Abstract

This work represents a novel direction for computational linguistics research on metaphor in the Ever-Glorious Qur’ān. The present study proposed a basic/non-basic meaning criterion as a marker for the computational identification of metaphor in the Ever-Glorious Qur’ān. The corpus was Sūrat Hūd, where manual identification for candidate metaphors was conducted by referring to four authentic exegeses, namely Tafsīr Aṭ-Ṭabarī (2010), Az-Zamakhshari (2007), Al-Qurṭubi (1964) and Ash-Sha’rāwi (1997) as well as Yūsuf ‘Ali interpretation of the meanings of the Ever-Glorious Qur’ān (1992). 22 metaphors were identified and classified based on the proposed semantic criterion. The data were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively, and candidates were classified into three categories depending on their meaning and their degree of metaphoricity. The study drew on the conceptual theory of metaphor by Lackoff Johnson (1980), studies on metaphors in the Ever-Glorious Qur’ān, as well as computational studies of metaphor, in general, to finally arrive at a criterion that describes the meaning of metaphor towards a computational identification of metaphors in the Ever-Glorious Qur’ān. The study proposed a software input to detect metaphors by identifying their semantic features.

Abstract

Evaluation and critics are two essential aspects in assessing a perfect performance. Public speaking is a platform to convey critics as well as evaluations publicly. Critics and Evaluation is an embodiment of check and balance in a democratic nation. Barack Obama attends White House Association Correspondents Dinner annually as a sign of USA democracy establishment. This event is a mark of good relationship between government and mass media correspondents. This study finds critical and evaluative humorous utterances as Obama’s tactical strategy to deliver his critics and evaluation. This research is qualitative research that uses conversational analysis (CA) as the method. The data were transcribed by Jefferson transcription system (2020). It has an aim to examine implicature theory (Grice, 1975) further in humour. This study shows that pragmatical utterances, that is conveyed in humorous concept, need a construction of common understanding, named as common ground. Turn taking is seen from speaker’s speech and various responses of audiences such as laughter, applauses, or short verbal responses. These responses become essential part of discourse constructions in seizing its goal, to criticize and evaluate colleagues’ performance.

Abstract

The Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) outbreak has caused a sudden shift in many educational institutions to various alternative instructional methodologies. This pandemic has altered the traditional and typical strategies for teaching and learning environments. Marinduque State College (MSC), a Higher Education Institution (HEI) in the province of Marinduque, has implemented Flexible Blended Learning (FBL) for Academic Year (A.Y.) 2020–2021. This descriptive research determined the FBL experiences of MSC students in an English language-learning context. The study results revealed that MSC students have an overall positive experience with FBL implemented in their English language class. Nevertheless, continuous support to meet the needs of the most vulnerable students, who cannot entirely keep abreast of the new learning system, must be prioritized. This may help mitigate the widening inequality among students with their right to equal learning opportunities.

Abstract

Literary literacy needs to be cultivated to fight the impact of globalization which has made the local culture eroded and increasingly marginalized and has even begun to show symptoms of being forgotten. Thus, study on local wisdom-based literary literacy needs to be carried out to reveal the values contained in it through the literary literacy movement as reinforcement of language and literature learning. This study uses a qualitative method. The data sources are obtained from teachers, librarians, students, and related parties in school as well as learning plan documents arranged in the lesson plans and students’ learning outcomes. The data are collected through  interviews, observation, and documentation. The results indicate that literacy activities in literary learning focus on reading, understanding, interpreting and responding to literary reading texts. The teachers integrate the values of local wisdom in all stages of literary learning carried out in three phases, namely initial activities, main activities and closing activities. This has positive impact on students not only in terms of academic but also non-academic.The obstacles encountered in its implementation are the low interest of students in reading, the lack of teachers’ understanding of North Maluku local wisdom, the lack of learning methods and varied learning media, and the lack of references to literary books containing local wisdom available in school library. The findings imply that literary literacy based on local wisdom applied by teachers in learning can develop students’ awareness of local cultures. However, it has not been able to improve the students’ literacy skills.

