Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the Fan-N-Pick technique significantly affected the students' vocabulary mastery both before and after it was used. A pre-test-post-test with a single group was the design used in this pre-experimental research. Class IV students from a state primary school in Plandaan, Jombang, served as population in this study. There were twenty total students, of which eighteen were the sample. Before beginning the two-meeting treatments utilizing the Fan-N-Pick technique, the experimental students were given a pre-test of twenty multiple-choice questions. The post-test was completed using the same question from the pre-test after the treatment finished. After compiling all vocabulary test results, SPSS was used to apply the descriptive statistics, normality test, and paired sample t-test. The t-test result showed that Sig. (2-tailed) value is 0,000, which is lower than the alpha value of 0.05. That result revealed that the students’ vocabulary mastery significantly increased before and after the Fan-N-Pick strategy application. Thus, the Fan-N-Pick strategy was effective for teaching vocabulary. Then, it is highly recommended for English teachers to teach vocabulary using the fan-the-pick strategy.

Abstract

This paper investigates how two near-synonymous emotion words (i.e., ANGRY and MAD) would differ in their grammatical (i.e., morphological) and semantic profiles based on data from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). Morphologically, we analyzed the distribution of verbal inflectional morphologies of these words overall and across different text types/genres in COCA. Semantically, we explored the preferred semantic category of the Experiencer and Stimulus collocates of ANGRY and MAD. In that way, we adopted both quantitative and qualitative methods. We showed that the base verbal form anger is very prominent across genres compared to the base form madden. Similarly, the -ed and third-person singular -s forms are more predominant for ANGER than for MADDEN. In contrast, the -ing form of maddening is far more common than angering. Semantically, angry predominantly collocates with Kinship-based Experiencer than mad. Both adjectives attract distinct types of Experiencer nouns from the social and political relation fields. In terms of the stimulus, mad attracts collocates from the semantic field of emotion and values more predominantly than angry. In sum, corpus analyses help reveal grammatical and semantic differences between near-synonyms such as ANGRY and MAD.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Duolingo application in improving vocabulary mastery of 10th grade students at SMKN 2 Palangka Raya in the academic year 2022/2023. The traditional teaching method at SMKN 2 Palangka Raya tends to be monotonous and less interactive, thus, less effective in improving students' vocabulary mastery. This study proposes the integration of the Duolingo application as a learning tool to provide a more interactive and engaging learning experience, as well as to enhance students' vocabulary mastery. A quasi-experimental design is used to compare two classes: X MLPB 2 (conventional method) and X AKL 2 (using Duolingo). Both classes consist of 20 students. Quantitative methods, including normality tests, ANOVA, and Post Hoc, are used for analysis. The results show that the use of Duolingo significantly improves students' vocabulary mastery. The average Post-Test scores increased from 51.857 to 80.714 for class AKL 2, and from 44.706 to 75.147 for class MPLB 2. The integration of technology such as Duolingo has proven to be effective in improving student learning outcomes. Recommendations from this study include increasing the use of technology in language learning curriculum to optimize learning outcomes.

Abstract

Senior high school involves students to deal with more complex language rules and expressing ideas in a more sophisticated way. Consequently, senior high school students are inevitably prone to errors in their English writing, particularly in the aspect of creating cohesive and coherent text. This study aims at identifying the types and causes of grammatical cohesive devices errors found in the narrative texts written by senior high school students.  This study was conducted using descriptive qualitative method. Documentation method utilized by a checklist instrument and note-taking technique were used to collect the data. The method for presenting the data analysis in this study was informal method. In analysing the data, this study employed the theory from Dulay, Burt, and Krashen (1982) to analyse the types of the grammatical cohesive errors and Richards theory (1973) to analyse the causes of the errors. The results show that all types of grammatical cohesive devices errors were found in the texts. The type of the error was dominated by the omission of reference. The interlingual factor caused the omission and misordering of references. The errors caused by intralingual factor including overgeneralization, incomplete application of rules, ignorance of rules restriction, and false concept hypothesized. These instances of errors disrupt the clarity of the text and the readers’ comprehension. Therefore, study's findings reveal that senior high school students face significant challenges in using grammatical cohesive devices effectively in their narrative writing.

Abstract

Pronunciation has been regarded as the most challenging aspect of language teaching and learning. EFL learners faced difficulties in perceiving, producing, and mastering the intricate sound patterns of a new language, which can lead to communication breakdowns and reduced intelligibility. The use of learners-made tutorial videos in teaching pronunciation might overcome some of these challenges. This research aimed to find out learners’ perception of the role of technology in teaching ending sounds –s/es pronunciation through learners' self-made tutorial video. The research used descriptive qualitative method. The sample was taken by purposive sampling technique. Ten learners from the first semester of 2023/2024 academic year from a private public college in Pekanbaru were taken as the sample. The instrument used to collect data was questionaire from google form. The data were analyzed by using three data analysis theories. After analyzing the data, it was found that technology helped learners to be more responsible in studying, gain more knowledge beyond what the lecturer taught in the class, learn independently, encourage them to exchange knowledge with their classmate, and improve their English skill through making self tutorial videos in pronouncing –s/-es ending sound. Thus, it can be concluded that learners had a positive perception on the role of technology in teaching pronunciation especially in pronouncing –s/-es ending sound. Regarding the positive perception on the role of technology in teaching ending sound –s/-es perception, it is suggested to lecturers as well as English teachers to optimize the role of technology in teaching not only ending sound –s/-es, but also other aspects of pronunciation.
