Abstract

In translation, an equivalent communicative effect will be more difficult to attain, as the cultural distance between the receivers of the source and target text is greater. This may lead into what is termed as a problem of untranslatability. Cultural distance between the receivers of the source and the target text can cause some problems in translating. Sometimes is necessary to omit some features having a little or no textual relevance in a given source text. It means sacrificing less relevant textual details and maintaining more relevant ones to attain a maximum equivalent communicative effect. The paper discusses some issues related to the problems in translation, especially the phenomena that appear in the German translation from Indonesian and English expressions. Keywords: problem in translation, Indonesian translation, German translation

Abstract

This paper examines the important role of the school environments to facilitate English program in Indonesian primary schools. The school environment here refers to the environment inside the school: principal, teachers, and foreign language (FL) classroom; and outside the school: the students’ parents and the school community. Researchers have investigated teaching English as foreign language (TEFL) in primary schools from different perspectives, such as curriculum, teacher’s role, and materials; however, little attention is paid to examine school environment as an important factor to improve the quality of TEFL in Indonesia. The data is taken from the results of my Masters study investigating the implementation of Indonesian language as LOTE program in Kingsbury Primary School (KPS), Bundoora, Melbourne, Australia. Interviews, questionnaires, and observations were employed to obtain the answers as to why Indonesian language was selected as the LOTE program in KPS. The study found several factors supporting the program, and one of the findings relevant to this present investigation was the positive attitude given by the environments. The main reason why Indonesian language was taken as the LOTE program was because there were many Indonesian people who lived around the school and frequently involved in the school activities. This was believed by the school council as important linguistic evidence to establish the program. All the members of the school environment were very supportive. The non-LOTE teachers, for example, occasionally attended the course and watched their children learning Indonesian language. The purpose of doing that, according to the non-LOTE teachers, was to motivate their children to learn it seriously as the children also saw their teachers came and learnt it. The LOTE program was also made possible by the availability of a representative classroom which was fairly large for doing class activities. This classroom was designed especially for the LOTE program and it was completed with printed materials such as books, comics, posters, short stories, and audio visual aids to show the Indonesian family, life and culture. The principal, the LOTE teacher, and LOTE coordinator claimed that having such particular classroom was significant to build the students’ motivation to practice the target language when coming into the LOTE classroom because they were immersed with the atmosphere inside the room in which they could read anything written in Indonesian language. Keywords: language, literature, pedagogical approaches, non-native learners.

Abstract

This article projects the syntactical aspects of world leaders' quotes via the X-bar theory. The reason why portraying the quotes utilizing the X-bar is due to the distinctiveness of the sentence patterns of the quotes themselves. By distinctiveness, world leaders tend to use simple sentence pattern in their creating their quotes and due to this simplicity the quote has endless impact and becomes easily chanted and widely known. For instance, the quote 'I have a dream' is very familiar to everyone's ears for partly it uses DP-VP-NP in the X-bar theory. This typicality is exposed through the primary research problems: what are the typical Dstructure configurations of the world leaders' quotes and how are the configurations transformed into their S-structures? Thus, this article focuses on discovering the underlying representations of the quotes of world leaders via the generative and transformational processes. The identified quotes are the internet-based data selected purposively. The article utilizes a descriptive and explanatory analysis. Keywords: D-structure, S-structure, world leaders’ quotes

Abstract

This paper is based on the phenomenon of dancer or tayub which is celebrated as a very popular cultural artifact in public life, particularly in Java. This tradition is originally part of a sacred ritual, which ultimately became a performing art, but tends to be viewed negatively. In a historical context, the dancer was originally seen based on cultural concept and evolves into culturally sacred profane. Negative reception of ronggeng is not only uttered orally but also embodied in the written tradition. It is found in the genre of literary fiction such as in Tayuban’s Notosusanto Nugroho (1959), Sri Sumarah and Bawuk by Umar Kayam (1975), Trilogy Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk written Ahmad Tohari (1982), and Ronggeng works Dewi Lingga Sari (2007). The results of this study illustrate that the figure of dancer who is represented in Indonesian fiction are various. Although there are similarities, but the authors tend to have different reception levels regarding ronggeng. Ronggeng as cultural artifacts is the manifestation of the ability of local communities to respond and adapt to the environment actively. Similarly, what is represented in fiction about ronggeng is a mirror of the society where the work was born. Keywords: prose fiction, reception, representation, ronggeng, tayub

Abstract

Thailand has undergone continuing changes which affect all areas of education, including ESP education. To cope with all the changes including AEC in 2015, the ESP curriculum needs to be redesigned. This study was therefore to explore the perceptions and attitudes towards the redesigned English Business Communication. This study was based on triangulation. The instruments included an interview and a questionnaire. The subjects were 5 key informants whose main areas of expertise were ESP education, 70 graduates and students of English for Business Communication and 10 entrepreneurs. The informants were interviewed to elicit data for SWOT analysis while the graduates, the students and the entrepreneurs were surveyed through a questionnaire to elicit the data on the curriculum based on competency-based and holistic language learning. The SWOT analysis indicated that the redesigned curriculum should direct towards competence regarding to a combination of contents, skills and professional attitudes needed for effective communication and performance, a preparation for increased competition and changes, a response to internationalization, a shift from generalization to adaptive specialization, and sustainable quality orientation. The survey revealed that the respondents agreed that the curriculum could help prepare for AEC. The implication indicated that the ESP curriculum for changes should direct towards competency and the findings of this study will help facilitate further understanding and implementation of ESP in higher education. Future study should inquire the efficiency of this innovation. Keywords: ESP education, AEC of 2015, curriculum, competition, communication.

Abstract

While literature-based instruction has been highly praised for its pedagogical benefits, it on fronts entrenched learning hindrances, both linguistic and cultural in EFL settings. Whether the literature instruction in practice is motivating or demotivating is an issue worthy of concern. In this article the writer surveys attitudes to the integration of language and literature teaching, noting the reservations that have been expressed about it in the past, and which still continue to linger in some quarters..This paper interrogates the role of literature in the language classroom, communicative approaches and emphasis on practical functions of English language. During the 1980`s there was a comeback of interest in literature and language teaching. Linguistics and other contributors suggested that literature should be involved in classes of English for non-native learners but in another pedagogical approach…”the teaching of literature is an arid business unless there is a response, and even negative responses can create an interesting classroom situation”(Long, 1987). The revival of literature is characterized as “literature wearing different clothing.” What kind of literature to use? Texts should be chosen according to students' needs, interests, cultural background, and language level. Selected books must be relevant to the life experiences, emotions, or dreams of learners. This paper suggests choosing a work that is not much above the student's reading proficiency." Interest, appeal, and relevance are all more important." Keywords: language, literature, pedagogical approaches, non-native learners.
