Abstract

The paper aims at discussing the kinds of fossilized errors of morphosyntax which occur in students’ oral communication and to find out the most possible factors causing those errors. There were 10 English graduate students who held thesis seminar as the subject of the study. The data were collected from the students’ utterances during their thesis seminar presentation which were recorded and transcribed then analyzed based on the indicators predetermined. To see the truthfulness of the data, the interview was done, especially to see the factors causing fossilized errors. The results show that 8 out of 10 subjects committed fossilized error and the frequent fossilized errors were manifested in using number marking (taking singular for plural marking) in noun/noun phrase category and substitution of the simple present for the simple past tense, the use of voice, agreement and nominalization. These fossilized errors were due to the Indonesian language interference, pedagogic intervention, and lack of opportunity to use English. Based on the result, it is recommended that the lecturers pay serious attention to the language usage in preparing effective writing instructional design. Key words: Error analysis, fossilized error, morphosyntax, interference, speaking.

Abstract

The purpose of learning English for Senior High School students is to make students able to use spoken and written language in interpersonal, transactional, functional and essay text. This target quite difficult to be reached since the time allocation for learning English is only 2 hours (90 minutes) a week. To give chance for students who are interested in learning English, the school provide an English club, namely the English community. This club is a kind of extracurricular activity. The meeting which was held every week after the school hours initially attended by many students. However, the number of students decreased week by week. After interviewing them, it was found some reasons that make them lazy to attend the meeting. They were tiredness, having other kinds of extracurricular activity, and boring activities. They need something to challenge them to speak with people from other countries. To overcome this problem, the teacher used Cheria Video Conference. Cheria is the acronym of Chatting through Social Media and Video Conference. Cheria is done as the replacement of the meeting. Since the students are close with social media, so the teacher used social media  Line and Whatsapp to discuss the topic for incoming Videoconference. Through Generation Global, students could share ideas with other students from other countries about many topics such as community, faith, charity, celebration, and many others. Moreover, this activity also could make them practice their English and well as building their characters such as nationalism, religious, collaboration, integrity, and independent.  Key words: Cheria, Video Conference, characters

Abstract

Using a right strategy for our class is an important thing. Eventhough there are so many strategies that we can use in our class, still we have to think the best and suitable one for the class. We need to consider about the learning materials, students’ learning behaviours, classroom or school condition, students’ ability and others, so that the students can learn maximally.SMAN 14 Padang has nine classes for grade ten. They are five classes for science program and 4 classes for social classes. Each class has heterogent students’ learning behaviour, but most of them are kinesthetic learners with low to middle English ability. Since most of them are kinesthetic learners, it is important to choose a strategy which can accomodate the majority learners’ type but do not left the others. One of the strategy is “Running Discussion” strategy. In fact, this strategy is a modified strategy from “Running Dictation” strategy. It is modified to make it suitable for the students condition.The result shows that all of the classes from five classes for science programme and 4 classes for social classes programme were enjoy and happy during the class.Keywords: English learning, heterogent learners’ type, Kinestetics learners, Running discussion
