Abstract

Various factors influence students' motivation to learn a foreign language. As a country that has never been invaded by other countries and in which Thai is the official language and English is the only foreign language taught in schools, the study of students' motivation to learn English is worthwhile researching. The goal of this study was to find out what motivated students to learn English and how that desire manifested in classroom activities. Qualitative case study was employed in this study. Three data gathering procedures were used to acquire data i.e. questionnaire, observation, and semi-structured interview. To determine their motivation, 17 fifth-grade pupils at Lantaratprachautit School in Thailand were recruited to fill out a closed-ended questionnaire which was adapted from Gardner's Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB). Three students with varying levels of motivation were observed in order to determine how motivation was reflected in the English classroom. In addition, to triangulate the data in this study, a semi-structured interview was undertaken. The majority of the participants were assessed as having poor motivation, which was consistent with their classroom engagement. Finally, students' interest and participation in classroom activities in the English teaching-learning process represented their motivation in English language learning.

Abstract

Human’s head takes the most important part in human’s part of body which leads to the frequent use of  head in language uses. This study therefore aims to investigate how head is conceptualized through the use of metaphor in Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) and how the conceptual metaphors are projected through image schemas. The data were obtained  from Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) as a rich data sources relevant to the study. This study applied qualitative descriptive study through the framework of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT)  proposed by Lakoff and Johnson (2008). Sentences which contain head metaphors were selected, analyzed, and categorized to relevant conceptual metaphors through the bridge of mappings to characterize the relationship between two concepts (source and target domains) in the metaphorical process and image schemas.  The findings of the study showed that head is mostly metaphorically used as a container which is conceptualized as a head is a container.The most image schemas used are containment schemas which show in-out,  full-empty,  and surface schemas. The image-schemas have indeed been shown to likely become the basis of numerous metaphorical constructions and have been helpful to understand how people cognize their world.

Results show that both male and female use interactive metadiscourse markers in the essays that consist of transitions, frame markers, and code glosses, while interactional metadiscourse markers consist of hedges, boosters, attitude markers, self-mention, and engagement markers. Male students tend to use metadiscourse markers lower than female students but they use similar pattern of the markers. Only for self-mention items that is used higher by male students. The uses of metadiscourse markers have a significant role in organizing and producing of written essays to achieve certain communicative purposes.

Abstract

There are three structures of academic essay: introductory, body, and concluding paragraphs. This research puts its focus on the introductory paragraph. The objective of this research is to analyze students’ introductory paragraph in writing academic essay in forms of the analysis of the general statements and thesis statement. This research was qualitative research and the data was collected from students’ writing. The respondents of this research were third semester students of English literature study program. The result of the analysis shows that most of the students’ essay (90,7%) put general statements on introductory paragraph. It shows good result in practice because students already know the importance of general statements in introductory paragraph. Students comprehend and implement the main function of general statements, i.e. to attract the reader’s attention. In addition, it was also revealed that there were 68,5% of the students’ essay put thesis statement on introductory paragraph. The result is quite satisfying, although there are some of the essays not contain thesis statement. Indeed, thesis statement is important in writing introductory paragraph because it functions to state the specific subdivisions of the topic and/or the “plan” of the paper.
