Abstract

This current research reveals how President Trump grammatically constructed his clauses to trivialize the coronavirus (COVID-19). This research uses a discourse analysis approach with a qualitative design. The research data are President Trump’s trivializing clauses (192 main clauses) taken from his speeches, press interviews, remarks, and tweets from January 2020 to June 2020. Hallidayan SFL and Straker’s technique of trivialization are used as the basis of analysis. The result shows that most of the trivializing clauses are declarative while the others are interrogative and imperative. It is also identified that the declarative mood (statements of opinion and fact) reflects the techniques of sneaking through, trivializing the target, and discounting the target. The interrogative mood (rhetorical questions) demonstrates the technique of discounting the target. In addition, the imperative mood (directives) reflects the technique of sneaking through. Finally, the result also shows that oversimplification, severity decrease, and exaggeration characterize President Trump’s trivializing clauses.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze learners' vocabulary mastery skills in narrative text. For example, in what kind of word class do the learner have difficulties, how it manifests, and how do the difficulties occur. This research uses only three-word classes: Verb, Noun, and Adjective. To analyze the data, the researcher used the descriptive qualitative method. The participants of this study consist of 4 students at tenth graders of MA Umar Zahid Perak with a score below minimum competency in the final semester test. The data were collected by giving respondents a test on narrative text. This research gives information about students' vocabulary mastery in narrative text. There are four problems encountered by students, namely: Incorrect active/passive voice, diction selection errors, incorrect word order, and incorrect word class. Most errors occur in the Verb word class, and the most frequent error is incorrect active/passive voice. Based on the results of this study, the teacher should anticipate identified errors in the categories of the verb, noun, and adjective.

Abstract

This current research was conducted to design a teaching medium for teaching reading on narrative texts for grade X. The methodology applied in the research is a 'design research methodology' covering three phases: Preliminary Research; Design Phase; and Assessment Phase. Based on interview with the teacher, the needs could be identified as follow: there was no appropriate media used in teaching reading, the books used not sufficient for students to practice, e-bank can be applied in the class, reading text was needed narrative text, media can used offline, and provide 100 more exercise practice for e-bank. After getting information about the needs, the product was designed and developed based on them. After the prototype was created it was then validated by an expert. In general, the expert?s evaluation was concerned with: the grammatical error and adding more questions about main idea and generic structure. Besides it was also suggested to add sound in the text. The final stage was done through an assessment by the teacher (the end user of the product). The benefit of this research is to make it the teacher have alternative teaching materials and easy to access because they are too easily accessible via mobile phones. And also the students can use in practicing various questions about reading narrative text more easily.
