Using Word Wall to Increase the Students’ Vocabulary Mastery in The Context of Descriptive Text at Grade Eight of SMP Negeri 4 Malang
No full textABSTRAK According to Wallace (1988:112) vocabulary is the vital element of the language. If we have low vocabulary, we are not able to master 4 macro skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing). The students of VIII E of SMP Negeri 4 Malang had problems with vocabulary. They could not comprehend the descriptive text that was given by English teacher because they had low vocabulary. When the students found difficulties with new words, they depended on the teacher’s translation. In addition, English teacher used monotonous strategy in every meeting. Therefore, the researcher used word wall as a solution to improve students’ vocabulary mastery in the context of descriptive text because word wall has been proven that it can improve students’ vocabulary mastery. This study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) as the research design. English teacher took the role of an observer during teaching and learning process and gave inputs to lesson plans and vocabulary tests. The subjects of this study were VIII E class students of SMP Negeri 4 Malang. There were 34 students in the class who participated in this study. The study was conducted in the 5 meetings. The researcher conducted four instruments to collect data such as interview guide, observation checklist, vocabulary test, and questionnaire sheet. This study was conducted in one cycle because the researcher had seen that word wall had given satisfactory result on the improvement of the students’ vocabulary mastery in one cycle. The research findings showed that word wall had successfully improved the students’ vocabulary mastery in the context of descriptive text. Thirty out of 34 students or 88.2% passed the KKM (75) and higher and the students’ average score that was 65.9 increased to 80.9. The students also gave positive responses toward the use of word wall. Based on the students’ answer in the questionnaire, most of the students said that word wall was interesting, fun and helpful. In conclusion, the eight steps of the strategy that had been proven to be able to improve students’ vocabulary mastery and made them enjoy the learning process were (1) introducing and strengthening vocabulary, (2) explaining and giving practice to the students to analyze the characteristics of the descriptive text, (3) explaining about word wall, (4) asking the students to do two word wall activities namely; “Missing word” and “Drama”, (5) giving homework related to the word wall activity “Memory association”, (6) reviewing vocabulary, (7) explaining the part of speech and asking the students to do “Part of speech” word wall activity, and (8) asking the students to do two word wall activities namely, “Letter in my first name” and “Names for musical groups”

No full textABSTRACT Baskoro, Agung Bimo. 2017. Illocutionary Acts in Facebook Sale Group. Thesis Department of English, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang. Advisors: (1) Maria Hidayati, S.S., M.Pd. (2) Aulia Apriana, S.S. M.Pd. Keywords: illocutionary acts, online marketing, facebook sale group Studies on illocutionary acts have grown significantly in the past decades, but there is a small number of studies which study about implicitness or intended meaning in digital setting such as online marketing. It conveys the sellers’ intention and purpose to the customers. In this case, the message is about persuasive Facebook status by the community of Facebook sale group (FSG). The aim of this research is to identify types of illocutionary acts from salespeople’s post on FSG and how the customers perceive the information posted. To answer the research questions, a descriptive qualitative method is employed. The data related to the identification of illocutionary acts were obtained from the screenshots of 20 selected posts on the chosen FSG. Each of the screenshots was then analyzed by referring to five types of illocutionary acts theory proposed by Searle (1979); they are representatives/assertives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declarations. To answer the second research question dealing with the customers’response on the selected posts, a semi-strcutured interview was chosen to obtain the data. Five students of English Department were randomly selected to volunteer for the interview. The results of this study show that there were 70 propositions found in FSG posts. The most dominant type of illocutionary acts was representative acts with 43 propositions. The second type was commisive acts containing 11 propositions. Then, expressive acts were found in nine propositions. The fourth types was directive acts containing seven propositions. The last type was declaration with zero proposition. Most of the posts used representative acts more than the other type of illocutionary acts. It is because the purpose of posting something in FSG is to give brief information and description about the things they sell and to attract the customer to buy. In addition, most of