Abstract

The trend of online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic has driven English Literature lecturers to come up with effective ways of teaching literature. Concerning this issue, this research aims to analyze how literature, especially popular literature, is taught online. Focusing on the socio-cultural pedagogic principles, the approach of teaching popular literature is examined using a qualitative descriptive approach. This study was conducted at English Literature Department, Adab and Humanity Faculty, UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya, involving two popular literature lecturers. The data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation and analyzed using the interactive analysis method. It was found that the socio-cultural pedagogic principles were applied partially. (1) the principle of engagement was applied by warming-up questions, mind-mapping technique, mentioning adjectives, and watching movie trailers, (2) the principle of intelligibility was not applied because the lecturers explained the theory of genre and sub-genre characteristics before giving examples, and (3) the principle of participation was applied by delivering quizzes through various online platforms, like Google Classroom, Mentimeter, and Kahoot! and giving tasks which were uploaded in UIN Sunan Ampel’s e-learning system, SAILS ‘Sunan Ampel Integrated Learning Service’. The significance of these findings will contribute to the teaching and learning process of popular literature. Besides, the results will provide insight for popular literature lecturers to apply a better teaching approach.

Abstract

In November 2022, a Twitter account reported fraud committed by an owner of a well-known vanity publisher. The post that was retweeted thousand times revealed that many authors experience the same thing. Based on that case, this study analyzed reasons that drive authors to self-publish or use vanity and indie publishing service. To answer the research question, the researcher conducted semi-structured interviews with five authors acting as informants. The researcher presents the interview's results in three categories: the romanticism of publishing printed books, idealism in writing, and the prestige of indie publishing. The researcher analyzes the data using Michael Foucault's thoughts in his essay What is an author? This study found that though the informants used alternative publishing because conventional publishers did not accept their works, they had different reasons to continue using alternative publishing. The informants agreed that alternative publishing offers flexibility that enables them to maintain their idealism. However, the informants had different opinions on the classic conflict between idealism and income. The informants do not consider indie publishing more prestigious than conventional publishers or vice versa. However, they have their considerations when choosing a type of publisher. The interviews also showed that a supporting community, a valuable network, and pieces of information are necessary before using alternative publishing.

Abstract

Listening has an essential role in the language learning process. The success or failure of language learning is influenced by how students use the strategies. However, sometimes students still find it difficult to choose appropriate listening strategies. Therefore, listening strategies are crucial for the learning process in English as a foreign language context. This study aimed to investigate the learning strategies used by the English Language Education Program students in the Academic Listening course. The study was conducted in the first semester, 2022/2023 academic year. By using qualitative methods, the researchers employed close-ended and open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interview protocols to collect the data. The participants were thirty seven students of batch 2021 who have taken the Academic Listening course. The findings showed that the students used metacognitive, cognitive, and socio-affective strategies. In metacognitive, they tended to make plans before study, paid attention to the speakers, and learned from previous mistakes. Students also used dictionaries and glossaries to define the meaning of unfamiliar words, took notes, and summarized cognitive strategies. Then, they tended to relax and practiced English with others in socio-affective strategies. The study hopefully can increase Academic Listening students' awareness of listening strategies that can help them during the learning process. Moreover, it is hoped to be useful for lecturers who want to teach Academic Listening and support students’ listening strategies.

