Abstract

Students’ perceptions are very crucial for improving the quality of teaching and learning. However, the study of students’ perceptions of learning literature is very limited. Therefore, this study aims to explore EFL students’ perceptions of literary texts, challenges in learning literature, and out-of-class learning strategies. The study applied the descriptive quantitative method. The stratified random sampling technique was also employed. The samples (n = 122) were the EFL students at the National University of Battambang. The online survey questionnaire was used as the research instrument with the Likert scale of four choices (strongly disagree, disagree, agree, and strongly agree). The data was analyzed automatically by Google Forms. Three main results were revealed. First, the majority of students have positive perceptions of the literary text used in their class (76,61%), although some viewed vocabulary and grammatical structures as complicated elements. Second, although most of the students do not face many challenges in learning literature (62,38%), a large number of students believed that text difficulty, workload from other classes, and poor English proficiency cause difficulties for them. Third, despite the majority of students having better learning strategies (72.02%), a specific learning schedule, task completion before class, and learning discussion between peers are the learning activities that the rest of the students failed to implement. In conclusion, the literary texts are appropriate despite a few problematic aspects that might be accordingly adapted. Also, the teachers should pay attention to learners’ challenges and suggest better learning strategies to them.

Abstract

Learning Outcome (LO) is a formulation of learning outcomes expected to be met by students. LO is structured to equip the competencies that graduates want to achieve. Each course in a program carries LO content that students must achieve. Through the Semester Learning Plan (RPS) prepared by expert lecturers, it will be seen how the LO is provided through the learning process and how to measure it. This study aims to analyze the achievement of LO in 8 (eight) Study Programs at the University of Bengkulu's FKIP which are being proposed for international accreditation. This LO achievement analysis is also linked to the competence of lecturers. The LO used by the 8 Study Programs to meet the requirements of the IQF is in line with international frameworks, one of which is the Europian Qualification Framework (EQF). Therefore, the results of this study support the quality assurance of a program or institution in achieving one of the components of international accreditation. The results of this study found that the scientific fields of the lecturers in each study program were in accordance with the qualifications (qualified) and could be accounted for which was strengthened by the fact that almost all lecturers had the status of certified lecturers. This is supported by the number of reputable national and international publications, scientific works that are registered with copyrights, works in the form of books or book chapters that are registered with ISBNs and others. In addition, learning outcomes have been measured in each program and show readiness towards international accreditation.

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

As our curiosity has led us to wonder why Thai children's literature with a simple plot, like Jane Vejjajiva's The Happiness of Kati, could actually captivate readers all over the world. By analysing the figurative language in the book, with an emphasis on similes as the scope, we would then try to demonstrate the hypothesis that the writer's story and her writing style have a significant relationship. According to the study's objectives, a list of all the similes used in the novel would be included in the study's findings, along with a list of the most frequently used similes based on the meaning analysis classification and the precise meanings behind them. These sought to establish the connection between the story and the author's writing style. Analysing descriptive data was used in the research. The process of gathering the data implies locating the similes that frequently appear in phrases and sentences and using the conjunctions "like" or "as." Both Richard's (1936) and Fromilhague's (1995) theories—simile analysis and simile meaning analysis—were applied in data analysis. The examined data were reviewed in order to determine the relationship between the story and the writer's writing style. The study found that there are 78 similes in the novel. 63 explicit and 25 implicit similes, or 68% and 32%, respectively, were discovered through meaning analysis. The author's writing style in her novel greatly enhances the plot that she develops in a variety of ways.

Abstract

Unlike personal pronouns in English, personal pronouns in Khmer do not have the different forms of subject pronouns and object pronouns since a certain word can function both as a subject and as an object of a sentence. Another fact is that the personal pronouns in Khmer have many alternative words for one specific kind of personal pronouns based on the context in terms of age, social position or status, and intimacy. Therefore, the current study aims at investigating students’ abilities in translating personal pronouns from Khmer to English. Specifically, it intends to measure the proportion (percentage) of correct and incorrect translation, and explore types of errors within the translation. The qualitative study employed a set of translation exercises given to 40 students in a class of grade 10 in the first semester of the academic year 2022-2023. To investigate the kinds of errors, the researcher employed the framework of Corder (1974) which categorized errors into 4 types namely error of omission, addition, selection, and error of ordering. The results of the study showed that 82% of exercises were translated correctly. In addition, three types of errors were found. The error of omission was (51%) followed respectively by the error of selection (46%), and the error of addition (3%) but the error of ordering could not be found. The results suggested that the teacher should focus specifically more on the problematic areas of personal pronouns to help the students translate and learn personal pronouns better.
