Abstract

Morphological awareness, as one of the mediators which gives impact, plays an important role in achieving successful reading comprehension. It is believed that morphological awareness contributes to enhance students' performances by analyzing the word structures. Students are required to improve their skills in manipulating and interpreting complex words presented in a text. This study then, investigates the students’ level of morphological awareness and its relationship with their reading comprehension. It was carried out with a group of 55 second-grade EFL students from one of Gresik's senior high schools in East Java. The data were collected through reading comprehension test and morphological awareness test. The results indicates that students’ level of morphological awareness are varied (5 students = Excellent, 21 students = Good, 18 students = Mediocre, 10 students = Poor, and 1 student = Very Poor). In addition, the results show students’ morphological awareness has no link with their reading comprehension (p-value= .357, > .05).

Abstract

This study looked into the use of Indoglish as a Sociolinguistic Phenomenon by English Department students of UMMY Solok. The indoglish utterances were collected using a descriptive qualitative approach in this study. The participants in this study were all English Department students in UMMY Solok's sociolinguistic class. The data for this study are snippets of speech gathered from the use of language in the sphere of daily education of students in the campus setting as a whole over the course of three months. Direct speech in everyday communication, which is supposed to contain the forms of 'Indoglish' is used to observe closely. Speech inducements are also used to collect data for this study. This method can be enhanced by recording directly or indirectly, publically or secretly. The interview will then proceed to describe the causes that led to the creation of Indoglish used by students. The study's findings suggest that 53 English words were recognized as Indoglish expressions from students' non-academic conversation. The data indicates that the likelihood of using Indoglish at the word level is higher than the likelihood of using phrases, clauses, or sentences. Meanwhile, the findings of the investigation revealed that this occurrence was caused by a number of variables. The majority of students utilize Indoglish in their conversations to build closeness, relaxed friendliness, and intimacy with their interlocutors, according to the findings. Second, the speaker is having trouble locating the correct term in Indonesia. Finally, this phenomena arose as a result of students' desire to improve their English language skills by employing Indoglish in regular discourse.

This qualitative study was conducted in a descriptive case study to investigate undergraduate students’ oral communication strategy in debate class. The participants of this study were the third semester of undergraduate students who join in a critical speaking class. There were 24 students. The observation was used to obtain the data. The data has been collected from this instrument was analyzed using the steps from Gay et al. (2006) with memoing, describing, and classifying. The result of the study revealed that the students used 11 of 12 types of oral communication strategies. The first is message abandonment with 12 utterances (4.5%). The second is topic avoidance with five utterances (1.81%). The third is circumlocution with one utterance (0.37%). The fourth is an approximation with six utterances (2.25%). The fifth is using all-purpose words with five utterances (1.81%). The sixth is word coinage with five utterances (1.81%). The seventh is using non-linguistic means with 12 utterances (4.5%). The eighth is foreignizing with two utterances (0.75%). The ninth is code-switching, with 27 utterances (10.2%). The tenth is the appeal for help with 35 utterances (13.2%), and the last is the use of fillers applied by students with 157 utterances (58.8%).

Abstract

The arrangement of words in a grammatically correct sentence can sometimes still lead to multiple interpretations. BBC News, in its Instagram posts, contains sentences that are structurally ambiguous. Therefore, this study aims to find out types of structural ambiguity on BBC News’ Instagram posts that are published from February 2021 until July 2022 and the interpretations arise from those ambiguities. This study uses qualitative method with document analysis technique. The analysis is done by some steps: investigating which word or phrase that makes the sentences become ambiguous, categorizing the ambiguities to their each types, finding out meanings that are produced by those ambiguities, parsing the sentences by using tree diagram, and interpreting the actual meaning of the news headlines or sentences by relating it to the context. The result shows that there are fifty posts from BBC News that contain sentences which are structurally ambiguous. Using theory of Hirst, those ambiguities are categorized as attachment and analytical ambiguity. The ambiguities are mostly caused by phrases that are unclear what their functions are in a sentence. From the result, it can be seen that structural ambiguity is a language phenomenon that is still widely found in our surrounding, not to mention the news headlines.

Abstract

The discouraging level of students’ literacy in Indonesia has encouraged teachers to look for alternatives in teaching, leading to the use of various teaching media to help increase students’ literacy. This study explores the use of novels, a genre of authentic text with interesting and inspirational contents, to help students understand pragmatics and thorough description of the turn-takings and their components in the novels. The method used is turn-taking analysis with two data taken, namely conversations for turn-taking features and narration by the author as turn constructional units. From the data collected, this research uses the conversation analysis method that was initiated by Sack, Schegolff, and Jefferson. The turn-taking feature found in this study is turn-taking in groups of students or when they listen to lectures from the teacher. The narrative section from the writer was used to show how the gaps, overlapping, intonation, or actions of the characters are. This part gave a big limitation to explore because it depends on what the writer wrote in narration. The genre of this novel also will influence what the researcher will find and English students will learn in pragmatics.
