Abstract

The ability to implement the Thematic development is important in writing exposition text. Moreover, the exposition text is written to convince the readers. It means the writers are required to achieve the readers’ expectation. This study therefore aims to explore EFL learners’ exposition texts using Thematic progressions. The analysis of this element reveals the logical relations which become the main aspect in the text to achieve micro-level of coherence. Three exposition texts written by high, average and low proficiency level learners, are analyzed using systemic functional linguistics approaches on discourse analysis. The analysis reveals that the exposition text written by high proficiency level learner successfully implements the Thematic progressions and hence it achieves the micro-level of coherence. The Theme re-iteration patterns are implemented to keep the text focused. The zig-zag patterns are used to construct newly introduced information. Then, the multiple Theme patterns are implemented, especially in thesis statements of the texts, to preview the argument that will follow in the texts. Differently, the exposition text written by average proficiency level learner overuses one of the patterns, namely the Theme re-iteration patterns. This makes the text stuck in only same idea. However, the micro-level of coherence is still achieved as the logical relations of the text are still implemented successfully. Lastly, the exposition text written by low proficiency level learner unsuccessfully implements the Thematic progressions and hence the micro-level of coherence is not achieved. In sum, the implementation of Thematic progressions helps the texts to hang together and make sense.

Abstract

In 2020, conducting education in distance is obligatory since the education must continue while the world is still fighting with the coronavirus disease and one of the ways of teaching in distance learning is using ICT. While several studies have investigated teachers’ attitudes of using ICT in face to face classrooms, few studies investigate teachers’ attitudes of using ICT in distance learning. This study examines 52 teachers’ attitudes and problems in using ICT in EFL distance learning in a language development center. The questionnaires are delivered and the interview is conducted to collect the data that disclose the teachers’ attitudes and problems of using ICT in distance learning. After analyzing the data, the findings in this study indicate that the teachers have positive attitudes toward the use of ICT in distance learning. The problems that occur when using ICT in distance learning are further discussed and possible suggestions are presented.

Abstract

Social contexts play important roles in the conversations.  The speakers need to always refer to those contexts when conversing.  Moreover, conversations do not only contain literal meanings but also meanings beyond the utterances.  This study therefore aims to reveal the social contexts that influence how the participants talk and produce conversational implicatures in the conversations, particularly among family members.  Four participants are involved with this study.  They are a father, mother, son and daughter from one family.  The data are taken from the conversations that occur only before school and father’s work using recording and note taking.  This study shows that the conversation among those four participants is rich of conversational implicatures.  There are several types of conversational implicatures found in this study.  Those are standard implicature with the highest emergence, particularized conversational implicature, generalized conversational implicature, and a deliberate flouting of the maxims.  This study concludes that the use of conversational implicature is strongly influenced by the social contexts of the participants, such as age, power or social status and social distance.

Abstract

Abstract: This present study explores the female and male EFL learners’ process types in their narrative text to connect the linguistics and gender. According to Bank (2007, 3-4) school help to shape the sex-role socialization theorists: that is, the theory which focuses on how people learn the role of male and female in the society.  Thus, this study is intended to: 1) find out the differences between both female and male in term of process types in narrative text, 2) find out the relation between gender of writers and the choice of process types in writing narrative text. This study shows that female EFL learner uses eleven process types; material (37%), attributive intensive (22,6%), mental affection (7,5%), behavioral (7,5%), identifying intensive (6,1%), mental perceptive (5,4%), verbal (4,8%), attributive possessive (4,1%), mental cognition (2,7%), causative (1,3%), and existential process (0,7%).  In contrast, the male respondent tends to use and produce only nine kinds of process types in his narrative text.  Those process types are the material (47%), Verbal (13,3%), behavioral (12,2%), attributive intensive (8,1%), identifying intensive (5,8%), mental cognition (4,6%),  mental perceptive (4%), attributive possessive (3,4%), mental affection processes (1,1%). Key words: process types, gender,Male EFL learner, Female EFL learner

