Abstract

The paper aims at elaborating issues in Indonesian curriculum 2013, the latest curriculum in the country and address some issues in the pedagogical issues. Curriculum, considering its vital role in nation wide education, should get tremendous attention from all stakeholders: the government through the ministry of education, the school leaders, teachers, society and students. As curriculum plays as the national standards, all the executing stakeholder set their classroom aims, assessment, and plans accordingly. Based on the rationale, it is imperative to look at the curriculum from the lens of multicultural education because Indonesia is a diverse country. A curriculum that is responsive to the cultures in education setting would enhance the equality in education that eventually education for all can be achieved. This study employed systematic literature review as reseach method. The researcher examined literatures about related to culturally responsive teaching and the evidence of educational problems that currently happens from current published journals as well as important books related to culturally responsive teaching. The results indicated that there is a gap between the reality in the field and the educational system that has been established. A curriculum that is responsive to students’ culture urges to be there in the curriculum, whether it is from the teacher or the stakeholders. In addition, the higher education also started to step forward to curriculum that retains students’ culture.

Abstract

Within the last four years there have been an increasing number of English textbooks for Indonesian primary students. The rising number of the books in the market seems to answer the demand of both Indonesian students and teachers of English as it is now a local load subject with standard of competences set up by Ministry of Education and Culture. Yet, many if not most of the English textbooks are written from the authors’ points of view, which may not be reflective of children’s world. Furthermore, the textbooks provide target language materials that are beyond the competencies. Therefore, this article, as part of a project of writing English textbooks for children, will briefly evaluate the available English textbooks for Indonesian primary students, grades 1 to 3. It was found that out of eight English textbooks randomly evaluated, only three that provided language content that really considered the children’s language development, and the fact that Indonesian primary students are young beginners learning English, a language that is their second or even third language.

Abstract

Language shift may lead to language investment, and it may also affect language heritage maintenance.  This case study aims to explore maintenance of language heritage among a group of Papuan students who are living in a school dormitory, away from their families. These 29 senior high school students are originally from different ethnic groups from several districts in  Papua. A questionnaire and a semi-structured interview video-recorded for data collection were employed to find out the students’ attitudes towards languages and maintenance of heritage languages. The questionnaire was designed and developed by adapting the semi-structured interview questions designed by Berman et al. (2011). The data were analysed based on the aspects organised in the questionnaire and the results were compared with the findings of Berman et al.’s  (2011), Ehala and Niglas’s (2006), and Nguyen’s (2018) studies. The result shows that there has been a language shift among these adolescents. Living among a community that is totally different from theirs has driven them to adapt and accept the language used in the community. Technology exposure at school has also affected their perspectives towards their future, which motivates them to invest in other languages that they think are important for their future career. Their positive attitudes towards other languages do not discourage them from maintaining their heritage language, as they perceive the use of heritage language as a way to stay connected with their own culture.

Abstract

From the start, the philosophical movement that came to be known as existentialism was associated with literature. This possibility happens because there is a natural affinity between existential philosophy and narrative forms of art. On one hand, existentialist concur on the primacy of individual existence, of the lived experience of concrete human beings. On the other hand, cinematic narratives tell stories of beings such as ourselves, helping us to make sense of our existence and opening up probabilities that we might never have pondered otherwise (Shaw, 2017). Interestingly, Time.com stated that Pixar films are the philosophical of the animation world. Here lies the reason why the writer decided to analyze the portrayal of Jean-Paul Sartre’s famous phrase ‘Existence Precedes Essence’ in the latest Disney Pixar animation, Soul. Sartre argued that for human beings, our existence precedes our essence. In addition, Sartre’s notion of ‘existence’ characterized in terms of consciousness, free choice and ‘subjectivity’. For Sartre, the first act of consciousness is to choose. This study shows that Disney Pixar’sSoul does portray Sartre’s ‘existence precedes essence’ through Joe’s life – human beings have no fixed preordained essence or definition. Moreover, Sartre’s idea of consciousness or subjectivity can be seen from 22’s decision to be dared to live.

Abstract

The teaching and learning process entails several encounters in which the teacher and students exchange a variety of utterances, particularly in language classes. Understanding language involves an understanding of pragmatics. Teaching and learning will be more successful if appropriate speech acts are used. Directive Speech Acts are a type of speech act that is frequently employed in classroom interactions. It is used by the teacher to give instruction, command the students to do something, limit the students’ bad behavior, etc. This study aims at investigating the types of directive speech acts and analyzing the functions of the acts used by English teachers at SMKN 1 Sawan. The theory of directive acts classification adopted in this study is the theory proposed by Ibrahim (1993). Ibrahim’s theory classified directive acts into six major types. They are requestive, question, requirement, prohibitive, permission and advisory. This research also focused on the functions of directive acts based on Amalsaleh, Yamini, and Yarmohammadi's (2004) theory. They are elicitation, instruction, advice, threat, and attention-getter. This research was a descriptive study with two teachers as the subjects of this research. Observation and recording were used as the technique in collecting the data. The validity of the data used is source and theory of triangulation. The results showed that the most frequent type of directive speech acts used by the teachers was question directive with occurance of 185 utterances (46.95%). Teachers that employ the question directive encourage students to be interested in the world around them, to enhance their abilities and attitudes toward science, and to enhance their speech communication and critical thinking.  The other functions of the acts were also identified in various types of the acts.

