Abstract

Run-on and fragment sentences provide clues as to how English learners understand English sentences and how English learners organize information and shape their essays. This research was based on a group case study of run-on and fragment sentences in English college students’ essays, using an English Sentence Completeness approach to investigate how English college students make an error on making a sentence in their English essays and discusses the further pedagogical implications based on the errors pattern found. English college students were found to do run-on in their sentences more often than fragments. They write more than one subject and one verb in a sentence and significantly forget to limit their sentences. The carelessness in punctuation and a period between sentences make the sentence permitted to “run on” into the next. Besides run-on, fragments were also found in students’ essays: Missing subject and verb conditions are significantly found in the students’ sentences. These findings revealed that English college students lack knowledge of how to make complete sentences in ordering information and building up a text’s structure. Therefore the learning process of English writing should be informed of the importance of English sentence completeness in organizing a text and introduce the strategies for avoiding and making less run-on and fragment sentences through practice activities and writing assignments. This research is qualitative descriptive-explorative research where descriptive and explorative are intended to describe and explain the situation based on collected data and facts, which are then analyzed and arranged systematically to get conclusions in detail to be a hypothesis.

Abstract

This research aims to show how Gerda Wegener, as a supporting character in The Danish Girl film could give the biggest contribution into the main character’s  transition  from  Einar  Wegener  (male)  to  Lili  Elbe  (female) through  Gerda’s  character  and  personality  depicted  in  the  film.  This research uses descriptive qualitative method. To support the analysis, the writer uses the theory of the Big Five personality factors, characterization, and altruism. The result of this research shows that Gerda’s character and personality  are  found  to  be  the  main  cause  of  the  conflict  that  occurred in  the  film,  on  how  the  main  character,  Einar  Wegener  in  overcoming his gender dyphoria to fully transformed into a woman named Lili Elbe. This research discovered that, based on the Big Five personality factors; Gerda’s  personality  in  agreeableness  and  openness  are  highly  relatable in influencing Lili’s transition. Moreover, Gerda’s behavior in altruism is also found to be the main reason on why she chose to support the main character’s gender transition despite the huge loss upon her. In conclusion, Gerda Wegener as a supporting character played the biggest role in stirring the plot by her influence in supporting Einar Wegener’s gender transition. It  also  shows  that  it  is  possible  for  someone  to  be  so  selfless  when  it comes to the person they adore. Finally, it gives a new perspective on how significant the role of a supporting characters are in a film based on their character and personality.

Abstract

Several students do not show their positive attitude in studying literature because they are getting difficulties engaging with the materials and the literary texts that are provided by the teachers. Other than that, there are various factors that influence the students not to show their positive attitude to the study of literature. Therefore, this article attempts to elaborate on two main factors that influence student attitudes in studying literature in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom and offer the strategies used to improve student attitudes in studying literature. Two main factors that affect their attitude toward the study of literature are the selection of literary texts and the teaching method used by the teachers. Thus this article elaborates on how to select the appropriate literary text to improve student attitudes toward the study of literature. Also, it offers two possibilities of teaching methods that are used to encourage the students in studying literature. It involves reading response and visual aids. To generalize the idea, in increasing student attitudes in studying literature, it needs creativity and much effort for the teachers. Students also face many difficulties in studying literature in the classroom. Thus, educators should be aware of the problems that arise among the students and provide the appropriate solution to them.

Abstract

This research aims to show how Jude, as a Syrian character in Other Words For Home, interprets the notion of a home and how it explicitly opposes American Exceptionalism. The writer chooses the study of home in the novel to enhance the analysis of Other Words for Home, which generally focuses on the novel's Syrian character. This research uses postcolonial diasporic criticism especially hybridity and cultural identity as the concept in Other Words for Home. The home is not only a place of immigrants for the diaspora but is related geographically and psychologically. For diasporas, the home has become a wounded concept that forces them to deal with scars, blisters and sores, and psychic traumas while on the move. Warga tells the story of Syrian immigrants who moved to America due to the political turmoil in Syria. She portrays racism, alienation, and prejudice as a black spectacle in which Jude becomes a victim. Jude is depicted as a teenager struggling to acculturate herself in in-between spaces between homeland and hostland. It creates a hybrid identity. Jude's hybrid identity is manifested by her use of mixed dialects in daily conversation, behavior, and triumph. This study demonstrates that identity is a fluid concept. Furthermore, through this hybrid identity Jude challenges the dominance of American Exceptionalism in the US and in the world regarding Arab Muslims.

Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to present how the interference of an individual's mother tongue hinders in acquiring a second language, which leads to Interlingual errors. It is an observation that the speakers also commit those errors which have no influence of the mother tongue but are a result of the target language which are called Intralingual errors. This paper particularly focuses on how the Maithili language (LI) acts as a hindrance for the Maithili ESL learners to acquire the target language, that is, the English language (L2). The survey also displays the traces of Intralingual errors in the responses of the speakers, who are committing grammatical errors in speaking the English language (L2). The analysis and evaluation of the results that have been procured through the digital questionnaire survey conducted has been displayed in this paper. The general survey shows that people admitted making grammatical errors while speaking both native and second language and it can be inferred from the specific survey that the same respondents have committed errors in more than half of the questions given to them. The objective of the paper is not only to show the various reasons which lead the Maithili ESL speakers to commit errors while speaking or writing the English language but also to profuse remedies to overcome these barriers. It can be concluded from the entire research that the hypothesis is justified and there is a scope for remedial measures to correct the situation.

Abstract

This study aims: 1) to reveal types of code mixing that appeared in the Bulan Terbelah di Langit Amerika 2 movie and 2) to find out factors that cause code mixing in this movie. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method. In collecting data, this research applied note-taking as an instrument. To obtain data, the dialogues of the characters were analyzed thoroughly. Researchers implemented the theory of code-mixing by Muysken (2000) to find the types and the view of code-mixing factors from Hoffman (1991) for the analysis. The research results revealed three types of code mixing contained in this movie. They are insertion type (7 data or 29.17%), alternation type (12 data or 50%), and congruent lexicalization type (5 data or 20.83%). In addition, factors of code-mixing are also found in this movie. They are the lexical needs factor (9 data or 37.5%), emphasize something factor (3 data or 12.5%), talking about a particular topic factor (5 data or 20.83%), repetition used for clarification factor (2 data or 16.64%), soften or strengthen request or command factor (2 data or 8.33%, and expressing group identity factor (1 data or 4.16%). The most common form of code-mixing in this film is alternation when one language is used to fill in for another's lexical gaps throughout a conversation. They spoke in turn, and researchers found that a single sentence may be expressed in two languages with vastly different grammatical structures.

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the verbal and nonverbal signs on the Titanic movie poster. It is expected to provide information about verbal and non-verbal signs and how they describe the content of that movie.
