LINGUISTIC FEATURES OF ENGLISH STUDY PROGRAMS STUDENTS’ TEXT MESSAGES TO THEIR LECTURERS
Get PDFABSTRACT
This study aims to examine the linguistic features of English and Indonesian languages in students’ text messages sent to their lecturers. Content analysis is employed and the data are the linguistic features identified in 1,521 students’ text messages delivered to the lecturers. The findings confirm the results of the former studies in that the typographic features of emoticons, letter deletion, rebus writing, and phonetic spelling and morphological features of initialism, abbreviation, reduplication, truncation, and casual style of spoken dictions are employed—the features linguistically creating a special register called textese recognized by non-standard form or textisms. The mechanics of languages are featured by the lack of compliance with the conventional usage of full stops, commas, and capitals; even less than ten percent of spaces considered inevitably used are not conventionally emploed. Dominant uses of one-claused sentences feature the syntax of the languages.
Keywords: linguistic features, text messaging, typography, morphology, and syntax

Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to reveal the online news discourse contained in the "Kedaulatan Rakyat" newspaper entitled "Perjuangan Berat Menjaga Bahasa Jawa", which was published on November 30, 2023 and is on page 11. In this discourse, the researcher wants to deconstruct opinion news information in the realm of news structure, the purpose of using language in the article, and the style of language used by the author named Sarworo Soeprapto. The method used is the textual analysis method combined with the concept of deconstruction. While the qualitative method is a research procedure that produces descriptive data. The results of the study illustrate that the first structure in the form of an introduction is presented with a unique paragraph and attracts the attention of readers, namely in the form of a quote from a Javanese campursari song that is currently a hit, namely a song entitled "Nemen". The presentation of a brief background or context regarding the topic to be discussed and describing the issues or problems that are the focus of the opinion is presented appropriately. The second structure, the content section, reviews the author's opinions and views on the issues discussed with precise and clear explanations accompanied by the author's opinions and facts in the field. The third structure in the form of a conclusion, the author concludes and recapitulates the arguments explained and strengthens his opinion statement. The purpose of the article is to express the subjective opinion of the author, build awareness and understanding, and encourage change and action. In addition, the style of language also plays a role in this article. The use of good and easy-to-understand grammar but there is also an idiomatic style of language in the word 'macan ompong' which means someone who looks fierce and scary but actually can't do anything or more simply a ruler without power, something that looks strong but is actually weak. Practitioners of Javanese language stakeholders who have a strong role as motivators and language improvers are unable to show real action in the field on the grounds of weak funds and human resources

DESIGNING ICT COMPETENCES-INTEGRATED SYLLABUSES OF GRAMMAR COURSES FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM
Get PDFTaking further action to the ubiquitous previous researches about the importance and advantages of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) employment in education, the researchers were motivated to conduct a research about designing ICT competences-integrated syllabuses of Grammar courses for English Language Education Study Program (ELESP). This research employed Design and Development Research (DDR) adapting Cunningham’s concept (Gall, Gall, & Borg, 2003), and produced a set of ICT competences-integrated syllabuses of grammar courses for ELESP which consisted of basic, intermediate and advanced level. To design the syllabuses, the researchers initially analyzed 15 grammar syllabuses from eight different universities for their accommodation of ICT competences. The analysis revealed that the ICT employment in the existing syllabuses were scarce yet dominated with merely use for Technology Literacy that dominantly presented in the components of Assessments, Learning Media, and/or Learning methods. These findings showed that the existing syllabuses did not sufficiently employ ICT, neither purposely and systematically improve students’ ICT competences. To fill these gaps, the proposed syllabuses were systematically used ICT to enhance students’ ICT competences. Furthermore, the ICT integration in the designed syllabuses spread over most of the syllabus’ components which not only meant for Technology Literacy but also for Knowledge Deepening and Knowledge Creation.

Portrayal of Professional Digital Competence (PDC) of English Teacher: Digital Immigrant vs. Native
Get PDFThis study aimed to investigate the differences in professional development for digital competence (PDC) levels between digital immigrant and digital native teachers. A total of 49 teachers participated in the study. Data was collected through an online survey that measured their PDC levels in seven domains: Subject and Basic Skills, School in Society, Ethics, Pedagogy and Subject Didactics, Leadership of Learning Processes, Interaction and Communication, and Change and Development. The results indicated that there were slight differences between the PDC levels of digital immigrant and digital native teachers. Digital immigrant teachers had higher percentages at the none level and the skills level, while digital native teachers had higher percentages at the knowledge level and the competence level. The findings suggest that both groups of teachers have relatively high levels of PDC, indicating that they are capable of using technology effectively in their teaching practices. The study highlights the importance of ongoing professional development for both groups to ensure they are equipped with the necessary digital competencies to effectively support their students in the digital age. The PDC framework can be a useful tool for identifying areas of strength and weakness for both digital learner groups, and can guide the development of targeted professional development programs
