English Department, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang. Advisors: (1) Maria Hidayati, S.S., M.Pd. (2) Prof. Dr. Yazid Basthomi, M.A.Keywords: assertive speech acts, gender, YouTubers, vlogsEveryone carries different information with a different style of speaking every day. Searle (1969) stated that daily information are commonly uttered with four types of assertive speech acts: informing, swearing, predicting, and reminding. Furthermore, it is undeniable that the information must be spoken differently by men and women. Lakoff (1973) claimed that women tend to say something with more specific words such as in naming color, get used to using hedges to make a statement less firm, oftentimes use tag questions; super polite forms; and empty adjectives. This research is conducted in order to find out whether or not Lakoff’s theory is still relevant to the factual condition in this era.This study used descriptive qualitative design. 3 males and 3 females YouTubers with specific qualification were chosen as the research subjects. Their particular vlogs were analyzed by using InqScribe for the purpose of getting the full transcription of their utterances. Moreover, the utterances with assertive speech acts were categorized based on the features of women’s language proposed by Lakoff (1973).The findings show the most frequently used assertive speech acts are in the form of informing and the least frequent use is swearing. There is no significant difference in terms of number among swearing, reminding, and predicting; however, a glaring dissimilarity comes from the frequency of informing between male and female YouTubers. The frequency of male YouTubers in delivering information is almost twice higher than the number of female YouTubers in giving information. In addition, the result of this study is not quite relevant to Lakoff’s theory which ubiquitously firm believe gender is the one and only logical way to differentiate women and men from their social space. In fact, there is no significant difference between male and female’s way of speaking on a daily basis. Similarities are more discovered than differences between them. Both male and female use specific vocabulary, tag question, hedge, empty adjectives, super polite forms, intensifiers, and unfinished statements.For this reason, the readers are expected to not being judgmental of the way girls and boys should talk because of time changes, so do people communication. Furthermore, the researcher hopes that this research can be used as a reference for those are struggling and working on the area of speech acts or gender and language

Translanguaging: Teachers' Perception and Practice toward A Better Language Education
No full textABSTRACTIn language education, linguistic diversities inside one classroom are opportunities followed with a threat. Teachers often face problems that their students cannot perform well because of the language gap between them—that is which language should or should not be used in the classroom. Translanguaging, therefore, seeks to provide opportunities and acts as a bridge for them to fully and freely use their potential on using language without being suppressed by the boundaries set by particular language setting (Otheguy et al., 2015) such as Indonesian, English, Javanese, etc. However, the origin of where translanguaging is usually applied is far cry different from Indonesian context. On this notion that the researcher decided to investigate translanguaging as a new term in Indonesian language education, particularly from the teachers’ perspective (their perception and practice). This study used descriptive qualitative design with grounded theory overtone. Through interview and observation that the data collection was conducted. The subjects were 3 English teachers in SMP Lab UM. For the findings, all the subjects pointed out a fundamental part which plays a big role in their way of teaching, including their language use, is that they are adjusting themselves with their students’ capabilities in the hope that they can maintain their students’ interest in learning English bit by bit without giving them any unnecessary pressure that can end up in failure.

HUBUNGAN ANTARA EFIKASI DIRI DALAM MEMBACA DAN STRATEGI METAKOGNISI
No full textThis study aimed to confirm whether or not there was a correlation between reading self-efficacy and reading metacognitive strategies. This study adapted self-efficacy scale from Li and Wang (2010), and the metacognitive strategies scale from Mokhtari, Dimitov, and Reichard (2013). The result of this study showed that English Department of Universitas Negeri Malang had high reading self-efficacy level and use reading metacognitive strategies frequently. Even so, both variables did not correlate to each other. The students with high self-efficacy do not necessarily have high reading metacognitive strategies, and vice versa. The level of students’ reading metacognitive strategies is not a predictor of students’ level of reading self-efficacy, neither can reading self-efficacy predict the level of students’ reading metacognitive strategies.RINGKSAN Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi ada atau tidaknya korelasi antara efikasi diri dan strategi metakognisi dalam membaca teks bahasa Inggris. Penelitian ini mengadaptasi kuesioner efikasi diri oleh Li dan Wang (2010), dan kuesioner strategi metakognisi oleh Mokhtari, Dimitov, dan Reichard (2013). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa jurusan Sastra Inggris di Universitan Negeri Malang memiliki tingkat efikasi diri yang tinggi, dan sering menggunakan strategi metakognisi dalam membaca teks bahasa Inggris. Namun, mahasiswa dengan tingkat efikasi diri belum tentu sering menggunakan strategi metakognitif dalam membaca. Tingkat efikasi diri tidak dapat memprediksi seberapa sering mahasiswa menggunakan strategi metakognisi, dan sebaliknya, frekuensi mahasiswa menggunakan strategi metakognisi dalam membaca teks bahasa Inggris tidak menentukan seberapa tinggi tingkat efikasi dirinya

