Abstract

Learning strategy is an important factor in the success of achieving communicative language skills. Besides the awareness of using various strategies, applying technology in the language learning activity also becomes crucial for learners to succeed. However, learning strategies and the use of technologies by students of English Subjects at colleges and universities have not been widely found in the literature. For this reason, the research is aimed at finding out the application of strategies and technologies used by high proficiency students. The research is designed by combining both qualitative and quantitative research as the so-called Mixed Method. The participants involved were 33 high proficiency students in English subjects. They were taken based on the tests from 169 students spreading across four faculties at Universitas Bengkulu – Sumatera, Indonesia. After providing the test to determine the high proficiency student, the questionnaires were administered to collect the data related to the strategies and technologies applied by the students. Eventually, an interview was also undertaken to gain the qualitative data. Based on the questionnaire data, it was found that the students applied all learning strategies, namely: memory, cognitive, metacognitive, compensation, affective, and social strategies. Of the six strategies, metacognitive was the strategy mostly used with a mean score of 3.771 and followed by cognitive strategy with 3.643 points. Meanwhile, the least used ones were compensation and social, which have a value of 3.419 and 3.460, respectively. In addition, based on the interview, the use of technology as a learning strategy was also concluded. The high proficiency students applied various technologies such as mobile phones, various Internet Websites, and language applications to practice English. Of these various technologies, mobile phones were the most dominant.

Abstract

This study investigates address terms received by Queen Elizabeth in animated series entitled The Prince. It classifies address terms into seven types, namely first name, title plus last name, title only, last name, special nickname, pet name, and kinship term. It also identifies the social factors behind the use of certain address terms. Those factors are particular occasion, social status, gender, age, family relationship, occupational hierarchy, race, and degree of intimacy. The data were taken from the subtitles of this animated series. The results show that the most frequently used address terms were kinship terms with 37 (49%) occurrences. However, Queen Elizabeth in this animated series never received a first name, title plus last name, and last name as address terms. Addressing the queen in the series was mainly influenced by the gender of the addressee, familial ties, and the degree of intimacy between the addressers and the addressee. On the other hand, the address terms were never influenced by factors such as race, transactional status, occupational hierarchy, and age. The findings suggest that Queen Elizabeth received address terms that were mostly gender-specific and intimate. The majority of address terms that Queen Elizabeth received in this series came from her family members, while small minority of them were uttered by the servants and other characters who were not her family members.
