This research employed descriptive method with qualitative approach. The object of the study is judges of Americas’ Got Talent season 13 which consist of Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Mell B, and Howie Mendel. The study revealed that the judges used the basic markers to express the main message of the comment, commentary markers to express the message contains in the comment toward the main message, parallel markers to express the complement message toward the main message and the discourse markers to express the relation between the main message and the other utterance. The visual pragmatic markers performed also signals certain message related to verbal markers. The judges performed the thinking face to signal the word search, pointing with gaze and hand movement to emphasize the messages convey in utterance and smile to signal pleasure.

Therefore, in the process of l2 acquisition, the impact of L1 on English articulation certainly is seen as a tough obstacle for the Indonesian EFL learners. In SLA, it is known as language transfer. Buginese language as one of the native language existed in South Sulawesi also gave positive and negative transfer towards English pronunciation. It was proven through a qualitative case study employed towards 20 students from XI IPA 2 at SMAN 4 Barru. To obtain the data, several methods were undergone such as questionnaires, students’ recording, interview and observation.

The use of appropriate strategies to translate idioms determines the quality of the idiom translation because the meaning of idioms cannot be extracted from its each component word.The research was conducted to describe the types of idioms found in Crazy Rich Asians novel and to analyze the strategies used in translating the idioms by applying Baker’s translation strategy.The data were taken from idioms found in Crazy Rich Asians novel. There were 325 data which were analyzed qualitatively to determine the types of idioms and what strategies were employed. The result shows that opaque phrases dominated of all idiom types, followed by semi-transparent phrase, semi-opaque phrase and transparent expression. There were five strategies employed in translating idioms, they were using an idiom of similar meaning and form, using an idiom of similar meaning but dissimilar form, translation by paraphrase, translation by omission and literal translation. Translation by paraphrase is the most frequent strategies used to translate idioms because the equivalent idioms in Bahasa Indonesia are not available. Even though in Baker’s strategy does not include literal translation, this strategy is applicable to translate transparent expression, but it is not appropriate in translating opaque phrases. This research will be beneficial as the source of information and reference related to the translation of idioms.

Reading is a kind of activity to transfer the information and to comprehend the writer’s ideas by the learner through the written or the printed words. Learning achievement is not only determined by the one factor such as teaching method, but also it is affected by some learning factors. Besides, learning is affected by psychological factor such as classroom atmosphere.This study used experimental research. It was aimed to comparing the effectiveness of Beta Wave music, acoustic music, no music, as music background when learning English. This study was experimental research by using factorial design, it was 3x2 factorial design and use technique of multi factor analysis of variance (ANNOVA) which helped to understand the effect of two or more independent variables upon a single dependent variable, the independent variables are beta wave music, acoustic music, and no music, and the dependent variable is the students’ achievement in reading comprehension of tenth graders of SMAN 4 Kota Cirebon. For moderating variables are positive and negative students’ perception toward music background.Mostly, students with positive perception were affected by music background whether acoustic and beta wave music as well as none-music background in learning reading comprehension.While students with negative perception were positively affected even a few students were negatively affected by beta music background when they learn reading comprehension. Because, they thought that the music were annoying, then the students felt uncomfortable. But it was different with students with negative perception in experiment A that used acoustic music background. They were positively affected by acoustic music background.The use of acoustic melodic music was effective in developing students’ reading comprehension both of students with positive and negative perception toward. While the use of beta wave music background was effective in developing students’ reading comprehension for students with positive perception but it was not effective for students with negative perception.

In communication, commissive is a kind of speech acts that commit a speaker to do some future action. People should have the ability to produce and understand sentences which are appropriate in order to communicate effectively. The aims of this study are to analyze the candidates’ utterance and the candidates’ visual expression, and also to explain the roles of power and social distance in the debate. Qualitative method is applied in this study. There are five instruments which are used in this study, such as observation, recording technique, Searle and Vanderveken’s (1985) theory, Navarro and Karlin’s (2008) theory, and Trosborg’s (1994) theory. The collected data are especially in form of words, sentences, or pictures. The findings showed that there are six types of commissive speech acts used by two candidates, namely promise, assure, threaten, guarantee, offer, and refuse. It indicated that the most common commissive speech acts found is a promise. In addition, the second findings presented that there are seven types of visual expressions by two candidates, such as putting the hand in the pocket, tongue-jutting behavior, furrowed forehead, arm-distancing, palms-up, interlaced fingers, and hand-steepling. The most dominant visual expression by two candidates is palms-up. It meant that the candidates wanted to be believed or wanted to be accepted. The last findings explained that power (status) and social distance. They had equal status in power, had different perception, and had a space line in the debate. Hence, this study can be used in pragmatics class for language learners, especially they will apply appropriately commissive speech acts for the purpose of persuading voters or audiences in communication.

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.

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.
