Abstract

A Professional teacher should master some competencies; one of them is professional competence. Accordingly, the preliminary research showed that some teachers had problems in the teaching-learning process. This research aimed to analyze the teachers’ competence in designing the syllabus, creating the lesson plan, developing the learning material, applying the learning media, the teaching-learning process, and constructing the students' assessment. This study was a qualitative case study. Subjects of the study were four private vocational school teachers in Grobogan. The data were collected by implementing observation, document analysis, and interviews. There were three steps in analyzing data, such as identifying, analyzing, and interpreting. The result showed that all teachers were good at designing ESP syllabus according to the instructional material, learning activity, assessment, time allocation, and learning resources. Then, they had created an ESP lesson plan well even though a teacher missed writing the learning method and the learning media. The media used were such as whiteboard, board markers, LCD, laptop, and other supporting materials. Additionally, all teachers did the teaching- learning process well despite some teachers found difficulties in applying lesson plan, they could not associate the lesson plan with the real condition in the class. The last finding showed that all teachers made an individual assignment for their students. But there was only a teacher who made group assignments. This research is expected to contribute to the teachers or lecturers in implementing professional competence to teach ESP.

Abstract

The Appraisal system is a comprehensive framework that prominently accommodates word classification. These words reflect the feelings and attitudes of the speakers that might implicitly be influenced by culture and norms. To find out the differences and similarities, transcribed conversations of Indonesian and Filipino teachers in Maria Regina School were analyzed. A qualitative method is applied to interpret the findings. The manifestation of attitude, judgment, and graduation are classified accordingly based on Martin and White (2005). The finding of this research is then supported and related to the values and culture that ground the way teachers express appraisal in conversation. The result indicates that teachers are dominant in the engagement system, especially entertain items. These items reflect kinship and open discussion among teachers through questions and the use of modals. In the attitude systems, Filipino teachers are more dominant in positive security that reflect confidence and togetherness while positive happiness items are found in Indonesian teachers where they express their fascination and contentment. Indonesian teachers tend to express judgment of normality while Judgement of capability was expressed more by Filipino teachers. In the graduation system, teachers mostly use force intensification to express the degree of intensity, repetition, and quality. The significance of the research is, the readers will learn to be more considerate in expressing their feeling and emotion in casual talk, especially with people who have different backgrounds of culture.

The source was reading texts in English in Mind: Students’ Book on Culture in Mind sections. The objects of this study was reading texts which were supported by images. The units were clauses in reading texts and visual items, including vectors, colours, image acts, gazes, size of frames and social distance of the images.The findings revealed that the representational meanings of the images supported the ideational meanings of the texts because the images tried to give depiction of the verbal texts to make the readers could comprehend the texts easily.

English is an international language in international communication to talk with people of different age, gender, status, etc. Besides, politeness strategies can reflect somebody's sociocultural competence when he/she talks to others.

Some of them had been abroad and communicated with the English native speaker directly. A proficiency test was used at the beginning of the research. It was continued by a sound recorder, video recorder, DCT, and interview to get the data. The findings reveal the more prominent use in bald on record and positive politeness strategies. Those strategies, based on the theory of Brown and Levinson and Celce Murcia, showed there was a close relationship between the speakers. The rest of the strategies showed that there was a distance between the speakers. In conclusion, politeness strategies were in students' interactions to reflect their sociocultural competence. The suggestion focuses on giving practices to students to increase their experiences in implementing politeness strategies.

Abstract

Presupposition means that people have their own beliefs before communicating with others (Yule, 1996). He defined the types of presuppositions into six; existential, factive, lexical, structural, counterfactual, and non-factive presuppositions. The study examined the existence of the indicators of potential presuppositions in Malala’s speeches after winning the Nobel and its relation toward the educational field. This study employed a qualitative approach. Four of Malala’s speeches were the data. The researcher used an instrument based on the theory of the indicators of potential presuppositions proposed by Yule (1996). As a result, the researcher found 34 potential presuppositions in Malala’s four speeches; 14 existential, six factual, four lexical, six structural, two non-factive, and two potential counterfactual presuppositions. Being aware of presuppositions will help both students and teachers be good communicators and create a communicative and effective teaching-learning process to achieve the goal. Theoretically, it expounds on the potential presupposition indicators as one of the linguistic expressions by considering the users of those forms in a communication. Pedagogically, it may contribute to the enrichment of educational material. Practically, it could give more ideas and references for further researchers.

Abstract

This study investigated the use of structures of lexical bundles, functions of lexical bundles, and the relationship between structures and functions of bundles in conversation texts. For the purposes of the study, the BahasaInggris textbook, published by the Ministry of Education and Culture(2018), was chosen to be analyzed. In the process of collecting the data, a set of tables was used. The first table was used to collect data to analyze structures of lexical bundles based on Biber's (2006) theory. The second table was used to collect data regarding Biber and Conrad's (2005) theory for functions of lexical bundles. Procedures for analyzing data consisted of steps, including reading, categorizing, and analyzing. This study revealed that, firstly, personal pronoun + lexical VP (e.g. we are going to) identified as the most frequent structure of bundle appeared in the conversation texts.Secondly, stance expression had a high proportion of the most recurring function of the bundle. They are used for expressing desire, intention, ability, obligation, and showing certain and uncertain feelings. Moreover, there were relationships between the functions of bundles with particular structures. In conclusion, improving the teaching quality can be built based on the appropriateness of the textbook. The teacher needs to pay attention to the English book that they will use, especially those that provide enough materials for enhancing students’ formulaic competence
