Abstract

This research analyzed the way spontaneity and interactivity realized within the students' transactional conversation. The study participants were the students of the Petroleum study program of P.E.M. Akamigas Cepu, Central Java. As a discourse study, this research analyzed five conversations carried out by five groups of students of the Petroleum study program. The data were collected through audio recordings. The recorded files were further transcribed, and the researchers selected, counted, and reported the written data based on the transcription. The transcription of the students' conversation recording was then analyzed to find its spontaneity and interactivity features, referring to the suggestions by Thornburry and Slade (2006). The result of the analysis of students’ conversation recording showed that chunks were the most frequent spontaneity feature found within students' conversation, followed by conjunctions and filled pauses. Students use chunks to recall a typical combination of words quickly. As for the interactivity features, the most commonly found part was the discourse marker followed by questions and interaction signal. The students used Discourse markers to keep the information flowing during the conversation. Spontaneity and interactivity features were indeed found and used by the students for specific purposes, and it is suggested to expose learners to the appropriate use of spontaneity and interactivity. This research provides insight for E.S.P. teachers to develop their teaching beyond language content that helps the learners to participate in an actual discourse

Abstract

Discourse is unquestionably constructed with what is presumed as lexical bundle, and in each genre, it idiosyncratically occurs. Thus, the identification of idiosyncrasy of a particular genre would be beneficial for some parties in forming a decent and appropriate discourse. This study aims to explain the construction and function of lexical bundles including bundles which do not fit to theories used in this study. This is corpus-based research. Four-word bundles extracted from 50 chosen articles in EEJ using Antcont 3.5.8 were analyzed accordance with the structure of lexical bundle theory by Biber et. al (1999) and the function of lexical bundle theory by Conrad & Biber (2005). The result showed that (1) the constructions realized in the genre are noun phrase with of-phrase fragment, anticipatory it + verb phrase/adjective phrase, (Verb phrase +) that-clause fragment, copula be + noun phrase/adjective phrase, other prepositional phrase, and prepositional phrase with embedded of-phrase fragment. (2) The functions realized are stance expression, referential expression, and discourse organizer. (3) The excluded structures realized are noun phrase with gerund as modifier and noun phrase with and conjunction in between. (4) The excluded function is to express an entity. This research provides educational department academics variety of expressions for their academic discourse organizations and other researchers new findings concerning other lexical bundles’s structures and functions apart from the theorists.

Abstract

Conversation Analysis is an issue of Pragmatics. It is a way to analyze a conversation by its elements, such as turn-taking and adjacency pair produced by the speakers. In this present study, we conducted research in the field of conversation analysis. More specifically, we investigated the adjacency pair patterns, the meaning of the patterns, and the implicature of the patterns in the spoken interaction of the Ancora Meet discussion with Nadiem Anwar Makarim, Minister of Education and Culture of Indonesia, the Republic of Indonesia. This research investigates how adjacency pairs patterned in Ancora Meet’s interview with Nadiem Anwar Makarim, how meaning is made through the patterns, and how the implicature resulted from using the patterns. This present study used a qualitative method. We found eight patterns of adjacency pair construct in Ancora Meet, and then three maxims were realized in the discussion. This study also reveals some patterns. Individuals prefer to communicate information implicitly rather than explicitly. Particularised dialogue implicature dominance in the discussion is evidence that speakers are connected to the context to implicate utterances in their current conversation. The particularised conversation implicature’s violation of the maxim is evidence of a significant relationship between context and cooperative principles. Conversation implicatures are almost always connected to the context. Finally, we discovered 42 instances of Minister Nadiem’s implicature, demonstrating that, for the most part, conversational implicature is always connected to context. Meanwhile, in practical contribution, this research can be used as a reference in teaching English, especially speaking.

Abstract

In learning a language, students are supposed to study linguistics in order to be able to recognize the root of words, how they are formed, and the context of language. This study aimed to explain the realization of the derivational process, the inflectional process, and the causes of the error in the students’ writing. This study used a descriptive qualitative design. The researchers analyzed the students’ writing essays written by the XII-graders of the Vocational High School Al-Musyaffa Kendal in the academic year 2021/2022. The instruments are document analysis theory and interview. It used the theory of Dulay et.al. (1982). The findings demonstrate that the students made errors that belong to both the derivational and the inflectional processes. Most of the students made errors in the omission of derivation, yet they made fewer errors in the addition and malformation of derivation. Besides, there were many problems in dealing with the inflection. Most of the students were confused about how to deal with the omission of noun inflection and the omission of verb inflection. Nevertheless, they made fewer errors in the misordering of verb inflection. In addition, the cause of the error that the students did was mostly carelessness as it occurs due to students’ lack of motivation and less enthusiasm in engaging in the teaching and learning process. Expectantly, this research will provide an essential contribution as a reference in comprehending word formation and contribute to teaching and learning of forming English words.

Abstract

Online English teaching and learning during the pandemic is challenging for teachers and students. One of the problems encountered by teachers is maintaining students’ involvement in class discussions. To maintain students’ involvement, it is important to implement strategies that meet students’ needs. This study aims at describing students’ objective and subjective needs in learning English. This study was descriptive qualitative in nature. It was conducted at SD Daniel Creative School, Semarang. 184 students and 6 English teachers were involved in this study. This study used a questionnaire, classroom observation sheet, and interview as the instruments. The result revealed that for objective needs, many students still needed help in mastering some areas, such as listening, speaking, reading, writing, vocabulary, and grammar. For subjective needs, many students had low self-confidence and self-esteem in learning English. In addition, the students also mentioned their expectations of teachers’ teaching strategies. The observation showed that the strategies implemented by the teachers were effective to fulfill students’ needs and to encourage their involvement in class discussions. Unfortunately, the teachers did not implement all the strategies consistently to fulfill students’ needs. As the result, students’ involvement was still low. Thus, this study implies a suggestion for English teachers of the school and English teachers, in general, to consistently implement teaching strategies that meet students’ needs to encourage students’ involvement.

Abstract

Studying implicatures cannot be separated from studying pragmatics. Studying pragmatics is studying meaning in context. Understanding meaning in context is very essential in communication. The purpose of the study was to explain the realization of idiosyncratic and formulaic conversational implicatures in listening comprehension section of ‘LONGMAN Preparation Course for the TOEFL Test’. Qualitative research is used to collect data, analyze the data, and take a conclusion based on the analysis of the findings. The type of qualitative study used is content analysis. In a TOEFL book titled LONGMAN Preparation Course for the TOEFL Test, data were implicatures in every conversation covered in the script of the short conversation of listening comprehension section. The researcher found that the four types of idiosyncratic implicature were all in the short conversations of listening comprehension section in the TOEFL book "LONGMAN Preparation Course for the TOEFL Test.” Meanwhile, formulaic implicature that could be found were idiomatic, scalar, sequential, and indirect criticism implicature. However, the other formulaic implicature such as pope-Q and MRR (Minimum Requirement Rule) could not be found. Finally, it is expected that the result of this research can provide scientific information about formulaic and idiosyncratic conversational implicature theory and practically improve students' awareness of formulaic and idiosyncratic implicature. It is also expected that it can help the students to do the listening comprehension section in every TOEFL test. Then, the results of this research can pedagogically be used to understand English better in its actual use and help learners better understand formulaic and idiosyncratic implicature.
