Mahasiswa Indonesia perlu menguasai bahasa Inggris. Karena bahasa Inggris masih dianggap sebagai bahasa asing (EFL) di konteks Indonesia, hal itu menyebabkan masalah bagi mahasiswa dalam mempelajari empat keterampilan dalam bahasa Inggris termasuk menulis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari kesalahan paling umum dalam tulisan bahasa Inggris oleh mahasiswa tingkat akhir di MBTI Internasional Institut Manajemen Telkom. Meskipun dinamakan kelas internasional, sebagian besar bahasa pertama yang mereka gunakan adalah bahasa Indonesia, bahasa lain (yaitu Uzbekistan), atau bahasa lokal mereka (Sunda, Jawa, dll). Hasil tulisan mahasiswa yang diambil adalah dari proyek mata kuliah E-Commerce kemudian dianalisis dan dikelompokkan ke dalam 25 jenis kesalahan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kesalahan yang paling umum adalah sentence structure, preposition, word choice, word form, subject-verb agreement, passive voice, punctuation, verb formation, incomplete structure, dan noun-pronoun. Dalam menghasilkan tulisan ini, para siswa ternyata sangat dipengaruhi oleh bahasa pertama mereka. Dalam penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa sangat penting untuk membuat siswa menyadari perbedaan struktur bahasa Inggris dan Indonesia. Aturan-aturan tertentu dalam Bahasa Indonesia tidak dapat diaplikasikan ketika mereka menulis dalam bahasa Inggris. Siswa perlu memahami perbedaan bahasa ini sehingga dapat menghasilkan kalimat-kalimat yang baik dan dapat diterima.

<p>This study aims to highlight errors in translating Arabic phrases and expressions into English. It is part of a research that attempts to establish some cultural connections between those translational mistakes and the embedded Arabic and Saudi religious and cultural factors that influence making such errors. To achieve the set goal, the researcher observed many written English signs around the city of Tabuk in a period of two years and then archived and analyzed the various translation mistakes collected from universities’ announcements, religious flyers, hospital signs, bill board signs, shops and malls signs, personal signs...etc. The errors were classified into four categories: Singular/Plural, Sentence Structure and Syntax, Word Choice, and Spelling errors. Then a quiz was given to selected female English major students at the University of Tabuk; the quiz contained the same observed mistakes collected earlier. Therefore, the sample of the study was very diverse in its nature of Saudi Arabs and Arabs from other Arab countries that came to live and work in the city of Tabuk; while the students who took the quiz were all of Saudi nationality. It was concluded that the reasons Arab people who publish English translations fail to transfer the Arabic equivalence of English phrases and expressions are mainly due to literal translation and influencing cultural factors that make those people unfamiliar with the use of the right English words in their proper context.</p>

Descriptive Method

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis serta mendeskripsikan unsur-unsur fungsional klausa yang mengalami pelesapan dengan menggunakan pendekatan transformasi kalimat yang terdapat dalam interaksi di pasar Padayungan Kota Tasikmalaya. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan metode deskriptif, tehnik yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu menggunakan tehnik sadap rékam. Pengolahan data menggunakan analisis teks. Sumber data adalah percakapan atau interaksi di pasar Padayungan kota Tasikmalaya. Seluruh transformasi kalimat dan pelesapan unsur-unsur fungsional klausa dijadikan populasi atau sampel total. Ragam bahasa Sunda lisan didukung oleh situasi pemakaian sehingga kemungkinan besar terjadi pelesapan kalimat. Namun, hal itu tidak mengurangi ciri kebakuannya. Walaupun demikian, ketepatan dalam pilihan kata dan bentuk kata serta kelengkapan unsur-unsur di dalam struktur kalimat tidak menjadi ciri kebakuan dalam ragam baku lisan karena situasi dan kondisi pembicaraan menjadi pendukung di dalam memahami makna gagasan yang disampaikan secara lisan.Transformasi ialah proses pembentukan unsur bahasa dari struktur dasar ke struktur turunan. Dalam transformasi, terdapat pelesapan atau yang disebut elipsis. Kalimat elipsis adalah kalimat tidak sempurna yang terjadi karena penghilangan bebrapa bagian dari klausa, dan diturunkan dari kalimat tunggal. Melalui penelitian ini, maka anggapan tentang pelesapan dalam bentuk bahasa Sunda lisan di masarakat pasar Padayungan kota Tasikmalaya, terbukti benar adanya. This research aims to describe and analyze elements of clausal functionsthat undergo elision by using a transformation approach on sentences from communal interactions at Padayungan Market, Tasikmalaya City. This research adopted a descriptive method by way of a tapping record to gather data. Data from communal interactions and conversations at Padayungan Market, Tasikmalaya were analyzed by a textual analysis. The entire sentential transformation and deletion of clausal functions were treated as population or total sampling. Oral language relies on its contexts of use; therefore, ellipsion occurs.Such, however, does not undermine grammaticality. Nevertheless, accuracy in word choice and word form is not characteristic of oral register since the contexts of utterance assist in understanding the meaning. Transformation is a process of constructinglanguage features from underlying structure to derivative structure. In transformation, there is deletion or also known as ellipsis. Elliptical sentencesare incomplete sentences because of elimination of several clausal parts, derived from a single sentence. This research proves that ellipsis occurs in Sundanese oral register at Padayungan Market, Tasikmalaya.

This paper is aimed to investigate the syntactic structure of deaf students of Brawijaya Universirty. Syntactic structure which focuses on this discussion is the ability to recognize the sentence structure produced by deaf students. This study basically focuses on the language produced by deaf students of Brawijaya University in form of narrative writing. The narrative writing is written in Indonesian language. I chose Indonesian language as the language recourse, because the primary language of deaf students is Indonesian.This study uses descriptive qualitative research because this research basically aimed at describing the data in the form written text. The participant of this research is five deaf students who are classified into mild and moderate hearing loss. In term of analyzing the data, we concern on the three aspects of sentence structure. Those are: types of sentence, the presence of Subject and Verb in a sentence and the presence of Object for transitive verb.The finding indicates that the deaf students of Brawijaya University are able to write both simple sentences and compound sentence. They are also capable to write transitive verb which is followed by the object well. Yet, they are less in writing the passive voice form. Moreover, the data shows that different time durations of writing create a different number of words produced by them. Different deaf classification can provide different significance to a number of sentences produced by them.

This study aims to find out the most common challenges of writing short sentences encountered by first-year English-major undergraduate students of English language departments. A mixed method was used including quantitative and qualitative as data was obtained using student questionnaires and interview questions for the lecturers. About 122 first-year English-major undergraduate students (%50.4 female and %49.6 male) from the English Language Departments at all colleges of Al-Baha University were randomly chosen, including 30 lecturers, and were interviewed in the study (15 males and 15 females). The study revealed significant results which have shown difficulties in constructing short sentences, the distinction of active and passive voice, and the use of conjunctions, punctuations, quantifiers, and the correct auxiliary. Also among common issues, students find difficulties in using comparative and superlative degree, subject–verb agreement and the use of articles. Thus, the study recommends that first-year English-major undergraduate students should be given more written exercises as well as written feedback so that students can be able to write more effective short sentences. The study suggests that more studies could be conducted qualitative researches for first-year students of English language department to investigate and analyze the most common challenges and difficulties of the students’ written samples or documents.
