Abstract

Writing is considered as the most difficult skill for language learners to master. Language learners need to pay attention to higher level skills of planning, and organizing as well as lower level skills of spelling, punctuation, word choice, and so on. Within the rapid changes in technology, the use of ICT has largely influenced the way learners write. The well-known ICT such social networks also have been widely used by learners across the globe to shape their writing. This study examines the use of one of social networks which is specifically designed for educational purpose, Edmodo, to increase the first graders’ skill in composing recount text. The finding of the study showed significant differences between the result of pretest and posttest. The mean of post-test scores (80.5) is larger than the mean of pre-test scores (71.3). From statistical calculation, it was confirmed that the value of   (-3.538) is larger than   (-2.306). Also, the way to test whether the null hypothesis could be rejected was by comparing p-value with the standard level of significance, 0.05. The convention to reject the null hypothesis is that when the p-value of the obtained statistics is less than 0.05 (Balnaves & Calputi, 2001). The finding showed that p-value was less than 0.05 (0.006 < 0.05). Thus, there was enough evidence indicating that the null hypothesis could be rejected, and it could be concluded that using Edmodo was effective to increase students’ writing skill in recount text.

Abstract

There are communication almost fail because of misunderstanding of the reference. Thus, explaining reference for its importance in communication is needed. Reference means pointing that is as an act in which a speaker or writer uses linguistic forms to enable a listener or reader to identify something. Reference can be divided into two: exophora and endophora. Furthermore, there two kinds of exophora: homophora and deixis. Deixis is a form of referring that is tied to the speaker´s context. In addition, deixis concerns the way in which languages encode or grammaticalize features of the context of utterance or speech event, and this also concerns ways in which in the interpretation of utterances depends on the analysis of that context of utterance.

Abstract

Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is a program derived from CAL (Computer-Assisted Learning) which is implemented to language and the prime focus of CALL is on the usage of computers in language learning. Much of the research has been aimed at improving written communication skills and little has been done to address the issue of increasing oral proficiency. In second/foreign language classrooms, the CALL environment creates situations that stimulate interest, allows dialogue and communication, enhances creativity, fosters a sense of personal worth, facilitates collaboration among students working together, permits rich learning experiences for all students, and strengthens communication skills. By using CALL, many resources of material can be easily developed in teaching learning process.

Abstract

In communication, people cannot be separated from conversations where actually there is something to be implied on. The existence of implicature, however, is hardly needed as a tool to bond the interlocuters. Implicature is divided into two, i.e. conventional implicature and conversational implicature. To understand the implicature, the instruments such as speech events, reference, cultural background and daily experience are used.

Abstract

To English learners, writing has been considered the most difficult skill for some reasons such as the grammar, the vocabulary, and the background knowledge. To help them develop their writing skill, it is recommended to employ the peer feedback in the teaching learning process at the writing class. Providing feedback in the process of writing tend to have beneficial help for the students to improve the quality of their work, especially in writing an essay. This expectation is generally agreed since students often face difficulties in accomplishing their writing due to the complexity of the writing itself, the students’ factors and the teacher’s factors. From the writing aspect, mastering the language form such as grammar, diction, etc and the content of the essay seems to be common problems for many EFL students.
