No full textABSTRAK Al Ilmi, Kurnia. 2017. The Portrait of Masculinity in Video Game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Skripsi, Jurusan Sastra Inggris, Fakultas Sastra, Universitas Negeri Malang. Pembimbing I: Drs. Kukuh Prayitno Subagyo, M.A. Pembimbing II: Inayatul Fariha, S.S, M.A. Kata Kunci: Hegemonic Masculinity, Film Studies, Modern Warfare 3 Video game menyumbangkan banyak gagasan tentang pria dan maskulinitas. Sebagai media modern yang populer, video game berpotensi untuk sangat mempengaruhi pemain. Terutama, mereka membawa pesan tentang identitas gender dan dapat mengirimkannya ke konsumen media. Dengan segala kelebihan dan kekurangan, video game merupakan agen sosialisasi potensial untuk menjadi maskulinitas hegemoni. Masyarakat mengharapkan pria memiliki standar yang sama, mengakibatkan peran gender dan stereotip pada pria dan maskulinitas mereka. Umumnya, karakter laki-laki secara alami digambarkan sebagai individu aktif dan sering digambarkan sebagai pemimpin atau pahlawan. Untuk membuatnya nyata, karakter pria dijelaskan secara rinci tentang penampilan fisik, interaksi emosional dan sosialnya. Penelitian ini mencoba menganalisis aspek maskulinitas hegemoni yang digambarkan dalam video game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3". Dengan kata lain, penelitian itu sendiri akan mempertanyakan aspek kepahlawanan, maskulinitas, kepemimpinan, kekerasan, dan kejahatan yang dilakukan oleh para pemain dan bagaimana mereka menyampaikan aspek-aspek itu dalam video game. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertama, ada modus manajemen maskulin yang ditandai oleh kualitas seperti daya saing, otoritas hierarki, kontrol yang tinggi terhadap pemimpin, dan pemecahan masalah tanpa emosi dan analitik. Kedua, militer memiliki pengaruh besar dalam membentuk konsep maskulinitas. Ketiga, menjadi pahlawan dikaitkan dengan maskulinitas karena membutuhkan tindakan, agresivitas, risiko, dan kematian. Jadi, tubuh pria dipandang lebih cocok melakukan aksi heroik. Sebagai kesimpulan, video game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" memiliki hubungan yang kuat dengan aspek maskulinitas dan kekerasan namun tidak berarti bahwa kekerasan menjadi bukti utama bahwa seorang pria maskulin. Maskulinitas itu sendiri tidak pernah memaksa manusia untuk menjadi makhluk yang buruk, sebaliknya penyederhanaan harapan masyarakat dan praktiknya yang melebih-lebihkan adalah yang menyebabkan semua keributan bahwa pria identik dengan kekerasan. Meski menjadi kasar bukanlah cara terbaik bagi pria untuk menunjukkan maskulinitasnya dan dalam beberapa kasus hal itu dihindari. Kehidupan individu yang berbeda dalam lingkungan yang berbeda. Itulah sebabnya cara pria menunjukkan maskulinitas bervariasi

The Determination of The Main Character in Charles Perrault’s Donkey-skin Based on Structural Analysis
No full textABSTRAK Herlina, Nanda . 2018. The Determination of The Main Character in Charles Perrault’s Donkey-skin Based on Structural Analysis. Thesis, Department of English, Faculty of Letters, State University of Malang. Advisor: Keywords: Dongeng, Donkey-skin, Propp, Greimas, strukturalisme Para pembaca cerita dongeng mungkin telah sadar bahwa tiap dongeng baik dalam negeri atapun luar negeri baik disadari atau tidak, dapat dipastikan memiliki kemiripan unsur cerita, seperti keberadaan sebuah kerajaan, para bangsawan, makhluk dan benda/senjata ajaib. Tak dapat dipungkiri bahwa struktur ceritanya juga memiliki kemiripan. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penulis fokus pada penjabaran struktur cerita dari Donkey-skin agar fungsi di dalamnya dapat terlihat. Melalui penganalisaan yang telah dilakukan, penulis juga mendapati bahwa teori Propp dan Greimas dapat digunakan oleh murid literatur yang tertarik pada studi tentang dongeng, terutama strukturalisme. Agar analisis data dapat dilengkapi dengan baik, penulis harus melakukan beberapa langkah terlebih dahulu. Pertama, penulis membaca Donkey-skin karya Perrault secara menyeluruh agar paham akan jalan cerita dan fungsi dongeng tersebut. Setelah itu, langkah selanjutnya adalah menganalisa dongeng dengan menambahkan pendekatan strukturalisme menggunakan metode kualitatif-deskriptif. Berdasarkan metode tersebut, studi ini dapat dijabarkan menjadi beberapa aspek: (1) Sebagian besar fungsi morfologi dan aktan dari Donkey-skin mengarah pada sang Putri. Kehadiran fungsi dan aktan karakter milik karakter lain seperti Raja dan Pangeran ditujukan agar ceritanya dapat mencapai akhir. (2) Model fungsional menunjukkan bahwa Donkey-skin memiliki alur cerita yang ‘lengkap’ berkat tindakan dari sang Putri. (3) Jalan ceritanya rusak jika karakter sang Putri sebagai karakter utama diganti oleh karakter lain atau keputusan sang Putri untuk tidak menikahi Raja berubah. Contohnya, jika Putri setuju untuk menikahi ayahnya, ceritanya akan berhenti karena ‘melarikan diri’ sebagai salah satu tindakan yang penting untuk perkembangan cerita tidak akan terjadi. Sebagai tambahan, jika karakter Putri tidak ada sejak awal cerita, maka cerita dongengnya tidak akan berkembang karena dia berperan sebagai’ inti’ dari cerita tersebut. Kesimpulannya, menganalisa Donkey-skin dengan menggunakan pendekatan strukturalisme tidak hanya menunjukkan susunan inti dongeng tersebut, tapi juga dapat membantu penulis untuk menentukan peran tertentu dari para karakter berdasarkan kegiatan mereka dan peristiwa yang terjadi dalam dongeng. Dengan kata lain, menentukan karakter utama tidak sekedar karena karakter yang bersangkutan selalu disebutkan di sepanjang cerita atau menjadi judul cerita
