Abstract

Pers memiliki fungsi kontrol bagi pemerintah yang berkuasa. Fungsi ini merupakan peran esensial yang disandang oleh pers. Namun, tidak semua kondisi memungkinkan pers bisa menjalankan fungsinya tersebut. Ketika penguasa tidak lagi bisa menghormati keberadaan pers dan menganggapnya sebagai lawan, maka persn akan menjadi korban. Pers akan dikekang dalam menjalankan fungsinya. Fenomena semacam ini terjadi pada masa order baru.Studi ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana wujud ketertindasan pers, melalui kajian terhadap editorial yang disajikan. Dengan pendekatan tatabahasa sistemik fungsional, kajian ini akan membaca lebih dekat bagaiaman penilaian media terhadap pelaksanaan pemilihan umum pada masa orde baru, yakni pemilu tahun 1992. Media yang menjadi sumber data dalam penelitian ini adalah Jakarta Post.Berdasarkan analisis, terlihat dengan jelas bahwa media cenderung menilai positif terhadap perilaku pemerintah, dalam hal ini dari pemilu yang mereka laksanakan. Media mengatakan bahwa pemerintah sudah melakukan pemilihan umum yang adil dan pemerintah sudah berupaya keras agar pelaksanaan pemilu yang bisa lebih baik.

Abstract

Writing is a process that helps the students develop their ideas and logical thinking. Principally, to write means to try to produce a written message. Because of these facts, it is necessary for teachers and students to master it well as writing plays a very important role in many processes including teaching and learning proc-esses. However, in the real teaching and learning process, junior high students who have been accustomed to LKS (Student Worksheet) consider writing a boring activity. They have to just fill in the blanks, answer the ques-tions, and rearrange jumbled paragraphs in spite of writing their own ideas based on certain topics. This be-comes the drawbacks for them to get actively involved in writing activities. To overcome that, FRIEND standing for Fact, Reason, Point, Elaboration and Decision is considered help-ful to improve learners’ ability to develop an argumentative essay. FRIEND helps learners to write well-developed and properly organized essay since it provides systematic ways to do so. Besides, FRIEND actually gives learners an easy way to think, express, and organize their ideas into a good argumentative essay. . Keywords: FRIEND, argumentative essay

Abstract

The emergence of Machine Translation, known as MT has given a new hope to abridge the problems in translation. Ideally, it is designed to create a fully automatic high quality translation (FAHQT). People do hope that a bulk number of work deals with translating a text from source language to target language can be done easily and accurately. Further, it is believed that machine translation will be cheaper compared to ‘human translation’. The question is does this machine really translate a text well? Unfortunately, many facts show that machine translation produces an unsatisfying translation result. The main factor underlying this fact is that this machine failed to abridge linguistics complexity, which is characterized as context dependent, although it has been designed in such a way to overcome that linguistics complexity. Meanwhile, under the right circumstances, many believed that MT systems are a powerful tool. This paper focuses on the nature of machine translation and the possibility in empowering it. After recognizing the nature of machine translation, it is hoped that the users of the machine can take any appropriate actions to make the benefit of machine translation.

Abstract

Pre-college education is mainly designed for character building, while college education is for profession building. However, on tertiary education levels students are still required to take mandatory subjects called Mata Kuliah Dasar Umum or General Education courses, whose function is to provide students with general knowledge—as opposed to specific knowledge or specialization—that will be useful for their career in the future. Students and professors are great admirers and promoters of their major or field of study, say English, but blind admiration may lead to myopic and prejudiced attitude. General education is created to counter fragmentation and specialization, which characterize advanced science and technology. General education, deliberately designed to facilitate inter-department interaction, will promote knowledge democratization among students.Among the problems faced by college students is the school college transition, namely a mismatch between faculty expectation and academic preparation of entering students. In most cases, the entering students lack the strong foundation for academic writing. This is telling enough that our basic education has failed to pave the way, namely basic literacy, for professional development. Indonesian as a general education course has been in the college curriculum since independence presumably to fix the mismatch.My survey on general education courses, however, shows that Indonesian is perceived the least important among the general education subjects. In other words, the Indonesian course has been a waste of time and energy. It is not an exaggeration, then, to hypothesize that university graduates in general lack the ability to express their ideas in academic writing in Indonesian, let alone in English. Many proposal submitted by faculty members are turn down simply because they do not know how write a good proposal. Reading their fellowship proposals, we could easily tell that their proposals lack convincing arguments.

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

Since English is claimed as lingua franca among nations, interculturalcompetence (ICC, henceforth) becomes a new enterprise in EnglishLanguage Teaching (ELT). The teaching of English should putforward to capturing target culture, but unnecessarily neglect thelocal culture. It should embed not only the target culture, but alsoother non-native cultures of periphery nations. Responding to theemergence of non-native varieties of English and to the fact that peoplefrom non-native countries of English communicate in English,teaching-learning materials and activities should also cover the nonnativecultures of English. This paper attempts to offer an alternativemode to develop the learners’ ICC. The explicit comparisons, then,consequently comprise both cultures, i.e., learners’ cultures andcultures applied by other non-native speakers. Emphasizing ondeveloping learners’ ICC seems more promising than those ofdeveloping communicative competence (CC), though it is hard to putinto practice.
