Abstract

Language is an essential mean of communication in teaching and learning activities. Specifically, in the English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) that employs English as the main instructional language for teaching and learning activities. Considering that English was not students’ first language, some lecturers employed code switching to help third-semester students in learning English. With regard to this phenomenon, this study addressed two research questions. First, what the types of code switching ELESP lecturers employ in their instructional languages are and second, what the reasons for ELESP lecturers to employ code switching in their instructional languages are. This study belonged to a basic interpretative study. It employed interview guidelines to understand the experiences of the lecturers who employed code switching. The results of this study showed that the lecturers employed both situational and metaphorical code switching. In addition, the writer found that the participants of the study code-switched for the reasons which can be classified into topic, addressee, emphasis, persuasion, solidarity, affection, nature of the subject and strategy. The results of the study also revealed that the use of code switching in lecturers’ instructional languages was mainly for the students’ understanding. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2016.190105

The data used in this research were collected from 166 pages of The Great Debaters movie transcription.

The research results showed that the characters in The Great Debaters movie applied the types of politeness strategies, namely off-record, baldon-record, positive politeness, and negative politeness. Moreover, the characters also revealed the factors affecting the characters’ politeness in speaking, namely language style, register and domain, and slang and solidarity. However, the characters did not show language and gender factor in their conversation since they were mostly engaged in the same topic, namely a debate competition. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2016.190103

Abstract

Program Pengalaman Lapangan (PPL) or School-based Practicum is one of the compulsory courses that must be taken by all English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) Sanata Dharma University students. PPL requires the students, who are called practice teachers, to do teachers’ job at school. As English practice teachers, there is a possibility that they might face a lot of problems related to the condition and situation in the school, either from the students’ side, teachers’ side, or other factors. This research focuses on junior high school students’ problems of speaking and the possible solutions to the problems based on the ELESP students’ experiences as English practice teachers. From the findings, it is expected that future practice teachers and English teachers can anticipate similar problems and apply the possible solutions when they work at schools. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2016.190102

Abstract

Conversation is a social interaction among societies. In this case, gender differences in daily communication lead to men’s and women’s different point of views in performing styles of the conversations. Misunderstanding is likely to occur in crosssex conversations when the idea or thought are understood differently by men and women. This study was intended to analyze the use of conversational styles by men and women and also investigate the misunderstanding phenomena that happened in cross-sex conversations. The researcher identified that the conversational styles used by Alex as a male character in the cross-sex conversations were qualifiers, controlling the topics, verbal fillers, intensifiers, swear words, compound requests, tag questions, questions, interruptions, overlapping, and talk domination. Meanwhile, Gigi, as a female character used qualifiers, controlling the topics, verbal fillers, intensifiers, swear words, tag questions, questions, interruptions, overlapping, talk domination, and silence. In answering the second question, the researcher discovered factors that affected the misunderstanding in the cross-sex conversations between Alex and Gigi were involvement versus independence and message versus metamessage. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2016.190101

Abstract

Speaking skill is a skill that is judged first than other skills by someone in many languages. This perspective is the underlying reason why ELESP students are demanded to have good speaking ability. Having a good speaking ability will also give them many other benefits. Based on the researcher’s personal experiences as the first semester student and experiences of doing micro teaching in Speaking I class, it was found that some ELESP students’ speaking ability was not good enough. This study aims to find out the language learning strategies ELESP students applied to improve their speaking ability and the use of those strategies in relation to the students’ self-efficacy by distributing questionnaire and conducting interview. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2016.190106
