Abstract

There have been many researches on online language learning, especially online writing. Yet, research describing a reflection after experimenting with online writing to students is still under-investigated. To fill this gap, this paper aimed to inform the reflection of the researchers for the last three years conducting online writing exchange. The reflections came from the researchers’ view and students' views regarding the writing exchange program. The research design was narrative inquiry. The data were garnered from the researchers’ experiences and students’ interviews. The results of reflection revealed Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT). The strengths are flip classroom, flexibility for the teacher, motivation to write, writing practice, and interaction. The weaknesses are able to write a post after the deadline, unaltered topics in stage, unavailable notification of reply, a difficult operationalized website, and a short deadline. The opportunities are adding other countries from other continents, extending the collaboration into a full semester, and adding online chat on the website. The threats are less active participation from students and less active buddy.

Abstract

It seems that many young children may not comprehend the word-reference relationship even though they can produce the words accurately. Since it happens, the children may face the situation known as over-generalization, under-generalization, and no-generalization. This study aims to get an in-depth understanding of over-generalization, under-generalization, and no-generalization on a child’s language acquisition. The method of research was a case study. The subject of research was a two-year-old child. Data of research were collected from the result of participant observation and documentation of speech transcription. Data analysis of this research covered data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The result shows that (1) over-generalization, under-generalization, and no-generalization occur when the subject aged 26 to 30 months; (2) at aged 32 months, those errors are finally revealed since the subject can manage his cognitive development and conceptualize his semantic-reference relationship for particular properties; and (3) this also proves that environment has a massive role to support and stimulate a child in acquiring and producing his language

WhatsApp-based speaking test was one of the technology-enhanced assessment methods that became an option for more practical assessment.  It was a descriptive qualitative study that was conducted by investigating 145 non-English university students in Indonesia. Data collecting instruments were observation, documentation, and open-ended questionnaires. Then, the data analysis used descriptions on each category. The result exposed that 50.3% of the overall student was somewhat satisfied with the implementation of the WhatsApp-based speaking test. The study reported five significant students’ positive responses to the test.  Those positive responses were that it was considered as a fun-based test. It created an opportunity for the students to improve their language performance, it was also a time-saving test and it built a test environment that was less pressured and less anxious for the students. Then, the test was more appropriate for the students who belonged to the post-millennial generation. Also, the next finding of this study revealed three students’ negative responses towards the implementation of WhatsApp-based speaking tests in English classes. Those three prominent responses were the students disturbed by the noisy atmosphere during the test, the students encountered some technical problems on the test, and the students were still quite nervous during the test due to it was their first experience in doing the WhatsApp-based speaking test.

Abstract

Subject-verb agreement is relevant in determining one's grammatical ability. The study examines the 70 English major students of UNTIRTA through a questionnaire. They are in semester four or second-year students of the academic year 2019-2020. A percentage result per item has been the indicator of students' knowledge on the five categories namely; the basics, impersonal subjects, quantities, exceptions, and main and auxiliary verbs. The verification of the incorrect response is through the short-written production of students' composition. Not only nouns that used as subjects but also other parts of speech and unit blocks of syntax.  It reveals that a lot of students commit mistakes in choosing the right verb that agrees to the subject. This finding implies interference of first language and second language as parcel in mastering the subject-verb agreement which results to struggle and confusion among the learners. Lack of emphasis on grammar practice in writing is also a reason in applying the rules especially the basics. Moreover, cultural difference is a barrier in interpreting the sentences wherein the learners’ vocabulary is limited. Suggested instructional strategy is a regular practice of the rules in the form of drill.

Abstract

In 2019, a rape case involving two students of UGM went viral. After being headlines in many news articles, the case was settled in February, and one of the newspapers which cover this news is The Jakarta Post who released an article entitled ‘UGM settles alleged sexual abuse case’. Through systemic functional grammar, this study attempts at analyzing the transitivity processes and participants in the article, and it aims at describing how it signifies the power relation and representation in the article. This is a qualitative study which applied critical discourse analysis, and the data used are sentences and clauses taken from the news article. To analyze the data, the researcher applied Halliday’s transitivity theory and Fairclough’s theory on power and representation. The results of the study reveal that there is an unequal representation in the article where it gives more opportunities for UGM to deliver their statement and argument since UGM holds more power than the other participants.
