First, KWL was more effective to students with positive attitudes. Second, CSR was more effective to students with positive attitudes. Third, none was more effective between KWL and CSR strategies to students with positive attitude. Fourth, CSR was more effective than KWL to students with negative attitudes. The last, there was no significant interaction between the strategies and attitudes to teach reading comprehension. However, it could be said that the significance was low. In conclusion, this study has proven that KWL and CSR could help the students in reading comprehension for both students with positive and negative attitudes.

Abstract

Learning a target language is actually a process of trial and error, whether as the first, the second or even foreign language. This study is aimed to find out the mistakes within the descriptive texts. The method used in this study was a qualitative approach, and the design was discourse analysis. The data were taken from the 27 descriptive texts written by the fourth semester students of English Department, while the technique of analysis was based on the error analysis theory, involved: collection of a sample, identification, description and explanation. The generic structure result showed that the students could write well in the identification and aspect part, but not in conclusion part. In case of lexicogrammatical features, the use of verbs caused the most number of mistakes, or 132 mistakes (30.07%), while the fewest ones was the use of adjective, found only 4 times (0.91%) of the total mistakes. Generally, the students used the lexicogrammatical features in their writing, even though still need to be improved. The causes of students’ mistakes were mostly due to the interlingual aspect.

Abstract

This current study tried to examine online brainwriting compared to brainstorming as prewriting strategies in improving the writing skills of students with high and low frequency of LLS. 2 x 2 factorial design of experimental research was carried out to collect the data from 60 college students majoring in Dance Education. Two experimental groups, A and B, were given two different treatments: online brainwriting and brainstorming. SILL by Oxford (1990) was used to determine whether the students have high or low frequency of LLS.The ANOVA test showed ρ=0.000 for both online brainwriting and brainstorming which prove effectiveness of both techniques. It is also found that online brainwriting is proven to be significant for both high and low frequency of LLS students with ρ=0.000. Brainstorming, on the other side, is only significant for high frequency of LLS students with ρ=0.000, yet is proven insignificant for low frequency of LLS students with ρ=0.039.  However, the results showed there was no interaction between the use of prewriting strategies and the frequency of LLS which was proven by the ρ=0.529. Future researchers might consider having a mixed method of study in comparing those two strategies to get more precise results.

Abstract

This thesis is about sociocultural relations among participants in articles on teacher as researcher and teacher as educator. The aim of this research is explaining the sociocultural power in the opposing texts which are realized in the linguistic choices used by both authors. I choose this study because there is different role of teacher in two texts that brings out contrasting opinions about the importance of teachers becoming researchers. In this study, I used critical discourse analysis proposed by Fairclough (2001) both as research methodology and framework of the study. The findings show that sociocultural relations are realized in the lexical, grammatical and textual structures relations. From the lexical relation, both authors have different choice of words for assigning participants in the texts as well as their choices in rewording, formality, euphemism and the negative and positive evaluation. Next, from the grammatical relation, it can be seen from the tenses, the use of process types, ideological pronoun and the logical connectors. From the textual structures relation, both texts are argumentative ones and the authors use elements to persuade the readers to agree or disagree to the idea of teacher as researcher. Last, the sociocultural relation among the participants can be seen from the comparison of the types of process and participants used in both texts which show authors’ different sociocultural backgrounds that influence their standpoints. It can be concluded that linguistic choices are indeed influenced by the sociocultural backgrounds of both authors. The text on teacher as researcher was written by an Indonesian lecturer who believes that a good quality teacher is a teacher who conducts research and publishes papers in order to develop their global competence. On the other hand, the text on teacher as educator was written by an American graduate of Harvard who believes that a good quality teacher is a teacher whose first concern is on students learning, not on research. Thus, different sociocultural backgrounds of both authors resulted in the opposing ideologies and those ideologies are realized in the linguistic choices throughout the texts.