No full textKey Words: Code-Switching, code-mixing, chatting room, WhatsApp, Male, Female.WhatsApp is one of the social media which is categorized as CMC (Computer Mediated Communication) and the users are categorized as bilingual, by which code-switching and code-mixing may occur as the CMC language. This study aims at analyzing the code-switching and code-mixing by Indonesian male and female users getting engaged in verbal communication Indonesian and occasionally using English. This study is to find out the difference codes uses among male and female in WhatsApp as a written text, as CMC (Computer Mediated Communication) type.The data of this study were taken from male and female chat threads, around 20 to 25 years old. The male and female users are chosen randomly. Since the required data have to be natural, the topic of the chat is not determined. Either to educational background, was not required in this research due to the aim of this research is to see how the gender and language, male and female language, the English language used in their CMC, and the classification of it as code-mixing and code-switching. The data were analyzed on the code-switching and code-mixing classification. The code-switch classifications are based on the types, such as intra-sentential switches, inter-sentential switches, establishing continuity switches, and emblematic switching by using a table. Furthermore, the code-mixing classifications are based on the types, such as insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization.As for the findings, female participants do code-switching more often than male participants. As an illustration, male participants code-switch 29 times, while female participants code-switch 61 times. Moreover, females also have a high number in using code-mixing in delivering their messages. Both male and female Indonesian participants use more insertion rather than alternation or congruent lexicalization. In fact, the number of insertion occurrences is significantly higher than the two other types, 64% among male users and 68% among female users. In the discussion section, this analyzing demonstrated that female participants have a strong tendency to using code-switching than male participants. Furthermore, female participants also have a high number of using code-mixing in delivering their messages than male participants. This study has revealed that gender differences in code-switching and code-mixing concerning the set of language background.In short, the code-switching and code-mixing are used to make the message simpler and understandable, for instance stating some word in English rather than Bahasa Indonesia. Moreover, they are also used to make the sentence more hype, understandable and enjoyable to by the reader. Code-switch might happen for reminding of a statement, making the conversation run a line, and creating a new sense. On the contrary, code-mixing is used when English terms are more readily comprehensible than Indonesian terms are
The Production of Word-Initial VOT of English by Trilingual Speakers and Its Probable Contributing Factors
No full textKeyword: voice onset time, English stop consonants, trilingual speakers.VOT, known as Voice Onset Time, refers to the time needed from the release of a plosive to the onset of voicing, and it has been recognised as a great way to investigate stop consonants. Knowing the fact that many non-natives find it hard to produce this type of consonant and the fact that there have been only a few studies which have attempted to do this kind of investigation in non-natives whose mother language’s family is quite far from English, this study aims to find out the way Javanese Indonesians produce English stops as well as the probable factors related to their sound production.The descriptive qualitative research design was applied for this study. The subjects were eight first-year ELL students of UniversitasNegeri Malang. To gather the data, they were asked to read a list of words in English, Indonesian and Javanese; read an English passage, and; have an interview to strengthen the findings of the probable contributing factors of their sound production. The instruments needed to analyse the data were zoom H2N, Audacity, and Praat. They were used to record the utterances, edit the audio, and measure the VOT respectively. The findings reveal that only one-fourth of the participants (25%) could produce a more native-like VOT than others and they created a new-merged category of English VOT. Most of them produced voiceless stops without a strong force of air and voiced ones with a little breathy voice. The findings also show that (1) the higher their English proficiency is, especially their speaking skill, the more precise their VOT production is, (2) their mother tongues indeed play a huge role in their production of English stop consonants, (3) there are slight differences of VOT values in three different settings (isolated words, careful speech, and spontaneous speech), (4) males have the tendency to produce less precise English VOT due to psychological and physiological reasons.It can finally be concluded that there are several factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic, as to why there is a new-merged category when it comes to producing English VOT. It is suggested teachers and lecturers of English improve the learning materials and methodologies to help students understand and acquire it better. Furthermore, it is also suggested future researchers who are interested in conducting a study related to English VOT produced by Javanese Indonesians gather more data and reach broader subjects
INDIRECTNESS ACROSS CULTURES: A COMPARISON BETWEENENGLISH AND INDONESIAN UTTERANCES IN ASKING FOR INFORMATION
No full textSUMMARYFikriyah, Aini Zakiyatul. 2019. Indirectness across Cultures: A Comparison between English and Indonesian Utterances in Asking for Information. Thesis, Department of English. Faculty of Letters. Universitas Negeri Malang. Advisors: (I) Prof. A. Effendi Kadarisman, Ph.D., (II) Aulia Apriana, S.S, M.Pd. Keywords: Indirectness, Ini Talk Show, The Late Late Show. Language is used as a communication tool for daily life. By means of language, people can convey messages and their intentions directly or indirectly. When people speak indirectly, people mean what they say but also mean something else, this is what we call indirectness in speech acts. This study intends to find out the ways of asking for information, which is one of the speech act principles employed by speakers, especially hosts and guests in both talk shows. There are two research questions: (1) What motives of the indirect questions posed to the guests in the talk shows? And (2) What meanings of different indirect questions asked by the hosts in the talk shows? This study uses a descriptive-qualitative design. From Ini Talk Show, and The Late Late Show, the data were derived through transcription of selected utterances containing indirectness between the hosts and the guests. All the duration of the videos is around five to twenty minutes, which were uploaded on a different date. From the results of this study, the researcher finds out that the Indonesian talk show often uses indirectness for humor. It is to create a jocular atmosphere of humor so that it gives a funny effect on the minds of the audience. Whereas, the English talk show mostly uses indirectness for politeness. It means that politeness is very significant to maintain a relationship with others and also consider other people's feeling. The different intended meanings of indirect utterances found in Ini Talk Show and The Late Late Show show up in different gestures and expressions. The researcher suggests the next researchers analyze indirectness based on gender by using other theories. So, there will be a new case of indirectness in the pragmatic field
