<![CDATA[Lexical bundles is a combination of words which consists of three or even more words that frequently occur together in particular registers. It is seen as an important aspect that should be mastered in order to create a qualified text. This study aims at analyzing the lexical bundles used in findings and discussion sections of graduate students’ thesis in terms of structures, functions, and the role of lexical bundles in forming coherence of the students’ texts. This study employs qualitative approach. The data are taken from 10 Chapter IV, Findings and Discussion of graduate students’ thesis. In the process of analysis, the researcher uses three instruments in the form of tables to collect and analyze the lexical bundles manually based on the structures of lexical bundles proposed by Biber, et. al. (1999), and the functions of lexical bundles proposed by Hyland (2008) framework. There are 74 lexical bundles found in the students’ texts. The findings reveals that first, the lexical bundles found in the students’ texts make use of all the twelve structural forms and the most dominantly used is structure type 4 other prepositional phrase (fragment); second, the lexical bundles found in the students’ texts serve all of the three functional types and the most dominantly used is text-oriented function and third, the lexical bundles found in the students’ texts have an important role in forming coherence of the texts. It indicates that the lexical bundles make use of two coherence items such as reference and transition signals.]]>

<![CDATA[In classroom interaction, we sometimes find misunderstanding between teacher and student or among the students. Grice said that cooperative principles can lead the speakers and hearers to uncooperative conversation and misunderstanding about the message delivered (Grice: 1989). Based on that theory, an investigation about observance and non-observance of the maxim should be done to understand how they apply the cooperative principles in classroom interaction. The objective of the studies are: (1) to analyze EFL classroom interaction in order to explain the way cooperative principles are applied, (2) to analyze EFL classroom interaction in order to explain the way participants violate the maxim (3) to analyze the most frequent violation in non-observance of the maxim. In this study, I use descriptive qualitative method. The data of this study was the transcription of EFL classroom interaction between teacher and students. The interaction was natural interaction without any intervention from me. The findings of this research showed that teachers and students not only observed the maxim but also violate the maxim in the EFL classroom interaction.]]>

<![CDATA[The present study was a part of larger research aimed at analysing the research article abstracts taken from International Conference on Science and Education and Technology 2018 (ISET 2018). This study was descriptive study under SFL analysis in research article abstracts at 2018 ISET realized from 170 clause complexes. Under a SFL theory, the data were collected through retrieving twenty relevant article abstracts on the International Conference on Science and Education and Technology 2018 (ISET 2018). The article abstracts are analysed using the framewok of systemic functional linguistic as suggested by Halliday & Matthiessen (2014). However, in this study the writer employs the taxis sytems which covers elaboration, extension, and enhancement. Besides, logico-semantic relation is also analysed which covers projection and expansion. The findings reveal that there are 81 clause complexes of parataxis which are realised 47%, afterwards, there are 35 clause complexes of hypotaxis which are realised 20.5%. Hence, the researchers is more using parataxis then hypotaxis. Bassed on the findings, it is recommended that English teacher can apply clause constructions to encourage the English learners to think critically. After being able to implement their critical thinking, the English learners are hoped to be able to read critically. Through having critical reading, they are suggested to be able to evaluate both their works and the other works as the main purpose in learning systemic functional linguistics.]]>

<![CDATA[The present study is aimed at investigating the impact of code switching realized in the conversation of “Nebeng Boy†youtube vlog. This qualitative research is conducted by observing and analysing the conversations from four downloaded video as the data which then transcribed them in a written form. The data analysis also included the types and the functions of code switching which occurred in those four transcribed conversations in order to ease the researcher in determining the impact. The finding shows that intra-sentential code switching is the most frequent type and repetition is the most frequent function of code switching which occurred, and the impact is that the participants experienced language loss and language gain as the result of bilingualism through code switching. The English ability that is improving, results in the loss of Indonesian language ability. Bilingualism and oppression of using English language are external factors that also result code switching, which is then give impact to the loss of language that participants have learned before. The findings in this study indicated that three types of code-switching found in the conversations; inter-sentential code-switching (31.3%), intra-sentential code-switching (41.9%), and emblematic/ tag switching (26.8%). The participants also used code-switching for various functions. The most significant function was repetition which got the highest percentage (18.5%) among the other functions of code-switching in four transcribed conversations. It is also found that code-switching brought impact to the participants in term od language capabilities. It resulted in the loss of Indonesian language and the gain of English ability. The most significant factors that cause language loss and language gain were the bilingual settings they experienced and the oppression to use the English language in their daily life to communicate with others. An interesting phenomenon of code-switching that occurred in the bilingual community was shown in the analysis and findings. It is proven that the participants in this study performed code-switching as one of the strategies in communication. The existence of code-switching also open up a realistic view that by using alternative languages, it helps to reduce the gap of misunderstanding in a conversation, so that the intimacy or solidarity can be built among the participants]]>

<![CDATA[Web comic is one of media of communication that can attract both children and adults. It may contain humor. Humor itself may be created by flouting the cooperative principles. This study aimed to explore the types of maxims flouting of Grice’s maxims in Pearls before Swine web comic and their contributions to create humor in the comic. This study was descriptive qualitative research in the form of discourse analysis. 30 episodes of the comic were used as data. The data were then collected and analyzed under three big steps proposed by Miles and Huberman (1994, p. 10). The results of the study revealed that all types of maxims were flouted in web comic. The most prominent flouting was the flouting of relevance maxim, then followed by the flouting of quantity maxim, manner maxim, and quality maxim became the least maxim that was flouted. Maxim of quality contributed to create humor as in the flouting there were sarcastic words which were intentionally used to trigger funny situation. The use of flouting of quantity maxim was indicated on the use of exaggeration which enhanced the information and blown thing up beyond the response needed. Relevance maxim was flouted by using both facetiousness and repartee. Meanwhile, in the flouting of manner maxim, the contributions were on the use of insult and pun.]]>

