Abstract

This study aims to explore the reception of Wuthering Heights in China by conducting comparative study on its three Chinese-translated versions, which were published in three periods, to examine how these versions have been translated, published, and disseminated. This study applies historical and archival research methods, close reading methods and comparative methods. The researchers collected the data from the original text of Wuthering Heights and its three Chinese-translated versions, relevant monographs, academic papers and information about the three versions. The academic papers were collected from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, the most authoritative database in China for scientific publications. The information of the three versions was obtained from the Chinese online Chaoxing database, which is the most extensive database that provides information on books based on big data. First, the researchers explored the translation journey of Wuthering Heights in China and the information of its three representative versions that appeared at different times. Second, the researchers investigated the publication route of the three versions, concentrating on the information of the publishing houses, the formats of the three versions and the reprint edition. Third, the researchers analyzed the dissemination of the three versions in the Chinese literary field, focusing on the library collections, citations and academic circle comments. This paper concludes that the translation and circulation process of the three versions promoted the dissemination of Wuthering Heights in China to a great extent. The reasons for the extensive dissemination of Wuthering Heights in China are its excellent charm, translators and scholars’ efforts and Chinese readers’ passion for it.

Abstract

Publishing research articles (RAs) in international journals (IJs) has been considered increasingly crucial by developing countries including Indonesia. For the Indonesian Government, publishing RAs in international journals is important to increase its competitive power academically as Indonesian universities are entering a global competition to attract students. Therefore, publishing RAs in international journals is becoming more and more important, e.g. for promotion, especially at senior levels. This study reports on the second and most widespread national-level survey of a three-year project funded by the former Indonesian Government through its Ministry of Research and Higher Education (MRHE). The central question is, "What are the key factors contributing to their lack of international research publications making the number low compared to smaller nations such as Thailand (before 2017)".This article reports the results of the second survey, with a much bigger population sample from many more universities located in many more different regions covering all the major islands in Indonesia compared to the first survey reported in our previous article. The bigger size of data is important based on the premise that the broader and the more diverse the information sources, the more comprehensive the information will be and the better understanding we gain. Some of the findings support the past results, but some contradict them.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the improvement of elementary students’ learning creativities during online learning through the application of the literacy learning model. Therefore, classroom action research (CAR) was applied in this study and practice, this study implemented two cycles in which one (1) cycle consisted of planning, action, observation and reflection. A test which consists of observing, asking, reasoning, trying and communicating elements was used to collect the data. As a result, this study indicates that there was a significant improvement in test results which only 47% of students passing in cycle one (1) and an increase to 94% in cycle two (2). Thus, the use of the literacy learning model is very much recommended to be implemented to enhance students' learning creativities during online learning.

Abstract

For most EFL students, writing in English is a boring and challenging skill; therefore, creative and attractive media such as bark painting is needed. Bark painting is one of the cultural heritages that has not been valued and recognized by Papuan young people as a culturally important medium. This study aimed at exploring the ways of engaging students to write procedure texts using bark painting and finding the importance of infusing bark painting in teaching procedure text.  This descriptive-qualitative study took place in Jayapura, Papua, Indonesia, between January and March 2021. There were students of the Social Science program, 5 Senior High School teachers, 3 tribal chiefs, 3 elders, 3 bark painters, and 2 cultural practitioners involved as the participants. The data were collected by using observation, interview, and FGD (Focus Group Discussion). From the data analysis, the study found that by engaging the students in learning writing procedure text using bark painting, they could effectively and enthusiastically learn the social functions, generic structure, and linguistic features of writing procedure text with a media which is culturally close to them, and they could learn and indirectly disseminate cultural heritage as well as learn the good character of the elders.

Abstract

English as the Medium of instruction (MOI) in Indonesia has experienced up and down periods, thus affecting the teachers’ use of code-switching and code-mixing strategies. This article reports on English teachers’ perceived usefulness of English as the Medium of Instruction (MOI) in classrooms. Participants of the study are English teachers from various school levels in one province in Eastern Indonesia. This exploratory case study used a self-assessment survey as the single instrument. As a result, teachers have a positive perception toward English as the Medium of Instruction (MOI) as they believe it could improve students’ proficiency. However, some are hesitant and would rather have classes taught in a blend of their native language and English. This study implies that teachers should consider elements of high-quality instructions. This study suggests developing an institutional ELT policy to infuse MOI into classroom pedagogy.

Abstract

This study investigated the appropriateness and patterns of sound stress on nouns ending in -ion produced by students of English education study program. The research is designed as a descriptive study. There are 40 English students from Universitas Bengkulu and Universitas Negeri Padang who were selected purposively out of 240 students as the research participants. The data was gathered by using a pronunciation test comprises of 40 nouns ending in -ion with the category of 2, 3, 4, and 5 or more syllables. The participants' utterances were recorded in an audio form, then the sound stress was analyzed using the Audacity application. Based on data analysis, it was discovered that: 1) only 34.44% of students produced the sound stress appropriately, while the rest (65.56) did not; and 2) the pattern of sound stress on noun ending in -ion pronounced by the students varied, with the no stress category dominating. It proves that the more syllables of nouns ending in -ion, the more difficult it is for the students to produce sound stress accurately. Finally, the English students are expected to raise their awareness of practicing sound stress, as it is important for the lecturers to provide more chances for the students in the learning activities.

Abstract

Arguably, second language acquisition has always been an interesting topic to discuss, proven by many existing theories that play an essential role and contribute to this field's advancement and proliferation. Among many are Processability Theory (PT), a prominent theory of L2 development and processing theory that predicts well-ordered, cross-linguistically valid stages in second language acquisition and provides language-specific predictions covering developmental and variational stages dimensions (Pienemann, 1998, 2005, 2015). It accounts for explicit prediction of the language elements in which L2 learners learn to process different morphological and syntactical structures productively regardless of their backgrounds.

Abstract

Blogs can be deemed as an alternative digital media which have been strategically employed for business communication. One of the realizations is product blogs. As startups, which are identically linked to digital media, have been skyrocketing in number, product blogs play an integral role to accommodate their business communication. In writing an article for the product blogs, startups often open an internship vacancy for, among others, polytechnic students majoring English for business communication. However, generic structure of a product blog article is quite different from academic essays. There is a need to equip the students with adequate product blog article writing skills before they embark on internship. This study aims at empirically delving into generic structure of successful Indonesian startups’ product blogs. To achieve the aim, this research employed corpus-based research methodology. There were 33.430 tokens of product blogs from two unicorn startups. The framework for analysis was adapted from Askehave and Nielsen (2005). The findings show that there were three moves in the corpus, namely contextualizing product, detailing product, and soliciting response. Each move consisted of steps which were categorized into reading mode and navigating mode. The findings lead to pedagogical implications—inculcating the moves to polytechnic students majoring English for business communication—as an attempt to link and match between vocational pedagogy and industry requirements.
