At the same time, Indonesia has released film “Rahmat Islam Nusantara” which was written in detail in online media and widely consumed by the public. Based on the excitement, this study focused on the analysis of anaphora to know the reference in every antecedent and continued with thematic roles theory to know the theme of its antecedent on news item to make the news being clear. The study was formulated to answer research questions (1) what does anaphora refer to?. (2) what is thematic roles of that anaphora?. This study employed the qualitative method as research design. The researcher picked archive document analysis research procedure in breaking down the information. “English Syntax : A grammar for English Language Professionals” by Roderick A Jacobs (1995) and “English syntax” by Aarts (2001) were used as the main reference. The analysis showed that there are 31 anaphors found in this article. An anaphora can be found in the same clause with its antecedent whereas thematic roles found is undergoer or theme. Theme role agents create states of affairs, whereas thematic role experiencers have sensory, cognitive, and emotional experiences. Thus, the article demonstrates that what is being said is based on the writer/emotional speaker's experience and his subjective opinion about the problem.","PeriodicalId":118124,"journal":{"name":"JEPAL (Journal of English Pedagogy and Applied Linguistics)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132297285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of the study are to find out the GI and LD which performed in the reading text of Mentari’s textbook and the highest readability in the level of the textbook. The main theory used in this study is the theory of Halliday (1985). This study was conducted by descriptive method with qualitative approach. The data analysis of this study was reading text of Mentari’s textbook for junior’s level. The result of the research revealed: (1) the average score of GI in each level are 1.42 in CONNECT1, 1.42 from CONNECT2, 1.42 in CONNECT3 and 1.41 in the CONNECT4. While, the average score lexical density in each level was CONNECT1 as 59.39 %, CONNECT2 as 63.18%, CONNECT3 as 58.60 % and CONNECT4 as 59.00%. (2) CONNECT2 is the highest lexical density of the textbooks, the result also showed that CONNECT 2 as the hardest text of the level in the juniors’ level.","PeriodicalId":118124,"journal":{"name":"JEPAL (Journal of English Pedagogy and Applied Linguistics)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133929724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The students may gain the understanding by themselves or with the assistance of the handouts they explore or by the explanation given by the teacher. The task-based learning in this study is supported by a procedural form that assists the students as a reference when they are exploring the tasks. Through this procedural form, the students are hoped to acquire their understanding related of the process of changing active sentences into passive ones. Since the aim of the study is to find out the effectiveness of a teaching method, the approach that is conducted is the quantitative experimental method. This method of research is helped by document analysis, questionnaires, and interviews as its instrument. The study was held in a private university in Bandung and participated by 20 industrial engineering students with special requirements. The result of this study tells that the teaching method can help the students who participated to develop their understanding of the process of creating passive voices from their active ones by referring to the procedural form during their activity to solve the problems in the tasks.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":118124,"journal":{"name":"JEPAL (Journal of English Pedagogy and Applied Linguistics)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129031488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
