Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis pertimbangan dilaksanakannya pengangkatan wakil menteri dalam sistem ketatanegaraan Republik Indonesia, untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis kedudukan wakil menteri pasca putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Republik Indonesia Nomor 79/PUU-IX/2011, dan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis kedudukan wakil menteri pada masa yang akan datang. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah yuridis normatif dengan menggunakan sumber data sekunder sebagai landasan pemikiran yang bersifat teoritis, kemudian data itu dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian disimpulkan kedudukan Wakil Menteri pasca putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 79/PUU-IX/2011 apabila dilihat dari segi kewenangannya, kedudukan Wakil Menteri di bawah Presiden dan di bawah Menteri, karena Wakil Menteri bertanggungjawab kepada Menteri dan bertugas sebagai pembantu Menteri. Dari segipengangkatannya, kedudukan Wakil Menteri di bawah Presiden, sedangkan Menteri dan Wakil Menteri kedudukannya adalah sama, dikarenakan sama-sama diangkat dan diberhentikan oleh Presiden melalui tata cara dan prosedur yang sama, sedangkan Wakil Menteri kedudukannya di atas Sekretariat Jenderal/Sekretariat Kementerian. Kedudukan wakil menteri di masa yang akan datang sebaiknya ditiadakan saja, karena peraturan Perundang-undangan yang mengatur wakil menteri telah diubah pasca putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi, namun belum mampu memberikan ketegasan mengenai pengaturan Wakil Menter

Error Analysis of Phonetic Fossilization Uttered by English Department Students University of PGRI Semarang

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan tipe dan latar belakang fosilisasi fonetik yang diucapkan oleh mahasiswa semester 5 Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris di Universitas PGRI Semarang tahun 2014/2015. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian deskriptif dengan data kualitatif. Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah para mahasiswa semester 5 yang mengambil mata kuliah English Phonology dengan jumlahmahasiswa 200. Sampel penelitian adalah kelas 5E, kelas yang paling aktif dan dominan.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hanya 15% kata di dalam kuesioner penelitian yang berhasil dilafalkan dengan baik oleh para responden. Itu artinya bahwa fosilisasi fonetik dilakukan lebih dari 75% responden. Tipe kesalahan yang dibuat adalah tipe fosilisasi fonetik baik dalam kategori perseorangan maupun kelompok, sementara itu alasan-alasan mereka melakukan kesalahan adalah; 1)Simbol fonetik yang masih tidak familier bagi mahasiswa semester. 2) Terdapat habituasi dan kebiasaan-kebiasaan yang merujuk pada dua faktor: internal dan eksternal. Faktor internalnya adalah mahasiswa itu sendiri, yang berarti motivasi untuk belajar dan hasrat untuk lebih dalam mempelajari simbol -simbol fonetik. Faktor eksternalnya merujuk pada proses pembelajaran dan sudut pandang dosen. 3) Metode yang digunakan oleh para dosen pengampu mata kuliah English Phonology and Pronounciation. Masalah ini harus diturunkan karena 90% dari mahasiswa menyatakan di dalam wawancara bahwa mereka sangat tertarik dengan subjek ini danjuga menyatakan bahwa para dosen tidak memberikan tekanan, namun faktanya persentase kesalahan dalam pelafalan di atas rata-rata.Berdasarkan pada hasil-haasil ini, peneliti memberika saran sebagai berikut; 1) Permasalahan ini menjadi tugas bagi seluruh dosen bahasa Inggris, tidak hanya dosen yang mengajar mata kuliah English Phonology and Pronunciation. 2) Simbolsimbol fonetik harus diterapkan secara intensif dan integral sehingga para mahasiswa dapat familier dengan simbol-simbol tersebut. 3) Kebutuhan akan penelitian lebih lanjut yang terkait dengan metode-metode yang digunakan oleh para dosen
