Abstract

Local language, which is maintained and respected by its speakers, is protected by the government as local language is a part of Indonesian culture stated in the national constitutions of UUD 1945, the TAP MPR No. II/MPR/1988, the National Language Politic and Policy of National Language, and constitution No. 24 dated in 2009 about languages. The Implementation of those regulations is written on Formal Education Curriculum that is in local content curriculum. One of the local content curriculum aspects is the lesson plan which consists of material component: texts or handouts, especially for primary school students. The opportunity for strengthening and developing the local language on Curriculum 2013 is integrated within the material of art and culture. Referring to the percentage of hours for learning local language in Art-Culture, it lack of time for local language materials. Consequently, the local language materials should be developed and strengthened, so the coming up generation of local language speakers will have optimal vocabulary for maintaining and developing mother tongue. This problem is discussed by applying Systemic-Functional Linguistics.

Abstract

This case study is about the teaching of writing in an Indonesian state primary school, that is, in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara Province. It aims at finding out: 1) how writing in Indonesian is taught in the research school; 2) how competent the students are in writing in Indonesian as the results of their teachers’ teaching of writing in Indonesian; 3) proper teaching teachniques done in order to better the athmosphere of the teaching and learning of writing in the research school. The method used was a case study with the school as a research object and the teachers teaching Indonesian writing in the school and their students from grade I to grade VI learning to write in Indonesian as reseach subjects. This study was done from July to November 2017. The data collected through interviews, observations, and documentary studies were analyzed descriptively. It was found that the teaching and learning of writing in the school was traditionally done, that is, it was not to improve students’ writing in Indonesian, but to improve other skills like reading, speaking, and listening. Despite such a traditional method in the teaching and learning of writing in Indonesian, it was found that the students could write generally well in Indonesian. The teachers in the school believe that they need to do some changes in order to ensure that their students can write well in Indonesian like: “joining more courses/trainings on the teaching and learning of writing for publication;” continuing their formal study/degree; providing more teaching facilities so that it is much easier for them to teach writing, to revise, to edit, and to publish their students’ writings; and, working hand in hand with fellow teachers to improve their students’ writing competence.

Abstract

This article proposes new method in Bible interpretation by comparing translation products of Bible which are reflected in many different languages. This writing is also a result of a research which found that comprehending Bible does not demand only its original languages (Hebrew and Greek), however, national languages and local ones may also be used to explore the meaning carried in the Bible by comparing them. The content of this piece of writing provides two main techniques in the new method of Bible comprehension. They are grammatical comparison of languages and historical context as a confirmation. At first, texts of Bible in different languages (the writer uses English, Indonesian, and Kupang Malay text) are compared on each level of the language (word, clause, sentence, and figurative language) to portray the grand idea of the texts; and the next is confirming it to the historical context of the text. This new method contributes to the development of hermeneutics more specifically in Biblical exegesis. Furthermore, this new concept will raise local languages into the higher level, meaning that local languages will be widely used in Bible comprehension with national language of readers and original languages of Bible. This help keep the existence of local wisdom including languages.

Abstract

This research aims at finding out: 1) kinds of English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) essays written by the fourth semester students of the Undergraduate English Education Department, School of Teachers Training and Educational Sciences, Nusa Cendana University; 2) how the students develop as EFL student writers; 3) elements of EFL writing that the students can produce well; and, 4) elements of EFL writing that the students fail to produce well. This research using desctiptive-qualitative method was conducted from March to September, 2019. Its research subjects were the fourth semester students of the department. Since the department has four classes, the researchers chose two classes purposively as their research subjects. The instruments used to get the data were writing tests conducted twice, that is, the first one on 18 March and the second one on 18 September, 2019. In doing the first test, the students were each asked to individually handwrite an essay whose topic was free for an hour. In writing their essays, the students were not allowed to use any dictionary and they were not allowed to discuss it with their friends. After it was written, the researchers collected the essays, asked the students for clarrification on their unclear hand writings. Six months later, that is, on 18 September, 2019, the same essays were handed back to be revised/edited by their relevant writers. The time used to edit/revise each essay by each relevant writer was an hour and they were not allowed to use a dictionary or to discuss it with their friend(s). In addition to these writing tests, the researchers also studied the students’ curriculum document to have an insight into any courses they join that could have influenced their writing development. The focus of the researchers’ documentary study was on subjects related to EFL writing. The data were analyzed descriptively focussing on four major elements of EFL writing, namely: content; organization; word choice, sentence structures, and paragraph structures; and, mechanics of writing (i.e. punctuations and spelling). The data collected were analysed descriptively. It is found that students produced three major kinds of written products, that is, informative, expressive, and a combination of both, but none was included in creative writing. The students had two distinctive ways of development, that is, good and poor development in terms of content; organization; word choice, sentence structures, and paragraph structures; and, mechanics of their writings (i.e. punctuations and spelling). The elements of EFL writings that develop well and/or poorly vary among the research students: some develop well, for example, in relation to content, but poor on word choice and other elements of EFL writing.

Abstract

Animaker, as one of the digital storytelling tools to write a descriptive text in the learning intervention, is promoted in this pilot study. As a part of a classroom action research, this study is conducted to build the students’ digital storytelling literacy. Firstly, it aims at investigating the students’ challenges of using Animaker as a medium to write a descriptive text. Secondly, it is to describe how the aspects of digital storytelling were promoted by Animaker. A descriptive qualitative method is used to analyze the data gained from a questionnaire and the document of students’ animated videos created by using Animaker. The results found that the process of inserting audio files was the most difficult to do for 80% of the students. Around 20%-40% of them were also challenged by the way of adjusting the duration and the volume of the audio inserted on each page. The use of Animaker also promoted the students’ diverged digital storytelling literacy in 11 aspects; the topic, purpose, creator, audience, organization, narration, multimedia, educational value, mechanics, sources, and originality. Then, it is suggested that the use of Animaker should apply certain strategies to minimize the challenges and to increase the students’ digital storytelling literacy. Finally, the researchers recommend this tool to be used frequently in EFL learning as a tool to reinforce the students’ digital storytelling literacy.
