Abstract

The concern of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of writing reflective journals right after having an English class on students vocabulary mastery. A reflective journal is a tool that allows students to reflect on and write about progress in their learning. They can identify and reflect on their successes and challenges. Teachers can gain information on what the students thinks and feel not in a threatening way. This study is conducted through a quasi experimental study which aims to determine whether writing reflective journals can improve students vocabulary mastery. A total of 50 students (two classes having the same ability) from the second grade of one Senior High School in Brebes, Central Java, participated in this study. The participants are divided into two groups ( an experimental group and a control group) based on a purposive sampling. The two groups will be given two tests ( a Pretest and a post Test). The result of the study and hypothesis testing concluded that there are significant differences in vocabulary mastery of students asked to compose a reflective journal every after finishing English class with students that are not asked to do so. In other words, Increasing the ability to master vocabularies of the experimental group is better than the control one.

Abstract

Nowadays translators are challenged not only to be able conveying the message from source language (SL) totarget language (TL) but also they are demanded to bridge cultural differences through language. That is why translator needs to choose the best diction in order to maintain meaning and expression from SL to TL without forgetting the aesthetic. Losing the meaning of word due to the translators lack ability might give bad impression. In Asian context, English is a foreign language, so translating English to TL is totally difficult. Using song lyrics as one of translating strategy, especially to deal with figurative language could be one of the alternative way in maintaining the meaning and expression in translation. Students face song lyrics in their daily life so they are learning while having fun.This study is about using song lyrics to help students understanding in translating figurative language from SL to TL, and to help them grasp the meaning from figurative language with their own cultural background. Using song lyrics for translating figurative language as the base reference also help them to be more sensitive about the meaning and improve their analysing skill because figurative language consists of many types of word which their meanings are different with the literal interpretation. Moreover, translating in the 21st century needs great innovation to face the challenges in learning English as a foreign language.

Abstract

The disruption technology impacts industrious educational setting empowering more skills than knowledge. The online learning is another thing to do by the institutional education while the content of the learning materials reflect the learners’ need.

Therefore teachers should use ICT as their tool to enhance their teaching and learning practices. This study concerns to develop 4.0 English curriculum by strengthening ESP using ICT in English classroom context.
