English proficiency also coverscommunicative linguistic aspects that require the speakers to comprehend and use thelinguistic aspects of language, as well as their functions and rules (Common EuropeanFramework of Reference for languages, 1971).

In order tomeasure teachers‘ proficiency on grammatical structures, this research is conducted to designa diagnostic test. A needs analysis questionnaire was distributed to 24 English teachers toidentify the grammatical structures that they need to review and the urgency. The result of thequestionnaire was used to determine the number of test items for each structure. The resultsof the diagnostic test were used to design a review program to help teachers review andimprove their competence on grammatical structures based on their needs. Keywords: grammar, diagnostic test, proficiency

Abstract

Understanding collocations is essential to interpret meanings. This study aims to analyze the similarities and differences between the collocations of the English words heart and mind. About 99 data were taken from Corpus of Contemporary American English. The collocations were categorized based  on the grammatical patterns. Then, the lexical  meaning of each collocation was analyzed based on the context. The collocation patterns of the words heart and mind are almost similar. Seven categories of the collocations of the word heart include heart + noun (23.24%), heart + verb (20.20%), preposition + heart (16.16%), heart of + noun (15.15%), verb + heart (12.12%), other phrases (8.08%) and adjective + heart (5.05%). Meanwhile, seven  categories of the collocation of the word  mind include other phrases (33.33%), preposition + mind (30.30%), verb + mind (11.11%), noun + of mind (10.10%), adjective + mind (8.08%), mind + verb (6.06%) and mind + noun (1.01%). Collocations in the form of phrases tend to have idiomatic meanings. However, there is no clear relationship between the collocation patterns and meanings of both words.

Abstract

The paper aims to show how non-Western literature works are integrated into World English Literature. It highlights two non-Western literature works, one from India and the other from Indonesia. The object of this study is Mahabharata and Pramoedya’s selected writings. The analysis focuses on comparing them from the process of circulation, translation, adaptation and production to depict the values and portrayal of women in different time spans. The result of the analysis is that the values in Mahabharata are still relevant until today, therefore people may learn from its philosophical life meaning about brotherhood and loyalty. Meanwhile, Pramoedya’s selected writings show the value of nationalism, loyalty, and humanity. The similarities of both literary works also lie in portraying the issue of feminism in responding towards the life challenges.Keywords: world literature, nationalism, feminism, patriarchy, circulation

Abstract

Mahfouz’s literary fame is mainly based on his novels which become the main source for the critics to understand his whole literary visions. Mahfouz’s short stories, on the other hand, are considered secondarily valuable by the critics as the remainder of the ideas from his novels. This paper proposes that Mahfouz’s short stories are as important as his novels in a sense that they highlights or magnify particular aspects of Mahfouz’s visions. From the analysis of three Mahfouz’s short stories entitled “Zaabalawi”, “A Day for Saying Goodbye”, and “The Answer is No”, some of his essential themes and literary visions, which developed further in his novel, are identified. In Zaabalawi, the persistence in maintaining hope of finding meaningful life in spite of the persisting tragedy in human life is emphasized by Mahfouz. In A Day for Saying Goodbye, Mahfouz depicts the futility of modernity without adherence to religious values. In The Answer is No, by depicting the shift of gender relations and accomodating the marginalized women’s resistence to patriarchy, Mahfouz encourages the reformation of unjust societal structure.  Keywords: women’s resistance, existential meaning, social justice

Abstract

Linguistics as a present study, acts as an instrument towards promoting local languages. This recent study aims at studying some of phonological processes in Chagga language (Particularly Kibosho and Marangu varieties). Chagga is a Bantu language family spoken by Chagga people of Tanzania, south of Mount Kilimanjaro. Borrowing is the act of taking a word or a phrase from one language and used it in another language. The present study is carried out under Generative CV Phonology Theory, developed by linguists, Keyser and Clements in (1983). This theory strives to guide the present study on scrutinize phonological processes with their rules in Kibosho and Marangu varieties. The very study is the phonological type of study which employs qualitative method. The study employs Interview to observe the pronunciation by native speakers, voice note as linguistic variable need for homogenous resemblance of the uttered lexical items and the phonological processes. To answer study question one the study observes there are three major causes of phonological processes in Chagga as in English with very little variations namely: Phonological processes motivated by syllable structure rules [vowel insertion/ epenthesis], Phonological processes in Chagga language affecting syllable [consonant deletion] and Phonological processes motivated by phonemic reasons [cluster tolerance, feature change]. In adhering problem two the study has found similar phonological processes between English and Chagga with very little differences especially on phonemes which undergo the changes hence advocates for further analyses in local African and Asian languages to pursue a similar study or any nearly phonological study in order to preserve and promote local linguistics contents from ones native language.Keywords: Phonological processes, Nativazation, Phonological rules, Chagga languageI

Abstract

The use of English preposition is a little bit confusing, especially for Indonesians. It is because Indonesia only has one preposition ­di­- to indicate the English prepositions in, on, and at. In this research, it is found that the prepositions in, on, and at are used differently based on the relation between the object and the landmark. For preposition in, the concept of containment is introduced. This preposition is used when the object is surrounded by the landmark. For preposition on, the concept of contact and support is highlighted, and gravity takes part in the use of this preposition. It means that the object should be in contact with the landmark and the landmark should support the object so that it will not move or fall. Lastly, the preposition at requires us to portray an imaginary location to determine a certain point of the object. By using the correct preposition in, on, and at, one can have linguistic knowledge, and be able to avoid ambiguity to convey correct messages or ideas to the interlocutors. Keywords:  cognitive semantics, prepositions, in, on, at, principles

Abstract

This paper analyzes the struggle of a Chinese-American woman in “The Red Candle”, one of the vignettes in Amy Tan’s novel The Joy Luck Club (1989). The main character namely Lindo Jong, is confined with patriarchy and tradition and is forced to marry her fiancée at her teenage. Fascinatingly, Lindo can free herself from the arranged marriage and her oppressive new family by a clever scheme. Spivak’s strategic essentialism is then applied to scrutinize this particular issue. Indeed, by strategic essentialism, Lindo still upholds her value as a Chinese woman and her respect to her filial piety, also, she can obtain her own independence as a woman.Keywords: Chinese-American woman, patriarchy, tradition, strategic essentialism

Abstract

L2 learners’ morpheme acquisition has been studied a lot subsequent to Dulay and Burt’s work (1974). Similar to other studies responding to Krashen’s (1977) notion on natural acquisition order, this small-scale research aims at investigating whether Indonesian high school English learners also go through similar acquisition order as the respective notion. The data taken from a group of Indonesian high school students’ writing assignment were analyzed using the Obligatory Occasion Analysis (Ellis & Barkhuzien, 2005) to investigate the grammatical morpheme acquisition order of the students. Subsequently, the finding was analyzed to see whether the acquisition order was influenced by Krashen’s hypothesis. The findings showed that the morpheme acquisition order of the research participants did not go through similar acquisition order as stated in Krashen’s natural order hypothesis. Further, the participants’ L1 partially contributed to the order.
