Abstract

This study was aimed at analyzing the similarities and differences between English and Indonesian essays made by EFL undergraduate students. The problems rise from the transfer of first language (L1) cultural conventions to second language (L2) performance. Three rhetorical aspects: general patterns of thought (linear or non-linear), development of ideas, and coherence were compared and analyzed by using content analysis. The results of the analysis showed that EFL students devoted similar rhetoric features in writing English and Indonesian essays. The rhetoric similarity was shared in the use of linearity and non-linearity of ideas, the development of ideas in the whole essays as well as the coherence quality.

Abstract

The present paper outlines a self introspective undertaking germane to the issue of rhetorical awareness. This issue is imbricated in the realm of academic writing in English (particularly, English as a foreign language). As a self retrospective endeavor, the paper starts with some personal account undergirding the writing of the present paper. Some self delineation teasing out the context for the rhetorical awareness will also be presented. Some attempts to read the main issue raised in the paper against the backdrop of the wider context (within the gamut of ELT) will conclude the paper.

Abstract

As checklists developed for textbook evaluation are question-able in terms of reliability and validity, other ways are being sought to bring about more systematic, efficient and objective evaluation instruments, which can provide greater insight into the strengths and weak-nesses of textbooks. With this in mind, the researchers explored the abilities of WordSmith 3.0, a concordance software, in providing some insights into the structure of textbooks. This study will provide findings on data WordSmith 3.0 generates automatically and semi-automatically, and how this information could be used in the evaluation of textbooks.

Abstract

Education policies and curricula provide the context and specific expectations that drive student learning and achievement towards a sustainable future. The underlying policies and practices in the EFL classrooms do not always match consistently. There is an emerging need to counterbalance the power of policymakers in ensuring that balanced, pedagogically sound education policies and EFL curriculum are produced, carried out, and monitored. As one of civil society organizations, TEFLIN is well positioned to serve that mission. TEFLIN may take the initiative to engage in the EFL curriculum review project, EFL curriculum design, and reform in EFL teacher education and certification.
READING UP THE VERSE PATTERN OF ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING’S HOW DO I LOVE THEE? Ariya Jati

Abstract

Reading a poem is systematic, distinctive and patterned. Written as a sonnet, How do I Love Thee? is akin to neither Shakespearean nor Petrarchan sonnet. The verse pattern of the sonnet is typical: it is composed of two quatrains and one sestet, rhyming in abba abba ababab. Each iambic pentameter line of the sonnet is isochronous. The alliteration and assonance associate the words deployed to express the greatness of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s feeling of love.

Abstract

This study investigated learners’ perspectives on how a teacher explanation can facilitate or hinder their learning. The results suggested that teacher’s use of mixed L1 and L2 in an explanation is preferred by most student-respondents since it can expedite their learning. Using only L2 is also preferred because students believe that it gives them more exposure to English and as English department students, they have to use English. It, however, can impede learning when teachers use difficult words or complicated grammar. In this condition, using simple language helps students understand an explanation. Despite teacher’s use of language, learners’ perspectives on teacher’s behaviors when explaining showed that rapid speaking rate can hinder the process of internalizing an explanation. Conversely, slowing down speech rate can promote a comprehensible input. Toward the use of examples, using examples from daily life is more preferred than the ones presented in the text book since such examples are easy to remember and understand. Lastly, teacher’s use of humor is perceived to motivate student’s learning through relaxed and enjoyable atmospheres. It also helps remember language chunks through which it will be an intake. However, humor can obstruct learning if students focus more on the humor than the lesson.

Abstract

This is a report of a qualitative study on contrastive thought patterns of Indonesian bilingual writers. The data are the thought patterns reflected in the linguistic features in English and Indonesian letters. The results reveal that rhetorical organizations developed and organized in both letters are similar in three ways. The paragraphs in both letters indicate similarities in terms of coherence. Three ways of sentence construction are found; four different shifts in grammatical style are made by the writers. The diction shows that for the English letters, in addition to using the colloquial lexemes, two kinds of lexemes are found: (a) jargon, and (b) attitudinal. For the Indonesian letters, three kinds of lexemes are found: (a) jargon, (b) attitudinal, (c) for-mality. In general, the results show that a large number of Indonesian letters follow quasi-linear thought patterns (QL), while a small number still follow the non-linear thought patterns (NL). For the English letters, the results reveal that the most percentage is converged on the line of category linear (L); less percentage is on category QL.

Abstract

The study is an attempt to empirically examine factors that differentiate EFL readers with different EFL reading proficiency levels. Four selected factors believed to play a role in reading comprehension are considered, namely: linguistic knowledge, reading strategies, text structure knowledge, content and world background knowledge. Discriminant analysis was employed to scrutinize the data collected on these variables. The analysis wraps up, revealing that advanced EFL readers, while they are sufficiently equipped with formal schemata that necessarily embrace both linguistic knowledge and text structure knowledge, can be speculated to consist of three groups: those who fail to activate their relevant schemata, those who fail to use their reading strategies, and those who can function both content and world background knowledge and their reading strategies with ease.

Abstract

This study investigated the types and causes of errors in learning the English concord among Indonesian students of English. The errors would be focused on the students’ interlingual (mother tongue) as well as intralingual (learning strategies) interference. The data were all collected from the students at Satya Wacana Christian University, Indonesia. Two research questions were answered: 1) between interlingual and intralingual errors, which one did the participants make more in learning English concord? 2) Among intralingual errors, which source of errors was the most evident? Fifteen students (n = 15) participated in this study. In regard to the data collection and analysis, I used the steps suggested by Corder (1974, in Ellis and Barkhuizen, 2005). The results of this study suggest that the intralingual errors were more significant than interlingual ones in the acquisition of the concord. The results were in line with some of the previous findings found by Bataineh (2005), Chan (2004), Duskova (1983), Lim (2003), and Richards (1983). They also supported the claim in the field of SLA that acquisition of a foreign language is determined by the nature of the language that the learners are learning, rather than through contrast between the learners’ first language and the target language.

Abstract

This study investigates the pragmatic transfer in English request realizations made by EFL learners, i.e. the proficient learners. The subjects were students of an English Study Program who obtained TOEFL-like scores of at least 450. The data were collected by means of DCT-questionnaires and Role-plays. The results show that the subjects realize requests in the form of external modifications more frequently. Most of them embed their requests with supportive moves dominantly. They enfold the acts with the moves before, after or in both positions. Of the three positions, they mostly insert the moves initial position, i.e., through inductive patterns. This is due to pragmatic transfer.
