Abstract

Several classroom cases showed failure or frustration in achieving learning outcomes even if the language teachers have done their best to facilitate and evaluate learning experiences of students. It is the intention of the reviewer/researcher to analyze the book of Armstrong and assess possible insights and practices beneficial to language teachers and other educators in their quest for quality instruction. This paper reflects a lot of classroom realities, challenges, and transitions in relation to how MI approach and instructional strategies should be implemented in the language settings. Other specialties in the classroom may attempt to blend MI approach with other perspectives and practices which could enhance teaching-learning aspects or domains. If all educational centers and institutions will adopt multiple intelligences theory, learners could get the chance to explore their potentials and develop their work skills.

After elaborating the prototypical meaning of the lexeme hot, this paper elaborates the extended senses of the lexeme and the motivation grounding the various types of these senses. Finally, it analyses the relation of the literal and the extended senses of the word by drawing the semantic networks. This research elaborates 10 extended senses of the word hot found in the corpus. The prototypical meaning of the word indicates a very high degree of temperature. It is a scale used to describe high degree of temperature.

Abstract

Papua is rich with cultural heritages: hundreds of vernacular languages, tribes, folklores and other unique traditions. Unfortunately, these heritages are not recognized by the young generation anymore. Modernization, technology, and new comers are assumed as the background. As the capital of the province, Jayapura is the most influenced place for the changes. As an attempt to re-introduce and preserve the ancestors cultural heritages, cultural infusion in learning English (as one type of learning) is regarded important. From seven tribes living in Jayapura, as the first step, Sentani is chosen as the priority. This paper discusses English learning materials by infusing Sentani culture. Folktales are chosen as learning materials for Elementary School students, malo[1] for Junior High School students, the procedure to make kayi/ifa[2] for Senior High Schoo students. This infusion hopes that young generation is able to learn English as well as to acknowledge one of the cultural heritages of Papua. They can be strongly rooted in their culture and respect others culture.
