Abstract

This study aimed to explain the appraisal system manifested in students’ debate competition, the students’ realization of using appraisal, and the contribution of appraising items to debate structure. By using discourse analysis, the data which are in the form of transcripts from video recordings were analyzed in both tables of appraising items and debate structure. Several methods of analyzing data were done including transcribing, reading, categorizing, and analyzing. In order to validate the findings, the data and the analysis of this study had been examined and judged by one lecturer in West Nusa Tenggara as the expert of appraisal and debate. The findings map out the higher use of appreciation in attitude, disclaim in engagement, and force in graduation applied. The use of appreciation items makes students’ speeches more appreciative than personal and emotional. While a high occurrence of disclaim is applied for denying the debaters’ arguments from the opponent team, and the use of force of graduation is to express meaning when describing the situation or complaining about the statements and build up persuasion by assessing the degree of intensity of qualities and processes. Furthermore, the appraising items are more realized when students were doing rejection by using the low degree of gradability. Those appraising items are also highly found in both substantive arguments and rebuttal as the longer parts for explaining the substantial points in the debate competition.

Abstract

This study is aimed to explain the implementation of three metafunctions in verbal language and visual image of students’ textbook to see how the meaning is processed through different modes and how they relate each other to shape a meaningful text. The subject of the study is the students as the users of the book and regarding the object of the research, this study investigated chosen data which contain verbal language and image in the students’ textbook. There are 80 pictures being analyzed in this study. This research is a descriptive qualitative and uses two instruments to collect the data. The first is the checklist of verbal analysis by Eggins (2004) to analyze the verbal language that represents three metafunctions in the textbooks. The second is the checklist table for visual image analysis by applying the theory of Van Leeuween (2006). The results of the study showed that in verbal language, the ideational metafunction is dominated by the relational process which means that the text is about giving information or attribute to something and it is realized through the nominal group of sentences. Interpersonal metafunction is dominated by statement speech acts which shows that the text mostly in the form of declarative mood. Textual metafunction contains multiple themes in this textbook to give the variety of ideas. In the visual image, ideational metafunction is realized through mostly the narrative process which is the reactional process. Interpersonal metafunction is realized through the indirect gaze with the long shot and horizontal frontal angle. The textual metafunction is dominated by the left-right value.

Abstract

The study reports the appraisal analysis and the rhetorical structure of eulogies delivered at Mrs. Lee Kuan Yew memorial service. Eulogies are meant to remember the person who died in a positive light, and offer an opportunity to speak about who the deceased was and the ways in which she or he made a difference in the lives of family, friends, and his or her community. Since eulogy contains praises for someone admired, and the speaker recalls the memories shared, he has to evaluate his feelings and relation by expressing attitude, his position towards the deceased, and gradable valuation. Such evaluation has to do with appraisal system. The research integrates the appraisal theory proposed by Martin and White (2005) and rhetorical structure (Kunkel and Dennis, 2003). This study employs discourse analysis method of research. The findings reveals that the eulogies have primarily used the judgement resources rather than affect and appreciation within the attitude system. As eulogizing function, the eulogy composed largely of laudation and praise, the use of judgement appraising items shows how the eulogizer’s assessment towards the admiring behaviour of the deceased during her life. Moreover, the utilization of the rhetorical structure contributes to the achievement of the communicative purpose of eulogy. Through the well-structured eulogies, the eulogizers heighten the audience member’s feelings of regard, love, and appreciation for the deceased.

Abstract

Acquiring English as a foreign language and using it as a second language (L2) in early years (children up to six years old) at immersion education happen to some process. In that process, the children tend to use L2 spontaneously and produce interlanguage as stated by Selinker (1977). This study aimed to describe children’s production of interlanguage through the features, startegies used by the children in anticipating the influence of native and target language, and the causes. It was a qualitative research of SLA in English-speaking environment. The research subjects were two non-native teachers and fifteen Kindergarten I Integrity students of Bina Bangsa School Semarang. The data were obtained by recording their daily conversation at school for about three months and having interview with the class teachers. The audio and video recordings were transcribed then analyzed based on SLA frameworks proposed by Brown (1973) and Ellis (1985) and interlanguage frameworks drawn on Selinker (1972), Adjemian (1976) and Faerch & Kasper (1983). The interview result were used to get more opinions regarding the interlanguage phenomenon. The results indicated that the students produced interlanguage systematically, permeably, and dynamically. They used strategies of L2 learning and L2 communication to anticipate the influence of their native and target language. Moreover, the students produced interlanguage for some reasons. It was because of language transfer, overgeneralization, and their development of grammatical morphemes, negation, interrogation, and reflexive pronoun in the process of SLA. Language transfer was the main cause of interlanguage happened among the students.

It was conducted at SMP N 1 Comal. The method used in this research was qualitative study. To get the data, researcher used observation, video recording, questionnaire and interview. The results of the study showed that first there were six functions of code switching in the foreign language classroom, those are to explain grammar, to manage classroom, to index a stance of empathy or solidarity, to translate words, to help students when they have difficulty in understanding and to emphasis some points. Second, the students preferred a combination of Indonesia and English in the classroom. Third, there were five responses from students in the teaching learning process, those were specific response, choral response, open-ended or students initiated response, silence and laughter.

The design of this research was quasi-experimental study with 2 X 2 factorial designs. The independent variables were simulation and role play technique while dependent variable was students’ speaking ability. The data were gathered through a test, questionnaire, observation, and informal interview with teachers and students. Then, I analyzed the result from questionnaire and speaking test using t-test and ANOVA.The results of this study showed that simulation technique to teach speaking to the students with high and low motivation (80.8 and 65) and role-play technique is (71.9 and 70.9). Mean score of simulation technique was higher than role-play technique and and the total mean of the students with high motivation was higher than the students with low motivation. However, both of techniques were effective to students with high and low motivation. The value of sig. of techniques and motivation was 0.00. It meant that sig.value was lower than 0.05. It indicated that there was significant difference between techniques and students’ motivation to teach speaking. In other words, speaking techniques were able to improve students’ speaking competence and those correlated directly with the level of students’ motivation.Based on the result of the study, it can be inferred that students were getting advantages of using simulation and role-play techniques to teach speaking. The students’ score was significantly increased. they were also indirectly motivated to speak English and they gradually forgot the negative feeling such as shyness and lack of confidence