the propositions found were in the form of informing. Moreover, related to the language used in the given posts, all participants view that it is easy to understand since the words and phrases used are familiar and supported by pictures. Furthermore, related to the trustworthiness of the information, all participants state that they might believe the information since it seems to be promising though confirmation is important to do when it comes to online shopping. Indeed, all selected posts have achieved the felicitous conditions necessary to create “happy post”, indicated by their success in following the conventional procedures aggreed in the FSG. To conclude, this research has revealed that illocutionary acts in the context of FSG are important for online salespeople to better advertise their business. The felicitous conditions in such a virtual setting cannot entirely be achieved by depending on the surface information in the post. The concept of “abuses”, for example, can only be found depending on how well the audience assess the trustworthiness of the advertisement. The next, future researchers are suggested to further investigate illocutionary acts in computer-mediated communications

No full textABSTRACT Widodo, Z.T. 2017. Developing Web-Based Game As a Supplementary Reading Material for the Tenth Graders. Sarjana’s Thesis, Department of English, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang. Advisors: (1) Dra. Sri Andreani, M.Ed., (2) Drs. Andi Muhtar, M.A. Keyword: web-based game, supplementary reading material As stated in the basic competence of 2013 curriculum,the tenth graders are to be able to comprehend descriptive texts. However, most of the students in Tunas Luhur Senior High School still found it difficult to comprehend descriptive texts. This is due to limitedclass time and attractive materials for reading. To address this issue, the researcher developed web-based game as supplementary reading material for tenth graders to enhance students’ reading comprehension. The design of this study is Research and Development and the model used was a simplified version of Borg and Gall’s (2003). There are seven stages in conducting this research: (1) need analysis, (2) product development, (3) expert validation, (4) revision I, (5) try-out (6) revision II, and (7) final product. The instruments used in this research are interview guide, questionnarie, validation checklists, try out checklist, and observation sheet. The product was validated by an expert in reading, an expert in ICT, and an English teacher concerning display, design, and content.The results of the validation required improvements in the background display, color and notification, font typing, instructions, music, and the certificate. The revised version of the product was, then, tried out the tenth graders of Tunas Luhur Senior High School. The results of the try out indicated that the average score for the layout and design is 3.5 from a total of 4 and the average score of the content is 3.9 from a total of 4. The average score for the product in general is 3.8, which means that the product is proper to be used. The final product of this study is a web-based game in the form of bootsrap application entitled Treasure Huntto be used outside class. The product is disseminatedto the students in the form of flash disc or CD. The product can be played offline in any computer with internet browser.The final product consists of a brief explanation of the product, five descriptive texts, five missions, and twenty five tasks. In conclusion, to be ready to use, a web-based game has to go through a long process of converting the written draft into the Bootstrap application.The Bootstrap application also has to undergo various revisions based on the results of validations and try out. This requires the help of professional in ICT. Considering that this product is proper for the tenth graders, it is suggested that it is further developed by the English teachers to provide more various texts with the help of professional in ICT, unless they can do it by themselves. The future researchers are suggested to conduct a similar studies to develop web-based materials for other types of texts for other levels of education
MISPRONUNCIATION BY STUDENTS OF MATTHAYOM SUKSA 5 ADDIRASAT AL ISLAMIAH SCHOOL, PATTANI, THAILAND
No full textABSTRACT Mukarromah, Rofiatul. 