Abstract

The study analyzes the discourse on terrorism in the Newsweek magazine and exposes how the notion of ideology and power contributes to the hegemonic representations of Muslims and Islam in the post 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centre (WTC). Two Newsweek articles appeared on the 24th September 2001 were selected. The study employed Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA); this is a five-stage analytical methodology that perceives language within a three-dimensional framework: text, discourse, and society. The representation of discourse on terrorism, as found in the analysis, supports a conception that media coverage is not merely the representation of facts but also that of ideas which has gone through various considerations incorporating the three key notions of text, discourse and society altogether. The elements within the textual level and discourse level were ideologically used to represent terrorism with regard to its actor, process, and goal, constituting a commonsense as to how it should be perceived. The study concluded that the representation of discourse on terrorism in Newsweek during the post 9/11 period was perceived from what Chomsky considers as the propagandistic approach.

Abstract

This study is aimed to investigate teachers’ opinion and their attitudes toward the integration of culture and English language education. More specifically, this study explores how and to what extent these opinions and attitudes are reflected in their classroom applications. Data were collected from 31 teachers of English Department at one of universities in Indonesia using questionnaire, interview, and observation. Findings revealed that teachers were willing to support the language and cultural objectives, but they had conflicts when having to prioritize language teaching or cultural teaching. Teachers informed that limited class time, curriculum requirements, lack of cultural issues in the textbooks, and their lack of cultural knowledge were the main constraints for the integration of cultural teaching into EFL. This study shows the importance of integrating culture & intercultural dimension into EFL instruction in order to help facilitate both language learning and effective communication.

Abstract

This article attempts to present an independent argument with regard to the importance of using local folklore in EFL. As it is clearly mentioned in the 2013 curriculum (K-13) and the following curriculum, National Curriculum, applying local wisdom is a cardinal aspect to be involved in the teaching-learning processes. Applying local wisdom is also believed to be one of strives to conserve and appreciate Indonesian cultural heritage and some cultural heritage that may not have been exposed before. Yet, it seems that using local folklore in EFL still lacks serious attention. In general, providing folklore is not only beneficial to keep the cultural heritage but also advantageous to, among others, help EFL students study English, help them gain cultural acquisition, and provide them with positive values for their character building. In short, engaging local contents has been officially stated in the K-13 and National Curriculum; however, its implementation is likely to be unpopular.

Abstract

This article presents critical review of three empirical studies on the use of drama in language learning. Results of those studies are very supportive to integrate drama into EFL. Also, the results of the studies are in agreement with the ideas stating that drama can give positive contributions to students’ language proficiency. In fact, apart from improving students’ language skills, drama can promote collaboration and negotiation. Given the advantages of using drama in the EFL classroom shown by those studies, there is little information concerning the use of drama in the Indonesian EFL.
