Abstract

This study aimed to know the implementation of translation strategies used by the translator and equivalence achievement. Descriptive qualitative research approach is used as research design. The results of the study show that 10 translation strategies used by the translator in rendering 724 culture-specific items data. Translation by repetition or pure borrowing is mostly used the translator as translation strategy containing ecology, concepts of belief and religion, and anthroponyms. The translator intended to source language-oriented in the implementation of translation strategies in translating culture-specific items in The Spiderwick Chronicles because the culture-specific items in TL did not have equal meaning in TL culture. Dealing with equivalence of translation, the translator tends to avoid re-create the culture-specific items in SL. In order to achieve balance, the translator should reduce bringing the original words into target language and avoid the unfamiliar cultural terminologies.

Abstract

This thesis was focused on the rendering of ideologies in the English – Indonesian Translation Twain’s The Adventure of Tom Sawyer. The main purposes of the study was to explain the rendering of ideologies found in the English – Indonesian translation in the Twain’s novel The Adventure of Tom Sawyer which was realized through the rendering of ideologically-contested words, nominalization and voice. This study used descriptive qualitative study by means of Critical Discourse Analysis framework proposed by Fairclough (1989). The analysis was done by analyzing the ideologically-contested words, nominalization and voice found in the sentences where ideologies were embedded. This was also done by getting through the analysis of micro-level, meso-level and macro-level of Critical Discourse Analysis. The results of the study showed the way the ideological differences between the source language and target language were renderred, such as: tacit assumption, belief system and value system. Most of the ideologies were rendered into target language, while only few were shifted as the result of choosing the words, nominalizing the clause and changing the voice. The results of the study are expected to give a valuable contribution to the translator, English Department students and lecturers and writers to consider the rendering of ideologies in the literary works, in order to raise ideological awareness embedded on the source language and to succeed rendering the ideologies by considering the socio-cultural condition.

Abstract

“Central Java Visitor Guide” is a media to promote tourism for International tourists. This study was intended to reveal the translation techniques used by the translator in translating the sentences and to see the resulted grammatical equivalence between the source text (ST) and target text (TT). This study was done qualitatively. The findings of the research reveal that nine of 18 translation techniques proposed by Molina & Albir (2002) are chosen by the translator. They are : literal, borrowing, modulation, reduction, amplification, transposition, particularization, generalization, and description. Literal translation (50.98 %) and borrowing (17.24 %) are the most dominant technique used. On the other hand, generalization and description are the lowest ones (0.73 %). It is also found out that the translator’s choice of translation techniques has resulted in 223 used of voice equivalent (45.60 %), 203 used of tense equivalent (41.51 %), and 63 used of number equivalent (12.88 %). There is no certain techniques influence the equivalence on tense and number category. However, non-equivalent on the category of voice is caused by the use of modulation and transposition techniques. Besides that, this study also analyses the common problems of non-equivalence. They are : culture specific term (75.67 %), TL lacks specific term (12.16 %), TL lacks superordinate (8.10 %), and the use of loan words in the ST (4.05 %). Therefore, it can be concluded that the high rate of grammatical equivalence shows the translator’s success in translating the text.

Abstract

The present study investigated the effectiveness of Cognitive and Structure-Proposition-Evaluation strategies in teaching TOEFL reading comprehension to high and low motivated students. An experimental research with factorial design 2x2 was used in this research. The first group was treated by using cognitive strategy and the other was treated by using SPE strategy. The motivational questionnaire was conducted for classifying the students upon the high and low motivation. The data were analyzed by applying Two-Way ANOVA. The result reveals that (1) cognitive strategy had a significant effect for teaching TOEFL reading comprehension among students with high and low motivated students, (2) SPE strategy had a significant effect for teaching TOEFL reading comprehension among high and low motivated students, (3) there was no significant difference between the students’ achievement after the implementation of cognitive and SPE strategies for teaching TOEFL reading comprehension among high and low motivated students, (4) there was no significant difference of students’ motivation in reading comprehension when they are taught by using cognitive and SPE strategies for high and low motivated students, (5) there was no interaction among teaching strategies (cognitive and structure-proposition-evaluation strategies), motivation (high and low motivated students), and students’ reading comprehension.

