Abstract

Oral communication among global speakers needs good pronunciation to be successful. Regardless of its important function and role, EFL teachers often ignore pronunciation in their language teaching and oftentimes they are very lenient towards mispronunciation, which potentially hampers actual oral communication beyond language classrooms. An exploration into EFL teachers’ teaching beliefs is thus necessitated since such beliefs are mutually capable of influencing their classroom behaviors. In the effort to fill the gap of the previous research, the current study attempted to unveil teacher educators’ beliefs on teaching English pronunciation in Indonesian EFL context as well as to describe in what ways their classroom practices matched their beliefs. A qualitative research design using a semi-structured interview was employed to collect data from three Indonesian teacher educators who were experienced in teaching EFL. Similar findings to prior studies were discovered about their teaching beliefs, with one inconclusive issue remaining about teaching prioritization. Their classroom practices also generally went hand in hand with their underlying beliefs. One noteworthy finding that surfaced was the idea to have a dedicated English class for pronunciation, especially in the context of training prospective EFL teachers.

Abstract

Subject-verb agreement is an essential element to master by English LanguageEducation Study Program (ELESP) students, who are prepared to be English teachersin the future. However, the researchers still find the fact that ELESP students makethe errors on the agreement. For that reason, it would be significant to find out theerrors 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 asemi-structure interview.The research results showed most of the errors belongedto misinformation category (71.4%) and were subsequently followed by omissioncategory (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 makethe errors, namely interlingual error, ignorance of rule restrictions, incompleteapplication of rules, false concepts hypothesized, and carelessness.DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2012.150204

Abstract

The role of broadcasted advertisements is undeniably important for thecompanies to market their products. To convince the audience, advertisers have toconvey the persuasive message through the use of linguistic features. Those linguisticfeatures will influence the persuasion techniques used in advertisements and thepower relation which is built between the companies and the consumers.This study attempted to s olve two research problems related to the languagestyle of the utterances in Magnum advertisements. They were (1) What are thelinguistic features of Magnum advertisements? (2) What kind of power relation doesMagnum 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 sentencesinto some linguistic features of advertising language proposed by Grey (2008). Thesecond research problem was solved by interpreting the power relation in Magnumadvertisements based on Frenchs and Ravens theory (1959).From the obtained data, it was found that there were only a few linguisticfeatures which appeared in Magnum advertisements. The power relation betweenthe companies and the consumers could be defined easily because the utteranceswere clear enough. Furthermore, the simplicity of Magnum advertisements presentedMagnums special characteristics albeit the advertisers did not vary the languagestyle.

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. Extensive Reading 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. This article aims at revisiting Extensive Reading along with its pertaining principles. In addition, it attempts to scrutinize a number of recent studies conducted in the area of Extensive Reading to discover current trends and possible areas which are open for further exploration.

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 student's 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

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 womens 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 Minajs comments in American Idol Season 12 in terms of womens language features. It focuses on two issues, namely how the language used by Nicki Minaj in American Idol Season 12 conforms to womens language features and what possible factors cause the absence of womens language features in Nicki Minajs 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 womens language features which appeared in Nicki Minajs 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 Minajs comments to the contestants of American Idol Season 12. They were fathers speech, ethnicity, community of practice, and different social psychological perceptions.

Abstract

Text messages have become common media of communication in this era. Face-to-face interactions between teachers and students have often been replaced by virtual communication through these media. In practice, such a communication may create breakdown due to the language which is used in them. Politeness features which serve an essential buffer for a successful interaction are sometimes neglected. The research was aimed at analyzing politeness issues appearing in English and Indonesian text messages. The communication took place between Indonesian students at the English Education Department of Sanata Dharma University Yogyakarta and their teachers. Thirty text messages were collected from various teachers and then they were analyzed. The analysis revealed that there were features in the text messages which did not abide by the principles of politeness. It could be seen among others from the diction and absence of greetings and address terms. The situation was potentially able to induce discomfort on the receiver’s part and it may affect the flow and success of communication. From the findings it could be concluded that not all of the senders had sociolinguistic competence. Such senders often disregarded the concepts of social distance and power relation, which should actually be taken into consideration while texting their teachers.

Abstract

Journals have received an increased interest in education context. They have been found to be a fruitful way of communication between teacher and students. Liuolienė & Metiūnienė (2009) mention some purposes of journal writing. It can create a positive atmosphere for learning and foster deep learning by making learners relate new knowledge with the previous one. Moreover, as confirmed by Boud (2001), journal writing encourages students to articulate their level of understanding. It is part of reflective learning and a tool to facilitate language skill development. Through this activity learners are shaped to become reflective, which is crucial for their learning advancement. The study aimed at describing the effects of journal writing on ELESP students in three courses from different semesters. They were Structure I, Textual Pronunciation, and Micro Teaching classes. The sources of the data were the students’ reflective writings. From the analysis it was discovered that the students gained benefits from the use of journal writing in their classes. They showed that they became reflective learners, who could make meaning of what they learned. They were also trained to be more critical of their own ability, and hence were more able to find ways to advance. By so doing, their autonomy in learning was developed.
