Abstract

ABSTRACT: This research aimed to find out: (1) interference forms of Indonesian grammar towards the students’s spoken and written English competence; and (2) grammatical factors influencing grammatical Indonesian interference towards the students’s spoken and written English competence. The research method used was “metode simak dan catat” or observation and note taking mathod. This method was applied by notifying any expressions being interferenced from any academic activities. Therefore, the data were collected from students’ academic activities such as writing practices, reports, structured academic assignments, and also from discussion, seminars, and presentations. After the data had been collected and analyzed, they went into two main classifications. Those were sentencial interference (63.16%) and phrasal interference (36.84%). Further analyses showed that sentencial interfernce came into several sub-classifications such as the following: (1) sentence pattern S +  Very + Verb + Object, 31.21%; (2) sentence pattern of  Noun + Adjective, 12.2%; (3) sentence pattern of unapppropriate form, 6.57%; (4) sentence pattern of unintended or “ketidaksengajaan”, 5.3%; (5) impersonal it sentence pattern, 3.94%; and (6) active-passive sentence pattern, 3.94%. Meanwhile, phrasal interference came with 36.84% data and was classified into the following: (1) unorderly arrangement, 11.84%; (2) adverb formation, 5.3%; (3) inappropriate number, 9.2%; and (4) miscellaneous, 5%. Furthermore, the grammatical factor which influenced the Indonesian interference towards the English learning, both spoken and written, was the fact that the English language learners had little imposure and practice which made them difficult to internalize English linguistic knowledge they learned. KEY WODS: Sentencial interference, phrasal interference, linguistic environtment, grammatical patterns, acceptable patterns,”bahasa” Indonesia, and English language.About the Author: Pudiyono, M.Hum. is a Lecturer at the Department of English Education, Faculty of Education and Teacher Training UMP (Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto), Jalan Raya Dukuhwaluh, Purwokerto, Central Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: During the two recent decades, the world has witnessed that regional conflicts are increasing because of the type of relationships among civilizations. Most of these conflicts have been resulted from political, social, and economical relations among Muslim countries and Western countries at the Middle East. In such a situation, for reducing millions of people’s sufferings, educational systems and especially higher education system surely play a vital role. Higher education system, through developing humanities-related disciplines, could increase levels of common understanding among intellectuals of the involved societies. On this score, comparative education has the power to encourage hearing other cultures out and international mutual understanding among people round the globe through educational system. Unfortunately, comparative education as a university discipline has not developed considerably at higher education systems in the Middle East countries. The present paper, first, tries to briefly explore the present situation of comparative education science in the region and, then, through comparing educational viewpoints of three Muslim pedagogues: Al-Farabi, Avicenna, and Al-Ghazali; and three famous educators of the West world: John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and John Dewey, demonstrate the possibilities of developing comparative education science as a university discipline in the Middle East. The comparisons between Muslim educators and their counterparts in the West, however, made in this paper have bilateral benefits.KEY WORDS: Comparative education, educational perspective, Muslim, Middle East, pedagogues, Western, higher education system, and understanding.    About the Authors: Dr. Abbas Madandar Arani is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Education LU (Lorestan University) in Iran; Mrs. Lida Kakia is a Ph.D. Student in Comparative Education at SU (Sofia University) in Bulgaria and at present works as a Teacher Counselor at different schools in Tehran, Iran; and Mrs. Batol Moazani is M.A. (Master of Arts) in Islam History and at present works as a Teacher at different schools in Tehran, Iran.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This research examined risk taking with the main focus being negative risk taking and the main target adolescent females in a Senior Secondary School setting in Tasmania, Australia, using three varied methodologies and perspectives for the data collection. The first, and major method, used a questionnaire distributed to a year 11 group of females, aged sixteen to nineteen, who were just beginning their first year of non-compulsory, post secondary education. This questionnaire had the main focus of discovering their risk taking perceptions and participation rates regarding four main areas of negative risk taking, namely alcohol, and drug use and abuse, sexual activity, and the viewing of X-Rated (pornographic) videos. The socio-demographic information concentrated on the females’ sense of self, their personal goals, and positive and negative risk taking activities within the context of social capital, psychological, social, educational, risk taking, and health background theory and in the three domains of family, school, and community. To provide a wider perspective on the topic of risk taking, interviews were also conducted with those professionals and carers of adolescent children, namely School Administrators, Teachers, and Parents to provide information from the reality of adolescents’ lives. The third source of data involved a review of the Australian and State Policies impinging on aspects of the curricula suitable for these adolescents. The major findings from the questionnaire emphasised that the females’ sense of self, parental influence and, to a lesser extent, religious values will decrease negative risk taking.
