Abstract

Every teaching practitioner seemingly has come to a common term that language advising is essential in language learning especially in fostering language learner autonomy. However, the issues as to whether teachers also serve as advisors or advisors are also teachers, or whether both play separate roles, or they are actually the same individuals who play different roles are still in controversy. This writing is not trying to claim which one is right and which one is not. This essay is just a little lantern on how actually the roles of advisors are exercised by teachers within the context of Indonesian EFL classrooms. Presumably, the advising teachers in Indonesian setting do not only feel responsible for transmitting knowledge and skills, but also for transforming ideas, advice, morality, values, etc. into their learners within and beyond classroom practices. Thus, the inkling of this essay is briefly addressing both theoretical and practical account of language advising within the spectrum of learner autonomy.

Abstract

Teaching and testing are inseparable elements in pedagogical world irrespective of the course a teacher teaches. Phrased differently, there is no teaching without testing and vice versa. The results of testing should ideally motivate students in learning and give better perspectives to teachers on _how to devise a better teaching-learning. Accordingly, a teacher needs a sort of test that can sufficiently assess students' actual achievement in learning, in their given courses. One of which is so-called "Oral Test", the test that can give a feel of confidence that the test really measures what is purported to measure and provide relatively consistent results over the time (validity and reliability respectively), which, in the end can opaquely discriminate the proficiency levels amongst the students. Thus, this paper is a humble attempt to juxtapose leaching and testing and to run a critical diagnosis on the fruitfulness of oral test, the test type worth trying.

Abstract

This article deals with the notion of reflective practice (RP) and how it may contribute to the professional development in teacher education programs especially for pre-service teachers and in-service teachers within the context of Indonesia. It aims to explore and explain the stance and features of RP and how it can serve to help both pre-service and in-service teachers improve their teaching quality and develop their teaching professionalism, especially those involved in English language teaching (ELT). This article examines the feasibility of this concept to be applied in Indonesian pedagogical contexts. Being widely accepted as an empowering teaching mode practice in most parts of the world, this RP plays a central role in triggering teachers' professional development, leading the teachers to be self-learning, autonomous learning, self-evaluating, and problem-solving-oriented practitioners. The research method used in this article is library research, through which the standpoint and characteristics of RP are explored and disclosed, and RP's potential can be maximized systematically. This library research method is realized based on the five research problems posed in this article. The same data on RP were extracted from research articles and textbooks on RP. The main findings suggest such aspects as the conceptualization of RP, defining features of RP practitioners, benefits teachers can gain from RP, and potential contributions of RP for both pre-service and in-service teachers' teaching competence and continual professional development. Hence, this RP article potentially provides a meaningful paradigm for language teachers and enriches their pedagogical repertoire.  Thus, this article brings about two important notes. First, it theoretically portrays how RP can meaningfully affect the efficacy of ELT practice in Indonesia. Secondly, it fundamentally sets out RP conceptualization as the basis for professional teaching practice through continuous learning and development. That is, learning to develop through a critical self-evaluation of teachers' teaching practice

Abstract

This article projects the syntactical aspects of world leaders' quotes via the X-bar theory. The reason why portraying the quotes utilizing the X-bar is due to the distinctiveness of the sentence patterns of the quotes themselves. By distinctiveness, world leaders tend to use simple sentence pattern in their creating their quotes and due to this simplicity the quote has endless impact and becomes easily chanted and widely known. For instance, the quote 'I have a dream' is very familiar to everyone's ears for partly it uses DP-VP-NP in the X-bar theory. This typicality is exposed through the primary research problems: what are the typical Dstructure configurations of the world leaders' quotes and how are the configurations transformed into their S-structures? Thus, this article focuses on discovering the underlying representations of the quotes of world leaders via the generative and transformational processes. The identified quotes are the internet-based data selected purposively. The article utilizes a descriptive and explanatory analysis. Keywords: D-structure, S-structure, world leaders’ quotes

Abstract

This paper is aimed at analyzing the apology of the then regent of Garut regency, Aceng, in relation to his brief marital case from interdisciplinary critical discourse analysis (CDA). These cover Speech acts, Narra-tive analysis, sociolinguistic considerations, ideologies and hegemonies. All of them are presented succes-sively to support one another to reach a comprehensive perspective on Aceng‟s phenomenal case. Based on the analysis, it is found that Aceng‟s apology is not effective, it is contra productive. In terms of sociolin-guistic considerations, Aceng‟s apology is against the common shared norms as it is not coming from his heart (insincerity). In terms of ideology, it is clear that marriage was considered to be a sacred thing to do and therefore should be kept (ignored by Aceng), whereas divorcing is hardly acceptable in whatsoever rea-sons. In terms of hegemonies, it is also clear that the powerful dominates the weak, implying that Aceng‟s power was wrongly exercised. Keywords: Apology, Interdisciplinary Discourse Analysis

Abstract

This article is exposed to scrutinize one of salient ideas in pragmatics. In this niche, we are centrally concerned with the organization of conversation. Key definitions will come up along the article, and the conversations analyzed here are borrowed from a readily available textbook of linguistics, in which two or more participants freely alternate in speaking, which generally happens outside specific institutional settings. This article tries to look into conversations, pragmatic phenomena. This also proposes a theo-retical phase for a conversational analysis and therefore helps students understand the procedures in analyzing co-present conversational participants. To a certain extent, presupposition may be seen in some basic ways organized around a conversational setting: the way in which information has to be presented if it is to be introduced to particular participants with specific share assumptions and knowl-edge about the world they are in. Key words: Pragmatics, Conversational Analysis, Language Usage.

Abstract

Artikel ini membahas tentang permohonan maaf Aceng (Bupati Garut) atas sikap dan tindakannya yang berkaitan dengan kasus pernikahan kilatnya yang  ditinjau dari Analisis Wacana/Critical Discourse Analysis” (CDA) dengan pendekatan  interdisipliner. Bidang-bidang ini mencakup Speech Acts, Analisis Narasi, Sosiolinguistik, Ideologi dan Hegemoni. Kesemuanya dipaparkan secara berurutan dengan tujuan menghasilkan perspektif yang menyeluruh tentang kasus Aceng yang fenomenal tersebut.  Dari hasil analisis ditemukan bahwa permintaan maaf Aceng terbukti tidak efektif alias kontra produktif. Dari segi sosiolinguistik,  permohonan maaf Aceng dianggap bertentangan dengan normanorma yang dipegang masyarakat Garut dikarenakan permintaan maaf tersebut tidak berasal dari hati nuraninya (tidak ihlas). Secara ideologis, pernikahan merupkan suatu pekerjaan yang mulia dan oleh karena itu harus dijaga dan dihormati (dan ini diabaikan oleh Aceng), sementara itu perceraian merupkan suatu tindakan yang sulit sekali bisa diterima dengan dalih apapun. Secara hegemonis, kita menyaksikan bahwa  yang berkuasa menguasai yang lemah. Denagn kata lain, kekuasaan Aceng sebagai Bupati telah disalahgunakan sehingga yang lemah menjadi tetap teraniaya.