Abstract

The vaccination discourse is one of the discourses that is always reported by the mass media because of the increasing cases of Covid-19. News about vaccinations elicited various responses from the public. This study aimed to examine the strategy of online media news related to the vaccination discourse that had resulted in various public responses. The research was conducted using Theo van Leeuwen’s theory on critical discourse analysis. Four online media consisting of KOMPAS.com, detik.com, Liputan6.com, and Tribunnews.com were chosen as data sources for this research. This study uses a qualitative method. Data in the form of phrases, clauses, and sentences were collected through reading and note-taking techniques. Then, the data were analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach. The research results showed that the online media of KOMPAS.com, detik.com, Liputan6.com, and Tribunnews.com used exclusion and inclusion strategies in producing news discourse.  However, KOMPAS.com and detik.com online media tended to use exclusion strategies that included passivation, nominalization, and substitute clauses. Furthermore, Liputan6.com and Tribunnews.com online media tended to use inclusion strategies such as nomination-categorization, nomination-identification, and differentiation-indifference. Commonly, in this vaccination discourse, the news written by these four online media were not over-criticizing the government but more emphasized driving opinions concerning various public responses  to vaccination. These findings suggest readers to read information in the mass media critically. Thus, readers are not easily influenced by the conflicts that are reported

Abstract

As an indispensable part of the Research Article (RA), an abstract should be well written. The variability of information included in a research article abstract will likely vary because of different discourses among academicians worldwide.  This paper compares the rhetorical moves manifested in research article abstracts written by American and Indonesian authors published in two reputable journals. Data presented are move sequences of 25 Research Article (RA) abstracts from the latest six years issue (2022-2016). The abstracts were selected from a particular discipline, English language teaching and learning, to control the variability. Each move was identified based on the lexical used. The findings revealed that Move 1-Move 2-Move 3-Move 4-Move 5 and Move 2-Move 3-Move 4-Move 5 were the most salient move patterns found in both groups. Interestingly, abstracts of American authors showed cyclicity patterns and had an additional Move. Move 3 and Move 4 were considered as obligatory Moves, while Move 1 and Move 5 could be positioned as optional Moves. The study also found that American and Indonesian authors' writing styles differed. The implication of this study is expected to strengthen the theory of rhetorical moves in the literature. Also, it can be scientific evidence for Indonesian scholars to get a reference of how native academicians write their abstracts in reputable international journals

Abstract

The present study aims at showing the major types of errors that students make in their written products and their perspectives on the cause of errors that they make. In this research, 180 students’ paragraphs were analysed for the purpose of error analysis and a questionnaire was distributed to the students to find out their perspectives on the cause of errors that they made. The errors found in the students’ written products were first categorised into several major categories, then further classified into four general categories: morphological, lexical, syntactical, and mechanical. The findings show that there were 12 major errors that the students made in their writing. Seven of them fall under the category of morphological, two under lexical, one under syntactical and another two under mechanical.  The majority of students are aware that they make errors in their writing but find it hard to allocate them. As a result, they may not be able to correct or avoid the errors. Thus, incorporating error analysis in teaching and learning is a necessary practice for students to minimise the production of errors in their writing. Furthermore, lack of understanding of grammatical functions and limited knowledge of vocabulary are considered the major causes of errors based on the perspectives of the students. Through the classification system provided by the error analysis procedure, teachers are able to address this issue by incorporating smaller groupings of errors into the curriculum and teaching program

Abstract

This study discusses the conceptualization of metaphors in the discourse of the Bali G20 Summit using cognitive semantic theory. The purpose of this study is to explore and analyze the types and meanings of metaphors and create a semantic network to see the relationship of meanings with one another. This research is included in the descriptive qualitative research. The source of metaphor data comes from online mass media. The method used in data collection is the simak method, with the note-taking technique as the primary technique, and the data analysis method uses the distribution method with advanced techniques for natural elements (BUL). The results showed three types of metaphors, namely three structural, two orientational, and five ontological metaphors. Based on the metaphorical mapping between the source domain and the target domain of the image scheme, namely the identity of the suitability feature matching; space with features Up-Down, Front-Back, Left-Right, Near-far, Center-Periphery, Contact; force strength with the characteristics of balance, state of existence characteristic of an object, cycle, and process, limited space bounded space. Cognitive roles influence the conceptualization of metaphors in the discourse of the Bali G20 Summit. The meaning of the metaphor is reflected based on different thoughts and experiences in the context of the sentence. The linkage of meaning between one meaning and another can be connected through synonymous meaning relations in a semantic network.
