This study used qualitative approach in describing the results of the analysisof transposition translation procedure implemented. In gathering data, the writerused two steps, they are watching and transcription. In analyzing data, the writerused several steps, they are identifying, classifying, reducing, and reporting. Afteranalyzing the data, the results of this research were presented by using thequalitative-descriptive method. There are 108 out of 1551 parts of subtitlesimplemented four types of transposition translation procedure. The results of theanalysis are described as follows: transposition translation procedure involvingliterary translation is 63.9%, transposition translation procedure involving change ofwords’ position 27.7%, transposition translation procedure involving change of wordclass 4.6%, and transposition translation procedure involving adjustment andreplacement of words 4.6%. It can be seen that the most frequently implementedprocedure is transposition translation procedure involving literary translation. Thetranslator implemented all types of transposition translation procedure in order toproduce a good translation which high in naturalness and equivalency of meaningbetween SL and TL.

This paper is written based on the error analysis on perception or production inpronouncing English sounds which have different distributions by the students ofSMP N 2 Demak in Academic Year of 2015/2016. The study was aimed to describeand to explain the most common problems faced by the students in learning Englishfinal voiced stops [b, d, g]. This study is using qualitative approach. The populationof the study was the eight grader students of SMP N 2 Demak. The total numbers ofthe population used in this research are 310. Random sampling technique was usedto get the sample. The data of this study was obtained from listening and speakingtests. The result of those tests were used as the source of data collection. Then, theresult was interpreted by using Tinambunan‟s criterion grading. In perception test,the error proportion of the 30 students was 6,07% while in the production test, theerror proportion was 28,2% out of 30 students. Based on the results, it is concludedthat the students were considered exellent in perceiving but fair in pronouncing finalvoiced stops [b, d, g].

This study investigates the types of modulation which were used on the translationprocess of National Geographic Magazine of June 2014 both on USA andIndonesian issue. The purposes of this study areto describe the use of modulation intranslating “National Geographic” from English to Indonesian and to describe themaintenance of the source target meaning in the target text. The qualitativeapproach was used to describe the quantitative data which was got from theanalysis. The data of this study was collected using reading and inventorying stagesand analyzed using comparing, identifying, and evaluating process. The collecteddata then was analyzed to investigate the modulation‟s impact on messagemaintenance. Based on those analyses, substitution has the highest rank ofmodulation type used on the magazine‟s articles (37.8% of total 111 data) followedby reversal (34.2%), deviation (14.4%), specification (8.1%), and generalization(5.4%) sequentially. This result is linear to the maintenance of message rating whichwas taken from five English Department lecturer raters. It shows that the highestnumber of score 3 (well delivered) percentage ratio is obtained by specification(75.5%) followed by reversal (72.6%), deviation (72.5%), substitution (71.2%) andgeneralization (60%). From the result above it can be seen that the more frequentoccurrence does not always mean to be so effective compared to the less frequentone. The highest percentage of successful maintenance was obtained byspecification, which is on 4th rank on the frequency of occurrence table. The mostfrequent type of modulation, substitution, only settles on 4th rank on the table ofscore 3. On the other hand, the most distorted type of modulation is gotten byreversal with 9.5% on score 1, while the least distorted one is gotten bygeneralization.

Cohesion is the first criterion of textuality which is very important because it is thelinks that hold text together and give it meaning. This study aims to identify whetherthe speeches produced by English major sophomores are cohesive or not and todescribe the kinds of cohesive devices found in the speeches. The object of this studyis the speeches produced by the third semester students of English Department,which then were transcribed into written. The data collected were analyzed based ondiscourse analysis using cohesive devices based on Halliday and Hasan‟s theory(1976). The findings show that there are 1040 ties found in the ten speeches whichreveals that the five types of cohesive devices occur in the speeches although thedistribution of each type is significantly different. Based on the findings, it can beconcluded that the ten speeches are cohesively produced. In addition, all of fivetypes and sub-types of cohesion are found in the monologues except verbal ellipsis.

Paraphrasing activity allows the students to interpret what they have understoodfrom the text in reading activity. This study investigates the correlation of thestudents’ reading comprehension and their paraphrasing ability in narrative text.There are two hypotheses in this research; null hypothesis (Ho) and the alternativehypothesis (Ha). The null hypothesis says “There is no correlation between students’reading comprehension and their paraphrasing ability in narrative text”. Then, Hasays “There is a correlation between students’ reading comprehension and theirparaphrasing ability in narrative text”.The population of this study is the eleventh graders of SMAN 1 Ambarawa in theacademic year of 2016/2017. The students of XI MIPA 5 are taken as the samples.The design of this study is explanatory research design. The data are gained byadministering two kinds of tests; reading comprehension and paraphrasing tests.Those tests are administered twice by using two different texts. There are three mainprocesses in applying this method in the study; the use of the scatterplot, Pearsonproduct moment coefficient, and correlation coefficient interpretation. Scatterplotsdisplays that there is a positive linear relationship. Then, the data are calculated byusing the Pearson product moment to know the degree of relationship among thevariables. The results of the computation of correlation coefficient applied to thesample are 0.67 and 0.84. The consultation to the critical value of the r ProductMoment with 95% confidence level and the number of the subjects 32 is 0.349. Itmeans that the results obtained from the computation are higher than its criticalvalue. Next, the results of the computation of correlation coefficient are consulted tothe criteria of correlation coefficient interpretation. The interpretations of therelationship are substantial and high to very high. It can be concluded that there is asignificant positive relationship between students’ reading comprehension ability innarrative text (X) and their paraphrasing ability in narrative text (Y) on the eleventhgraders of SMA Negeri 1 Ambarawa in the academic year of 2016/2017.

The result of the study indicated that the group taught by LRDand graphic organizer combination technique has better score in the test than thegroup taught by conventional method. In the pretest, the mean score of the controlgroup was 56.65 and the experimental group was 58.11. The mean of posttest ofexperimental group (82.05) was higher than control groups (70.11). Then, the t-testshowed that the tvalue (5.756) was higher than ttable (1.998). It can be concludedthat the working hypothesis is accepted. It means that there is a significant differenceof effectiveness and reading comprehension achievement in reading descriptive textof students who are taught by LRD and graphic organizer combination techniqueand those who are not taught by using that technique.
