Abstract

This study investigates the mood choice used by Indonesian English foreign language learners. The data were the spoken utterances of simulated conversation by four graduate students of English Education Department. The data were transcribed, encoded, analyzed, and interpreted based on the taxonomy of mood system, within the framework of Hallidays systemic functional linguistics, as proposed mainly by Eggins and Slade (1997) and Eggins (2004). Findings revealed that there are six types of moods, namely declarative, tagged declarative, polar interrogative, wh-interrogative, imperative, and exclamative. In addition, there are non-mood clause, namely minor clause, nonfinite clause, and incomplete clause. The dominant findings of numbers of declarative moods suggested that the exchanges of information dominate the conversation. Also, this may indicates the levels of participants competence in using casual English in foreign language context.

Abstract

this research aims to explore authentic material oriented tasks  in the two selected textbooks for 10th grade of Senior High School in Indonesia. The is qualitative research using the document analysis. The data were collected from two textbooks, i.e., "Bahasa Inggris Kelas X" (Book 1) published by The Ministry of Education and Culture and "Bahasa dan Sastra Inggris Kelas X" (Book 2) published by Yrama Widya. The authentic tasks in the textbooks were analyzed based on skill focus, principles used, and sources used. The result shows that only a few tasks are authentic in both textbooks. Only 5 out of 287 tasks are authentic in Book 1. Book 2 has slightly more authentic tasks. 10 out of 211 tasks are authentic in Book 2. Book 1 focuses on reading skills (71%) whereas Book 2 focuses on writing skills (90%). In terms of the principles used, the result shows that both books use slightly different principles. Book 1 uses the principles of ‘having a real/genuine communicative purpose’ and ‘using real/fact information’ while Book 2 focuses on ‘using a real fact and information’. Moreover, the sources used in authentic material-oriented tasks particularly found in Book 1 are printed media and internet devices while in Book 2, internet devices are mostly used as the source. In conclusion, both English textbooks provide less authentic material-oriented tasks than pedagogical tasks.

Abstract

One of the paramount aspects of acquiring a language is mastering the vocabulary. One way to enrich our vocabulary is by familiarizing ourselves with word formation process. This study aimed to investigate students’ familiarity with a word formation process called conversion. This was a descriptive quantitative study. Using Google Forms, the researchers distributed a questionnaire containing statements on conversion to collect data. The participants were 10 first year students of the English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) of Sanata Dharma University, Yogyakarta. The researchers calculated the students’ correct and incorrect answers. Results showed that most of the students were unfamiliar with conversion, one of the word formation processes, especially the conversion involving verbs to nouns (50%) and adjectives to nouns (50%). Most students were knowledgeable about the conversion from nouns to verbs (80%). One of the implications is that ELESP students study conversion, one of the word formation processes in English, to enrich their vocabulary items.
