Most of the researchers used experimental methods. The questionnaire and data collection were used to analyze how this activity affected. The students who were taught using song and authentic video got better outcomes rather than those who were taught using the usual. The questionnaire responses showed that the students preferred the authentic listening materials. Those were more interesting and more related to their real-life context so that it could motivate them to give more attention to the listening class and this also assisted them to improve their listening ability.

Errors in translation stems from numerous sources, yet one of the most common sources of the errors is the lack of vocabulary mastery. Therefore, it is imperative for aspiring translators to increase their vocabulary mastery. This article proposed extensive reading through the implementation of book club in Translation class to increase students’ vocabulary. The rationale for the book club as well as the details of the implementation are discussed herein.

The researcher was interested in making an analysis of Relative clauses made by the students under study. The present study is intended to assess the acquisition of relative clauses made by the eighth-grade students of SMP N 3 Selat Karangasem in academic year 2017/2018. In other words, this study is to figure out the ability of the subject under study in understanding relative clauses. The present’s study which use ex-post facto research design with descriptive analysis was intended to answer the following research question: to what extent is the acquisition of relative clauses made by the eighth-grade students of SMP N 3 Selat Karangasem in academic year 2017/2019? In order to answer the research question before, the data were required for the present study which in the form of raw score is showing the ability of the students in mastering relative clauses, were collected by administering the valid and reliable research instrument in form of multiple-choice test items. Then the data is analyzed by using Norm-Reference measure with five standard values. The populations of the present study are the eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 3 Selat which consist of 206 students. They are considered to have heterogeneous characteristics.

(4) There are 12 students or (40%) under 30 students under study who showed insufficient ability of relative clause. (5) No one students or (0%) out of 30 students who showed poor ability of relative clauses. In the result of the study were used as the basses to assign level/grade to the subject under study, there are 12 students or 40% out of 30 students under investigation who fail in learning and acquiring relative clauses. It means that 40% of them still have low ability. The finding of the present study can be used as the basses in planning much better language teaching especially in mastering grammar or relative clauses.

This is a descriptive qualitative research which aimed at finding the perception and obstacles of college students in writing. The subject of this research was all of students in English Education Department of STKIP Suar Bangli in academic year 2018/2019. There were three instruments used in this research, namely questionnaire, interview and documentation. From the data analysis it was found that students of English Education Department considered writing was important for them and considered as the second most important skill after speaking. Teaching writing skill should be taught through the process of writing (drafting, writing and revising) in relax and fun situation with many practices. The evaluation of writing should also provide feedbacks for their writing improvement. The most challenging obstacle that should be solved by the students was finding ideas. The students also proposed some reasons that may trigger them to write such as having idea/inspiration, having assignment, being in a good mood, there is time allocation for writing, having motivation, and being in supportive situation and condition. It is also suggested to teach writing skill by using project-based learning through proper process of writing starting from pre-writing, drafting, writing, revision and editing. The evaluation was also in form of portfolio assessment.

A comparative analysis is needed between the two languages or known as contrastive analysis to identify their structural similarities and differences so that the material and methods of teaching will be appropriate. Further than that, this paper is aimed to give a clear understanding about how Indonesian differs from English in the sense of its language features, especially in plural form. It is known that the structure of the plural between English and Indonesian is different although some similarities were found. Indonesian learners will find it difficult to learn plural words because in terms of word formation, English and Indonesian are very different. The formation of plural words in English is through the process of affixation, while in Indonesian, the formation of plural is through reduplication and addition of quantifier and number. It is necessary to give more explanations and exercises to learn the plural of English because with a lot of practice, it is hoped that Indonesian learners will start to get used to the formation of the plurals.
