Abstract

Comprehending the impact of gender on code-switching behaviors in student presentations is essential for educators to create effective communication tactics and inclusive teaching techniques. The objective of this study is to examine the occurrence and patterns of code-switching in student presentations, with a particular emphasis on gender disparities. The study aims to investigate the differences between male and female students in their utilization of intra-sentential, inter-sentential, and tag-switching techniques during presentations. This study utilized a qualitative methodology. The researchers examined 12 presentations and identified occurrences of code-switching according to Poplack's (1980) theory. The results indicated notable disparities between genders in code-switching tendencies. Female students exhibited a greater occurrence of intra-sentential switching, with a frequency of 73%, in contrast to male students, who had a frequency of 27%. Inter-sentential switching is the most frequently utilized sort of code-switching, while Tag-switching is the least commonly employed by students. The study's findings indicate that female students have a higher tendency to code-switch during presentations, namely in the forms of intra-sentential and inter-sentential code-switching. These observations emphasize the importance for educators to take into account gender dynamics when creating teaching practices that employ code-switching as a means of efficient communication.

Abstract

This thesis aims to describe the rhetorical style of discussion section in 30 research articles (RAs) in six different fields of study, which those were written by Indonesian authors and successfully published in highly reputable journals. The fields comprised social sciences, language, engineering, physics, chemistry, and computer science. The research was designed as a mixed study, both quantitative and qualitative, as well as content analysis. One of the used instruments was a table containing eight textual moves model in the discussion sessions found by Swales. However, analysis focus was limited to Move 1 to Move 6. Data formed numbers and percentages indicating the amount of stages involved in all of the chosen RAs. Data were also in the form of extracts (authors’ arguments) which showed the moves applied in their articles. The results exhibited that there was a varied use of rhetorical style on each RAs, but Move 5 was used in all selected RAs (100%) which proved that the discussion section required a profound elaboration of the obtained research results. Besides, there were 27 RAs (90%) involved Move 3 as the second most used move which contained arguments about the research results. The writing patterns were also considered varied. The RAs of language and social sciences owned tendency to address more moves, while physics, chemistry, engineering, and computer science even just applied 2 moves. In accordance with the results, the use of moves highly depended on certain study fields and features of used data. Different disciplines tended had dissimilar rhetorical structures. The findings proved that the rhetorical style in the content of articles published in high-reputation journals were diverse, so as producing acceptable RAs for being published in high-reputation journals does not necessitate to involve all moves. Nevertheless, Move 5 must be presented in each of RAs to explain the results of research. Key Words: Eight Textual Moves, Research Article, Rhetorical Style

Abstract: Semantic mapping has been demonstrated as practical teaching and learning technique for students at all grade levels. However, its use for speaking class has been relatively unexplored. The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of semantic mapping as a technique to improve students’ speaking ability. The research design of this study was quasi experimental design. The population comprised the seventh grade students of SMP Taba Renah, Musi Rawas in the academic year of 2015/2016 and the sample consisted of 44 students. The data were collected via test, observation and interview. In analyzing the data, for the pre-test it was found that there were not significant differences in speaking competence and its components in experimental and control class because P > 0.05. For the post-test, it was found that for total speaking competence P-value is 0.018, for vocabulary in speaking P-value is 0.001, for fluency in speaking P-value is 0.033, for pronunciation in speaking P-value is 0.060, and for grammar in speaking P-value is 0.348. So, there were significant differences in experimental & control class in vocabulary and fluency aspects because P < 0.05 but there were not significant difference in pronunciation and grammar aspects because P > 0.05. The finding shows that semantic mapping as technique is effective to be implemented in teaching English to improve students’ speaking ability, especially in vocabulary and fluency aspects but it is not in pronunciation and grammar
