Abstract

In designing and evaluating a curriculum, need analysis is the prior action so that it can accommodate students’ need and the result is not disappointing. The dissatisfaction toward graduate students from vocational high school who most of them do not have adequate English skill to work can be assumed that the curriculum as well as the learning process do not consider the students’ needs. This study aimed to investigate the vocational high school students’ needs and its alignment of and gap toward the 2013 Curriculum and the practice of CLT approach. This research is qualitative descriptive research which was conducted at SMK Negeri 1 Semarang toward the students and the teacher. The data were collected by using questionnaire, observation checklist, document analysis guideline and interviews.The result of this study shows the students’ opinion, demand, and reflection toward the English learning process. Meanwhile on the investigation of the teaching learning, it is found that the implementation of the 2013 Curriculum more or less has been accordance with the regulation, on the contrary the CLT approach had not been applied well. The alignments of the needs analysis, the curriculum and the CLT approach lay on the sufficient time allotment of the English subject, the learning activity, promoting active learning, and promoting English usage during the learning process. Meanwhile the gaps between the needs analysis, the curriculum and the CLT approach occur in the lack of productive skill practice, authentic learning media, and the discipline-related learning material.

Abstract

This study deals with analyzing language used for communication. It analyzes a victory speech by Donald Trump as the newest president of America from the perspective of SFL especially dealing with the Tenor of the discourse of the speech. In other words, this study is about interpersonal meaning of the speech which can be used to dig up speaker’s attitudes towards what s/he is saying in the speech. In conducting this study, I had two objectives to achieve. First, this study tried to understand the interpersonal meaning of Donald Trump’s victory speech by looking deeply on the Mood system of the clauses of the speech which means analyzing the two constituents of Mood which are Subjects and Finites of the clauses in the speech. Second, it also tried to uncover Donald Trump’s attitudes towards Americans by applying the Appraisal theory proposed by Martin. Appraisal offers an ideal analytical framework to systematically identify interpersonal meanings in language. The result of analysis showed that the most subject found in the speech was I – Donald Trump which meant that Trump himself was responsible to what he was saying in the speech. The Finites in the speech were mostly stated in Simple Present Tense which was meant that in delivering his speech, Trump gave the general truth at the moment of the speaking. Since most of the clauses were declarative clauses, Trump was considered to share information in this case he share his vision and mission for future America to the audience. That shared information was further analyzed with the Appraisal theory which led to the conclusion that Trump gave positive attitudes towards Americans. Based on this study, finally we come to an understanding that it’s important to understand any kinds of speech well. One among ways to do it is by analyzing that speech through its interpersonal meaning and its appraisal system. This study is useful for readers, especially English Department students in order to be able to understand the meaning behind a text well.

Place deixis was realized through demonstrative pronoun, English adverb, and English preposition. The use of the proximal form of place deixis is more dominant rather than the distal form of place deixis. Time deixis was realized through past time, present time, future time, and adverbial of time. Social deixis was also realized through relational social deixis (used in informal situation) and absolute social deixis (used in formal situation).

Hence, it is expected that the findings of this study can improve the students’ knowledge in pragmatics and deixis in general; especially they will apply appropriate deixis in order to develop their writing abilities.

The findings revealed that there were seven types of hedges and eight types of boosters employed by students. Dealing with the functions of hedges and boosters, it was discovered that the graduate students employed four functions of hedges and three functions of hedges. Moreover, it was discovered that hedges and boosters tend to be clustered together to create harmonic combination. the present study suggests the EFL lecturers to pay attention to the significance of hedges and boosters to enrich the students’ knowledge on the parts of discourse.