Abstract

YouTube is not only a platform for entertaining the viewers. Nowadays, language learners can use videos on YouTube as a tool to learn many things dealing with language. One of the benefits of watching YouTube videos is that learners can comprehend pragmatic equivalence. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the English dialogue among the speakers in the YouTube video entitled The Team Meeting and its Indonesian subtitle to reveal the pragmatic equivalence. The analyzed pragmatic element is conversational implicatures. Additionally, the translation strategies used in Indonesian subtitles are also analyzed. To do this, the qualitative methodology, particularly textual analysis is used. With textual analysis, some steps in analyzing the data are needed. First, the English dialogue among the speakers and its Indonesian subtitle are transcribed. Second, translation strategies and pragmatic equivalence are analyzed. Lastly, the data are presented in form of paragraphs. The results show that the translation strategies can assist the English dialogue and its Indonesian subtitle to reach pragmatic equivalence. Borrowing words from English in Indonesian and the same basic structures between both languages generally contribute to this equivalence.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is thought to have changed the way people communicate in society. It has ushered in a new way of living that is fully conducted online. It urges this study to concentrate on examining online communications, particularly men's and women's online casual conversations. The qualitative approach was employed to accomplish this. Three basic processes were carried out in greater depth. The first step was to tape the dialogue, which was transcribed using the theory of Eggins & Slade (1997). To strengthen the data, an unstructured interview was conducted (Mackey & Gass, 2005). Finally, to expose the phenomenon of overlap, the data were evaluated using theories proposed by numerous experts, such as Schegloff (2000), Cogo & Dewey (2012), Yule (1996), and many more. The results were afterward developed into rich verbal descriptions. Analysis shows that men's and women's online casual conversations have different patterns of overlap. This can happen because of the influence of what they have received throughout their lives about how to be a man and a woman. The gender values they get from their environment greatly affect how they communicate and interact with others.

Abstract

This study aims to explore cohesion and coherence in an explanation text written by an EFL learner. To do this, the cohesive devices of the explanation text are analyzed. Also, the text is analyzed using the Thematic progressions theory to find out the logical relationship of the sentences and whether or not the text can meet the readers’ expectations. There are several steps to analyze both elements. The first is broking up the paragraphs of the text into sentences. The second is using Thematic progressions to analyze the text. Finally, the writer analyzed the cohesive devices which function to connect sentences. All those data later are elaborated in paragraphs as descriptive-qualitative research design is employed in this study. The results shows that, in term of cohesive devices, the writer uses direct repetition, partial repetition, and same lexical set to build lexical cohesion. It is also found that the writer uses reference, substitution, and ellipsis to build grammatical cohesion. However, the writer seems to have insufficient knowledge to use the cohesive devises correctly. Additionally, the analysis of Thematic progressions shows that some sentences in the text have no logical relationship. Lastly, this study finds that the writer also seem to have insufficient knowledge of schematic structures of the explanation text. Keywords: Exposition text; Cohesive Devices; Thematic Progression

Abstract

This paper is designed to assist EFL teachers. It attempts to give insight and share ideas on how four methods of teaching can be implemented in EFL learners’ classrooms, particularly in teaching writing. Audio-lingual, grammar translation, communicative language teaching, and a genre-based approach are among the methods used. Through this study, the teachers can hopefully use the combination of those methods to assist the students in learning writing skills. Audio-Lingual opens the class through drilling activities that are followed by the grammar translation activities. Afterwards, the class continued with the Communicative Language Teaching and the students were eventually assigned to produce a text in the final stage using the Genre Based Approach. To make it clearer, this paper also provides the steps for implementing the combination of the four methods. So, the EFL teachers are able to gain more explicit input.Keywords: audio-lingual, grammar translation, communicative language teaching, and genre based approach

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the ambiguity in five EFL learners’ narrative texts. This study reveals that the narrative texts contain lexical and syntactic ambiguities. Lexical ambiguity can happen because of polysemy and homonymy. In terms of syntactic ambiguity, ambiguous languages occur in the surface and deep structure of the sentences for various reasons, such as coordinator, gerund, and adjectives followed by an infinitive. Luckily, the lexical and syntactic ambiguities do not give the readers much trouble comprehending the texts if the context is clear. The context, particularly the preceding and following sentences, helps the readers understand the text. Sentences with ambiguous words or ambiguous structures can be clearly delivered as long as the writers are able to provide a clear context. Additionally, the writers in this present study tend to intentionally use ambiguous words in their sentences in order to use the words metaphorically and to tell the story in a more artistic way since the purpose of the narrative text is to entertain the readers.
