Abstract

In this study, we focused on the influence of social deixis on maintaining the level of politeness. The subject of this study was about speaking classroom activity of the eleventh year students of SMA N 3 Semarang. We intended to prove that social deixis influences the level of politeness and describe what factors influence it. This type of study was qualitative research since we did not collect the numerical data. The data was collected in the form of sentences. Research Method used in this study was a discourse study. In this study, we used the ethnography of communication approach since this study talked about social relation between people. In this study, the students were asked to use the social deixis and the level of politeness appropriately. Furthermore, there were observations, questionnaire and interview as this research instruments. The findings of the study showed that there were three factors that influenced social deixis on maintaining the level of politeness based on the students’ conversation.

Abstract

This research was conducted to observe fourty eight seven graders of SMP N 17 Pekalongan’s pronunciation ability in pronouncing the simple phrases. The participants were divided equally into two groups for the experimental research. The first group used songs in teaching and learning the pronounciation and another group used dialogues. The data of this study were taken from the recorded voice that we transcribed and the teacher’s notes. Based on the transcription we gave the score based on the score rubrics we made before. The analysis was observed quantitively from the recordings, transcription, scores based on the score rubrics from the pre-test and the post-test, and the teacher’s notes which were taken during and after the lesson. We analyze and describe the result based on the data and used SPSS and t-table to analyze the post-test. The result showed that in general, the group used songs produced better result than the group used dialogues. The participants that used songs tended to attend the pronunciation class more willingly and showed more enthusiasm in conducting the activities. Meanwhile the participants that used dialogues were distracted after hearing the songs sung in the group that used songs. It is suggested that teachers must know how to control the situation and to keep the students from disturbing other classes because sometimes singing songs make the students over enthusiastic.

Abstract

This research was to analyze the effectiveness of Interactive Multimedia Instructions (IMIs) in the format of game (GIMI) and in the format of tutorial (TIMI) implemented in Task-Based Learning (TBL) for the students with visual and auditory learning styles in performing writing of a recount text. To obtain the data, the research method of this study was quantitative by using 2x2 factorial experimental research design. The data collection was done by giving the VAK questionnaire and conducting the pre-test and the post-test. The data, then, was analyzed by using t-test and ANOVA. After doing the investigation, it was found that there was significant difference of the students' performance in writing a recount text after learning by using IMIs. It means that the use of IMIs is effective. Then, there was an interaction between the implementation of TBL by using such media and the students’ learning styles in getting their writing performance. Even though, it did not give significant influence. Thus, it can be concluded that although the interaction among those variables did not give significant influence, the use of IMIs exactly made their learning result effective both for the students with visual and auditory learning styles.

Abstract

Writing as the productive skill is considered to be more difficult than any other productive skill. Students face difficulties and commit errors in many different writing skills, especially in mechanics (punctuation, capitalization, and spelling).The study examined the errors of writing skill that face first year English college students of Al-Merghib University in related to the three mechanics. There were thirty participants of different genders in the study. They were thirteen males and seventeen females who studies in the first year of English college in Al-Meghib University. To achieve the objectives of the study, qualitative design was employed. The data was collected using two methods: 1) questionnaire to check the participants' knowledge about the punctuation, capitalization, and spelling usage and 2) a test to analyze these errors in the respondents' written language. To analyze the data, simple statistics description was used. The result of the study found that capitalization error was the most committed one, followed by the punctuation error, and spelling error was the least error committed by the first year English college students. It was concluded that most of the respondents committed some errors because of their lack of knowledge, lack of balance in the curriculum and the influence of mother tongue. Writing classes must engage students with more practices than ask them to deliver lectures. Also, this study provides some helpful suggestions to avoid the identified errors. The study can be used as an insight to the next other researchers and as a reference for similar topics about writing skills. Teachers must pay deep attention to the use of all the punctuation marks, explain the conventions of capitalization, and clarify more about the spelling rules. Students should be encouraged to do home written assignments as much as possible.

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to analyze the application of formulaic expressions in the conversation texts of senior high school English textbooks grade X, XI, and XII entitled “Bahasa Inggris” published by the Ministry of Education and Culture. This topic was chosen because formulaic competence is a component of the communicative competence that helps the students to speak native-like. The researcher applied qualitative approach and used discourse analysis as the design of the study. The objects of the study were twenty-five conversation texts of English textbooks grade X, XI, and XII. They were analyzed based on the list of formulaic expressions proposed by Biber et al. (1999). The researcher found that the application of the formulaic expressions in the conversation texts of the English textbooks was not fully done. There were only four out of five formulaic expressions types as formulated by Biber et al. (1999). They were lexical bundles, idiomatic phrases, collocations, and inserts. They did not frequently occur in the conversation texts of the textbooks. They were only 21.9% of the total expressions. It was concluded that the expressions were not native-like, so the conversation texts of the textbooks need to be improved.

This study was experimental research named two-way (two-by-two) factorial design. The population of this study was the eleventh year students of State Islamic Senior High School 1 Kudus in the Academic Year 2015/2016. There were five classes from XI-A to XI -E. Each class had 35 students, therefore, the total population was 175 students. Meanwhile the samples of this study were eighty students from four classes selected based on the historical factors and pre-existing ability. 80 students were chosen to be a sample, 40 as STAD CL group and 40 as DI group. Both groups were given the pre-test to measure students' reading skill and after several times of treatments, both groups were given the post-test. The results of this study showed that STAD CL as teaching strategy for teaching reading to those who had high and low learning motivation compared to DI was more effective than DI because most students stated that STAD CL contributed to increase the reading performance in the classroom. Further study may also be conducted to determine whether teachers’ use of STAD CL or DI appears to reduce student anxiety and stress in the classroom to improve students’ reading or even other skills, retention, and student-teacher relationships.

By using Discourse Analysis (Bavelas, 2002; Celce-Murcia and Olshtain, 2007), the data – in the form of transcripts from video recordings – were analyzed. The findings map out the high use of appreciation of attitude, entertain of engagement, and focus of graduation applied. Those appraisal, moreover, were highly found in the body of the speech. Finally, this thesis provides suggestions that teaching the speech structure and how to convince the listener by using appraisal is needed for better speeches.
