Abstract

The fact that any language has its set of varieties serves to emphasisethat it is important to have the right attitude and possess sufficientknowledge of the language to function in a multilingual society.Living in such a society, Indonesians must realize that an awarenessneeds to be created amongst EFL learners in the country aboutpossessing the right attitude and knowledge of English, and this canonly be done through the education system. This paper explores theconcept of language awareness and links this specifically to methods ofdeveloping EFL awareness among multilingual students at theAhmad Dahlan University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The study isgrounded in Hawkins’ and Fairclough’s concepts of Critical LanguageAwareness, and its development and application by other experts.These basic concepts are employed to understand the significance oflanguage awareness and the implications on EFL teachingmethodology. The study reveals that Language Awarenessundoubtedly has great significance for both EFL teachers andstudents. This paper proposes some ways to enhance students’language awareness that could be applied in multilingual EFL classes.

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 concerns with a systemic stylistic analysis on a poem in terms of Systemic Functional Linguistics and Verbal Art Semiotics. The writing uses library research, qualitative data, documentary study, descriptive method and intrinsic-objective approach. The semantic analysis results in both automatized and foregrounded meanings. Then the automatized meaning produces lexical cohesion and in turn, it produces subject matter. Meanwhile, the foregrounded meaning produces the literary meaning and in turn, it creates theme. Finally, the analysis indicates that the subject matter is about the singing bird, the literary meaning is about temporal change and the theme is about natural law.

Abstract

Listening occupies a central place in communication in everyday situations as well as business settings. We spend more time listening than we spend speaking, reading and writing. Most of our knowledge of the world derives from listening input. In spite of the centrality of listening, it has received an unfair treatment in second and foreign language classrooms. On the other hand, reading and writing have received a favorable treatment. The present paper discusses why it is imperative to develop listening skills in our learners. Elaborating on the ingredients of effective listening and causes and consequences of poor listening, the paper suggests some remedial measures and exercises to improve the listening skills of learners of English as a second and foreign language.

Abstract

This paper investigates the translation of jokes from English into Indonesian in a book entitled “Bila Dokter, Petani dan Manager Tertawa” (BDPMT). The main objective is to identify and describe: 1) the strategies of translation, 2) the accuracy of the translation and 3) the humorousness of the translation. The investigation on the translation strategies of all data (55 jokes) identifies ten strategies namely addition of meaning, reduction of meaning, change of sentence structure, shift of focus, change of word’s connotative value, transference (borrowing), compensation of phonetic features, use of common TL equivalence, deviation of meaning and literal translation. Those strategies result in accurate (13%), fairly accurate (34%), less accurate (29%) and non-accurate (23%) translations. Meanwhile, the investigation on readers’ responses indicates that 52 % data stay humorous, whereas the rest 48 % become not humorous after the process of translation. Further analysis reveals a strong connection between the translation strategies, the accuracy of meaning and the humorousness of translation. The results of analysis show the significance of translation process which focuses on the equivalence of effects. This process should be started with an exploration to the humor ideas and their techniques of making, and ended with an evaluation to assure the accuracy of meaning.

Abstract

Learner autonomy has been defined as 'a capacity to control important aspects of one's learning'(Benson, 2013, p. 852). In the teaching of additional languages, learner autonomy dates back at least to the 1970s. For instance, Trim, who was a leader in the teaching of additional languages in Europe, stated that a goal of language education was to: make the process of language learning more democratic by providing the con- ceptual tools for the planning, construction and conduct of courses closely geared to the needs, motivations and characteristics of the learner and enabling him [sic] so far as possible to steer and control his own progress.

Abstract

Sastra wangi or fragrant literature is a call to the literary works composed by female writers. It explores about the life of female characters, and questions about the settled constellation between man and woman in life. The works reflect the woman worldview, especially Indonesian woman, about the realities in the society, particularly on the unfair patriarchal structure positioning the woman in a subordinate level, including in the issue of sexuality. By employing many vulgar words, the works are regarded as a way taken by the writers to protest the unfair world. This article tries to give a glance about the literary phenomenon in Indonesia by relying on the media sources as the first hand catching the actual things. It also sees the genre from some perspectives: feminism, capitalism, and the literary theory.