Abstract

Native-speakerism is an ideology in foreign language teaching that believes that Native English Speaking Teachers (NESTs) have better competencies than Nonnative English Speaking Teachers (NNESTs). There are marked differences between NESTs and NNESTs in private classroom learning; for instance, the hourly fees of NESTs are much higher than NNESTs regardless of the long language teaching career. More importantly, there is hardly any research on Native-speakerism ideology from the perspective of nonnative English private tutors. This research, therefore, is conducted to give a broader conception of how NNESTs perceive the native-speakerism ideology in a private class context and contribute to the relatively unexplored area of language teaching. The data of this qualitative study were obtained through a small-scale interview with nonnative English private tutors. Results show that private learning, based on the informants' standpoints, is more oriented to making speakers able to use language skills to communicate fluently than to understand the target language culture, which NNESTs may not fully comprehend. The identity as a NEST and NNEST insignificantly affects tutors' linguistic and teaching competence. However, it significantly creates a massive gap in the teaching costs despite most NESTs' lack of classroom management skills and communication effectiveness to explain teaching materials due to language barriers.

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the role of Historiographic Metafiction and Magical Realism in the enrichment of the plot of Jeanette Winterson’s The Passion and Toni Morrison’s Beloved, clarifying the concept of Magical Realism, its goals, and the reasons for its emergence and importance in literature. Both novels are a distinctive model of Historiographic Metafiction, and both authors have reversed all norms and traditions that are imposed by religious beliefs and patriarchal society to modulate the historical facts and present the familiar and common facts in a different form, and women are no longer oppressed as once their presence were intentionally obliviated in history. They have also mingled fiction with reality, creatively. Winterson embodies Magical Realism's elements innovatively, as she constructed a fictitious and mythical world, creating mythical creatures that are difficult to imagine or explain, whereas Morrison presents slavery different from what is common, portraying the pains of slavery via mixing fiction and reality, to make ordinary become unusual and familiar seem unfamiliar.

Abstract

Designing and providing learning materials that suit the needs of learners is one of the important roles of a lecturer. This study is conducted to examine the appropriate English learning design in non-English Education Study Programs at UMSU with an orientation to the English for Specific Purpose (ESP) approach to analyze the factors that become ESP learning needs and analysis of ESP English learning model design in non-English Education Study Programs. This study involved eight lecturer respondents who teach English in non-educational study programs. This study used a qualitative research design using questionnaires and interviews as research instruments. The results of data analysis showed that factors that underlined the need for ESP in teaching and learning English in non-English Education department were going under two categories, namely the short-term factor and the long-term need factor. The design of the ESP English learning model, then, was concerned to the students’ need of English after their study period. This fact is in accordance with the theory of ESP learning approach under the skill-centered course design which aims to help learners develop skills and strategies that will continue after the ESP learning. The combination of both (Learning-centered approach and skill-centered course design) emerged as an innovation of the ESP course design for students of non-English study program.

Abstract

Parents believe that books are the media to enhance children’s knowledge enrichment, language development, and linguistic competencies. However, there are limited studies that envisage the involvement of parents in selecting books for their children.  Current research that considers parents’ background as one of the literacy resources remains rare. This narrative inquiry explores Indonesian parents’ consideration in selecting children’s books as a means of constructing moral identity. Parents of a second-grade elementary student in Yogyakarta were the participants in this research. A semi-structured online interview sparked a discussion on what factors they consider when choosing children's books and why. The responses of parents revealed some key concerns about book choices: their experience, child’s contextual needs, and child’s interests. Furthermore, it is found that Indonesian children’s books tend to have moral fallacies that did not fit well with parents’ moral identity. As a result, parents’ book selection for the child was more into foreign publishers because they had more precise Islamic moral value representation.