<![CDATA[This study was a discourse analysis aimed to investigate the use of cohesive devices in English education journal articles written by graduate students of UNNES. The objectives of this study are to analyze cohesive devices in the article in order to explain the use of references in journal articles written by graduate students of UNNES, to analyze cohesive devices in the article in order to explain the use of substitutions in journal articles written by graduate students of UNNES, to analyze cohesive devices in the article in order to explain the use of ellipses in journal articles written by graduate students of UNNES, to analyze cohesive devices in the article in order to explain the use of conjunctions in journal articles written by graduate students of UNNES, to analyze cohesive devices in the article in order to explain the use of reiterations in journal articles written by graduate students of UNNES, to analyze cohesive devices in the article in order to explain the use of collocations in journal articles written by graduate students of UNNES. The objects of this research were English journal articles which are written by graduate students of UNNES. The 15 English education journal articles were analyzed using Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) theory. The results of this study showed that graduate students of UNNES used 6 types of cohesive devices, namely repetition, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, reiteration, and collocation. References were more frequently than the other cohesive devices. On the other hand, the undergraduate students of UNNES rarely used substitution and ellipsis to achieve their writing.]]>

<![CDATA[This study is aimed at examining teachers’ perceptions, plans, and practices on teaching vocabulary in context at SMP N 1 Parakan. A case study was employed to describe the phenomena happened in this study. Two teachers were selected to become participants of the study. The data gathered through questionnaire, interview, observations, and document analysis. The result showed that both teachers had good perception on teaching vocabulary. Both teachers perceived that vocabulary became the important aspects in English in enabling the English skills both receptive (listening and reading) and productive (speaking and writing). In planning vocabulary teaching, both teachers planned their teaching by involving some elements of vocabulary material in the lesson plans. Teachers inserted vocabulary material, list of vocabulary, and activities to learn vocabulary. However, teachers did not provide certain strategy applied in the classroom. In the real practices in the classroom, the teachers applied a direct method while teaching vocabulary by providing students a list vocabulary. This direct vocabulary learning built a large recognition of vocabulary for students. Relating to the alignment and misalignment of teachers’ perception, plans and practices on teaching vocabulary, it was revealed that those aspects were aligned proved by teachers had good perception, plans and practices on teaching vocabulary. It was expected for further research to continue this study by adding another subject such as students so that it will give another perspective.]]>

<![CDATA[This study analysed the thematic structure in English-Indonesian translation of the movie subtitles entitled Flipped in order to explain the shift and modulation occurrences from the source text (ST) to the target text (TT). This research was initiated by the issue that Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) theory was possible to apply in translation research. This study was a descriptive qualitative research. The subjects of the study were the dialogues (English script and Indonesian subtitles) and the objects were the Thematic Structure Elements (Textual, Interpersonal, and Experiential Themes) of the movie. The findings showed that there were 259 shifts occurred within Textual Theme’s components, Interpersonal Theme’s components, Topical Theme’s components, Theme’s components, and between Theme-Rheme. Those indicated some shift and modulation types. There were 232 shifts found for 5 shift types and 40 shifts found for 6 modulation types. Moreover, there were two shift categories found (double changes). There were 23 shifts for 7 double changes categories. From this new categories, I inferred that it was possible if two types of shift or one type of shift + one type of modulation were together transform a sentence. On the other hand, it was impossible for two types of modulation were found in a sentence. In conclusion, Theme as the beginning of a sentence can be used as the first detector of the shift occurrence from ST to TT. We can see either the structure shift or the perspective shift from it. Therefore, translators and language learners can be helped by seeing this movement.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to investigate how teachers perceive, plan and implement portfolio assessment in students’ writing assessment. a acse study as a part of qualitative reserch design is employed in this study. The study involved an English teacher of SMP N 8 Semarang (#T2) and an English teacher of SMA N 2 Semarang (#T1). The data were gathered through questionnaire, interview, observation and documents analysis. From the results of analysis, the study revealed that both teachers had positive perception of portfolio assessment in students’ writing assessment. That was indicated from their agreement and positive thoughts on portfolio development and implementation, its effectiveness as an educational tool and its influence on the instructional practices, teacher and students’ roles and responsibilities during the portfolio development. Unfortunately, their portfolio knowledge was insufficient. The two partcipants lesson plans analysis showed that teachers have unplanned portfolio development. That was seen from their lesson plans which portfolio steps and rubric could not be found. Teachers portfolio development and implementation run less succesfully. That was because teachers lack of preparation of the portfolio, the absence of students’ self-assessment or reflection and there was no clear rubric of assessment that teachers prepared. Time management, storage and portfolio rubric became the main problems that teachers faced during their journey in developing portfolio. Furthermore, teachers’ positive perception was not aligned with their portfolio plan. Misalignment also found between teachers’ good perception with their classroom practices. That was because teachers missed several essential elements of portfolio. One of the factor is because teachers have insufficient portfolio knowledge. Some training and workshops as well as individual professional development were needed for the teachers in order to improve their professional development.]]>
