Abstract

The role of teachers in EFL/ESL classroom is very important for the improvement of the students since it is believed that professional and creative English teachers can help students in learning English well. However, many teachers still lack the effort in finding new ideas and in improving their professionalism as a good English teacher. Yet, with the development of technology nowadays, many media are worth to be considered in teaching English. One of the media that is being actively mentioned in educational world nowadays is short film. In this case, short film is believed to be one of the appropriate ways in teaching English especially in teaching the character education presented in it. With short film, students can have more exposure to authentic English and the culture of the target language. But another important benefit is often overlooked by teachers, that is the possibility of learning values for building the students’ characters through the use of short film in the learning process. This present paper will try to respond to this fact by identifying the values of character educations in a short film entitled Piper from Pixar animation through textual analysis. There are character educations that revealed about parenting, self-supporting, and friendship value in the film. Thus, it can be concluded that when chosen correctly, short films can be a media for building students’ characters while developing their English, all in a more entertaining, relaxed, and enjoyable media that meet the students’ 21st century contexts.

Abstract

Even though codeswitching has become a natural phenomenon and occurred in regular basis during the teaching  and  learning  process  in  bilingual  classroom,  the  pedagogic  analysis  of  the  occurring  switches should  be  taken  into  account  to  figure  out  whether  the  switches  are  indeed  a  pedagogic  tool  used  by bilingual  teachers  for  the  comprehension  and  achievement  of  the  lesson  content.  Therefore,  the objective  of  this  study  is  to  figure  out  the  functions  of  teachers’  code‐switching  during  classroom teaching  and  learning  process  in  Garuda  Bilingual  Kindergarten.  This  study  was  conducted  using  a descriptive  qualitative  design.  The  data  were  collected  through  classroom  observation  and  recordings. The  obtained  data  were  analyzed  based  on  the  coding  categories  of  pedagogic  function  theory.  The findings  indicate  that  the  functions  of  the  occurring  code‐switching  are:  1)  instructional  for  content acquisition,  2)  reformulation  of content,  3)  facilitation,  and  4)  habitual.  The  result  of  this  study  is expected  to  be  useful  especially  for  teachers  to  know  the  role  of  code‐switching  in  supporting  the emergent  bilinguals  during  classroom  teaching  and learning  process  as  well  as  to  help  teachers  plan  a more effective language strategy.

Abstract

There are two functions of language, namely commucative and expressive. As people listen to the music through its lyrics, language tends to be expressive since it is able to convey the meaning and background of the song. Figurative language is used to create a special effect ot the audiences. Figurative language carries non-literal meaning which helps the songwriters to convey the meaning of their songs.  Therefore, this study aimed at identifying and describing the type and the meanings of figurative language which were used in Eminem’s song lyrics and determining the dominant type of figurative language used in the songs lyrics. This research used descriptive qualitative as the method. In collecting the data, the researcher used library research (reading and noting), since the data were already existed in the form of documentation (song lyrics). After the data were collected, the data were analyzed by using Cresswell’s theory. From the analysis, the researcher found that there are 136 data containing figurative language and 12 types of figurative language which are used in the song lyrics. Simile type of figurative language is mostly used in the song lyrics. Therefore, it is suggested that the students keep learning to do figurative language analysis in literary works in order to enrich their insight about figure of speech.
