Abstract

The study of literature provides a civilizing effect on a society anywhere around the world. Through these English kinds of literature, there are aspects of English culture encapsulated in it. This could potentially help students to develop as global citizens, which understand not only the feelings, settings, culture and even thoughts conveyed through the literature but being able to apply it to the real world, as a global citizen. If young students are not able to get such valuable exposure in schools, where are they supposed to receive such valuable input? Through this study, it is aimed to provide an overview of how foreign literature English novels chosen by the Ministry of Education has expanded the students' perspective as a global citizen. This paper aimed to reveal the challenges faced by teachers in using these texts in completing the objectives of producing students as global citizens.

Abstract

Writing has always been beneficial for those who master it. Albeit its virtues, it is subject to investigation due to issues concerning its derisory tasks, its complexity, and its arid learning activities. Based upon the issues, this study is aimed at portraying how English teachers teach students writing recount texts by integrating Padlet into their classroom. Involving one English teacher and a class of 25 students, this study obtained the data through observation of four class meetings. The data were then analyzed qualitatively to depict thoroughly the teaching practice of the teacher as Padlet was deployed in the classroom. The analysis resulted in findings vis-à-vis the integration of Padlet and the teacher’s ways of integrating Padlet, that the integration of technology is categorized into some levels. The findings to some extent conform to previous studies that the integration of technology has been prevalent among English teaching in general. It is therefore suggested that teachers maintain the integration of technology while keep on fostering the accompanying capability of integrating it. Keywords: writing; recount texts; Padlet; technology integration; digital teaching media.

Abstract

This study investigated English-learning strategies applied by an indigenous student in Amnat Charoen Province, in the Northeast of Thailand. Despite the lack of English exposure in the area, the participant, who was an English learner at a private primary school in Amnat Charoen Province, Thailand, had an excellent English ability. The data collection and analysis were done qualitatively through interviews and observations. Based on the interviews and observations, the participant was reported using both direct and indirect strategies in learning English. The dominant direct learning strategies were memory strategies and compensation strategies. The participant developed habits to summarize learning materials and use gestures to assist the speaking practice. Also, in the frame of indirect strategies, the participant applied social strategies more frequently than other indirect learning strategies. The social strategies were obviously noticeable in the consistency to practice English by interacting with foreign teachers. Further, the social learning strategies were also believed to be the most essential learning strategies developed by the participant.Keywords: learning strategies; direct strategies; indirect strategies

Abstract

This article, based on the transitivity system in a systemic functional linguistic study, is focused on the participants of material processes in grammatical metaphors involving the verbs Make and Take. The objective of this study is to analyze how the participants play a significant role in determining the processes of grammatical metaphors in the clauses. The data were taken from the Corpus of Contemporary American English from 2015 to 2017. The qualitative method was employed since the data were in the form of words rather than numbers. The result of this research showed that the participants of material processes are actors and scopes rather than actors and goals as they commonly occur in material processes. Scopes are represented in the clause since the processes of doing are expressed only by the participants. However, in the congruent forms, the participants of material processes are actors and goals since their participants are expressed as ‘things’ rather than expressing the process of doing as they occur in the non-congruent forms termed as grammatical metaphors.Keywords: grammatical metaphor; congruent; non-congruent; material processes; participant; goal; scope.

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study investigates translation equivalent of Balinese cultural terms into English. It is based on the understanding that cultural terms belong to salient part in dealing with translation due to the cultural gap between source and target languages. Therefore, this study is conducted in order to find out the degree of equivalence between Balinese cultural terms and their translations into English in the book entitled Memahami Roh Bali ‘Desa Adat sebagai Ikon Tri Hita Karana’ and its translation in Discovering the Spirit of Bali ‘Customary Village as Icon of Tri Hita Karana’. In finding the degree of equivalence, componential analysis especially the binary features was applied in terms of confirming the semantic features. The result showed that all translated cultural terms have no exact synonymy into source language. Some semantic features do not occur in target language as a result of lack terms in target language. The translator tends to replace cultural terms in source language into appropriate terms in target language based on his knowledge and experiences even in some cases, it shows the loss and gain information. However, overall, those translated cultural terms still can share some basic semantic features of the source language.Keywords: cultural term; semantic features; equivalence.

Abstract

The aims of the study are threefold. The first is to investigate the reading attitudes toward first language (L1) and second language (L2) in an English as a foreign language (EFL) context. The second aim is to find out the correlation between both variables. The last objective of the study is to find out the contribution of L2 reading attitude toward reading achievement. This study involved two sets of questionnaires adapted from Yamashita (2004) and Mikami (2016) and 177 freshmen, sophomore and junior English language education department students. The data revealed that means of reading attitude toward L1 and L2 are not significantly different with 2.60 and 2.65 respectively, and that reading attitude in L1 is strongly correlated with reading attitude in L2 (r = 0.637). An interesting finding of the present study pointed out that although students have positive attitude in L2, it does not automatically motivate them to spend their time reading. External factors such as teachers and specific reading programs both in L1 and L2 seem to play bigger roles in shaping students’ reading attitudes. Pedagogical implications are also discussedKeywords: Reading attitude in L1; reading attitude in L2; reading habit; external factors.

Abstract

The classroom is a place where the teacher, as an expert and the knower, teaches students through interactions influenced by several sociocultural backgrounds. Moreover, the teacher plays a role in mediating language learning processes by providing effective mediation. In brief, mediation can be defined as all objects delivered by the teacher to mediate the students to bring their current ability to the targeted performance. This current research serves to describe the features of mediation applied by English teacher in one lower secondary school in the EFL classroom context. This qualitative-based inquiry applied classroom observation and interviews as instruments to explore how the teacher mediated language learning in the classroom particularly for beginner-level students in one private school in Jakarta. The findings showed that the features of shared intention are the most salient to be mediated. This indicates that the teacher is very concerned with helping and facilitating the students to perform tasks. In addition, in mediating values, challenges, change and competence, the teacher creates engaging classroom discourses, selects particular tasks, and nurtures a positive classroom climate. Moreover, the teacher sets herself as a mediator as well as mediation as an ideal form of behavior and language model in the class.Keywords: English; foreign language; mediation; sociocultural view.