2016. Mispronunciation by Students of MatthayomSuksa 5 Addirasat Al Islamiah School, Pattani, Thailand.Sarjana’sThesis, English Language Teaching, Faculty of Letters, State University of Malang.Advisor (I) Dr. MirjamAnugerahwati, M.A. (II) Dr. UtariPrabaAstuti, M.A. Key Words: Pronuciation Errors, Thai English Learners Pronunciation is crucial in a spoken communication. While intelligible pronunciation could facilitate the message transmission, unintelligible pronunciation could bring into miscommunication. However, many studies reveal that EFL learners have some problems when it comes into intelligible pronunciation, including Thai EFL learners of Addirasat Al Islamiah School. This study is conducted to describe pronunciation errors made by Thai EFL learners of Addirasat Al Islamiah School. This study uses descriptive qualitative research design since it is aimed at describing the phenomenon in a natural way. The procedures are adapted from Johnson and Christensen (2012) covering: 1) determine research questions; 2) design the study; 3) collect the data; 4) analyze the data (comparative analysis); 5) generate findings; 6) validate findings; and 7) report. The data is collected through audio recording. Instruments used to collect the data are a short dialogue and audio recordings. Besides, the researcher is the key human instrument in this study. The result of the analysis shows that there are three kinds of pronunciation errors; error in consonants (62.8%), vowels (23.2%), and diphthongs (14%). Error in the consonants is the most frequent pronunciation error made by the students. Influence of the subjects’ first language, romanization of Thai language, little exposure to the target language, learners’ attitude of being less confident and teachers’ Thai style pronunciation are believed as the potential causes. The need for more in-depth research regarding students’ pronunciation problems could not be ignored. The further researchers are recommended to conduct research in this field by focusing on thorough analysis to find ways to help low proficiency students pronounce the English words intelligibly. In addition, special programs need to be introduced and implemented to help students improve their pronunciation

Sarjana’s Thesis, English Department, Faculty of Letters, State University of Malang. Advisors: (1) Dr. Sintha Tresnadewi, M.Pd, (2) Prof. Dr. H. Gunadi Harry Sulistyo, M.A. Keywords: Study Background, IPA, IPS, English Performance In spite of English as a subject is the same within two senior high school programs, IPA (natural science) and IPS (social science) according to both National Curriculum (formerly known as K-13) and the previous KTSP, English as a study program in higher education was categorized as a specific IPS program. This contradicts two things; what English was perceived in senior high school, as it was regarded as a general subject for both programs and also the teaching and learning situation in English Department itself which actually does not see where the students came from nor their backgroud was. This categorization of English in higher education made a subtle assumption that social science students were seen to be more devised to take English program than their counterpart. Furthermore, it could be safely assumed that this gives a supposition that students’ previous high school background could affect and made a difference to their English performance in college level.This study was conducted to know whether there was a relationship between student’s senior high school backgrounds with their performance as English Department students in college level. The backgrounds defined here were IPA (Natural science) and IPS (Social science). That is, it would see whether there is a significant difference in English score between the students from two parties. In addition, it also aimed to know the students’ perspective towards some issues regarding their English learning before and after they entered the college.This research used the causal comparative or ex-post facto design. Samples taken were 60 students from English Department of State University of Malang year 2012 until 2015. The data sources used were the Student’s Report Card or Kartu Hasil Studi (KHS) from their second semester. In addition, the researcher also used questionnaire to get the students’ perspective towards their experience in learning English and some issues based on it. The data was then analyzed using SPSS for Windows for its calculation.The findings show that there was no significant difference in English performance between those two backgrounds. In other words, the study background of students was not related to their performance in college. The same English exposure in students high school was believed to be one of its main factors in causing this indifference. Another potential reason was the implementation of Intensive Course (IC) and the skill courses itself in their college level which minimized, if not eliminated some issues regarding their previous high school backgrounds that could have affected their performance.The students also disagreed with the view that English Department is a specific social science program and opted to see it as a general program open for both backgrounds, in line with English as a subject in senior high school level.A suggestion proposed by the researcher regarding this research findings was the change of national college entrance examination in Indonesia which placed English Department in IPS category. Alternatively, it was also recommended to re-evaluate the strict dichotomy between IPA and IPS both in secondary and higher education. For future studies, the researcher suggests the future studies be conducted on similar issue, as there are relatively few studies regarding this particular topic in Indonesia.Virgiawan, Randy Levin. 2017.

