Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate the correlation between metacognitive and language exposure to TOEFL of reading section. The framework of metacognitive was promoted by Veenman et al. and the model of language exposure was promoted by Magno et al. (2009). This research implemented a descriptive qualitative study. The questionnaire and rubricof metacognitive were applied as research instruments respectively. Furthermore, ten freshmen at Syiah Kuala University from various majors considered as strategic readers whose TOEFL score ranges of 400 above. It is prominently revealed that language exposures have a contribution for strategic readers in answering TOEFL in the reading section, in particular,media exposure. The respondents have a tendency to seek out the media availability as the major side on mastering reading TOEFL meanwhile language exposure at home is the lowest impact on students. In addition, metacognitive awareness has an impact on students’ performance in answering reading test of TOEFL the metacognition implementation, the students are eventually categorized on knowledge regulation in which the students relate the knowledge of TOEFL into planning, implementing strategies or information management, monitoring, correcting/debugging, and evaluating comprehension. It is assumed that this study has weakness on informants taken therefore as further studies, the researcher trigger to probe students of 500 TOEFL score above to investigate their learning strategy and language exposures accordingly.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate communication speaking skill strategies applied by two groups of English foreign language learners in two boarding senior high schools in Aceh, Indonesia. Of the successful group, there were 52 learners and of the less successful group 24 learners. To collect the data, this study employed the observation sheet adapted by Tarone(1978), which determined nine categories of communication strategies; approximation, word coinage, circumlocution, literal translation, language switch, mime, appeal for assistance, topic avoidance, and message abandonment. The students were observed during their speaking class. The result of this research is the literal translation, approximation, and language switchbecome the most frequent strategies used by the less successful learners. It implies that the students have had difficulties communicating in the target language. On the other hand, successful learners prefer to use approximation, literal translation, and appeal for assistance strategies. It implies that the students tend to speak and communicate well, if not yet fluently. Based on the findings, it is suggested that English teachers should introduce several communication strategies for both groups of learners to improve their effective communication.

Bermain peran adalah teknik penting dan utama dalam CLT (Pembelajaran Bahasa Secara Komunikatif), karena memberi siswa banyak prospek untuk berlatih mengkomunikasikan berbagai konteks sosial dan peran sosial yang berbeda. Mengacu pada permainan peran dengan cara melihat pengalaman guru EFL (Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing) dan perspektif siswa tentang teknik permainan peran dalam pengajaran berbicara dengan menggunakan desain kualitatif. Studi ini memberikan kerangka kerja untuk instrumen lembar observasi yang diadaptasi dari J. Brown (2001), catatan lapangan yang diadaptasi dari C. Marshall & G.B. Rossman (2006), dan panduan wawancara yang juga mengadaptasi kuesioner dari P. Islami & T. Islami (2013). Metodologi tersebut menetapkan kombinasi empat hal penting untuk mengungkapkan secara mendalam urgensi permainan peran yang diterapkan sejak 1936. Hasil wawancara mengungkapkan mengenai guru bahasa Inggris yang mengklaim bahwa bermain peran adalah teknik yang diterapkan untuk mempromosikan pembelajaran dan ini diperkuat oleh hasil catatan lapangan. Selain itu, berbicara tentang perspektif siswa menggambarkan bahwa para siswa benar-benar menyetujui kegunaan bermain peran untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara dan motivasi mereka. Dengan demikian, siswa menegaskan bahwa pembelajaran lebih menyenangkan dan menggembirakan melalui bermain peran. Para peneliti merekomendasikan untuk melihat secara mendalam penalaran tentang sudut pandang siswa dalam hal penerapan teknik bermain peran di kelas non-Inggris. Dan mengingat betapa ada manfaatnya, maka hal itu perlu dilakukan bermain peran di kelas yang lebih besar.KATA KUNCI: Perspektif; Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing; Menata Pengamatan; Bermain Peran; Kemampuan Berkomunikasi.    About the Authors: Ika Apriani Fata, Usman Kasim, and Dwi Juniyana are the Lecturers at the Department of English Education, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education UNSYIAH (University of Syiah Kuala), Jalan Krueng Kale No.21, Banda Aceh, Nanggoe Aceh Darussalam, Indonesia.

