nias language has an interjection that is similar to the exclamation of oh my God, namely He Soaya le...! Where this interjection is one of the quite iconic interjections in the daily conversation of the Nias people.  This research aims to know the meaning of the Interjection He Soaya le...! . In this paper, researchers identify Nias interjections in the Nias language using the Natural Semantic Metafunction approach. The method used in this study is a qualitative research method, namely research that uses written and oral data sources. The data is taken from a dialogue in the comedy-drama series entitled Abunawa. Distribution and contextual methods are the methods used in this study to obtain data. From the results obtained in this study, there is one meaning of the interjection He Soaya le...! Namely shock, fear and panic, and emotional expressions that can be formed through physiological changes in humans. In Nias language, it is also expressed in two semantic aspects of its metafunction, namely emotive and cognitive aspects. From the results of this research, it is hoped that it can become a source of knowledge and understanding for other people of different ethnicities from the people of Nias and can avoid misunderstandings about a language.

Abstract

The research explored the designed-in scaffolding features implemented by the teacher in the English as a foreign language (EFL) young learner classroom to support young learners in creating multimodal texts. The research used scaffolding theory proposed by Hammond and Gibbons (2005) which categorized scaffolding into two fragments: designed-in and interactional scaffolding. The research was conducted in one of the elementary schools in Bandung. It involved one teacher who taught 18 students in 4th grade. The data were gained from classroom observation and teacher’s lesson plans. The findings revealed that the features of designed-in scaffolding were employed by the teacher in planning and implementing the lesson in the classroom. This research also found that following the designed-in scaffolding features could lead the teacher to structure and provide activities, tasks, and multimodal exposures for the students to be familiar with the multimodal texts. Hence, this research resulted in the pedagogical implication to encourage the teacher to be aware of scaffolding. If the teacher could provide an appropriate scaffolding, the students could gain the assistances, supports, and multimodal exposure for young learners to learn and create multimodal texts.

Abstract

This research will answer the question and correlate it with the term of translation, especially through Indonesian to English. Using Skopos theory perspective, the researcher is able to analyze several functions and translation strategies that are used in translating the content of the news articles. Vermeer's Skopos theory has three important rules, namely the Skopos rule, the Coherence rule, and the Fidelity rule. Skopos theory will also bridge the choice of Bielsa's and Bassnett's translation strategies that are suitable for use in the English version of the Antaranews article. This research method is of the library research type, starting with the collection of 11 news articles from Antara in Indonesian and English, respectively. The Indonesian articles became the subject of source language research, while the English ones became the subject of target language research. Then each article was examined carefully, sentence by sentence in order to discover which translation strategy Bielsa and Bassnet models were used. To determine the translation strategy, the researcher integrates the Skopos theory which serves as an indicator of determination in the target language. Based on the research, it was found that Antara's news articles have implemented five kinds of translation strategies, namely: Changing Title and Lead, Removing Unnecessary Information, Adding Important Background Information, Changing the Order of Paragraphs, and Summarizing Information. The findings in the form of translation strategies that can be determined using Skopos theory in this study are expected to help research related to the world of translation at large.