No full textABSTRAK Maradilah, Yurista. 2018. Effect of the Use of Comic Strips on Students’ Writing Ability in Narrative Text. Department of English. Faculty of Letters. Universitas Negeri Malang. Advisor I Enny Irawati, M.Pd. Advisor II Prof. Bambang Y. Cahyono, M.Pd., M.A., Ph.D Key words: Writing ability, Comic strips, narrative text. English becomes very important in education aspect. English has language components (grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary,) and language skills (listening, speaking, writing, and reading) in order to master English. Writing is one way to express ideas, feelings, or opinions, that is why writing is a crucial communication that could not be separated from human life. The researcher uses comic strips to improve students writing narrative skill because it is a comic so it will arouse students’ interest and they can imagine what they will write through the picture/comic.The objective of the research is to know the effectiveness of the use of comic strips on students’ writing ability in narrative text at the eighth graders of SMPN 2 Plandaan – Jombang year 2017/2018. The method of the study was quasi-experimental method. The method used two classes which were taught in different techniques or strategies. The population was all of the VII graders which consist of 128 students, and the sample was 64 students from two classes; 8-B as the experiment group and 8-C as the control group. The experiment group was taught by using comic strips whereas the control group was taught in conventional way. The research was conducted through the following procedures; giving pre-test (the first meeting), applying treatments, and giving post-test (the last meeting). The evaluation covered content, organization, vocabulary, and grammar (language use). The result was that the experiment group had better achievement than the control group. The result of t-test calculation is8.557, with t-table value is 1.998971 and significance level α = 0.05. The t-test result was higher than the value of t-table (8.557>1.998971). It means that the hypothesis was accepted or the use of comic strips is effective as teaching media in narrative text. Based on the findings, the researcher recommends the teacher to use the comic strips as teaching media to teach writing or other skills in narrative text or other texts and for the following researchers who will conduct the same research may use more interesting comic in doing research. The researcher hopes this research will be useful for improving the teaching of writing

Thesis, Department of English, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang. Advisors: (I) Prof. Dr. Gunadi Harry Sulistyo, M.A., (II) Prof. Ali Saukah, M.A., Ph.D. Key Words: Pictures, Reading Tests, Reading Comprehension Reading is one of the four language skills besides listening, writing and speaking that is important to learn. Reading is used for written communication as people communicating with each other every day. Therefore, as a form of communication reading is essential in people’s lives. When people are not in face to face, they can communicate by using messages they write. In reading, there are two areas that are important for the readers to know which are skills and strategies. Using pictures is one of the reading strategies as reading is not just a skill of words but also for images. This study aims to investigate the effect of pictorial text features in reading tests to the students’ reading comprehension. This study used quasi experimental design. The population in this study was junior high school students in Malang. The samples in this study were class VIII-B SMPN 2 Malang and class VIII-F SMPS Kartika IV-9 Malang. Those two schools were chosen by using stratified random sampling technique while the classes were chosen by using random sampling technique. Students’ reading comprehension was measured by using an instrument in the form of multiple- choice reading test. The students were given two kinds of test which were reading test with pictures and reading test without pictures but in different order. The results showed that the mean score of reading test with pictures were higher than the mean score in reading test without pictures. The mean score of reading test with pictures was 64.7020 while the mean score of reading test without pictures was 59.9431. It means that the students when they are given a reading test with pictures have better reading comprehension than when they are given a reading test without pictures. The hypothesis testing by using Wilcoxon Rank Test was done and the calculated value in column Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) was .000. It is lower than .05 which means the students’ scores when they are given reading test with pictures are significantly higher than the students’ scores when they are given reading test without pictures. This indicates that pictures in reading test significantly affect the students’ reading comprehension RINGKASAN Rihadini, Pristya Ulfa. 2018.

