Analysis Cause and Effect Video (Isna, Lisa, Divana)

Link YouTube: How Does an Earthquake Happen?

This video is considered an explanation text because it educates the viewer on the "how" and "why" of earthquakes, using a cause-and-effect structure to logically lay out the process. The generic structure of an explanation text of the video include:

1. Title: The title is clear tells the topic: earthquake

2. General Statement: This part introduces the topic, explaining what an earthquake is with a simple definition to set the stage for more details.

3. Explanation Sequence (Cause and Effect): st this stage in he video explains step-by-step how tectonic plates move, causing things like ground shaking.

4. Conclusion (or Closing Statement): at this stage, conclusion might summarize the key points or retell the impact of earthquakes, reinforcing the main message.


Language Features:

1. Present Tense

   - Example: “Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates shift suddenly.”

   - Reason: By describing it in the present, the information feels immediate and relevant, reinforcing that these processes apply anytime and anywhere tectonic plates are present.


2. Technical Terms

   - Example: “Seismic waves", "epicenter", etc.

   - Reason: “seismic waves” is the technical terms of waves that move through the Earth because of shifts in the Earth's crust. and "epicenter" is the spot on the Earth's surface right above where an earthquake starts. it is called technical term because this term won't appear when we're not discussing earthquakes.


3. Cause-and-Effect Language

   - Example: “When plates collide, energy builds up; therefore, when released, it causes the ground to shake.”

   - Reason: Cause-and-effect phrases make the relationship between actions and their outcomes explicit. This is helping the viewer to understand why one event leads to another.


4. Passive Voice

   - Example: “The earthquake is caused by the movement of tectonic plates.”

   - Reason: Passive voice focuses on what is happening, not on who is doing it. Beside, the pattern is true that it's passive voice present tense, the pattern is object + auxiliary verb + V3 + by object/pronoun.


5. Sequential Connectives

   - Example: “First, pressure builds up. Next, the plates slip, and finally, the ground shakes.”

   - Reason: The word "first" is a sequential words which organize the events in a clear order. This helps the viewer follow the process step-by-step.


6. Simple Sentences for Clarity

   - Example: “The plates move. This movement causes pressure.”

   - Reason: Simple sentences are easier to understand and absorb, especially when dealing with complex scientific information.

  Students' Perception of Audio-Visual Media in Learning Procedure Text  for Listening Class Listening is an essential skill for language learners and plays a significant role in shaping students' overall language abilities. This study aims to explore students' perspectives, attitudes, and the factors influencing their learning of procedural texts through the use of audio-visual media in college-level listening classes. A qualitative research method was employed, involving eight respondents as the study participants, with questionnaires used as the primary data collection instrument. The results revealed that most students responded positively to the use of audio-visual methods in their learning and agreed that this approach should be implemented in their Listening classes.

  "The Effect of Using Explicit Instruction Strategy on Learners’ Listening Comprehension of Procedure Text" Procedure texts are often found in both academic contexts and everyday life. However, learners frequently face difficulties in understanding instructions when listening to the text. This is usually caused by the complex language structure of procedure texts and unfamiliar vocabulary within them. To address this issue, learning strategies that focus on clarity and structured learning, such as explicit instruction strategies, are expected to enhance learners' understanding of procedure texts through listening activities. This research employs a questionnaire, as it is considered an effective way to gather in-depth information from participants. Furthermore, the data will be processed using qualitative methods to explain the results of the research, focusing on understanding levels, perceptions, difficulties, challenges, and the effectiveness of learners after using t...