Syntactic Errors Found in Hotel Brochures in Bali
No full textABSTRAK Firdausi, Nora. 2018. Syntactic Errors Found in Hotel Brochures in Bali. Sarjana’s Thesis, Department of English, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang. Advisors: (1) Dr. Johannes A.Prayogo, M.Pd, M.Ed., (2) Maria Hidayati, S.S., M.Pd. Keywords: Syntactic Error, First Language Syntax is one of language components which deals with structure. In English, there are many kinds of rules which are definitely different from Indonesian and it causes Indonesian societies often make errors in constructing English sentences. Therefore, the researcher observed and analyzed types of syntactic errors in hotel brochures which were obtained from Bali. In this research, the researcher used mixed method which combined qualitative and quantitative approach. The errors in the brochures were classified into some categories, such as noun phrase error, dependent clause, subject-verb agreement error, and so forth. After the errors were collected, the researcher gave some corrections and looked for types of errors which often appeared. The researcher also analyzed relevant factors which probably triggered the syntactic errors. The result of this research showed that there were various syntactic errors in terms of phrase, clause, and sentence. Firstly, the total of phrase structure errors which consisted of noun, adjective, and verb phrase errors was 33. Noun phrase errors included a lack of article and inappropriateness between head and modifier. Secondly, there were 10 errors for clause structure which encompassed adjectival adverbial errors and dependent clause. Thirdly, there were 56 errors in sentence structure which were related to agreement, parallelism, possessive construction, repetition, preposition, word order, and passive voice. Types of errors which often occurred in the brochures were noun phrase, agreement, and parallelism. The researcher compared English and Indonesian syntax which was assumed that some hotel brochures writing style were influenced by Indonesian structure. Besides, some assistant managers of hotels said that the brochures were made by their staff and certain association named corporate. There were some staffs from school of tourism and English department. The conclusion of this research is that the syntactic errors in hotel brochures which were gotten from Bali were caused by the influence of the first language, particularly Indonesian and the lack of English grammatical understanding. It happened due to the fact that Indonesian structure does not consider time reference in formulating phrase, clause, and sentence. It made some writers of the brochures often forget types of verb for different occasions. Although some of them have English background knowledge, they presumably still need more training on English syntax proficiency

TEACHER TALK IN AN ENGLISH FOR YOUNG LEARNER CLASS
No full textSummary Teaching English to young learners, specifically elementary school students in EFL setting is challenging. English teachers encounter problems due to the government’s regulation, unsupportive learning environment, and young learners’ characteristics. This study states that teacher talk is one of the suitable methods to solve those problems. This study displays the categories and functions of teacher talk, as well as discusses supporting aspects that underlie the use of teacher talk categories and functions in the observed EYL class. This study is a qualitative-descriptive study which describes the use of teacher talk in a 3rd grade class of Gracia Primary School Malang, a local elementary school which adopted an international curriculum. The data was collected in May-June 2018. The data was taken from transcriptions of four-meeting observation recording during the natural teaching processes. Data analysis was carried out using a framework of teacher talk categories namely Foreign Language Interaction model (FLINT) suggested in Brown (2001:170) to identify the types and functions. The finding shows that five out of eleven categories appeared highest in frequency, indicating its prominence towards the learning process. They are giving information (27.52%), giving direction (17.63%), asking questions (13.10%), repeating students’ responses (12.85%), and showing praises (9.98%) which are the common types of TT which contribute positively in the class. The discussion scopes the highest and the lowest categories based on the amount in the classroom. This study inferred that teacher talk categories work out within proper use and amount. There are two suggestions drawn from the research findings. First, this study suggests English teachers of elementary schools should be aware when uttering positive teacher talk regarding the use of language, amount, and situations in the classroom. Next, future researchers who are interested in this topic might want to investigate the correlations of teacher talk functions and the implications on young learners to make it in-depth.
