Abstract

Various teaching methods and techniques have been the focus of numerous studies on teaching strategies used to increase students' vocabulary understanding. Few studies, however, have looked at the methods teachers employ to increase their students' vocabulary mastery through retrospective study. This retrospective review of the study collected various types of teaching strategies that benefit teachers. Researchers combined a descriptive method with a qualitative research approach with a questionnaire design for this study. Instruments in this research is a survey in the form of google form. The types of questions in previous research surveys used many types of closed-ended questions in the form of statements. In contrast, the types of questions in this study used many open-ended questions that produced answers consisting of many ideas. Fifteen English teachers who teach English in Medan are the subjects of this study. The result of this research is the strategies used by teachers in teaching student vocabulary mastery are very diverse depending on students' and teachers' abilities. The more diverse the teacher's teaching strategies, the more successfully students will learn new words. The teaching strategy is then divided into three, namely preparation, practice, and evaluation strategies. In the end, it is anticipated that the findings of this study will help teachers succeed in developing their students’ vocabulary mastery.Various teaching methods and techniques have been the focus of numerous studies on teaching strategies used to increase students' vocabulary understanding.

Abstract

Metaphors deal with transferring words to other words by comparing the similarity of its meaning. This study investigated the realization of metaphors and their relationship among the four types in the novel. Lakoff and Johnson; Lakoff and Turner mentioned four metaphors; those are structural metaphors, orientational metaphors, ontological metaphors, and image metaphors. These metaphor categorizations are mentioned in the Contemporary Theory of Metaphors (CTM). The researchers conducted a linguistic analysis of text as the method. To collect the data, the researchers used MIPVU (Metaphor Identification Procedure Vrije Universiteit) in The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. The metaphors which are found were analyzed based on classifications as they are used in the novel. In this study, there are 367 metaphors found in the novel; those are 56 structural metaphors, 40 orientational metaphors, 222 ontological metaphors, 36 image metaphors, and 13 compound metaphors. The most used metaphor in the novel is Ontological metaphor because it has more general specification than other metaphors. The compound metaphors are found based on the relationship of the four types. They are used together to strengthen, clarify, support, complete, and continue each other. The results presented that all of the metaphors are mapped in a proper way. It means they have compatible concepts transferred. Thus, this result can be used by the learners as supporting words to raise the learners' quality of speech.

Abstract

Writing research articles is a 'tradition' conducted by students in every learning activity in higher education. This study aimed to analyze the use of grammatical cohesive devices found in the findings and discussion of research articles written by graduate students of English Education. Discourse analysis was employed as the research design and a descriptive qualitative approach was utilized to elaborate the analysis. Qualitative data in the form of text consisting of sentences and clauses containing cohesion were the primary data in this research. The data were obtained through observation and documentation by conducting a preliminary study, collecting the research articles, and verifying the data. The data were analyzed by identifying, classifying, describing, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed that the students employed all four types of grammatical cohesive devices in the findings and discussion of research articles. The most dominant grammatical cohesive device utilized by the students was reference and conjunction with total use of 2367 and 955 respectively. There was an apparent margin gap between the dominantly used devices and the least employed devices as there were only 5 occurrences of substitution and 12 occurrences of ellipsis. In conclusion, the students preferred to use only two types of grammatical cohesive devices while neglecting the utilization of the other types. Moreover, this study will hopefully provide suggestions for students on how to use grammatical cohesive devices and additional guides for teachers in teaching students on how to compose a well-organized research paper.
