Abstract

AbstractThis study analysed text readability on English textbooks of grade 11th and 12th on Indonesian senior high school with FKGL Formula available online at www.readable.com . This study utilised the Flesch Kincaid Grade Level formula by Rudolph Flesch (1948), through quantitative methods. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of readability of the reading texts in those two textbooks. The data of reading texts were 5 reading texts of grade 11th taken by using simple random sampling (recount and expository texts, to represent from a lot of texts) while 5 reading texts of grade 12th (procedure and expository texts to represent from a lot of texts). The results of this study indicate that the textbook is too easy to read and to comprehend for grade 11th of senior high school, does not 1 text that corresponds to grade 11. Hence, an average of 6.8 is obtained in grade 11th and is estimated for grades 7th. And an average of 11.6 in grade 12th is suitable for grade 12th with estimates for grades 12th. This is consistent with the scale of the FKGL calculation readability formula with a scale of 0-12 (such as score 7.1 is suitable for grade 7th, and 7.5 is suitable for grade 8th). Thus, an analysis of the level of readability of English textbooks is needed as the best information and best contribution for reading educators.Key Words: Readability, Textbook, and Flesch Kincaid Grade Level Formula  AbstrakPenelitian ini menganalisis keterbacaan teks pada buku teks bahasa Inggris kelas 11 dan 12 di SMA Indonesia dengan Formula FKGL diakses dari www.readable.com .

Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa buku teks itu terlalu mudah dibaca dan dipahami untuk kelas 11 SMA, dan memperoleh tidak 1 teks yang sesuai dengan kelas 11. Dan buku kelas 12 sesuai dengan tingkat kelas 12, memperoleh 1 teks yang sesuai dengan kelas 12. Namun, dalam hasil akhir perhitungan teks rata-rata dinyatakan bahwa, setiap buku teks kelas 11 tidak cocok untuk pembaca target kelas 11. Karena rata-rata 6,8 diperoleh di kelas 11 dan diperkirakan untuk kelas 7. Dan rata-rata 11,6 di kelas 12 sesuai untuk kelas 12 dengan perkiraan untuk kelas 12 dan 13. Ini konsisten dengan skala formula keterbacaan perhitungan FKGL dengan skala 0-12 (seperti skor 7.1 cocok untuk kelas 7, dan 7,5 cocok untuk kelas 8).

Four reading texts in each book respectively selected based on text genre and word length. Coh-Metrix 3.0 was utilised. Descriptive statistics were presented, and Independent T-test was conducted to perceive differences on texts in the two textbooks. Finally, it was found that between grade 10 and grade 12, the complexity on both lexical and syntactical aspects showed no difference, but texts in grade 10 tend to produce significantly more consistent of the syntactic constructions than grade 12. It is suggested that texts in grade 12 should be revised to meet reading texts based on their levels relating to character of sophistication of language complexity.Keywords: Lexical Complexity, Reading, Syntactical Complexity  AbstrakPenelitian ini mengkaji kompleksitas pada teks, terutama yang berhubungan pada kompleksitas leksikal/semantik dan sintaktik.

Abstract

This research is aimed to describe the syntactic and lexical variations of Madurese language based on different ages and regions in Madura. This is due to the changing phenomena of language especially Madurese due to socioeconomic and technological development. Participants of this study were youths and old groups from different regions. Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively in accordance to the research problems. It was found out that syntactically, Madurese language has similar basic word order structure as Indonesian language. The possessive structure is determined by the last sound of the word, either vocal or consonant. Other structures, noun phrase, prepositions, adjective clause, nonverbal clause, and existential clause are much similar to that of Indonesian language. No differences were found in terms of syntactic variations among different ages and regions in Madura. In terms of lexical, some variations do occur as attributed to the socio-cultural background of each speaker. The level of politeness indicates that social level influences the choice of lexical terms used by speakers based on different ages and regions in Madura.

Parental guidance can be seen as one of the determining factors to assist students in elevating their academic achievement. This study intends to discover the relationship between parental involvement and their children's second language (L2) vocabulary achievement, and the degree to which the levels of parents' educational background explain L2 vocabulary achievement. The data for this study were elicited from teachers' assessment of L2 vocabulary performance for 30 students and questionnaire responses involving 30 parents regarding parental involvements on their children’s learning. The study revealed that there was a significant correlation between parental involvement and students' vocabulary achievement in an Indonesian foreign language learning in an elementary school context. In addition, this study also demonstrated that parents' educational background explained the levels of support involvement which in turn influenced students' vocabulary achievement. The overall findings of this study also about the pivotal role of parental involvement and their educational background in enhancing their children’s achievement in terms of vocabulary learning are also discussed in terms of pedagogical implications.

Moreover, this study also examine whether the differences existed in motivation between old students and new students. The data collected were analyzed by using SPSS program to find out the mean score and standard deviation as to answer the questions of this study. The results indicated that students’ motivation in learning English was more highly instrumental than integrative. This study also revealed that new students had more instrumental motivation and old students had more integrative motivation.
