Abstract

There are many English novels translated into Indonesian. One of them is Five Feet Apart. The novel not only amazes readers by using the story of a couple with cystic fibrosis but the language in the novel is also presented using figurative language. Sometimes, English novel is still difficult for Indonesian to understand, so it becomes the reason why translation technique is important. This research aims to explain Newmark’s translation technique and to explain the achievement of full, partial, and no equivalence. This research is included in the type of qualitative descriptive research. To obtain data, the researchers collected the words, phrases, clauses, and sentences containing figurative language. Perrine’s classification of figurative language (1997), Newmark’s classification of translation technique (1988), and Bell’s classification of degree semantic equivalence (1997) were used in the analysis of the texts. The analysis was done by identifying, classifying, interpreting, and analyzing the data. The research finding reveals 8 translation techniques used in 202 data. They are couplet, literal translation, modulation, paraphrase, transposition, expansion, cultural equivalence, and compensation. The dominant technique is couplet because the author makes various conditions so it is not enough to translate with only 1 technique. The dominant degree of semantic equivalence is fully equivalence. In conclusion, the large number of fully equivalence indicates that the translator keeps maintaining the meaning and minimizing non-equivalence

Abstract

The present study began with wide use of a textbook entitled "Bahasa Inggris" in Sorong. The book is written by Utami Widiati, Zuliati Rohmah, and Furaidah. It focuses on analyzing all the reading passages in the chosen chapters. Qualitative descriptive implemented in assessing the use of cohesive devices proposed by Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) theory. The findings reveal 895 grammatical and 222 lexical cohesions in the reading passages. The grammatical consisted of 622 references, 15 substitutions, 22 ellipses, and 236 conjunctions and the lexical cohesion consisted of 186 reiterations and 36 collocations. Furthermore, as support in providing the text's coherence, the researchers asked the students as ttextbook users to read the passages. It was proven that the texts were readable and understood by the readers. However, they took time to understand the passages with more ellipsis and collocation. Hopefully, this study will give the readers and authors insight of the reading texts by using appropriate cohesive devices in creating coherent reading texts as instruments for teaching and learning.

Abstract

This study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic when a shift from traditional classrooms to online classroom learning happened. Faced with online learning challenges, teachers practiced various strategies to support their classes. In EFL contexts, the way teachers manage these challenges can be investigated through online code-switching. The present qualitative study investigates an Indonesian EFL teacher’s perception and use of classroom code-switching in promoting pedagogical, interpersonal, and instructional functions to support teaching and learning in online classroom settings. The study gained data through a semi-structured interview to gauge the EFL teacher’s perception and by observing several online English classroom recordings. The findings were analyzed using Ferguson’s (2003) and Gumperz’s (1982) theories, supported by stimulated recall interviews. The study found that the EFL teacher has a positive and supportive perception of classroom code-switching for online classroom teaching and learning. In realization, analysis results showed that the EFL teacher practiced classroom code-switching in her online classrooms and promoted functions including pedagogical (e.g., reiteration, message qualification, etc.), interpersonal (e.g., establish rapport, negotiate identities), and instructional functions (e.g., negotiate task instruction, disciplining, etc.). The study provided insights on classroom code-switching practice in online settings to encourage teachers to efficiently use code-switching to support their online classroom teaching and learning.

Abstract

The importance of language in human life cannot be overstated. People may readily interact with others through language, and many of us have used implicature in a conversation, not just in everyday speech but also in a movie. A movie is a collection of audio-visual images depicting character conversation; the language used in that communication has implications and meaning. The goal of this research is to investigate a conversational implicature. Conversation analysis was used in the study. A dialogue screenplay from Alice through the Looking Glass was used as the data. The information was acquired via downloading the film 'Alice through the Looking Glass,' watching and listening to it, transcribing the spoken utterances into written utterances, and then analysing the transcription. All variants of conversational implicature, including generalized conversational implicature (GCI), scalar implicature, and particularised conversational implicature, were revealed in a dialogue script by George Yule (1996). GCI was realized in 8%, scalar was realized in 52%, and particularised conversational implicature was realized in 8%. The data presented above demonstrate that particularised, generalized, and scalar implicatures are connected and complementary in implicatures, despite the fact that particular conversational implicatures are a type of conversational implicature distinct from general conversational implicatures. However, the fact that the researchers felt using conversation analysis in a movie dialogue script was a smart idea in this research. Further research was expected to continue by employing another movie's script at a different level to provide a different perspective.

Abstract

In learning a language, students must learn about linguistics and its branches to know the context of language, the origin of words and how they are formed. This study aimed to investigate word-formation by exposing Yule’s (2010) theory in students’ writing. This research focused on how many word-formations existed and how the word-formation process was applied in students’ writing. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted to analyze the gathered data to fulfill the research objectives. The data were collected through observation. The participants in this research were 18 students of Universitas Negeri Semarang attending Academic Writing class. The findings show that the students applied 599 processes which fall under five types of word-formations. They could be categorized into blending, compounding, clipping, derivation, and inflection. The students applied less blending and clipping word-formation processes. In addition, there were some problems in applying the word-formation process. Some students were confused about how to form blending and clipping. Hopefully, this research will give significant contribution as reference in understanding word formation. The present study is expected to contribute to teaching and learning of word-based lexical studies in general and word-formations in particular.

