Abstract

This research is descriptive qualitative study aiming at finding out EFL learners’ perceptions and realizations of formulaic sequences in casual conversations and seeing how the perceptions relate to the realizations. 13 students of English Department of Unnes Graduate Program were chosen as the participants of the study. Two sources of data were used in this study: interview and audio recordings of the casual conversations. The result of the interview revealed that the learners generally have positive perceptions of formulaic sequences. However, they do not ever get any materials about formulaic sequence in their EFL learning so that they do not really familiar with its concept.From the analysis of the learners’ casual conversations using the combination of Biber et al. (1999) and Celce-Murcia (2007) categorization system of formulaic sequences, all six types of formulaic sequences are found: inserts, collocation, routines, multi-word units, binomial expressions, and idioms. Furthermore, it is found that learners’ problem in realizing formulaic sequences includes the tendency to simply use the expressions they heard from any sources without considering the appropriateness of the expressions, the difficulty in using correct formulaic sequences to be used in the given situation, theidiomaticity of formulaic sequences, the tendency to translate Indonesian expressions into English literally word by word, and problems related to grammar. The learners’ perceptions of formulaic sequences are related to its realizations in terms of the problems they faced in using formulaic sequences in casual conversation.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the cohesion, coherence, thematic progression and the unity of meanings of the texts in the tenth grade of vocational high school textbook. There are twenty five texts in English textbook published by LP2IP as the data source. This study is a descriptive qualitative discourse analysis. The finding show that the high percentage of cohesive devices is reference and repetition, which means that the texts are cohesive enough. The use of reference and coherence contribute the unity of meanings grammatically and lexically. The high percentage of reiteration theme in the texts means that the texts use simple sentence. The use of simple sentence is because the readers are students of tenth grade vocational high school. There are five out of twenty five texts that have problem in thematic progression. 80% texts are unified, and 20 % are problematic text. The problems occur because of the overuse of reiteration theme and the unconnected idea of the clauses. As a material in teaching and learning, texts should be unified to make the students easy to understand.

Abstract

This study is aimed at finding out the cohesion and coherence in advertising discourse in TIME magazine as well as its implication of the study in teaching reading and writing. The writer used purposive sampling as the method of collecting data. The data were taken from several editions of TIME Magazine published in November 2009 to January 2010. In analyzing the data, the writer used a cohesion theory suggested by Halliday and Hasan (1976). On the contrary in coherence analysis the writer generated Peirce’s semiotic theory of sign (in Short, 2007) and speech act theory proposed by Austin (1962). Thus, in analyzing the aspect of coherence the writer focused on recognizing and identifying the function of headline as well as the pictures with respect to illocutionary meaning and semiotic meaning. The results of such analysis show that there are three cohesive devices frequently used in the advertising discourse. They are lexical cohesion (59.18%) followed by reference (32.65%) and conjunction (8.16%) in which the most presupposed item tends to refer to what is advertised. On the other hand the headlines and images are both coherent with the idea of the written discourse and speech act meaning as suggested by Austin’s theory. The pictures in the advertising discourse have implication on cultural, social and mythical ideology as suggested by Peirce’s theory of sign. Beside to visualize, and to claim the quality of the products they also to represent the hidden ideas in order to create image, prestige and trust in community. Considering to the results of this research, it can be concluded that the understanding of cohesion and coherence for students will greatly affect the ability of students in reading, interpreting and writing a text. In order to improve the students’ proficiency, it is important to introduce variety of texts such as advertising discourse for students especially in Senior High school.
