Abstract

Abstract. This qualitative descriptive study aims to describe student errors in German writing and to propose solutions. The data was collected from the essays of 28 German students from the 2018 class. The results of data analysis showed that student errors in German writing varied, including 1) grammatical/structural errors in German sentences, 2) errors in conjugating German verbs that do not match the subject, 3) errors in word choices, 4) errors in prepositions, and 5) errors in the arrangement of words if there are conjunctions in the sentence. Meanwhile, the suggested solutions to these problems include the use of clustering or associograms while teaching and the development of practice materials for German writing.Keywords: Errors in Writing, German, Solution

Abstract

Abstract. Korean passive sentences are considered difficult to understand by Indonesians. Due to Indonesian language interference, ungrammatical Korean sentences are often produced by Indonesian. This study is aimed at analyzing the factors causing incongruity between Indonesian and Korean passive sentences. This research  is descriptive qualitative  study and the data are Indonesian simple passive sentences and equivalent forms in Korean. Both languages were analyzed using the theory of voice, passive prototype, and language typology by applying the contrastive and comparative methods. The finding results indicate that the causal factors can be traced back to differences Indonesian and Korean passive voice systems generated by the attributes both languages maintain, covering argument marking system, construction controller, subject selection criteria, agency coding, how the event is described, and sensitivity to animacy. Indonesian, which marks its core argument using word order, is a subject prominent language that prioritizes the argument’s syntactic function. The sentence constructions are controlled by the argument’s syntactic functions coded in the verb. Meanwhile, Korean, which indicates all arguments with case markers, is a topic and subject prominent language that emphasizes the argument’s inherent attribute. Korean sentence constructions are controlled by the argument’s inherent attributes, namely ANIMACY and CONTROL. Consequently, Indonesian passive sentences that do not align with Korean principles of Animacy Hierarchy and Control Degree are incongruent when translated into Korean passive sentences.  The results of this study infer that the passive voice issue is not limited to the morpho-syntactic, but involves various levels of language and views of the world. Keywords:   Indonesian and Korean  passive sentences, voice modulation, language typology, Animacy, Degree of Control

Abstract

Abstract. Classroom oral presentation is one of the techniques that has been used in any language classroom to provide an opportunity for language practice. This research investigates EFL students' challenges in classroom oral presentation and their strategies to face the challenges. The presentations covered group and individual presentations. Using a qualitative research approach and a descriptive design, authors collected data through in-dept interviews. Participants were four students of the English department of one private university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, who had multiple experiences performing oral presentations in the classrooms that they had been attending for at least three years. The study found nervousness, group dynamics, audience, missing points, challenging content, language boundaries, and high self-expectation as the challenges the participants faced in classroom oral presentations. In addition, the study also discovered that strategies used to overcome the challenges were self-assurance, better preparation, peer discussions, directed eye contact, direct communication, backups, self-isolation, and presentation aids use. The implication is that in EFL classroom contexts, all factors surrounding the students might play a part in the way students view their experience and their success in an oral presentations. It also implied that eventually, students will have the ability to utilize the resources around them to solve their issues in an oral presentation. This gives an insight to how teachers can provide the environment that enables students to independently solve their problems. Keywords: Classroom Oral Presentation, Challenges, Strategies To Face The Challenges, CBI, CLT

Abstract

Abstract. Motivation and attitudes are important factors in learning English effectively. The purpose of this study is to investigate the motivations and attitudes of Indonesian mechanical engineering students regarding English learning. This is a qualitative research method which used an online platform questionnaire survey to collect data. Participants in this study included 25 mechanical engineering students from Balikpapan University in Indonesia. The data was analyzed by categorizing quantitative data derived from questionnaires based on frequency of distribution. The findings revealed that Indonesian mechanical students in engineering were enthusiastic about learning English and had a positive attitude toward it. Furthermore, the results show that the participants placed a greater emphasis on instrumental motivation for learning English. It is indicated that they would like to participate in training sessions to increase their ability to match instrumental motivation. This study's findings confirmed that attitude and motivation were important factors in learning English. As a result, teachers and lecturers must work hard to increase motivation and positive feelings toward English language learning. This study may assist teachers in improving their classroom preparation by gaining a better grasp of their students' attitudes and simplifying learning activities for them. Furthermore, the findings of this study may help authorities and policymakers understand the importance of students' attitudes in developing ESP education policies, creating curriculum, and developing materials for ESP students.Keywords: Motivation, Attitudes, Mechanical Engineering Students, Learning English, ESP

