Language transfer means the application of knowledge and understanding of a source language on a target language. Dissimilarities between the source language and the target language could result in a negative transfer. This essay aims to investigate the interference of Indonesian language on English second language writing regarding the order of noun phrase constituents, number marking, and verb tenses. The results presented in this essay were based on three elicitation tasks that were answered by 20 Indonesian students who studied English at a senior high school in Sumbawa Regency, Indonesia. Their ages were between 15 to 18 years old. The participants were given a test that consisted of three elicitation tasks focusing on sentence writing. The results showed that the negative transfer was still found in the students’ writing. However, the students may make mistakes since they had a lack of knowledge, or because they were unable to apply what they knew in their writing.
According to Hedlner and Edlund (2010) there are three possible ways of organizing a speaker change in speaking. One of the ways is overlapping. Overlapping means two persons speaking at the same time. This essay aims to look at the overlaps used in conversation by speakers of Bahasa Indonesian. There were 20 Indonesian speakers participated in the study. The authors grouped them into 10 groups which 2 persons each group, and they were asked to have a conversation with a free topic. The conversations were recorded using a phone, and it was analysed in three stages. The first stage was listening to the recording in order to get the idea of the conversation. The second stage was relistening to three minutes of each recording while transcribing the overlaps. In this part, the conversational Analysis approach was applied in order to detect the occurrence of overlaps. Finally, the last stage was checking the data to make sure the data is valid. The result of the study shows that the purposes of overlaps produced by Indonesian speakers are confirming, floor taking, continuing, and objecting.
Mathematics is often perceived as a complex and difficult lesson to solve, thus making students' mathematical problem-solving ability and curiosity low. This study aimed to analyze the influence of learning using the Creative Problem-Solving (CPS) method assisted by ethnomathematics nuance modules on the problem-solving ability and curiosity of class XI students at SMAN 1 Plampang. This research was a type of experimental research using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–post–test design model. The data collection technique used purposive sampling to collect data as a sample of 35 students in class XI MIPA 1 from a total population of 105 students in class MIPA. The determination of the sample is based on the results of the average score in mathematics and discussion with the mathematics teacher. The results of the study showed that the influence of Creative Problem Solving (CPS) learning assisted by ethnomathematics nuance modules had a significant effect on students' problem-solving ability and students' curiosity in geometry transformation material at SMAN 1 Plampang.
This study aims to compare the errors made by the male and female students who learn English as their second language. This research is classified as qualitative study because the data in this study is in the form of words and the investigators are human beings. The participants of this study comprised 30 students at one of the universities in West Nusa Tenggara. They consisted of 15 men and 15 women. This study's data was gathered through a writing test. This was used to know the students’ errors in writing English. After collecting the data, the authors analyzed the data in four steps; identifying the errors, describing the errors, comparing male and female errors, and explaining the error. The results show that there are similarities and differences in the errors produced by the male and female students. The similarities are a missing verb, subject and verb agreement, problems with plural, double verbs, problems with prepositions, problems with the indefinite article, problems with pronoun, and problems with spelling. The differences are missing a missing a subject, missing a subject and a verb, Capital issues, Verb after modal auxiliary, problems with collocation, problem with a conjunction, and misorder of the word.
Using language as a communication tool requires a relationship between people and society. This relationship is referred to as sociolinguistics. In Indonesia, many people speak more than one language. This phenomenon can be clearly observed in television talk shows, in which celebrities or public figures use code-switching. One celebrity who frequently switches from Bahasa Indonesia to English is Agnez Mo. This essay aims at investigating the identity Agnez Mo constructs using code-switching, and at examining the grammatical aspects in the production of code-switching. Regarding the data collection, as the study focuses on the analysis of the code-switching performed by Agnez Mo on the conversation with Deddy Corbursier (the host) on the Hitam Putih talk show on one of TV channels on YouTube was downloaded. The data collected were analyzed in five stages: listening to the recording, re-listening to the recording while transcribing the conversation, identifying the words that will be analyzed, analyzing the specific phenomenon, and checking the data. The data shows that she builds two different identities, one being multicultural identity and the other religiosity. Also, the data shows that Agnez Mo switches her language using the three types of code-switching: extrasentential, inter-sentential, and intra-sentential code-switching. Keywords: Analyzing, Identity, Code Switching
