This research aims at finding lexical cohesion in high and low-graded lexical cohesion types on the students' narrative writing. The researcher wants to reveal the reasons why the writing problems exist in lexical cohesion and also to find out what way that the students will use to solve the lexical types in writing narrative text. The present research uses the types of lexical cohesion as proposed by Halliday and Matthiensen (2014). The lexical cohesion items consist of repetition, synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, and meronymy. The data of this research are derived from students' writing through writing research papers. This research was conducted in qualitative. The results show that repetition becomes the highest occurrence in the students' writing as there are 240 occurrences (64%) in total types of lexical. Nevertheless, the least kind of lexical cohesion is hyponymy. There are only 20 occurrences (6, 6%). It can be seen that the meaning relation in the text occurs among the six types of lexical cohesion to make cohesive text. Besides that, the context of the text itself also refers to coherent text. It means that the text should consist of interrelated sentences to achieve good unity. Both are related to each other in creating well-structured text. The students were sometimes difficult to connect one word with other words. There might be a reluctance of translating the classification of the real words of EFL. Pedagogically, the students need to get studying vocabularies professionally to upgrade the stage of English into an advanced level especially in teaching English writing ability. It was recommended to teachers or lecturers to take an in-depth look at the EFL learners' problems in writing English more than and the English lecturers practice the prompt way to master vocabulary as the core of enhancing the writing quality
Education is emphasized to grow the tools offered by the 4.0 to create the teaching-learning process more practical and adapted to the social demands. This research aims at finding the students' perception on the teaching method by multimodal approach which is focused on the construction of verbal texts and visual texts. The subject of this research is the students of the sixth semester in English Department of the HKBP Nommensen University Medan. This experiment research is applied by multimodal approach which is focused on the construction of verbal texts and visual texts and continued by questionnaires. The implementation of teaching with a multimodal approach which is focused by verbal and visual tends to motivate students’ interest in speaking English. The result of the score achieved by the students with 73.33 percent is relevant to the students’ motivation with 86.67 percent by the mean of test score in 76.73. This is the one of evidence shows that creativity of the lecturer by multimodal approach by which the digital play makes a huge manner in the interest subject to be lectured.
The digitization of education is the use of technology as an aspect of the learning system, from the curriculum to the education system, which has a very big influence on innovation. As society and academic demand increase in the modern era, the online learning system (OLS) is encountered by society and academics. The multimodal approach refers to the huge learning competence in English ability as if the method or application is integrated in a digitizing manner. The multimodal approach contains using images, verbal and visual integration with words or text which provides meanings in the mode of communication. The process of analyzing and disclosing the text will give essence to the meaning of a picture message in a printed book will reveal projection, enhancement, concurrence. All of which are discussed based on linguistic analysis to relate the text to the general characteristics of language both verbally and visually. Systemic function Linguistics based on the concept of metafunction has ideational, interpersonal, and textual components linking the internal forms of language and their use in semiotic social contexts will be enacted to the research. The research will use descriptive and qualitative methods.
The objective of this research is to find the effect of the Audio- Lingual Method on speaking achievement of the second grade of students on English Department of the HKBP Nommensen University Medan in academic year 2018/ 2019 which is focused on dialog speaking encompassing the pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, fluency, and comprehension. This design of the research was the experimental quantitative design which applied two variables, such as a dependent variable as a speaking ability and an independent variable as an Audio- Lingual Method. Having analyzed the data, the writer found that the Audio- Lingual Method affects students’ speaking ability. There was a different mean score obtained from the both control group 65, 28 and the experimental group is 8,031. The result of the calculation is: Tabs > table (P= 0.05); (df= 48) And 8,031 > 2,010 (P = 0.05); (df = 48). The alternative hypothesis of the method is accepted. The students’ speaking ability by using the Audio- Lingual Method shows better results compared to those who did not teach by using the Audio- Lingual Method. It is suggested for English teacher to use the Audio- Lingual Method as the way to improve the students’ English speaking ability.
The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of NISP strategy on students� achievement in reading comprehension. The population was all of the tenth grade students of SMA GKPI Medan. The sample was the students of X-IPS 2 (experimental) and X-IPS 1 (control). This study used experimental design. The mean score of pre-test in experimental class was 64 and the post-test was 81,53. The mean score of pre-test in control group was 51,26 and the post-test was73,53. Moreover, the analysis of t-test showed that tscore > ttable or 3,01 > 1,672 at the level of significance 0,05 with the degree of freedom (df) 58. It is clear that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. It means that NISP strategy is effective media in teaching reading narrative text.