Intersemiotic Complementarity: Picturing Puns
No full textABSTRAK Bahtiar, A. Zulfan. Intersemiotic Complementarity: Picturing Puns. Thesis, Department of English, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang (UM). Advisors: (I) Prof. A. Effendi Kadarisman, M.A, Ph.D (II) Prof. Dr. Yazid Basthomi, M.A. A number of linguistic studies on puns have been conducted by several researchers in the past few years. There are numerous studies that examine verbal puns as well as written puns in various media. The studies that on picture-based puns, however, are still scarce today. As pointed out by Royce (2007:63), there are still insignificant number of studies that discuss the nature of the intersemiotic-semantic relationships between the visual and verbal modes to provide explanations of what characteristics make multimodal text logically connected. This research seeks to scrutinize what types of pun occur in its picture-based form and how the texts and the pictures simultaneously contribute to the creation of picture-based puns. In this study, some internet memes that were downloaded from 9GAG were analyzed. In order to collect the data, some parameters based on Royce’s (2007) theory of intersemiotic complementarity are set. Eventually, 50 internet memes are collected as the data of this study. Categorization is needed in order to answer the first research question. The research found that there are 7 classifications that categorize the data based on what linguistic phenomena that are being played in the creation of the picture-based puns. The classifications are paronymy (16 data, 32%), metaphorical ↔ literal shift (11 data, 22%), homophony (10 data, 20%), homonymy (4 data, 8%), mixed (4 data, 8%), juncture (3 data, 6%), and spelling (2data, 4%). 15 representative internet memes are then analyzed further. In addition, some elaborations are made to correlate Royce’s theory of intersemiotic complementarity with the data collection to explain how the text and the pictures contribute to the creation of picture-based pun. The research finds that, in the case of picture-based puns, the texts and the pictures work simultaneously to create context which then generate the humor within them. Lastly, as this present study still absolutely needs some improvements, and since this topic is a relatively new topic, and has not been explore that much.it is suggested that the future researchers not only explore other possibilities of conducting research on this topic, but also conduct research on different points of view
USING RECOUNT PLANNER TO ENHANCE THE EIGHTH GRADERS' ABILITY IN WRITING RECOUNT TEXTS
No full textABSTRAK Susanti, Luthfi Mahdya. 2018. Using Recount Planner to Enhance the Eighth Graders’ Ability in Writing Recount Texts. Thesis. Department of English, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang. Advisors: (1) Dra. Sri Andreani, M.Ed. (2) Dr. Utari Praba Astuti, M.A. Writing refers to finding, developing, organizing, and communicating ideas or experiences in paragraphs in the written form. Writing is considered as the hardest skill to be mastered by the students. The problem also found in VIII-B class at SMP Negeri 4 Malang. The result of the preliminary study showed that the students had difficulties in finding and organizing their ideas in chronological order. To address this problem, the researcher used Recount Planner to improve the students’ ability in writing recount text. Recount Planner is a template that helps the students construct and organize their ideas on their pre-writing activity by filling several boxes provided with guided questions. The research design used in this research is Classroom Action Research which was conducted in two cycles in five meetings. This research consisted four steps: planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. The subjects of this study were 30 students of VIII-B class in SMP Negeri 4 Malang. As stated in the criteria of success, this research was considered successful if at least 75% students gained 10 points and 75% of the students actively participated in learning and teaching activities. 75% was chosen based on the findings in the preliminary study which there were only 25% students’ writings who passed the minimum passing grade which was 75. There were also 25% who actively participated during the teaching and learning activities. In collecting the data, the researcher used several instruments which were writing tasks, observation checklist, and field notes. Scoring rubric was used to analyze the students’ recount texts. After obtaining the scores, the researcher analyzing them by using WPS formula. In the other hand, the observation checklist was analyzed by the total of each indicator’s points was divided by the maximum of the point and multiplied by 100%. The maximum point was obtained from the total number of indicator multiplied by 4. In Cycle 1, there were 26 (87%) out of 30 students who gained 10 points and 68.6% students actively participated during the implementation of Recount Planner. Since the result of the observation checklist did not meet the criteria of success, the researcher conducted the Cycle 2. In Cycle 2, there were 27 (90%) out of 30 students who gained 10 points and 84.61% actively participated during the implementation of the media. In conclusion, the implementation of Recount Planner could successfully improve the students writing ability in recount texts. The corrections, comments, and revisions from the teacher were also the factors that helped to improve the students’ ability in writing recount text. Based on the results of the research, the researcher proposes some suggestions for the English teachers and the future researchers. The result of the study can provide a model of the use of effective media that can be implemented to improve the students’ ability in writing recount text and create more interesting and varied teaching and learning process. For the future researcher, the result of this study can be useful as a reference to conduct future studies in the use of Recount Planner to improve students’ ability in writing various type of texts.
