Abstract

This paper is aimed at analyzing the apology of the then regent of Garut regency, Aceng, in relation to his brief marital case from interdisciplinary critical discourse analysis (CDA). These cover Speech acts, Narra-tive analysis, sociolinguistic considerations, ideologies and hegemonies. All of them are presented succes-sively to support one another to reach a comprehensive perspective on Aceng‟s phenomenal case. Based on the analysis, it is found that Aceng‟s apology is not effective, it is contra productive. In terms of sociolin-guistic considerations, Aceng‟s apology is against the common shared norms as it is not coming from his heart (insincerity). In terms of ideology, it is clear that marriage was considered to be a sacred thing to do and therefore should be kept (ignored by Aceng), whereas divorcing is hardly acceptable in whatsoever rea-sons. In terms of hegemonies, it is also clear that the powerful dominates the weak, implying that Aceng‟s power was wrongly exercised. Keywords: Apology, Interdisciplinary Discourse Analysis

Abstract

The idea of removing English for elementary school in 2013 curriculum has shocked the Indonesian education practitioners. So far, English has been considered as a favorite and prestigious subject for some modern elementary schools. English lessons is claimed to be important and is still needed by the young learn-ers. Given the context of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teaching English in Indonesia, of course, may not equate with the teaching of English in Singapore where English is in the context of ESL (English as a Second Language). As the right method and strategy may be given to the learners, the development of lan-guage skills for children aged 6-12 years-old will not be disturbed. Then if the mother tongue, that is Bahasa Indonesia, would not be a mess if at the same time the students need to learn a foreign language. In the end, learning English will not lose identity or sense of nationalism of the students. Keywords: Young learners, English, 2013 Curriculum

Abstract

This paper discusses about how language potrays the phenomenon of woman bandits and man bandit and their position in the news texts, which are reported by Suara Merdeka – a local newspaper whose target readers mostly reside in Central Java. Several texts were selected for the data and stylistic analysis was conducted to determine the position of the women in the action they did, which in turn show us the ideology of the journalists.Suara Merdeka is selected the source of data because this newspaper is targeted to readers residing mostly in the Javanese society, a society which a patrilineal system. In this society, crimes with women as the victims occur almost everyday, and the society sees them as something common. However, the society will react differently when a crime happens with a woman as the actor. This can be seen through the language exploitation performed by journalist in reporting the events on newspapers.

Abstract

Literary work is fine work of art that can be easily understood by most of the people. One of the most popular works is novel. A good novel will be able to entertain the reader in such way that makes the reader keep on turning the pages. Novel is very interesting to analyze since there are no absolute rightness in exploring the meaning and message of the story. Theme is the central idea that is served implicitly in the story through the other elements such as character, plot, setting, point of view, language and style, lastly irony and symbol. Understanding the theme will make reading more joyful. The challenge in finding the theme of a novel is one point that makes the analysis of intrinsic element very interesting.

Abstract

The development of critical thinking (CT) skills has become a key goal for educators in first and second language contexts. There is evidence that the use of such activities has still not become widespread in a number of ELT situations. One reason for this may be lack of awareness about how levels of thinking can be conceptualized in ELT activities. It is argued that learners studying English for general purposes (EGP) have a particular need for activities which are not only linguistically manageable but also cognitively challenging. This paper reports on a program designed by the author at a university in Iran, which used taxonomy of CT skills drawn up by Facione (1990) to probe the effect of critical thinking strategies training on reading comprehension of Iranian EFL students. In so doing, 240 male and female Iranian EFL students were selected and screened into two proficiency levels based on the TOEFL tests. Each proficiency group was divided into critical and non-critical group. The results suggested CT skills significantly affected EFL learners’ reading comprehension performance. However, the effect of critical thinking strategy training didn’t vary across different language proficiency levels. Overall, the findings provide empirical support for the facilitative effect of critical thinking strategy training on reading comprehension performance of EFL learners.

Abstract

Plot, the ―sequence of interrelated events‖ (Foster in Pickering and Hoeper 1981:14), is a building element of literary works. This literary element assists in text reading and interpretation processes because the element shows the sequences of interrelated events that help in understanding text development. In the processes of text reading and text interpretation, plot is commonly analyzed literarily with the specific concern only to the elemental sequences of a plot. The concern to the sequences makes the plot analysis as the description of a certain construction, a text structure. Actually, plot analysis could also be conducted linguistically by analyzing certain linguistic elements and the contribution of these linguistic elements to plot description, as discussed in stylistics.The appearances of the stylistic and structural methods require two analysis types: the linguistic and the literary analyses. The stylistic method covers the linguistic analyses of the lexical items and their semantic sense relations, and the structural method covers a literary discussion on the plot sequences of the three texts. The linguistic based and literary based analyses are interrelated each other by the description of the semantic sense relations of the chosen lexical items in order to describe the sequencing of the texts‘ plot.Based on the analysis, the three Doyle‘s detective short stories are built from similar plot sequences. Each sequence is also composed from some other similar features which are arranged in a similar chronology. In summary, three plot sequences –exposition, action and climax— are built from two main features, and the other two plot sequences –resolution and conclusion— are developed by three composing features. Exposition consists of the narrative of a pre undisturbed situation and the narrative of the crime. Action consists of the deducting efforts prior to the crime scene investigation and the described actions taken during the crime scene investigation. Climax is the revelation of the tools used in the murders and the murderers themselves. Resolution shows the crime solving by mentioning the relationship of the information in the introduction, particularly the second part, and the actions taken in the Action. Conclusion ends the stories by stating punishment for the guilty murderers, the reward for the victims or the falsely accused participants and the common conclusion for public consumption. Among the five, a close similarity is seen in three plot sequences: exposition, action and resolution. Their relation is proven by the similar lexical items used in the features of the three plot sequences. The similarity causes a linkage of logics of a detective story.

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
