Abstract
In learning a language, students need to exposure to the target language: not only when explaining the materials but also the instructions the teachers use should be in English. To be effectively understood, teachers’ instructions should be clear and understandable so students know how to do the activities. This study focuses on the syntactic ambiguity that occurs in the process of giving instructions by student teachers. Specifically, the study aimed to find the types of syntactic ambiguity in student teachers’ instructions and the way they correct the instructions. This research used a qualitative method by analyzing six video recordings of their teaching practices (PPL). Instructions were transcribed and analyzed to identify the types of syntactic ambiguity and ways to resolve syntactic ambiguity. The results revealed that there were three different types of syntactical ambiguity in student teachers’ instructions: prepositional phrase placement, noun phrase ambiguity and adverb attachment. The study also found that student teachers attempted to resolve less than half of the instructions with syntactic ambiguity by putting juncture correctly, adding more detailed information and lengthening the sentence. This study highlights that student teachers’ instructions have syntactic ambiguity and most of them are not aware of the ambiguous instructions they use. Referring on this, they should plan instructions before teaching their students and increase their linguistic knowledge of target language.
