Magister Scientiae No 38 (2015)
Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

The purpose of this research study is to analyze the types of cohesive devices, the frequency of each cohesive device used and to identify cohesive errors that the students committed in their cause - effect essay. There were 29 students’ essays analyzed.. The study revealed that there were four types of cohesive devices used by the students in their essay: Reference, Substitution, Conjunction and Lexical cohesion. In accordance with the frequency of cohesive device, reference had the highest frequency which is 45,38%, followed by Lexical Cohesion 39,33%, Conjunction 14,90%, and Substitution 0,37%. The types of reference: personal, demonstrative and comparative rerference; types of substitution is nominal substitution; types of conjunction: additive, adversative, causal and temporal conjunction, and lexical cohesion: reiteration (repetition, synonym, general word and antonym) and collocation (adjectives + nouns, noun + noun, and verb + preposition) . Dealing with the errors in cohesive devices, the most frequency of errors was reference with the percentage 55,85%, conjunction 16,48%, lexical cohesion 2,76%. The research study revealed that most of the students committed errors in accordance with the source of interlanguage errors and intralingual errors. Most of the students committed errors on pronoun shift refers to grammatical errors, misuse of plural and singular form of demonstrative pronoun, overuse of cohesive devices, run-on sentence, misuse of cohesive devices and overgeneralization in their cause effect essay. The results of this study can contribute some pedagogical implications for writing teachers and students. It is necessary for English teacher to teach cohesion and cohesive devices explicitly and provide them with ample examples in English classes.

Magister Scientiae No 46 (2019)
Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

In an attempt to arouse young learners’ interest and active participations in learning English in this digital era, a prototype of speaking material for primary school students has been developed. The material developed is a computer-based interactive module for primary school students. Designed in the form of animation featuring animal characters, the themes were presented in dialogues as well as brief introductory narrations whereas the speaking activities were designed based on language chunks accompanied with pronunciation practice. To find out young learners’ reactions on the use of the materials developed, some try outs were conducted in some English classes of young learners. From the try outs it was found out that the young learners’ responses varied. Some seemed interested but shy to participate, some participated with encouragements, and some others participated actively without encouragements. However, the overall perceptions of the young learners on the use of the digital materials showed their interest and enthusiasm. In terms of the quality of the materials, some aspects that needed improvements were the age of the voice actors, the operational buttons, and the variations of the interactive activities.

Magister Scientiae No 44 (2018)
Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

Teacher education institutions worldwide have mostly attempted to shape their candidate teachers with positive traits of an effective teacher. However, this notion of equipping the future teachers with features of an ideal figure of a teacher seems to be obscure without any comprehensible identifications of what the features are. This study was then written to report an analytical review on the conception of a great teacher under the noble idea of guru as understood in Javanese and Indian culture. By understanding the various cultural perspectives of the term ‘an ideal teacher’ and identifying the characteristics of guru¸ this article can later be used as a foundation of defining what type of a teacher that a teacher education institution has been working on. This was conducted through literature review and analytical qualitative study of some candidate teachers taking Micro Teaching course in the Faculty of Teacher Training in Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya. This study attempted to identify connections between the proposed theories discussed and personal perspectives of the candidate teachers conveyed through their reflective writing products.

Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

The photoacoustic spectrometer technique has become the standard in measuring trace samples with the advantages of high sensitivity (up to ppt order), on-line, real time detection and range of operations that are close to 10 8 order. This article reports an experiment using CO2 laser photoacoustic spectroscopy for ethylene (C2 H4) gas detection in the soil during the rainy season based on variations in depth and sampling location using a CO2 laser extracted spectrometer. The lowest limit of detection value (LOD) was obtained at (416 ± 104) ppt. The concentration of ethylene gas in the soil during the rainy season based on the variations in soil depth were (0.18 ± 0.04) ppm for a depth of 0 cm (ground level), (0.17 ± 0.04) ppm for a depth of 15 cm from the ground, and (0.15 ± 0.03) ppm for the depth of 30 cm from the ground. Based on the variations of location of soil, the obtained values were (0.19 ± 0.04) ppm, (0.18 ± 0.04) ppm, and (0.15 ± 0.03) ppm respectively for locations in the North, Center and South were taken around the Biology forest of Gadjah Mada University, which is situated in the western part of the Faculty of Biology and northern section of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. It was concluded that the concentration of ethylene gas in the soil during the rainy season was not significantly affected by depth and location factors.
