Abstract

Grice’s maxims refer to the use of the four conversational implicature and cooperative principle proposed by Paul Herbert Grice (1975). In order to make communication successful, participants have to follow such a principle. This study is aimed at investigating the realization of Grice’s maxims in English teacher’s interaction with male and female students at Bilingual Boarding School and the gender difference that influenced the interaction. The researcher uses descriptive qualitative in analyzing the data. The main instrument used was the researcher herself with the help of the data sheet as the secondary instrument. The object of the study was the teacher’s interaction with male and female students in a different classroom. Then, the data were analyzed in four steps of interactive analysis: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and data conclusion. To avoid bias or subjectivity, the researcher applied the triangulation of expert judgment. The results show that all the four Grice’s maxims, quality, quantity, relevant, and manner are realized in the teacher’s interaction with male and female students. It was realize by observing and flouting the maxims. In the interaction with male students, there are 4 observances of Grice’s maxims realized they are observed quality maxim, quantity maxim, relevant maxim, and manner maxim. In non-observance of maxims, there are flouted quality, quantity, relevant and manner maxims. On the other hand, the realization of Grice’s maxims in the interaction with male students was observed the quality, quantity, relevant, manner and flouted 2 maxims were quantity and relevant maxim. The results of this study can pedagogically contribute to English language studies. In the classroom interaction in discourse and pragmatic development in general, the realization of maxims (observed and flouted) can be directly included as a good example of the natural authentic of English.

Abstract

The use of appropriate teaching technique to teach English in senior high schools in the context of EFL determines the quality of the students’ achievement because the success of their efforts to reach the learning goals cannot be separated from teacher’s role in assisting the process of learning.The research was conducted to describe the implementation of scaffolding technique in 6 senior high school in Semarang and to analyze the obstacles and factors underlying found in the process of the implementation used in the classroom by applying Dewerianka’s scaffolding model.The data were taken from classroom interactions of 6 teachers in 6 public senior high schools in Semarang. The research subjects were 6 English teachers and 10th grade students in 6 different public schools. There were four stages of scaffolding technique suggested by Dewerianka, they were building the field, modeling, joint construction, and independent construction. The result shows that the implementation of scaffolding technique contributes to the students’ ability. It was seen on (a) the students were able to produce the text depending on the purpose, social contexts, and medium in oral or written forms and (b) the teacher gave the contribution during individual work and reduced the contribution during pair work or group work. The strengths of the scaffolding technique in teaching English for 10th grade students are (a) to build the character of the students, and (b) to measure the ability of the students when producing the texts. Meanwhile, the obstacles were: (a) the differences of characters and ability among students, (b) limited time allotment for English class, and (c) school facility. This research will be beneficial as the source of information and reference related to the English teaching in EFL context.

Abstract

Recently, the need to communicate has been a major concern by many experts. Learners tend to do better in written test than spoken one. It raises the awareness that students deem speaking as the most difficult task to do in learning a language. It may lead to the vast assumption that communicating in L2 is impossible to do. However, experts find that Communication Strategies (CSs) may become the solution. To fill in the gaps in using a language, learners may use CSs. This study aimed to see the most frequently used CSs by young learners. There were 16 Primary School Students who were divided into two categories based on their proficiency levels: High Proficient (HP) and Low Proficient (LP) Students. The data were gathered from the observation of the usage of CSs in real classroom settings and the result of the interview. The result revealed that HP Students tended to use more CSs than LP Students. Then, the students tended to use more Direct Strategies rather than Indirect and Interactional Strategies. Thus, it can be stated that certain kinds of CSs were more familiar for the students to use and may help them to overcome language problem in communicating using L2.

All the data was analyzed through transcribing, reading, categorizing, analyzing, interpreting, and drawing conclusion. The result showed that there were 94 utterances of figurative language. From 94 utterances, there were 9 subtitling strategies used; they were Expansion, Paraphrase, Transfer, Imitation, Transcription, Condensation, Decimation, Deletion, and Resignation Strategy. The most used subtitling strategy was Paraphrase Strategy that shared 39.4%. It was used in 37 excerpts. Then, the result of semantic equivalence showed that Fully Equivalent shared 42.5%, Increased Meaning shared 29.8%, and Decreased Meaning shared 7.4%. The category of Non-Equivalent showed that Different Meaning shared 16% and No Meaning shared 4.3%. The Equivalent category shared 80.8% of total 100%.

Abstract

In translation, cultural differences become a huge obstacle for the translators to create a good translation. This study aims to explain the cultural filters in English-Indonesian translation of the children comic based on the dimensions proposed by House (2004, 2005). It also explains the functional equivalence achieved by the translation of the comic. This study is a descriptive qualitative study. In collecting the data, the researcher used transcription, table of cultural filters based on the dimensions of the cultural filters, and table of functional equivalence. The data were analyzed based on the dimensions of cultural filters in the terms of directness, orientation towards self versus orientation towards other, orientation towards content versus orientation towards addressee, explicitness versus implicitness, ad-hoc formulation versus verbal routines, and voice. The results showed that there were 310 cultural filters. Out of 310 cultural filters, 118 were explicitness versus implicitness, 85 were ad-hoc formulation versus verbal routines, 64 were orientation towards content versus orientation towards addressee, 15 were directness and orientation towards self versus orientation towards other, and 13 were cultural filter in terms of voice. Relating to the functional equivalence, 287 of them achieved functional equivalence and 23 dialogues did not achieve functional equivalence. It could be concluded that cultural filters could help the translators to overcome the problems relating to cultural differences in both source language and target language. Besides, it also helps the translation to achieve functional equivalence.
