Abstract

Reading folktales to surmise the morality can be so puzzling because morality is not simply about what to do with good and bad categorization, but it is also about how doing morality with its impacts thereafter. Telling adventure folktales and family folktales will create a gap that will in turn convey two different moralities. With all the different characteristics they have, moralities can work in different ways such as defeating bad giant and advising kids good things. This research aims at contrasting moralities conveyed in the two different folktales. The folktales that are analyzed are Jack and the Beanstalk, The Fisherman and His Wife, The King’s Well and Lazy Maria. The theories of morality applied are Kant’s perspective which assumes morality into two; hypothetical (impure) and imperative (pure). Based on the problems discussed, it is found that in adventure folktales, morality functions to show how something done based on the purpose. On the other side, in family folktales, morality functions to show how something done should be based on impacts thereafter. In conclusion, morality cannot be judged only based on how it is categorized as it works on its function and aim; resulting in either good or bad things. College students can see it better than lower level students, because it is not about the judgmental claim, but rather on how to think critically about something sensitive like moral value.

Abstract

Discourse analysis is a general term for a number of approaches to analyze written, spoken, signed language use or any significant semiotic event. The objects of discourse analysis are writing, talk, conversation, communicative event, etc. To have a primary understanding on the discourse analysis in language teaching and learning, the writer hereby tries to descriptively discuss the significance of discourse analysis in language learning and teaching. Of course, this description cannot be claimed as the complete description of discourse analysis since discourse analysis is an ample topic that is applied in various disciplines. At least, however, this paper hopefully can give a highlight to step further.

Abstract

Abstract: The goal of this paper is to know how emerging concepts and digital technologies can respond to the changing needs of the learners. Digital technologies offer us promising opportunities to respond to and incorporate into the practice of educational assessment some of the emerging epistemologies. Epistemologies that may be integral to the effort to deliver high quality education to learners with diverse characteristics and life circumstances in our society. Exploration on development on technology, applied to how we conceptualized and implement assessment may help in the education enterprise to prepare learners for the challenges of the twenty first century workplace. Gordon commissioner and senior scholar Eva Baker (2012) observe that there are at least three rational approaches to dealing with the unpredictability of job and learning requirement in changing global context: 1) educational systems must become both operational and politically agile. 2) Assessment should always include task that call for transfer or the application of learning to new unexpected task, 3) learning and assessment should focus on more pervasive skills that could be embedded in different context and changing subject matter directed toward new applications. Baker identifies two simple and clear policy actions. First transfer must be regularly included as part of test or assessment used to measure learning. Second is to investigate the use of cognitive, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills which is understand as a type of interaction we expect to be demonstrated with components that interact with one another.