Abstract

Laughter is an easily reachable way that can be used to erase barriers of communication for educational purposes. The purpose of this paper is to seek out students’ perception of humor added in teaching English and how that humor influenced students’ engagement in English classroom activity. This study employs research instrument of questionnaire and observation concepts through qualitative design. There are 78 students of multi-background: gender, level of intelligence and social background as research participants. These backgroundsareintended to obtain objective perception of the students. The findings revealed that the majority of students believed the teacher’s humor could prevent them from feeling stress of learning English, develop a better relationship between teacher and students, help them remember and understand the lesson, encourage them to be more active in the classroom and ease them in learning English. However there are some obstacles to overcome during humor application that apparently the English teachers need to build a good relationship and mutual trust with students and understand students’ interests, likes and dislikes prior to applying humor, so that the humor would be more likely to be welcomed and it would not cause emotional and psychological impact such as bullying and etc for the students.

Abstract

The phenomenon of woman and man portrayal have been merely discussed world wide. Many viewpoints such as: media, politics, health, cultural studies, gender concerned on this topic. However, only a few of them was trying to seek out the language features attributed for women representation. Accordingly, to fill in this gap, this research aims at describing semiotical sign analysis of woman portrayal in media. A number of four corpus of Serambi Indonesia were analyzed based on two signification semiotics interpretations by Barthes (1967). The result eventually revealed that the language features attributed for women in the newspaper are woman as animal, as properties, as trigger of sins, as peaceful guard,  those are considered as terms of denotative signification meaning. Meanwhile, the connotative meaning divided into two understandings; veil and evil, introducing positive and negative representation towards women. Finally it is expected that for further studies involve systemic functional linguistics or corpus linguistics towards other discourses as media to further develop the conclusions drawn from this present study.Keywords:  Woman; Aceh; Semiotics; Portrayal

Abstract

Jamee language is one of the languages spoken in Aceh Province, in the super-diverse country, Indonesia. Previous studies have noted inconsistencies in the number of oral monophthong vowels produced by the Jamee speakers. Accordingly, this research aims to investigate the qualities of the oral monophthong vowels of the Jamee language that are still spoken today. Ten female speakers were chosen as the informants to provide data for this research. They were recorded to produce words that contained the target vowels. The recordings were then transferred to Praat software in spectrograms, and measurements on the midpoint of each vowel for their F1 and F2 in Hertz were conducted. In Excel, the measurements were converted in the Bark scale, and the average values of each vowel were plotted on an F1-F2 chart. The results further showed that there are currently seven monophthong vowels in this language, they are /i/, /e/, /ɛ/, /a/, /o/, /u/ and /ↄ/. This acoustic study has calculated the approximate measurements for the vowels based on their F1 and F2 from the spectrograms in Praat. The qualities of these vowels are /i/ with F1 = 463 Hz and F2 = 2484 Hz, /e/ with F1 = 550 Hz and F2 = 2493 Hz, /ɛ/ with F1 = 641 Hz and F2 = 2412 Hz, /o/ with F1 = 535 Hz and F2 = 1434 Hz, /ↄ/ with F1 = 713 Hz and F2 = 1312 Hz, /u/ with F1 = 489 Hz and F2 = 1165 Hz, and finally /a/with F1 = 887 Hz and F2 = 1898 Hz. The findings of this research are seen as pivotal in the field of phonology as it assists linguists in documenting and preserving a minority language in Aceh Province, Indonesia.

Abstract

This research intends to acoustically analyze English oral vowels produced by the female and male speakers of English teacher candidates in Indonesia, specifically from Aceh Besar. Previous studies have focused on the production of English vowels produced by the Malaysians, Thais, Singaporeans, and the Philippines, among others, but no research has focused on the Indonesian speakers. Hence, this study intends to fill in this research gap. Purposive sampling was used to select five female and five male participants with age ranging from 18-22 years old and born, raised and live in Aceh Besar. Data were recorded in the phonetics laboratory at Syiah Kuala University. The vowels were collected through elicitations of English words which contained the target vowels articulated in carrier sentences. The wordlist is adapted from Pillai, Manueli and Dumanig (2010). The recordings were saved in WAV files, and Praat software version 6.0.14 (Boersma Weenink, 2016) was used to analyze the vowel qualities. The results showed approximate measurements of the English vowels produced by Indonesians who reside in Aceh, by both male and female speakers. The results are expected to become starting points for future related research in the production of English vowels by Indonesian speakers (i.e. English vowel contrasts between native speakers of English and Indonesians, varieties of English, Indonesian English, etc.).