Abstract

Abstract. The aim of this study is to compare the grammatical functions contained in Yun Dong Ju's poem entitled 길 (Gil/The Road) in the book Puisi untuk Rakyat Indonesia (Poetry for Indonesian People) translated by Chung Young Rim. The data were analyzed based on the syntactic structure in the source language, which is Korean, and its translation into the target language, which is Indonesian, to implement the study of syntactic theory and its application in the field of comparative literary translation. The method of this research was descriptive contrastive qualitative. Meanwhile, the data collection techniques were observing and taking notes. First of all, the researchers explained the grammatical functions contained in the poem both in Korean and Indonesian, and then compared the syntactic function data. The results of the study on Yun Dong Ju’s poem entitled (Gil/ The Road) that focused on the comparison between the grammatical functions in the source language and those in the target language showed that there are 4 times occurrence of the addition of subjects and 1 time occurrence of the addition of adjunct in the target language; 5 changes in grammatical functions, 4 deletions of grammatical functions in the target language, and 2 diction differences in grammatical functions. Furthermore, there are 2 data that show no changes in in its grammatical functions. The changes in the syntactic structure found in Yun Dong Ju’s poem entitled길 (Gil/The Road) occurred to avoid ambiguity in conveying meaning since in Indonesian, clear subjects and adjuncts are needed. Therefore, the translation system tends to be broader than the source language.Keywords:  Syntax, Grammatical Functions, Poem, Korean, Indonesian

Abstract

Abstract. Learners’ perception plays an important role in evaluating the teaching and learning process and has an impact to the teacher’s performance during the teaching and learning process. Applying descriptive qualitative method with case study design, this study highlighted the learners’ perceptions and their preference of oral corrective feedback utilized by the teachers during the teaching and learning process. By using purposive sampling, this research involved one teacher and two learners as research participants at an English course called Amsterdam Institute located in Makassar. The data, collected through semi-structured interview and observation, resulted that the learners found themselves facilitated in responding the teacher’s utterances since the teacher’s oral corrective feedback were helpful to lead the learners’ accuracy or just to help them acknowledge their errors in terms of grammar, lexis, the use of L1, and particularly in phonology (pronunciation). Furthermore, inconsistencies between the students’ preference and the teacher’s feedback use in terms of the time to provide oral corrective feedback are identified.  Students preferred being given time to work out their error, while teacher mostly gave feedback directly. Thus, it can be concluded that giving more time for students to provide self-repair can be a way for students to make sense of error they committed. The results further highlight a significant impact for teachers’ beliefs on their corrective feedback practices, especially for those teaching using a tailor-made system. Finally, the implication of this study is discussed.Keywords: Learners’ Perceptions, Oral Corrective Feedbacks, One-To-One EFL Classroom.

Abstract

Abstract.  This study intends to examine the role of Arabic in comprehending Islamic law. This research was conducted to provide an overview of Arabic for observers of Islamic law, focusing on the elements of nahwu, shorof, balaghah, and mantiq. This is because the Quran and Hadith, the primary sources of Islamic law, are written in Arabic. This research was a literature study using the descriptive analysis method to examine the importance of mastering Arabic in the study of Islamic law. Sources of research data were obtained from various references that include books, journals, and other references related to the research theme. The result showed that Arabic is essential for comprehending the Al-Quran and Hadith as the primary sources of Islamic law. The Arabic language used by the Qur'an was much higher than the Arabic language that developed in the community. In Arab society during the Jahiliyah era, the Arabic language had reached its qimmah (glory) and was mature in terms of its grammar, vocabularies, uslub (language style), and balaghah. Al-Qur'an and hadith cannot be separated from Arabic, hence the accuracy with which both are read and comprehended will determine whether or not Islamic law is established.Keywords: Arabic, Al-Qur’an, Islamic Law, Spirit of Islam

