Abstract

This final project is a quasi experimental research aiming at investigating any significant difference of students’ achievement in writing narrative texts which are taught by using authentic song lyrics and the one who are taught by using pictures with an assumption that these media can help them to interpret the content of the course. The subjects of the study were the eleventh graders of Semarang State Senior High School 2 in the academic year of 2013/2014. There were two groups which were given different treatments. The first group was the experimental group consisting of 34 students that was taught by using “authentic song lyrics” as media and the second group was the control group consisting of 34 students that was taught by using “pictures”. In conducting experimental research, there were two classes that were used, XI Natural Science Program 11 as the experimental group and XI Natural Science Program 9 as the control group. Both groups were given pre test, treatments, and post test. In analyzing the data, normality test, homogeneity test, and t-test were used. The results of the study showed that the “authentic song lyrics” media which was applied in creating narrative text gave contribution in helping them write narrative texts. The data proved that there was a significant difference between the experimental and the control group achievement. Based on the statistical analysis, it could be seen that the students’ post-test in the experimental group was higher than the control group. The mean of the experimental group improved than the control group. The t-value for two means of post-test was 3.333; meanwhile the critical value at α = 5% was 2.035. It proved that there is significant difference between the experimental group which was given “authentic song lyrics” media and the control group which was given “picture”. It can be concluded that the “authentic song lyrics” is more effective than “pictures” to help the students in writing narrative texts.

Abstract

English is not an easy subject to learn. The reason is the quality of human resources or the teacher is still low. They have to teach and deliver their knowledge to the students, but they cannot deliver it well if they do not master English. They also have to be creative. Teaching will be more attractive if the teacher can deliver the materials in fun ways. This final project mainly aims at determining the effectiveness of using a video with texts in teaching listening for the eighth grade of junior high school students. The subject of this study was the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Kejobong in the academic year of 2013/2014. The number of the subject was 60 students. The design of this study was experimental study. The data were gained by administering pre-test and post-test of listening test.  By using cluster random sampling, students of VIII E were taken as the samples of the experimental group and the samples of control group were the students of VIII G. In the pre-test, the mean score of the experimental group was 58.60, while the control group was 57.30. The result of post-test of the experimental group was 67.30 and the control one was 60.90. There was an improvement between the results of pre-test and post-test’s score. That meant that the medium was effective enough to be used in teaching listening of narrative. From the calculation of t-test, the result was 1.84 while the t-table with degree of freedom (df) 58, rounded up to 60 at 5% significance level was 1.67. Because the t-test was higher than the t-table (1.84>1.67), it can be concluded that using video with English texts was effective for teaching listening of narrative. An animation video can be made as a medium in teaching listening. The students will not get bored in the learning process because video is such an interesting medium which provides audio and visual that can grab the students’ interest. The teacher should consider animation videos in teaching listening because it is easy to understand the story by watching the animation videos which provides audio and visual.

Abstract

This study is a case study which investigates errors on the use of English articles. It is focused on the errors made by tenth grade students of SMA N 1 Binangun, Cilacap in their written descriptive texts. The total of 32 students of class X MIA 1 became the subjects of this study and they were asked to write descriptive texts. The object of this study was errors in using English articles which occurred in their texts. The data were analyzed based on Ellis’s Error Analysis Procedure and normalization formula by Pica. The result of this study from the highest to the lowest exposed errors are: indefinite a/an-for-zero errors (61.51%), zero-for-indefinite a/an errors (22.19%), definite the-for-indefinite a/an substitution error (5%), definite the-for-zero substitution error (4.65%), zero-for-definite the substitution error (4.41%), and indefinite a/an-for-definite the substitution error (2.23%). Based on the result gained from this study, the dominant error exposed by the students is grammatical error (indefinite a/an-for-zero). This condition shows that the students find difficulties to differentiate between countable and non-countable nouns. It is suggested that the teacher give more attention to this problem and start to improve his attitude in teaching grammar.

Abstract

This final project is about the implicatures found in the source novel entitled “Negeri Lima Menara” written by Ahmad Fuadi that are translated into English by Angie Kilbane entitled “The Land of Five Towers”. In understanding the novel, implicature seems harder to be understood since implicature means something beyond what is stated; it may emerge many interpretations. Besides, the implicatures in this novel actually contain the point or message of the novel. So, it is essentially needed for the readers to understand those implicatures for understanding the novel. The objectives of this project are to describe the maintenance of implicatures in the English translation of dialogues in the novel “The Land of Five Towers” and to explain the achievement of the equivalence in meaning. This project was designed as descriptive qualitative. It means that descriptive interpretation was used for examining the data on this research so that the conclusions were based on that interpretation. The object of this project is the utterances containing implicatures that were found in both the Indonesian text as the source text and English text as its translation. Documentation method was used to collect the data in this research. The data was in the form of printed text in the novel, both Indonesian and English versions. In analyzing the data, observation method was done in six steps; they were listing, identifying, classifying, tabulating, interpreting, and drawing conclusion. The findings of this project are from 780 utterances that are stated in these novels, 40 of them are found as utterances containing implicatures. Those utterances flout one of the maxims that Grice stated, whether it flouts maxim of quality, quantity, relevance, or manner. The percentages of them are as follows: there are 11 (27.5%) utterances flouting maxim of quality, 7 (17.5%) utterances flouting maxim of quantity. In addition, there are 6 (15%) utterances flouting maxim of relevance and 16 (40%) utterances flouting maxim of manner. Moreover, for keep maintaining the implicatures, they are mostly translated literally and the translator keeps using some cultural and religious terminologies for keep showing the cultural and religious situation in the translated novel. Furthermore, the meaning equivalence is mostly achieved since the original and the translated novels have the same meaning of the implicatures. By considering them, it can be concluded that the implicatures are mostly maintained when they are translated into English because the meanings and conditions of those implicatures can be similarly understood like what are stated in the ST.
