Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic brought all activities remotely, especially in education. All institutions tried to provide an E-Learning platform to facilitate the teaching-learning process for delivering the material, teaching process and conducting an assessment. All were changing, focusing on the assessment process; not all institutions could provide online proctoring technology, which opened cheating among students. This study was conducted using a structural literature review to find the dependent and independent variables in designing a questionnaire. The data was taken by typing keyword academic dishonesty in google scholar during January – March 2021 and took three journals at random to identify the theory of motivation and honesty among students in cheating. The instrument was evaluated by quantitative research to assess the validity and reliability coefficient value. This study provided us with the fact that collaboration, lack of mutual trust and policy, as part of academic dishonesty types, were the main factors challenging the students to act dishonesty in doing online tests. The instrument tested was also valid with all points are on the range of 0.6-0.8, and for the reliability, showed the best result on point 0.94. The validity and reliability measurement shows that the instrument is acceptable for measuring the students’ motivation in doing academic dishonesty and can be conducted for a larger population with more varied backgrounds and levels.

Abstract

The research addresses how Sundanese terms of address are translated into English. It discusses specifically the translation techniques practiced by the translator which affect the quality of the translation. The data are taken from Sundanese short stories and their translation in English. The theories exercised to find out the applied techniques are based on Molina and Albir (2002). The translation quality is examined using translation quality assessment of Nababan et al (2012). The analyses are carried out using Santosa’s methods (2017), a modification of Spreadly’s, following the analysis steps of domain, taxonomy, componential and culture findings. The results show that there are five translation techniques practiced by the translator, namely established equivalent, pure borrowings, deletion, variation, and implicit. The translation quality appears to gain 2.7. This score means that the translation is quite good. While the translation accuracy takes the highest score of 2.9, followed by acceptability 2.8, and readability having 2.5.

Abstract

Writing is one of the skills that English learners must master. However, in Indonesia where English is taught as a Foreign language (EFL), it has become the most challenging skill to learn. One of the factors is the difference in the usage of subject and verb in the sentence. This paper aims to see the impact of Google Classroom usage on the learning process of writing simple sentences, specifically the accuracy of writing the Subject Verb (S-V) agreement and students’ perception of using this online tool in writing activities. A mixed-method approach is used in this study where one group pretest-posttest of writing accuracy is done for 77 Electrical Engineering students, Jakarta State Polytechnic. For qualitative data analysis, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) are conducted. The result shows an increase in the accuracy of students’ writing accuracy specifically on the writing of  S-V agreement. Furthermore, students believe that Google Classroom in the writing class is beneficial due to lesson hand-outs distribution and assignment submission efficiency.

Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the English phonological process of characters’ pronunciation while pronouncing the English words in the Black Panther movie. The characters of this movie used the dialect of isiXhosa which is spoken widely in Southern Africa when speaking English. The characters developed the English or they signed phonological disorder. This study was researched qualitatively by using Lass’ theory of phonological process. This study is concerned with assimilation, dissimilation, deletion, and insertion. The result of this study identified that regressive assimilation, progressive assimilation, reciprocal assimilation, aphaeresis, syncopation, apocopation, prothesis, and epenthesis existed. Paragoge and dissimilation were not developed. Aphaeresis showed the highest number of occurrences. Mostly the phonemes arose in /h/ /ɾ/ /j/ /k/ /d/ /t/ /n/, /ð/, /θ/, and /æ/, /ɜ:/, /ə/. /ɾ/ was produced with quick and strong vibration in a syllable, and it was solely deleted in the coda of a syllable, /h/ was deleted by other consonant, the mutual consonants /t/ and /j/ created /ʧ/ and /d/ and /j/ created /dʒ/, /ð/ and /θ/ converted to /d/ and /t/, and schwa converted to /ʌ/. Aphaeresis deletion constructed English contraction. Some phonological process phenomena did not corroborate the Lass’ theory. The phonological process occurred in non-native English speakers due to the influence of L1 pronunciation on L2 pronunciation.

This study analyzed the category shift on the translation of nominal suffixes in English and their equivalents in Indonesian. The data are taken from the novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and the Indonesian version translated by Annisa Cinantya Putri. This study used a qualitative method while the category shift was analyzed using Hatim & Munday framework. The result of the research shows that there are three kinds of shift that occurred: Class-shift (the changes of word classes), Structure-shift (the initial headword in English becomes the final in Indonesian), and Unit-shift (the changes of rank). The English nominal suffixes that are found in the novel can be equivalent to Indonesian affixes (suffix, prefix, confix, affix) combination reduplication, word, and phrase.

Abstract

The findings of several references reveal that most unemployed social science graduates have poor communication skills and collaborative skills. A revolutionary and visionary learning process is needed to improve the ability of graduates through vocational education that emphasizes practice rather than theory. A constructive learning environment with the application of cooperative learning strategies provides an active learning experience for students and simultaneously studies subjects. The group investigation-based learning structure is accompanied by the support of a learning management system (LMS) which aims to increase the effectiveness of learning and improve communication and collaborative skills. The implementation of online learning is improved by referring to the principles of e-learning. Learning management system interactive tools and other applications are provided for the needs of students in learning activities. This article also discusses the online learning syntax that supports the process of interaction and communication in the implementation of cooperative learning.