Abstract

This study investigates the strategies of oral corrective feedback applied by senior teachers in EFL speaking classes. It is to shed light on whether those strategies used are effective to lead the repair uptake. Additionally, it is to find out the attempts done by the learners to repair their errors. This study applies a qualitative method that uses classroom observations as the technique for collecting the data. The data are taken from speaking classes taught by three senior teachers in three universities. The study reveals that the corrective feedback strategies of correct forms elicited were effective to lead to repair uptake. Those were elicitation, clarification request, repetition, and metalinguistic cue. Related to uptake, the learners attempted to achieve well-formed sentences by the process of Needs Repair to Repair uptake. It involved the same errors and acknowledgment for Needs Repair and incorporation, repetition, and self-repair for repair uptake. It is recommended that teachers apply the correct form elicited corrective feedback strategies to correct learners’ erroneous forms and provide the uptake since it is the learning process.Keywords: Oral Corrective Feedback strategies, Learners’ uptake, Repair, Needs Repair

Abstract

 ABSTRACTIndonesian language has long been officially determined as the national language of Indonesia. However, numerous texts in mass media embed English in the text being delivered.  Previous studies have shown that English has long been used in Indonesia’s different media and platforms to, one of which, enhance the sense of prestige as well as class of the discourse presented. Though some researchers have conducted studies regarding the surface ideation of advertisements, little is known about the linguistic ideology behind the use of English in those texts, wherein the gap is fulfilled by the present study. This study aimed to analyze the linguistic ideology behind the English used on local billboards, with TACO framework. The findings showed that English is often used on local billboards in plenty of non-normative lexical positioning, unconventional spelling, and preferences in source language over the prescribed Bahasa Indonesia loan words. Study also found different modes of Bahasa Indonesia-English coinage as well as some evidence of disconnect between the Bahasa Indonesia-English use of expressions and the actual sold products. This study believes that these eccentric language pairings between Bahasa Indonesia and English lend themselves into the present ideology of prestige enhancement of the product and service advertised. This ideation is derived from a particular narrative that English is superior towards the national language, Indonesian language. Findings also exhibited that economic and education gaps are two main issues hidden behind the use of English on local billboards.

Abstract

Although publications on audiovisual translation are gaining more and more attention, very little has been done on its assessment (Kajzer-Wietrzny & Tymczyńska, 2015). In the workfield, audiovisual translation is reviewed to be given ffedback. In Universitas Bunda Mulia (UBM), audiovisual translation assessments need to be objectively assessed to produce grades, in addition to individual and collective feedbacks. However, the grading in UBM has always been conducted subjectively. Subjective assessment might result in emotional judgment and inappropriate feedbacks. For that reason, this research aims to devise a marking criteria for the assessment of audiovisual translation products in an academic context, namely in UBM. The audiovisual translation in UBM is divided into four categories, namely captioning, subtitling, audio description, and dubbing. The marking categories to be used on each category needs to have different criteria. This research determines the criteria to be assessed based on market requirements as written in different literature. The criteria specifically developed in this research are those of captioning and dubbing. Both criteria is developed with translation or rendering accuracy as the most significant criteria, followed by synchronies and alignment as the second most significant criteria, and followed by equal values in formatting and technical accuracies. These criteria needs to be further tested for reliability and validity. In addition, training of the schemes must be administered considering that there are numerous specific terminologies used in them.

Abstract

Burger King and McDonald's are the two largest burger franchises globally, characterized by the number of restaurants owned. Burger King and McDonald's competition can be seen from how the two companies penetrate the global market. From the advertising context, both companies innovatively and persuasively develop consumer awareness on the one hand, and on the other hand, there are attempts to weaken competitors. This research is directed to analyze the (multimodal) metaphor used by the two companies to promote burger products. Qualitative research on pictorial advertisements was carried out in stages through several phases, which included descriptions of social, historical, and cultural contexts, identification of visual elements, identification of verbal elements, and analysis that elaborated on the three phases. The analysis shows competition between Burger King's and McDonald's advertisements. Multimodal metaphor analysis comprehensively shows that both companies use visual and verbal elements to increase consumers' awareness of existing or future products. Both companies tend to use personification to build corporate identity and the products offered and will be promoted. This research still has many weaknesses. The author suggests that the analysis focus on linguistic elements and extra-linguistic elements, such as motion, images, and sounds.