Abstract

During the process of L2 acquisition, most of the students usually face some difficulties in pronunciation. One influential factor that triggers this problem is L1 transfer. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to explain the influence of Serawai Melayunese dialect towards students’ pronunciation of English vowels, consonants, diphthongs, clusters, and words stress syllables and to explain the role of teacher in the development of student’s pronunciation. This research employed qualitative descriptive research. The subjects of this study were 38 students of SMAN 1 South Bengkulu. The data were collected by using questionnaires, student’s recording, observation checklist, and an interview. The results of this study showed that Serawai Melayunese dialect did not strongly give positive transfer on students’ pronunciation of English vowels [ʊ],[ɒ],[ʌ],[ə],[e], consonants [p], [b], [t], [d], [f], [ʃ], [k], [h], [s], [m], [n], [l], [r], and diphthong [ɔɪ]. Moreover, Serawai Melayunese dialect did not strongly give negative transfer on the substitutions of long vowel sounds [i:], [ɒ], [u:], [ɜ:] and [ae] into short vowel sounds [ʊ],[ɒ],[ʌ],[ə],[e], consonant sounds [ph], [th], [kh], [ծ], [dʒ], [ʒ], [tʃ], [ɵ], and [v] into sounds [p], [k], [d], [j], [z], [t], [f]. It occurred not only because of these sounds did not exist in the Serawai Melayunese dialect sound system, but it was also influenced by spelling interference from L1 and lack of pronunciation training. Furthermore, diphthong [aʊ] and two syllable word stress on final position were strongly influenced by Serawai Melayunese dialect. Since this diphthong existed in Serawai Melayunese dialect and stress placement in two syllable words were frequently produced on final position, it influenced positively the student’s English pronunciation. In contrary, Serawai Melayunese dialect did not give negative transfer on students’ pronunciation of diphthongs [eɪ], [aɪ] [ʊe], [eə], and [ʊə]. The students pronounced these diphthongs improperly were caused by spelling interference from L1 and lack of pronunciation training. In addition, Serawai Melayunese dialect did not give positive and negative transfer of English consonant clusters [str] and [st] since they were able to recognize those words or teacher gave pronunciation training. Last, teacher’s awareness about the importance of teaching pronunciation was still inadequate. Pronunciation instruction was least granted attention by the teacher. As results, teacher was reluctant to monitor and to correct students’ pronunciation.

Abstract

The main objective of the study was to explain the realization of ideational meaning both in written text and visual image. Also to explain the realization of written text and visual image relations. This study was chosen because English textbook plays important roles in teaching EFL classroom, where the students’ understanding of texts in English textbook can be supported by images according to some studies on multimodality approach. This study was a qualitative study which the data were taken from English textbook entitled Bahasa Inggris published by the Ministry of Education and Culture. The data were gathered through observation sheet and analyzed using the teory of metalanguage and image-text relation. The result in the texts, however, material process has the highest percentage (60%) among the others.The findings also show that narrative processin the ideational meaning of image was higher use than conceptual process.The image-text relation analysis shows that most of the texts have elaborating relationship with the images because they gave detail information about text so this is could help the students to expand their critical thinking and strengthen their capacity in constructing and interpreting multimodal texts and also the benefit of this study is to improve teacher awareness of the importance of different making-meaning resources in the textbook.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to describe and to explain the realization of conversational features in massively multiplayer online game chat entitled Mafia City. This study used a conversation analysis approach with a qualitative design. The focus of this study is the gamers’ interactions through the game chat. The instrument of the research is I myself as the participant observer. Tables of specifications are the secondary instrument in the observation. The results of the study show that in Mafia City, the use of conversational features such as turn-takings, adjacency pairs, and repairs is possible. Even so, the realization of those features was not exactly similar compared to those in face-to-face conversation. The main problem was the disrupted turn-takings and adjacency pairs. For repairs, the most common type that appeared in the chat was self-initiated self-repair, while the most common pattern that occurred was replacement. Their occurrences were in consequence of the nature of online chat which is visually decontextualized. For jargons, the chatters are creative enough to create acronyms, contractions, and abbreviations freely. For the realization of extra-linguistic features, the chatters used emoticons as the result of the chatters’ creativity in dealing with the lack of prosodic features. These findings can be beneficial for the development of discourse study, especially in internet-based communication.

Abstract

Conversation Analysis is a methodology for naturally-occurring spoken interaction analysis. In this case, I use this methodology to understand how social action is accomplished. The objectives of the study are (1) to explain the spontaneity features realized in the debate, (2) to explain the interactivity features realized in the debate, (3) to explain the interpersonal features realized in the debate, and (4) to explain the coherence of the spoken text in the debate achieved. This study is a qualitative research. The data is a debate video performed by Indonesian students in the World Schools Debating Championships 2017. The result revealed four prominences: first, the spontaneity features realized in the debate are: filled pauses, repetition, false starts, tail-slot-filler, vagueness expression, and formulaic language (chunks); second, the interactivity features realized in that debate are: asking and answering of question, asking and answering their own rhetorical question, interruptions, and discourse markers; third, the interpersonality features realized in the debate are: hedges, vague, language, discourse markers, and evaluative language; fourth, the coherence of the spoken text in the debate achieved through the realization of the topic consistency, which includes lexical repetition, lexical chains, referring expressions, substitution, and linkers, and the macrostructure which comprises adjacency pairs and story structure. Theoretically, this research contributes to other researchers as a block for its literature contribution in their review in the case of the sameness and the difference of the research.
