Abstract

This study aims to pinpoint the relevant relation between two literary works which have a relationship with one another in the perspective of comparative literature studies. Data were gathered through the text deconstruction theory method by means of an intertextuality approach. The method is applied to juxtapose two well-known poems, Krawang Bekasi (Indonesia) and The Young Dead Soldiers Do Not Speak (America), which are suspected of having the same content and theme, but their relations were never revealed. This thematic-based study uses a multicultural perspective and is naturally suitable for comparative literature study. The objective of this study was to reveal the existence of Krawang Bekasi as one of the Indonesian poems written by Chairil Anwar and to demonstrate the cultural translation methods, known as cultural intertexts relation, for finding the intertextuality of two literary works. In fact, by tabling line through line, the intertextuality was found to be workable in comparative literature. As a result, the study shows that Krawang Bekasi by Chairil Anwar is an adaptation which borrows from and transforms The Young Dead Soldiers Do Not Speak by Archibald MacLeish. Thus, the intertextual relationship of these two works is revealed.

Abstract

Linguistics and psychological schools of thought had a great influence on language acquisition theories It is still under discussion whether second language acquisition is easy or effortless for adults to learn or not. In non-teaching environments, children can learn their native language quickly, whereas adults cannot. Many researchers believe that adults can quickly acquire a second language due to their high level of cognition clear, logical thinking and strong self-observation skills, while some linguistics researchers consider that it is difficult for adults to develop a second-language acquisition. Therefore, this paper explores to what extent the theories of behavioral and cognitive influence adult acquisition in the second language process. This study considered that these theories have highlighted the difference between the way that children and adults learn to the point that adults appear to “lift the bar” unrealistically when they try to learn an additional language. The novelty of this study is in how the analysis gave a new direction for adult language acquisition theorists to guide adults to mimic children’s way of acquisitioning their first language.

Abstract

The Indonesian school system curriculum was changed from KTSP to curriculum 2013 (K13) since the year 2013. This alteration of the curriculum dealt an impact by changing the allocated time for English classes. Within KTSP, Teachers taught English subject for four hours session per week, which means four times 45 minutes each week, whereas, within the K13, the allocated time for English subject is a two hours session per week which means two times 45 minutes which means there is a reduction in time for English subject. This study aims to determine how English teachers manage their time by conducting interviews, observations, and documentation analysis on 11th grade English teachers at MAN 1 Pasaman, Indonesia. Findings revealed seven strategies, namely following the school calendar, setting goals and working on achieving those goals, prioritizing the more important goal, making a daily schedule of classroom activities, making a to-do list, setting a time limit for the task in the classroom, and utilising transition time effectively. The findings are a novelty because few studies have identified the specific strategies that English teachers used to successfully adapt to the curriculum change. Thus, this study contributes to future educators preparing and anticipating possible curriculum changes that may drastically change teaching time.

Individuals who have a fear of speaking in public suffer from strong fear in social performance situations and social spheres, which is known as glossophobia. This research aims to discover the different factors that cause speaking anxiety among the pre-service teachers of Mountain Province State Polytechnic College - Teacher Education Department (MPSPC-TED) in Philippines and to suggest strategies that could help prevent them from having glossophobia problem. Samples of interview output, coding, and careful analysis and interpretation of the gathered data from the selected 50 undergraduate students who had research oral presentations, oral lesson demonstrations, and oral speaking presentations have been transcribed and found out major themes that cause glossophobia problems, i.e., linguistic obstacles, audience’s manifestation, mastery of the topic and particular motives. Knowing what causes these problems, this study proposed the DISRUPT strategy to reduce students’ public speaking anxiety effectively.

Abstract

There is scarcity of research on classroom management and lesson planning at tertiary level, so the current research investigates these dimensions at tertiary level in Pakistan’s context. This research article is an investigative attempt of understanding lesson planning and proactive classroom management strategies for teaching English at tertiary level in Pakistan. In this regard, the current research analyses primary data collected from the research participants. Moreover, this research paper is qualitative, because it answers open-ended questions using cross-sectional survey as a data collection tool. The investigator has made use of purposive sampling for selecting research participants from different sections of Pakistan’s tertiary level education institutions. The researcher has also employed thematic analysis method to study the collected data. The study reveals that many teachers set objectives, such presentation stage, production stage, and practice stage while planning their lessons. Similarly, the teachers at tertiary level employ behaviour and discussion-based strategies to bring forth proactive classroom management. These findings contribute to the understanding of educationists and bring about further research work at tertiary level from different dimensions. Overall, this research contributes to the pool of knowledge as a qualitative attempt of studying pedagogical management and planning at tertiary level.
