Register Journal
The name of REGISTER JOURNAL was taken from the concept of REGISTER and it has clearly been described by Trudgill (1983:101) as follows:
Linguistic varieties that are linked ... to occupations, professions or topics have been termed registers. The register of law, for example, is different from the register of medicine, which in turn is different from the language of engineering---and so on. Registers are usually characterized solely by vocabulary differences; either by the use of particular words, or by the use of words in a particular sense. Registers are simply a rather special case of a particular kind of language being produced by the social situation.
Halliday, McIntosh and Strevens (1964) devote a long section to "REGISTER" in their 1964 work. They also refer to REGISTER as `distinguished by use.'

<![CDATA[Sentential implicature is something meant or implied that is proposed to avoid impoliteness in making harmonious conversation. For the sake of politeness it was postulated cooperative politeness and maxims; tact maxim, approbation maxim, generosity maxim, modesty maxim, agreement maxim and sympathy maxim. The measurement of politeness or impoliteness is also determined by the four factors; power, range, distance and familiarity. In “Laskar Pelangi” the movie, it was found some maxims with Indonesian cultural background for its politeness. Politeness was shown by addressing someone just by name or by saying “Mr.” and “Mrs”, according to the power and relationship, minimizing dispraise of others, and mentioning something or someone indirectly. ]]>

In the process, there is universal standard to follow: clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logic, and fairness. In language classes, critical thinking creates active classes. To bring critical thinking to classes, Bloom’s Taxonomy and critical thinking strategies can be working definition in order critical thinking to be applied to pedagogical materials in a practical way.

<![CDATA[When the system or structure of language is used and influenced by other languages, it is called interference, and it may ruin the concept of structures.  This research is about Arabic phrase construction that influenced Javanese phrase construction in classical books translation (TKK). This involvement appears when the concept of Arabicâs construction is translated literally into Javanese.  The research was carried out by applying theories of interference and translation. Itâs analysis approach with contrastive analysis which is allegedly enabled errors to be predicted from a comparison between Arabicâs and Javaneseâs phrase construction. The data were found and collected from several classical books in Arabic language (KKbA) translated by different writers. The results show that Javanese phrase construction (as the target language), particularly, with noun phrases, with adjectival phrases, with numeral phrases, and with prepositional phrases was influenced by Arabicâs murakkab or Arabic phrase construction (as the source language). Arabic has its own concept of phrase construction. The phrase construction cannot be translated into Javanese directly through word-for-word translation or literal translation. Thus, Javanese in TKK became inconvenient and ungrammatical. Arabic phrase construction is flipped around (with noun phrases and adjectival phrases) and prepositions are used and translated improperly or in the wrong position (with prepositional phrases). This research has many implications for further use, such as: for the identification and description of the deviation of Javanese phrase construction which has been affected by direct translation from the Arabic language, and furthermore, to increase the knowledge of those who are learning by increasing the realization and awareness in writing and translating (especially from Arabic to Javanese) about the fact that Arabic and Javanese have their own regulations or patterns which are different then the other language.  keywords;Influence; Literal Translation; Phrase Construction ; Murakkab]]>

<![CDATA[Community Language Learning (CLL) merupakan metode pengajaran bahasa yang melibatkan aspek psikologi dimana peserta didik ikut bekerja sama dalam mengembangkan keahlian berbahasa yang ingin mereka pelajari. Metode ini pertama kali dikembangkan oleh Charles A. Curran dan asosiasinya yang disebut teori Counseling-Learning. Ada pula yang menyebut bahwa metode ini merupakan pendekatan humanisme. Pengajarnya seolah-olah bertindak sebagai konselor dan peserta didiknya sebagai klien. Selanjutnya penulis juga menggunakan metode CLL untuk meningkatkan partisipasi mahasiswa dalam kelas Speaking di Program Khusus Kelas Internasional (KKI) IAIN Salatiga Tahun Akademik 2013/2014 angkatan 2013. Penelitian yang digunakan adalah Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) dimana penulis sebagai peneliti dan ditemani oleh satu orang sebagai pengamat. Untuk mengetahui peningkatan partisipasi mahasiswa di kelas tersebut, peneliti mengadakan pretes dan postes dalam 2 siklus. Masing-masing siklus berisi perencanaan, aksi, observasi dan refleksi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa mengalami peningkatan tidak hanya pada partisipasi percakapan bahasa Inggris mereka tetapi juga motivasi belajar mereka. Hal ini bisa dilihat dari peningkatan rata-rata nilai dari pretes ke postes baik di siklus 1 hingga di siklus 2.]]>

Then the result of this research is presented descriptively in order to reveal the students‘ perception comprehensively. The findings of this research show that most of the students give high appreciation with the presence of foreigner. In fact, the personality of the foreigner as a teacher is also very important to be highlighted since it gives significant influence on students‘ perception. The personality and skill in classroom management become reasons for the other students who do not like the foreigner. Then, the cross cultural understanding and the ability to communicate in English is the students‘ main difficulty that hinders their teaching and learning process.
