Abstract

It is believed that there will always be a relationship between writing and critical thinking/HOTS. Writing is considered a process of doing critical thinking and a product that communicates the result of critical thinking. Therefore, this paper has two primary aims: first, to investigate the importance of writing and HOTS in foreign language learning; and second, to explore how those two issues can be accommodated through a single computer-assisted learning media, namely STRIKING (Strengthening Critical Thinking in Writing). The media will be in the form of a digital study package which is expected to give some benefits such as facilitating learner-centered learning, allowing the users to organize, analyze, interpret, and evaluate their own work, and getting the learners to be used to control their own learning.

Abstract

In teaching language along with its culture, teacher should take pragmatic aspects into consideration, since understanding pragmatics will help foreign language learners to avoid false interpretation which will cause misunderstanding in communication between speakers with different culture and social backgrounds. It is called as pragmatic failure which usually takes place in cross-cultural communication. Since pragmatics plays quite important role in communication, it is important for foreign language learners to have sensitivity of cross cultural pragmatics, which is commonly known as cross cultural or intercultural pragmatic awareness. However, teaching language along with culture seems to be problematic, since it is relatively difficult to choose which aspect(s) of culture to teach, what content to include, and to represent cultures implicitly under study which presents differences from the norm of students’ local culture. Therefore, this paper tries to explore the essential issues of spoken discourse, pragmatics, cross cultural pragmatics, pragmatic failure, pragmatic awareness, and its implication to pedagogy.
