Abstract

One of the Strategies of Contextual Teaching and Learning is authentic assessment, which can provide valid and accurate information about what students really know and are able to do, or about the quality of educational programs. One of its forms is performance assessment. It requires students to demonstrate the application of knowledge to a particular context. The prevailing philosophy of performance assessment is that it provides ways to improve achievement, demonstrate exactly what a student does or does not understand, relate learning experiences to instruction, and combine assessment with teaching. Despite the benefits, some teachers are hesitant to implement it because they do not have enough knowledge about how to assess a students performance properly. Since in performance assessment there are degrees to which a student is successful or unsuccessful, the performance should be evaluated in such a way that it allows teachers to consider those degrees, that is by creating rubrics. This paper attempts at discussing basic steps in implementing performance assessment in general and developing scoring rubrics in particular.Key words: performance, assessment, scoring rubric, analytic, and holistic

Abstract

Paraphrase is one of the techniques of incorporating sources in which every writer is allowed to borrow the author’s ideas and restate them into their own words. Based on the previous study, it was found that English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) students, Sanata Dharma University, were unable to paraphrase properly since they tended to copy the author’s words directly. If this problem was continuously ignored, it would be dangerous for the students because they could be charged with inadvertent plagiarism. This study was intended to investigate ELESP students’ problems in writing paraphrases and the reasons why they produce unacceptable paraphrases by conducting document analysis and interview in Research Paper Writing class. From the findings, it could be identified that the most frequent type of problem encountered by the students was word-for-word plagiarism. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2012.150101

Abstract

Subject-verb agreement is an essential element to master by English LanguageEducation Study Program (ELESP) students, who are prepared to be English teachers in the future. However, the researchers still find the fact that ELESP students make the errors on the agreement. For that reason, it would be significant to find out the errors made by the students as well as to discover the factors behind the errors. To achieve those purposes, the researchers conducted a document analysis and a semi-structure interview.The research results showed most of the errors belonged to misinformation category (71.4%) and were subsequently followed by omission category (17.9%) and addition category (10.7%). In addition, from the interview, the researchers also found five (5) major factors that caused the students to make the errors, namely interlingual error, ignorance of rule restrictions, incomplete application of rules, false concepts hypothesized, and carelessness. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2012.150204

Abstract

Due to the minimum language exposure that EFL learners have, one recommended way to promote interest in foreign language reading is through Extensive Reading. This kind of reading has gained popularity over the years, ever since it was introduced to the realm of foreign language learning. It has been shown to bring a lot of benefits for L2 learners in many respects, and, consequently, it has been implemented in a variety of contexts. However, the implementation of Extensive Reading has sometimes been criticized for its not observing the outlined principles, for instance, in the issues of the absence of pleasure in its undertaking and the inclusion of inappropriate post-reading activities. This paper aims at revisiting Extensive Reading along with its pertaining principles. In addition, it proposes an alternative framework to implement Extensive Reading with Indonesian EFL university students. It will specifically cast some light on how to implement supervised (or instructed) Extensive Reading. DOI: doi.org/10.24071/llt.2018.210210

Abstract

Communication happens not only in spoken form, but also in written form. Newspaper, as one form of written communication, provides ways for people to show their opinion, intention, and thought. In the way people communicate by using language,modals enable people to show something which is not simply positive or negative and each modal has some functions to show people’s thought, intentions, or opinion. This study dealt with how modals were used by the commentators in Text Your Say of The Jakarta Post. To solve the problem, the theories from Azar and Hagen (2009) and Leech and Svartvik (1994) were employed.The findings showed that there were 225 modals found in Text Your Say of The Jakarta Post issued in November 2012. They consisted of may, might, should, had better, be supposed to, must, have to, will, can, could, be able to, and would. They were used by the commentators to show some functions. The functions were to show 50% or less certainty, 90% certainty, 95% certainty, 100% certainty, ability/possibility, past ability, impossibility, necessity, strong necessity, advisability, suggestion, prohibition, expectation, unfulfilled wish/hypothesis, willingness, polite for “want”, and fulfilled future condition in the past. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2013.160102

Abstract

The role of broadcasted advertisements is undeniably important for the companies to market their products. To convince the audience, advertisers have to convey the persuasive message through the use of linguistic features. Those linguistic features will influence the persuasion techniques used in advertisements and the power relation which is built between the companies and the consumers. This study attempted to s olve two research problems related to the language style of the utterances in Magnum advertisements. They were (1) What are the linguistic features of Magnum advertisements? (2) What kind of power relation does Magnum have upon consumers through the advertisements As an endeavor to solve those two problems, document analysis was employed in analyzing the transcript of the utterances in ten (10) Magnum advertisements. The first research problem was solved by categorizing the words or the sentences into some linguistic features of advertising language proposed by Grey (2008). The second research problem was solved by interpreting the power relation in Magnum advertisements based on French’s and Raven’s theory (1959). From the obtained data, it was found that there were only a few linguistic features which appeared in Magnum advertisements. The power relation between the companies and the consumers could be defined easily because the utterances were clear enough. Furthermore, the simplicity of Magnum advertisements presented Magnum’s special characteristics albeit the advertisers did not vary the language style. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2013.160104

Abstract

Women are believed to speak differently from men. They carry certain features which are distinctive in their speech (Lakoff, 2004). However, some women are found to speak differently from women’s speech in general. This phenomenon is reflected in the use of language by Nicki Minaj, one of the judges of American Idol Season 12, whose speech stands out above the rest of the other women. The study investigates Nicki Minaj’s comments in American Idol Season 12 in terms of women’s language features. It focuses on two issues, namely how the language used by Nicki Minaj in American Idol Season 12 conforms to women’s language features and what possible factors cause the absence of women’s language features in Nicki Minaj’s comments to the contestants of American Idol Season 12. To find answers to the two questions, document analysis was employed, in which seven videos of live performances taken from American Idol Season 12 were examined. The findings revealed that women’s language features which appeared in Nicki Minaj’s comments were intensifier, emphatic stress, filler, rising intonation, and lexical hedge. The rest of the features did not appear in her speech; they were tag question, ‘empty’ adjective, precise colour term, ‘hypercorrect’ grammar, ‘superpolite’ form, and avoidance of strong swear words. This phenomenon can be accounted for by four possible factors that cause their absence in Nicki Minaj’s comments to the contestants of American Idol Season 12. They were father’s speech, ethnicity, community of practice, and different social psychological perceptions. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/ijhs.2018.010204

Abstract

Academic reading is an inescapable task in higher education. Due to its importance for study success, students are required to maintain their academic reading engagement. With engagement, they would be enabled to persevere and be more spirited in their reading efforts. However, not all students perceive academic reading positively, particularly in EFL learning environment where English reading is seen as something daunting. Academic reading engagement is essentially determined by a number of dimensions, one of which is affective dimension. This research aims to portray the affective dimension of the academic reading engagement among student teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in a teacher-training university in Indonesia. Eight EFL student teachers were selected from three classes of an English content course which required a lot of academic reading. These student teachers were interviewed using a semi-structured guide. The results show that many EFL student teachers’ efforts in coping with course-related reading materials were externally driven. They showed low liking for learning, demonstrated little enthusiasm, interest, enjoyment, and confidence in relation to academic reading. Also, they did not always understand the values of academic reading and text relevance for their development as teachers.
