Abstract

Practicing conversations or dialogues in various context or situation is as the essential aspect for students because it smoothen their skill in communication and their English mastery. Whenever people use language to interact, one of the things people are do- ing with it is establishing a relationship between them; between the speaker speaking now and the person who will probably speak next. It means, strategies in communicating put an important role to reach the goal of the interaction or the communication.This study is to identify the communication strategies of In- donesian university students, especially students of the English De- partment Education Faculty of Muria Kudus University and native speaker used in communication in natural conversation and to find out the possible factors cause the choice of  the strategies in the conversation. The method applied in this study is descriptive qualitative. The subjects of this study are fourth semester students of English De- partment of Muria Kudus University and one native speaker. The data were obtained by inviting and asking the students and the na- tive speaker to have a conversation for around one hour. Then, the conversation was recorded by using camera. The recorded data were transferred into the printed one as a script. The data analysis was conducted in several ways, among other transcribing the recorded data, identifying each utterance and displaying the result in the table, classifying the utterances based on the type of strategies, and inter- preting the communication or the conversation.The results showed that there were 306 turns in the conver- sation between the students and the native speaker. The types of strategies used in the conversations were Circumlocution (C) for 38.98 % (23), followed by Language Switch (LS) for 15.3 % (9) and Topic Avoidance (TA) for 14.6 % (8), Literal Translation (LT) for 6.8 % (4), Mime (M) for 8.5 % (5), Word Coinage (WC) and Mes- sage Abandonment (MA) for 6.8 % (4), Appeal for Assistance (AA) for 5.6 % (3), and Approximation (A) for 3.39 % (2). The last find- ing showed that there were two main factors that cause the choice of the strategies in the conversations. They were proficiency of the speaker and features of the communicative situation. In the use of communication strategies, both students of Eng- lish Department Muria Kudus University and the native speaker try to have a relative balance of power relation without the domination of one person to others. Some factors which cause the use of the strategies are lack of meaning, social use aspect, speech, voice, and fluency. To improve students’ strategies in communication, they should practice their English more, so their speaking and their strategies will be improved. Besides, lecturers also should apply the contextual teaching in which the environment and culture are inserted into the topic.

Abstract

This study is aimed at applying the adaptive Pecha Kucha technique to find out its effectiveness on students’ explaining skill, one of the skills that should be mastered among ELT Department students. This study uses a Quasi-experimental with Randomized Control Group Pretest-Posttest. The two groups (experimental and control group) selected will be ob- served in which the experimental group is going to be taught how to use adaptive Pecha Kucha, while the control group will be asked to explore the traditional model of PPT presentation. The data are gained through ob- servation, questionnaire, and comprehension test. The results show that the adaptive Pecha Kucha technique can develop students’ explaining skill, performance and comprehension. With a good preparation and clear per- formance rule, the technique shows to be more effective than the com- mon Power Point presentation. The data analysis of students comprehen- sion shows that the t-statistics was 6.44, while the value of t-table with the significance level of 5% and the Df (Degree of Freedom) 18 was 1. 734. It could be said that the t-statistics is higher than t-table. It also proved that the hypothesis which say there is significant different of exploring adaptive Pecha Kucha technique than students’ Power Point presentation is accepted. It showed that adaptive Pecha Kucha is really effective to do the presentation. Though, the students need more time and preparation, this technique is badly employed due to its effectiveness and to support the pre-service teachers’ development.

It also can be concluded that most students of intermediate level made Grammatical Error in Omission and Misinformation of their paragraph writing as  Dulaay at.all (1982) said that Omission of to be is common error made by students. Even tough those sentences appear without to be, article or preposition and still have meaning, student must use the Grammar correctly or accurately in writing. Most students made grammatical error in using modal, for example of error in misinformatiom “We  can learning all about English, after modal must be followed by main verb. It mostly happened on students’ writing. The most common types of  errors made  b y  students  are misinformation with  the  number  of  errors  is  15  or  43% and o m i s s i o n  with the number of error is 11 or 31%. The type of errors with the lowest frequency is misordering errors (9%). They consist of misordering of noun phrase and misordering of adverb. These errors seem to be caused by interlingual and intralingual interference.
