Abstract

This article aims at traversing historical traces, concepts, and characteristics of magical realism and how it is pertinent in literary analysis. The pivot of the conceptual framework of this article in on Faris’ perspective on magical realism. The approach of this study is grounded theory. The data are quotations taken from referential books and journals. The techniques of data collection are documentation and quoting. The technique of analysis is thematic interpretation. This article figures out that magical realism deconstructs the status of magical and the real into a somersaulting realm. Western historical narrative establishes the real through rationality and alienates the magical which is identical to the East, the Other, or the indigenous. This rational narrative is propagandized and turns to be power relation. Therefore, magical realism, through some literary works, deconstructs the rational perspective with logical-magical narrative as one of postcolonial studies.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate the Indonesian EFL Postgraduate students’ attitudes towards the course of translation. The researcher used a case study method by managing observation, interview, and questionnaire to collect the data. The questionnaire contained 30 items concerning students’ attitudes in terms of behavioral, cognitive, and emotional aspects. The participants in this present study were 11 students of the English Education Department of Postgraduate degree at a public university in Banten Province, Indonesia. The results indicate that the students hold positive attitudes toward the existence and the learning process of the translation course. These can be verified from the results of questionnaires which show that the average scores of positive attitudes for behavioral, cognitive, and emotional aspects consecutively are 74.3%, 80.6%, and 84.4%. These positive attitudes are not only affected by the lecturer-student interaction, but also by the cooperative learning atmosphere and experience that the lecturer and students manage while having a teaching and learning process of translation. Since attitudes can be modified by the experience, the effective translation teaching and learning process can encourage students to be more positive towards the translation course they are involved in.

Abstract

Shakespeare’s written words are not innocent. Many individual words from his dramatic texts can be “obscure or impenetrable”. They are not only meant to embellish the scene and the context, yet their elaboration is aimed to set up meaning and effect. In this part, we will analyze and look at how this utterance operates in characters’ dialogues. We will try to highlight Shakespeare conventionalized thank you, which can be not only a sign of gratitude but a complex emotion that adds to the dramatic situation. In the construction of Shakespeare's dialogues in the plays, many linguistic features are omnipresent and do serve a variety of functions. From a linguistic perspective, thanking is a conversational routine such as advising, requesting and complementing, yet in the use of thanking expressions, there is genuine artistry that Shakespeare wittingly invented. Some words carry risks when negotiating actions. We might think primarily of insults, criticisms and curses. These negative speech acts are not the only damaging and threatening in speech, there is also thanksgiving, which can be regarded as an element bearing risks. The present study focuses on the speech act of thanking in the Shakespearean corpus. The word "thanks" and the formula "I thank you" occurred more than four hundred times in the 37 plays of Shakespeare. Was "thanking" a sincere speech act that acted in the fictional setting of the play? What are the reasons that lead to "thanks" in 16th century Shakespeare? Did Shakespeare succeed to use “thanks” as a successful performative speech act that acts when it is said, or are "thanks" a simple language ornament? To answer these questions, we are going to select specific scenes from Shakespeare's All's Well that Ends Well and Romeo and Juliet examining how the speech act of thanking operates in the plays.

Abstract

As the world is rapidly chasing processes of modernisation and globalisation, many ethnic communities are perceiving global languages, such as English and Mandarin, as the language-in-demand for academic and economic purposes. This situation leads to young people shifting away from heritage languages, and as a result, heritage languages are disappearing at an alarming rate. Similar situation is taking place in Malaysia, which leads me to conduct a study examining the efforts to maintain Chinese heritage languages in Penang. Data are collected via interviews conducted with 46 participants representing three categories of macro, meso, and micro levels within the Chinese community in Penang. In this article, my goal is to share some lessons learnt from the fieldwork. Specifically, I focus on unpacking three approaches to building relationships with members of the Chinese community. They are holding small talks, being flexible to code-switching, and giving back to the community. Resulting from such relationships is that the Chinese community in Penang become more aware of heritage language maintenance.

Abstract

In Malaysia, graduate unemployability is a problem that is often highlighted. Studies have shown that graduates lack soft skills, such as problem solving, English language proficiency, and communication skills, which contribute to the issue of unemployability. However, these studies have not investigated employability skills from all three perspectives of students, lecturers, and employers to understand whether students are developing the necessary skills to be more employable, and whether lecturers are getting it right when preparing their students for the job market. Therefore, this study fills in the gap by comparing university students’ communication and employability skills from the perspectives of students, lecturers, and employers. The study aimed to determine students’ ratings of communicative ability and employability skills, and how these ratings match those of the lecturers and employers, and to compare the ranking of the importance of these skills by lecturers and employers. The questionnaire data were collected from 123 students, 26 lectures, and 26 employers in Sarawak, Malaysia. The findings showed that the students rated themselves more highly on reading and writing, and employability skills than on listening and speaking skills. The lecturers and employers ranked employability skills as more important than communication skills. They were consistent in the ranking of interpersonal skills and presentation skills as the top communication skills. The top employability skills were time management skills, leadership qualities, managing personnel, managing resources, teamwork spirit, planning, organising, controlling and evaluation skills, and problem-solving aptitude. However, lecturers prioritised teamwork spirit while employers prioritised problem-solving aptitude. However, none of the reading and writing skills were among the top 10 skills expected of graduates entering the workplace. In concluding the study, the overall findings indicated that the students and lecturers overrated the students’ readiness for the workplace.

Abstract

Agbè (a gourd) and kete (a calabash pot) are both utensils in the Yorùbá socio-cultural setting. They are also made musical instruments in orin agbè and orin kete. Because both objects are structurally and functionally interwoven, many people could not delineate their status. As a result, some even take them for one. This has resulted in cultural and literary misplacement of the priority of the objects. Sequel to the identified problem, this study attempts a critical cultural and literary analysis of agbè and kete in order to validate their socio-cultural and literary status. New historicism is used as the theoretical framework. The study adopts an ethnological research design. Yorùbá oral historical and literary materials are the base of the study’s critical analysis. Data were collected among the elders in Ìbàràpá and Òkè-Ògún, and some other parts of the Yorùbáland. It is revealed in the analysis that, agbè and kete’s uses to some extent are complementary. Thus, agbè is more useful than kete. Agbè is considered for keeping precious items, and as a musical instrument, it is having social status. Kete on the hand is also having a social status as it is both used as utensil and musical instrument. However, kete’s religious status is validated for its use in Ọbàtálá religious service. Using agbè to save precious items is not enough to consider it more important than kete as kete in the religious context of Ọbàtálá is also used for a significant religious function.
