This finding confirms the need to develop a contextual and integrative English for specific purposes (ESP) curriculum for ICB students.

Abstract

A child is the greatest gift from the God after marriage. Giving the best to him is a must. Parents are always selective in giving education. That education can be started since they are still in the womb. It is named prenatal education. Although a fetus or baby is still in the womb, his hearing and understanding develop well because of stimulus from outside. Giving education is not just for intelectual, but also for mental and spiritual. A mother should know and give the best thing for her baby. Quran is the basic thing for moslems’ life. A pregnant woman who listens, reads, or recites Quran feels comfort. Her baby will feel the same because mother’s condition influences baby’s condition. Various researchers showed that pregnant women who read, recite or listen to the Quran can give good impact to the fetus or baby in the womb. It does not just influence the baby’s Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and Emotional Quotient (EQ), but it also gives Spiritual Quotient (SQ) to the baby.

Abstract

Many students do not like English debate. They argue that in the debate, they should apply four skills in English and should have appropriate matter, manner, and method. One of the reasons which make them do not like the debate is their lack of motivation. To solve this problem, teacher or lecturer should apply the appropriate technique in the teaching-learning process. Cooperative controversy technique is different with the traditional debate. In this technique, debaters change positions and try to reach a consensus at the end of the debate. By doing it before practicing the real English debate format, the students will get the basic knowledge about the debate so they do not directly practice the complicated one. Cooperative controversy increases the number of ideas, quality of ideas, feelings of stimulation, and enjoyment and originality of expression in creative problem solving. If it is compared to the group which does not use controversy, in controversy, the members get motivation and satisfaction in solving the problems.
