Abstract

Writing is not a spontaneous ability in language learning because it requires both editing and revising, and thus making this skill perceived as an easy task. Students could use a dictionary to help them use a foreign language on any occasion. Nonetheless, these activities may result in several errors in students' writing assignments. Relating to this situation, this study aims at identifying the students’ problems and their grammatical errors during the process of academic writing. In this study, mix-methods were applied in which vocational college students’ writings were documented and interview with the students was conducted. The data on students’ grammatical errors were collected, transcribed, analyzed, and interpreted. The findings show that the students’ errors laid on tense (38.0%), preposition (11.7%), article (11.4%), conjunction (11.4%), omission (8.9%), subject-verb agreement (6.3%) and adverb (2.5%). Meanwhile, based on the interview, to facilitate language competence, a translation tool such as Google translate was routinely used by most of the students (81.8%) during the writing completion. Although applying a translation tool in writing, the majority of the students (73%) thought it is a hard skill, and 18% of them believed that the writing process is the most difficult in language activities.

Abstract

This article aims at investigating the vocabulary learning strategies of EFL learners at tertiary level. Since the students are required to pass English as a required subject in Indonesian tertiary education, exploring vocabulary strategies attracts more attention from teachers and practitioners. A survey approach was carried out in conducting this research. The present study involved 120 non-English major participants to fill out a questionnaire consisting of four vocabulary learning strategies: cognitive, metacognitive, memory, and determination strategies. The data of this research were descriptively analysed to reveal the vocabulary learning strategies used by EFL learners at tertiary level. This study reveals that the cognitive strategy is the most frequently strategy used. The respondents use new words in a sentence to remember them from time to time. While the least frequently strategy used is making a mental image to remember the words. The findings of the study might give an insight for English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers and practitioners to consider changes and adjustments to their pedagogical practice.