Hedging in Thesis' Abstract of Indonesian and American Academia
No full textABSTRAK Munir, Misbakhul. 2018. A Contrastive Analysis: Hedging in Thesis Abstract on Linguistics across Indonesian and English Native Writers. Thesis.Department of English, Faculty of Letters, UniversitasNegeri Malang. Advisors: (1) Prof.BambangYudiCahyono, Ph.D, (2) Maria Hidayati, S.S, M.Pd. Keywords: hedging, academic discourse, corpus study Hedging is a rhetorical strategy to soften or weaken an argument in academic writing which shows how skillful a writer is. Thesis’ abstract serves a pivotal part of the thesis to raise the readers’ interest to keep on digesting the article that should be packed as concise as possible yet containing dense information. Therefore, this study aims to contrasts the use of hedging in thesis abstracts on Linguistics written by Native English (NE) and Non-Native English (NNE) writers. This study used mixed method of both qualitative and quantitative method to gain the insight of the pattern as well as to achieve a thorough and deep comprehension of the data. I collected 30 abstracts covering the years of 2016-2017written bythe NE and NNE writers. The NNE abstracts contain 10,524 words while the NE abstracts consist of 7,538 words. The data were then analyzed using Antconc 3.5.0 based on hedging classification by Brooke (2016) and taxonomies by Martin-martin (2008). Hyland’s (1996) classificationwas utilized to trace the function of hedging devices employed in the abstracts. The result shows that the NE writers employ a higher hedging words frequency by 28.89 occurrences per 2000 words whereas the NNE has a slight fewer frequency (26.5 per 2000 words). Based on the findings of the study, the hedging devices employed by the NNE writersare very limited in variation. On the other hand, the NE writers demonstrate the hedges in the abstracts in morevariousways than the NNE writers. The difference of the writers’ competence shapes the quality of the writing and without doubt, allow the NE writers who are categorized as an expert to English—while the NNE writers are considered as novice—topresent sophisticated hedges in their writing. I expect that this research would be an implicit guidance for the NNE writers in writing research abstract to meet the prerequisite discourse of the academic community. Finally, it is suggested the future research cope the area of spoken discourse and cross-examine the writer’s motivation of using the hedges to the existing taxonomy

Therefore, psychoanalysis theory for this research can be used to observe the unusual signs or behaviors of Kyle which might change their personality.The result of this research supported Freud’s theory on personality factor that it’s influenced by surrounding. In this case it becomes the personality change into negative behavior. ABSTRAKHutapea, Ribka Renalita Theodora. 2017. The Impact of War on the Main Character Represented in American Sniper the Movie. Skripsi, Jurusan Sastra Inggris, Fakultas Sastra, Universitas Negeri Malang. Pembimbing: (I) Inayatul Fariha, M.A., (II) Dr. Emalia Iragiliati, M.Pd. Kata Kunci: psikoanalisis, American Sniper, ketidaksadaran, Sigmund Freud, kepribadian. Psikoanalisis merupakan salah satu ilmu sastra yang mempelajari tentang perilaku psikologis manusia, tidak terkecuali para prajurit perang. Ilmu ini dapat digunakan untuk meneliti perilaku prajurit semasa dan sesudah perang, misalnya dalam menanggapi setiap konflik yang terjadi di medan perang, bagaimana pola piker setiap individu ketika diperhadapkan pada pilihan yang sulit, hingga efek dari setiap keputusan-keputusan yang pada akhirnya juga akan mempengaruhi cara berpikir dan bertingkah laku dari setiap individu, seperti yang ditunjukkan dalam film American Sniper. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1) menjelaskan dengan rinci mengenai kejadian-kejadian dalam perang yang menimpa Kyle; (2) memperlihatkan tanda-tanda/perilaku-perilaku yang tidak biasa dari individu yang bersangkutan; dan (3) menunjukkan perubahan signifikan dari individu yang bersangkutan. Penelitian ini menggunakan studi kasus deskriptif untuk menjawab masalah penelitian di atas. Dua sumber data digunakan dalam penelitian ini, yaitu naskah film American Sniper yang ditulis oleh Jason Hall dan film American Sniper yang disutradarai oleh Clint Eastwood. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui analisis dokumen yang dalam hal ini adalah naskah film, serta observasi terhadap film tersebut.Hasil analisa memperlihatkan (1)setiap kejadian dalam medan pertempuran, baik itu pembunuhan yang dilakukan oleh pihak sendiri atau pihak lawan, sangat mempengaruhi perilaku psikologis dari Kyle, (2) tanda-tanda/perilaku-perilaku yang tidak biasa merupakan hasil penolakkan Kyle terhadap kenyataan yang terjadi sesudah perang berakhir, (3) penolakkan yang dilakukan menghasilkan perubahan kepribadian pada Kyle. Dengan demikian, ilmu psikoanalisis dalam penelitian ini dapat digunakan untuk membantu peneliti menganalisa perilaku-perilaku yang tidak biasa pada Kyle yang akhirnya membawa perubahan signifikan dalam kepribadian mereka. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini didukung melalui teori dari Sigmund Freud mengenai kepribadian yang dipengaruhi oleh lingkungan sekitar. Dalam hal ini kepribadian berubah dalam bentuk sikap/tingkah laku yang negatif