Abstract

Abstract. Genre as a spectrum of textual manifestation signals its textual presence through linguistic devices. In the tourism text, the signal of its presence is marked by a transition from one movement or organizing activity to another. Translating genre is central to the work of translators. The fact is the translation process often does not take one line and translators often overlook the role of contextual specifications. This difficulty is also compounded by the fact that the readers’ understanding when reading the translation text often has difficulty in obtaining the meaning. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify and explain the translation of an Indonesian-English tourism text genre focusing on message segments to determine the moves and rhetorical functions of the discourse structure and how they may contribute to the readability of the text. The study was descriptive qualitative research. The data was extracted from a variety of documents related to Madura tourism. The data collection technique was document review and the data analysis was interactive model analysis. The results of the study showed that the message segments of the Indonesian-English tourism text translation were constructed with three moves (explanation, illustration, and argumentation) and three rhetorical functions (description, definition, and cause and effect). These moves and rhetorical functions in the translation of the Indonesian-English tourism text genre contributed to the results of the readability of the translated texts, i.e., they were fully comprehensible without unnecessary effort in the part of the readers. The findings suggest that genre analysis of the message segments of the tourism text translation can be a good alternative for communicating the intentions of the source texts.  Thus, this can be a good practice for translators to consider when translating texts and other related texts as well.Keywords: Genre, Message Segment, Translation, Tourism

Abstract

Abstract. The perspective formed by the mother tongue frequently influences the vocabulary used in speaking and writing while learning a new language. To make identifying and selecting the appropriate vocabulary according to the terminology commonly used by native speakers in the nursing field easier, Mandarin learners, notably those studying nursing, need vocabulary references that are organised systematically based on vocabulary domains. This study aims to serve as a resource for the processes in learning to increase overall proficiency in Mandarin for nursing. A Thesaurus of Modern Chinese (TMC) contains the lexical-semantic structure of Mandarin. Therefore, Chinese learners can learn the syntactic language that native Chinese speakers regularly use. This study examines the scope of vocabulary case studies in nursing from this thesaurus. The research strategy looks for relevant terminology in the nursing sector. This study also investigates the value of knowing Chinese to help nursing careers and the exposure to learning Mandarin in the nursing industry by related vocabulary. By selecting the nursing scope vocabulary from the thesaurus, This study can take more terms, particularly complex words, which are simple for native speakers but challenging for foreign learners.Keywords: A Thesaurus Of Modern Chinese; Mandarin Language Ability; Career Advancement; Nursing Expertise; Vocabulary

Abstract

Abstract. Written corrective feedback (WCF) is believed to be one of the essential factors in the improvement of students' academic writing in English as Foreign Language (EFL) context. WCF is crucial for EFL students as they may face both language barriers and problems related to academic requirements during the process of writing. Hence, EFL students tend to have more challenges than L1 students, especially in making pieces of academic writing. This current research aims to find out the criteria of effective WCF that help EFL students on their academic writing. This current research employed qualitative approach. The current research isa descriptive qualitative research design. It employed interview as a data collection method. Interview guidelines were used as the instrument of data collection. Participants of the study are four students in an English Education Department in a private university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The participants experienced the process of writing a research report as the fulfillment of getting an undergraduate degree. The research found that criteria of effective WCF i.e. WCF should be understandable, focused, and direct. These findings imply that teachers should consider how to give WCF to the students. The criteria of effective WCF found in the current study could be reference and guideline by the teacher about what kind of WCF that help students better in their academic writing. By considering the WCF they give, teachers could have better writing feedback to the students.Keywords: Feedback, Written Corrective Feedback, Academic Writing
