Abstract

During the open campaign of the 2014 Indonesian legislative election, the way how the writers of opinion articles in newspapers perform their writing in relation with the context of the campaign is an interesting phenomenon as the fact that people writing about social matters are inevitably influenced by the way they perceived them, as well as their choice of topics and the way they approach them, by their own social experiences and values and political commitments (Fairclough, 1992). This study is aimed at revealing the short term goals and long term goals of the opinion articles in The Jakarta Post towards 2014 Indonesian legislative election. The data were collected from sixteen opinion articles in The Jakarta Post during the open campaign. The result indicates that the number of articles with unparallel purpose is higher than that of articles with parallel purpose.

Abstract

This study explores self-mentions in Applied Linguistics research articles written by Indonesians and non-Indonesians. Twenty research articles consisting of 10 research articles written by Indonesians, and the other 10 by non-Indonesians were randomly selected from the leading and international Applied Linguistics journal published in 2017-2018. The use of first person pronouns in those articles was recorded and analyzed. The results indicate the more frequent use of self-mentions in the research articles written by Indonesians than by non-Indonesians.

Abstract

Microteaching lesson study, that is a variation of lesson study applied by student teachers in microteaching course, provides the environment for EFL student teachers to collaborate, engage, and reflect on their ideas, beliefs, and teaching experiences. Such condition is a fertile ground that enables the student teachers' beliefs of language learning to change. Recent studies show that some education programs have changed the beliefs of student teachers. However, no studies have discussed the changes of beliefs of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) student teachers experienced in microteaching lesson study. This present study aims to investigate the effect of microteaching lesson study on EFL student teachers’ beliefs. The data were collected using a questionnaire on Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory (BALLI) adapted from Horwitz administered before and after microteaching lesson study. The participants were the EFL student teachers enrolling in a microteaching lesson study class at Universitas Muria Kudus. The study reveals that the beliefs of EFL student teachers did not change significantly after they experienced microteaching lesson study. Time seems to be one of the most influential factors in hindering the changes of beliefs of the EFL student teachers. Therefore, this study suggests that EFL student teachers be given more time to practise teaching in the microteaching course.

Abstract

As a variation of lesson study, microteaching lesson study is applied by student teachers in microteaching course where they practise teaching to their peers or real students. Thus, it incorporates the aspects of microteaching and  lesson study, i.e., the teaching of small group of peers or real students, the shortened length of time for teaching (approximately 25 to 30 minutes), the division of student teachers in group of three, the cycles of collaborative lesson planning, teaching, and reflecting, and the use of video to capture teacher lesson for later analysis. In addition, it encompasses the features of learning to teach such as reflective teaching, classroom research, and action research. In other words, it provides student teachers with environment that might enable them to be adaptive teachers who can adapt and adjust to the complexities of teaching learning activities.This present study aims to investigate the EFL student teachers’ perception of microteaching lesson study.

Abstract

Due to the global era, bachelor thesis abstracts written by non-native English speakers (Indonesians) from non-English departments in Indonesia are usually written in two languages, i.e. Indonesian and English. The English bachelor thesis abstracts are mostly the translated ones from Indonesian and do not always follow the features of abstract genre. This study aims  at examining the rhetorical moves of English bachelor thesis abstracts written by students from non-English departments. The data consisted of twenty abstracts selected randomly from hard and social science departments of Universitas Muria Kudus. The analysis employed Hyland’s five rhetorical move model. The study reveals that most English bachelor thesis abstracts did not follow the five rhetorical moves. The absence of some rhetorical moves in the English bachelor thesis abstracts may lead to the communicative purposes not achieved and thus might cause difficulty for readers to understand the study.Keywords: move, English bachelor thesis abstract, Indonesians
