Abstract

Praise be to Allah SWT who has given mercy and blessings, so I can complete this thesis as well as possible. Salawat and greetings may be given to our Prophet Muhammad SAW along with his companions, tabi’in, and followers.

I would like to express my endless gratitude to all parties who have been involved and helped me in completing this thesis. First, I dedicate my thesis to my beloved family, my beloved father M. Dahroji and my beloved mother Solikatin, and don’t forget my sweetest sisters, Rimayatun Indamah and Rena Widayanti, who never stop supporting me both in words, actions, and materially.

I also dedicate this thesis to my supervisors, Dr. Shafa, S.Pd.I., M.Pd., and Mrs. Nadia Sya’ya, M.Pd., M.TESOL, who have taken the time, energy, and thoughts to guide me with patience and sincerity so that I could complete my thesis. May Allah reward you with a thousand times better. Aamiin.

Thank you to UINSI Samarinda for being a place for me to gain knowledge. Thanks to all of the academic community of FTIK UINSI Samarinda, especially Ms. Rostanti Toba, M.Pd., as Head of the Language Department, and Miss Widya Noviana Noor, M.Pd., as my advisor in studying at UINSI Samarinda.

To all my friends that I cannot mention one by one, because everyone took turns supporting me in completing this thesis—friends from elementary school, junior high, senior high school, college at UINSI, members of Dormitory UINSI 2018, ECO, PKU, HIMADIKSI, and all my friends who met me at certain times—thank you for all the support and sincerity that have been given. May we all be blessed by Allah SWT.