Abstract

“Colours Magazine” is an official monthly publication magazine of Garuda Indonesia Airlines. It is a bilingual magazine written in English and Bahasa Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Newmark’s translation procedures and its resulting grammatical equivalence between the source text (ST) and target text (TT). This study focused on the implementation of (1) the transference procedure; (2) the naturalization procedure; (3) the cultural equivalent procedure; (4) the synonymy procedure; (5) the modulation procedure; (6) the couplets procedure; (7) the grammatical equivalence achievements through the use of those procedures. This research employed a descriptively qualitative approach. The study findings reveal that transference is the most dominant procedure, which is used 61 times. Couplets are the second rank which has been used 36 times. The cultural equivalent is used 24 times and the naturalization procedure 14 times. At the same time, modulation is used 11 times and 13 times for synonymy. On the other hand, the researchers also found that implementing six translation procedures has resulted in 82 number equivalents, 126 tense equivalents, and 125 voice equivalent sentences. 25 non-equivalent sentences in the number category happened because there are different habits of delivering singularity and plurality between ST and TT. In the tense grammatical category, there are 10 non-equivalent sentences caused by different rules between the source and target languages. While in the voice category, there are 8 non-equivalent sentences caused by the changing of the words, the use of specific terms, and the changing of subject position.

Abstract

Nowadays there are a lot of international seminars in various fields of subjects conducted around the world to share ideas, research results, new regulations, a new decree, new theory, and so on. Most of the time the representative of the committee in the international seminar finds it difficult to shape the best guidance for the speech text at the closing ceremony. People tend to search for other examples of closing speech to shape their closing ceremony speech text to be the better one because every speech is an opportunity to affect people’s behaviours, beliefs, or actions by the attitude. However, there is no standard called generic structure and attitude which is quite special only for closing speech type. For that reason, the research objectives are to analyse the structures and attitude resources in closing speeches; and to analyse the relationship between structures and attitudes in closing ceremony speeches through the SFL approach. This is a qualitative study that employs the theory of appraisal and a basic understanding of generic structure in the SFL perspective. There are several structures generally found in each closing speech, namely addressee, identification of the speaker, encapsulation of event, valuation of event, wish/hope, special thank, and final thank. The positive valuations are the highest attitude resources found in the closing speeches. The result of this research is benefited to ELT in which the English language teacher can enrich the types of potential generic structure of the text, especially closing speech text.

Abstract

Since the Covid-19 pandemic is affecting the new educational environments, synchronous and asynchronous e-learning environments have been integrated into the teaching and learning process. This study aims to explain how significant the students’ achievement is taught in e-learning environments in teaching writing to students with different personalities. The design of this study was a quasi-experimental design with a 2×2 factorial design. This study was conducted on the eighth-grade students at SMP N 2 Mantup. The questionnaire and written test were carried out by t-test and two-way ANOVA. This study discovered a relationship between the e-learning environments and students' personalities, which influences their ability to write recount texts. This research showed that an asynchronous e-learning environment was effective for students with introverted personalities, and a synchronous e-learning environment was effective for students with extroverted personalities. This study also compared the use of the e-learning environments for each personality in improving writing recount text. Thus, this study presented a new perspective on the importance of paying attention to students' personalities in selecting the e-learning environments to improve writing recount text. The contribution of this study provided to the ELT development was new insight on how effective the teaching implemented in a dual mode digital environment is, no matter what personality the students possess. Thus, it is proven that modern teaching has no boundary, spatially and temporally.

Abstract

English speaking skill can be difficult for students in any educational levels and environments to acquire. The challenge is also encountered by the students of the Islamic-based schools. This is caused by several factors, one of which is psychology. With the aforementioned problem, the researchers intended to find out how the psychological factors could affect students’ speaking ability. The investigation of this study focused on exploring the impact of anxiety, self-confidence, motivation and shyness on Islamic boarding school EFL learners’ speaking abilities. The research design is qualitative with observations, questionnaires, and interviews employed as the research instruments. Based on the analysis, state anxiety appeared to be the main problem for the students. Shy pupils avoid speaking, offer brief responses to queries in the target language, and prefer to remain alone. They have modest communication challenges, are sluggish to express their emotions, and often do not respond when others express their emotions. Self-confidence has an influence on pupils' speaking abilities. In other words, students with high self-confidence are more likely to speak English better than those of with low self-confidence. Another psychological factor - motivation could be influenced by two aspects: internal and external forces. The study's description is likely to be utilized as a consideration for other researchers conducting more research on psychological aspects influencing students' speaking ability in the English classroom.

Abstract

The education sector is one affected by the pandemic. The teachers and students are encouraged to conduct teaching and learning through online media. It is assumed that online learning involves the Politeness of students' utterances. Moreover, online learning brings out the characteristics of the realization of positive politeness strategies during the discussion. This study used Brown and Levinson's (1987) theory to investigate the realization of positive politeness strategies in the classroom discussion through online media by Pascasarjana Students at Universitas Negeri Semarang and the relationship between positive politeness strategies and interlocutors' responses. In addition, it used Levinson's (1983) theory to investigate the interlocutors' responses to politeness strategies. This research uses qualitative research with the data from the utterances during classroom discussion during a semester by Pascasarjana students in the 2019/2020 academic year. Transcription of speech data follows Sacks' transcription symbols (1998). The findings reveal the realization of fifteen positive politeness strategies. They also show the relation between the positive politeness strategies taken and the interlocutors' responses, categorized into preferred and dispreferred reactions. In contribution to the education sector, this study provides benefits for increasing students' understanding regarding the use of positive Politeness and interlocutors' responses, especially in Pragmatics. Moreover, the students are expected to create valuable communication. In addition, the study also benefits the student's comprehension of the factors that influence the relationship between positive politeness strategies and interlocutors' responses.
