Abstract

Although English students (English-L2) are allowed to retain their local accent when speaking English, they may not be intelligible if they use inappropriate stress in communication. This research is intended to find out how English-L2 produce stress in English morphological derivation words. The respondents of this study are 10 students of English Department (PBIUPY) Who are native speakers of Indonesian. PRAAT software is applied to analyse the recordings, including measuring the pitch of each word, the highest pitch indicates the primary or strongest stress in each word. The instruments of this study are 5 morphological derivation words which have different level and variation of stress. The result illustrates that English-L2 produce inappropriate stress alternation in English morphological derivation words. Most English-L2 are not able to distinguish between strong and weak stressed syllables. It is proved by the pitch which they produce have a broadly simillar pattern. Keywords: stress, alternation, English-L2

Abstract

Making improvements of the speech feature is possible to do because pronunciation is teachable. Some experts in pronunciation teaching have suggested more comprehensive and contemporary teaching methods and techniques. In narrower context to English Study Program some seemingly cases are found in depicting the condition of how the last semester students who attend thesis seminar are tend to have difficulty in their Pronunciation. Many of them are still struggling in articulating the correct English pronunciation. The problematic speech features are targeted to the segmental part, such as the accuracy of vowel sounds production. For this particular research, the researchers want to investigate the similar problematic features of pronunciation of the second semester students of English Study Program of Universitas Brawijaya and later will try to implement some teaching pronunciation techniques to modify their pronunciation production. For this particular research employs a qualitative research design. The data were analysed into narrative description, interpretation and textual. The participants were asked to read aloud the given 14 minimal pair words list. The recorded data were saved as wave files (.wav) to analyze them by using PRAAT to visual display of the students’ First Formant (F1) and Second Formant (F2). Then, these visual displays were compared to those of native speakers in PRAAT window. The result of this research reveals that due to the lack of how to disambiguate the correct pronunciation of vowel sounds within the given words the participant tend to produce inaccurate pronunciation. Which are reflected by the result of the spectrum score range: F1 and F2. Some proposed techniques of teaching segmental were drilling, teaching minimal pairs, chanting with jazz chant and rhyming with tongue twisters, to modify learners segmental features. As the suggestion all targeted parties (students, Lectures and Authority) should be willing to do what are necessary to maintain the success of the teaching and learning pronunciation in Study program of English.

Abstract

This paper aims at exploring the use of closing utterances in conversation in one of Indonesian television program. The results show that there are three types of strategies implemented close conversation and all of it is the part of positive face-saving strategies. These three strategies are: positive comment, excuse (reason), and the imperative to end strategy (imperative to end the conversation). Positive comments applied if the speakers actually enjoy the conversation, but he or she had to end it for some reasons. Excuse strategy is used to close the conversation by providing an alternative motivation or alternative explanations for the hearer which potentially exposed to the threat of the face. Lastly, imperative to end the conversation strategy applied by the use of imperative words/sentences to close the conversation, but the speaker still trying to save his/her partner’s face. In general, the positive face-saving strategies used by speakers to close the conversation also consider the feelings of the hearer, giving positive comments or express a reason why a conversation should end.

Abstract

In language teaching learning, teaching takes place as the primary activity. However, information about people’s language ability can be acknowledged from a useful and necessary testing. This useful device is highly considered because having the knowledge of a language, which is one’s linguistic competence is different to using this knowledge in actual production, which is one’s linguistic performance. A test as a subset of assessment, in simple terms, is a method of measuring a person’s ability, knowledge, or performance in given domain (Brown, 2004:3). Component of keywords related to this definition can be seen as (1) method – a set of techniques, procedures, or items that requires performance of the test-taker, (2) measure – to measure general ability, (3) individual’s ability, competence and performance – to understand who the test-takers are and (4) domain – a sample that represents general competence.

Abstract

This library research aims to (1) identify effects of various colonialism on the change of morphological aspects of English Language and (2) explore the morphological change of verb and noun. Those two aims will give the readers a perspective of how language changes through the time. This is a library research which is conducted by collecting and processing data of various lexicons from a book entitled ‘A History of English Language’. The data processing is entirely based on some rules in a book entitled ‘Sejarah Bahasa Inggris’ written by Tarjana (1991). From the data processing, it is revealed that various colonizers ‘demand’ a language change, especially morphological aspect, in order a language understanding between colonizers and the colony will grow. Besides, morphological change will give us a clear description about natural characteristics that a language will always experience a change to accomodate the need of communicating effectively and efficiently.

Abstract

This research is aimed at finding and describing the intonation of English declarative sentence produced by English Department students of Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta. The intonation is analyzed based on contour approach through the movements of pitch. The researcher uses three students as his respondents. The data are analized through three steps, firstly, data are collected through listening and recording process, secondly, the recording data are converted to soundwave and pitch diagrams using PRAAT software, at this point, PRAAT text grid is applied to make the pitch diagrams easy to understand, and finally, the researcher draws conclusion according to the contour of pitch in the diagrams. The result of this research illustrates that the respondents tend to rise the pitch at end of English declarative sentence which correspondingly changes the mood of the sentence into an interrogrative sentence. English declarative sentences generally have falling intonation and native speakers of English do not rise the pitch at the end of declarative sentences. However, this research shows that students of English have inadequate knowledge about suprasegmental features in English particularly intonation.
