Abstract

In Indonesia, English is a compulsory subject that is learnt by students for the first time in junior high school. Although the teachers are expected to use English in the classroom, sometimes students do not understand the explanation. Code switching becomes a natural part of classroom interaction in foreign language classroom. Therefore, this study aimed to explain the use of code switching, students perceived the teachers’ code switching, the students respond to the teacher’s code-switching practices and the influence of teachers’ code-switching practices on students’ understanding in the teaching learning process. 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. Fourth, teachers believed that code switching had positive influences in teaching English for their students.

The objectives of the study are (1) to compare the lexical bundles’ frequencies in conversation texts between Four Corners and English Intensive Course books, (2) to compare the lexical bundles’ structures in conversation texts between Four Corners and English Intensive Course books, (3) to compare the lexical bundles’ functions in conversation texts books between Four Corners and English Intensive Course books. This study is a corpus study. The data are the conversation texts which existed in two textbooks; Four Corners with native authors and English Intensive Course with non-native authors. The result revealed that (1) the frequency of lexical bundles in Four Corners are higher than in English Intensive Course books, (2) both Four Corners and English Intensive Course books more frequent in using lexical bundle that incorporate verb phrase fragments, (3) the dominant function of lexical bundles used in two textbooks are special function, most of them consist of simply inquiry. Theoretically, this research contributes to other researchers as a building block for its literature contribution in their review in the case of the similarity and the difference of the lexical bundles’ frequencies, structures, and functions.

Abstract

This study analyzes narratives written by six students who joined a story writing contest. It is assumed that the students who joined in the writing contest had fair knowledge in writing, so the texts may achieve coherence. This study uses qualitative research in the form of discourse analysis. The focuses of the study are to investigate micro and macro level coherence, tense use, and the context of situation of the texts. This study uses the theories from Thornbury (2005), Ellis (1997), and Eggins (1994). This study is aimed to know the quality of coherent text in the students’ narrative. The findings of this study showed that constant theme patterns became the most frequent occurred in the narratives followed by zig-zag patterns and sentences which has no patterns. The sentences which have patterns might be logic in continuity. For the macro-level coherence, key word aspect became the most found in the narratives. The words represented the main characters in the stories. The macro-scripts showed that the narratives mostly use the script orientation-complication-resolution in arranging the paragraphs. The tense errors were found in almost all narratives. The findings showed three narratives had more errors than correct ones. The situational coherence showed that the fields in the texts were about heroes who had done something precious in their life. The tenors of the texts were same, namely between story writers and story readers. The modes of the texts were also the same. The texts are delivered by written media, so the texts did not have visual and aural distance between story writers and story readers. The goal of the texts is only for constructing experience.

Abstract

According to Vinay and Darbelnet (1995), direct translation refers to the transposition of source language message element by element into target language based on either structural parallelism or metalinguistic parallelism. However, both parallelisms are not realized by the student translators so that sometimes they apply inappropriate direct translation. Therefore, this study is aimed to assess the quality of students’ direct translation procedures according to Larson (1994) in Indonesian rendering of English folklore drama script. This study employed descriptive qualitative method with the involvement of respondents for quality assessment. The result reveals that 445 direct procedures consisting of 45 borrowing translations, 18 calque translations, and 382 literal translations produce 249 accurate, 64 sufficiently accurate, and 132 less accurate translations. Dealing with clarity, 314 are considered as clear, 71 sufficiently clear, and 60 less clear translations. In addition, the analysis of naturalness results 285 natural, 51 sufficiently natural, 58 less natural, and 51 unnatural translations. The problems derived from students’ direct procedures are the use of unacceptable loan word and word by word translation which can create misinterpretation. Therefore, the students should increase their awareness of the structural and metalinguistic parallelisms between source and target language.

This study aimed to analyze the translation strategies used by the translator in translating type of hyperboles and its translation quality in The Shrunken Head Novel. The descriptive qualitative research approach is used as a research design. The results of the study showed that there are two types of hyperboles found in this novel, namely overstatement of numbers and quantity and impossible description. Then, there are three strategies that used by translator to translated types of hyperbole in this novel, namely the sense of the word may be translated non-figuratively, retaining the word in the original but to add the sense of the word and substituting a figurative expression from SL to TL. The analysis on translation quality showed that 212 data of hyperboles (88%) considered as accurate, 207 data (86%) belongs to acceptable and 164 data (68%) are considered as high readability.

Abstract

This study attempts to explain the flouts of Grice’s maxims as well as the relation between verbal and visual representations in an animated cartoon serial. The descriptive qualitative approach with the content analysis is used in the research design. The data are in the form of verbal and visual representations. The verbal data are the utterances taken from the dialogs; the visual data are the screen captures from the scenes in SpongeBob SquarePants. The results of the study show that all the four Grice’s maxims, namely quantitative, qualitative, relation and manner, are flouted. The maxims of quantity are flouted through too little and too much information. Next, the maxims of quantity are flouted through untrue information and information with lack of evidence. Next, the maxim of relation is flouted through non-relevant information. Finally, the maxim of manner is flouted through ambiguous, obscure, and lengthy information. Meanwhile, to deal with the relationship between verbal and visual elements in the flouts of maxims, the verbal or linguistic representations are evidently supported by the visual ones. The visual analysis in flout of maxims plays the essential role as it can get the pragmatic contexts clearer to help the analysis.
