Critical Thinking: The Need for It Today Gloria C. Kismadi
Journal of English Language and Culture Vol 1, No 1 (2011): Journal of English Language and Culture
Publisher : Universitas Bunda Mulia

Critical thinking is not a new concept but one that goes all the way back to more than two thousand years ago when Socrates developed a way of questioning to look into the rationality of how people thought, learned and examined issues that needed answers and solutions. The development of civilization throughout the ages, however, has always influenced the way people are educated and learn the skills needed in order to understand and deal with questions that come up within contexts that are new and may still be unfamiliar. In the process of such developments, views with regard to the way people think and reason out issues change to suit the needs and demands of the time. It is in this manner that critical thinking became ignored in the education of young people. Today, however, critical thinking has been brought back into education, and the reason could very well be that current demands on students make it necessary for them to learn to understand and function rationally in today’s fast-changing world with its varied and multi-complex problems.Developments in technology have brought about unprecedented amounts of information at speeds never before anticipated. What happens in one small corner of the world is known globally the instant it occurs. Education that continues to focus only on the teaching of “reading, writing and ‘rithmetic” would be straying off course from the directions that should be taken in order to cope with today’s as well as future needs. It is for this reason that training in critical thinking should be a vital part of the educational curriculum today. Keywords: Critical thinking, education, curriculum

Journal of English Language and Culture Vol 5, No 2 (2015): Journal of English Language and Culture
Publisher : Universitas Bunda Mulia

The aim of this paper is looking on the impact of English as a global language from an angle of how English language is used in local printed advertising media in Jakarta particularly on fliers. Discussion takes place by comparing two different brands in the city: a local brand advertisement and an international/multinational brand advertisement which sells similar product. Linguistic elements such as lexical category (verbs, nouns, etc.) are the focal point of the discussion. It can be said, at the end, that the local brands try to get brand power and position in the market through the usage of English language (as language choice), product name, logo, and even the content message in brochures and menus. Meanwhile it seems that the international brand uses adaptation technique to call for Indonesianisation of their product. Keywords: English as global language, advertisement, linguistic elements

The writer will see how many verbs that frequently collocate with ‘excited’. After that, the writer will see the differences between those verbs. Finally, the writer will compare the results of the COCA and the results of the students’ test. In learning English, one main problem that learners often encounter is learning vocabulary.

Uncovering "Hidden Messages" in Hillary Clinton's Concession Speech Post-Presidential Defeat: A Critical Discourse Analysis Dery Rovino
Journal of English Language and Culture Vol 9, No 2 (2019): Journal of English Language and Culture
Publisher : Universitas Bunda Mulia

Due to a narrative that speeches may assist with understanding gender identity indexical(s) in politics, this study aims to discover such meanings underneath the text production of Hillary Clinton’s concession speech post-defeat in the latest US presidential election. Through Critical Discourse Analysis – Text as A Critical Object (CDA – TACO), it seems evident in Hillary Clinton’s speech that there are patriotic lexical choices, parallelism, alliteration, anthropomorphization, and repetition for emphasis, personal pronoun “I” and “my”, suggesting a certain degree of assertiveness, which are generally specific to male politicians (Reyes, 2015). There is a marked use of collective pronoun “we”, “our”, connoting a level of intimacy between the speaker and audience, interestingly however, evidenced not only on Clinton’s speech but male politicians as wel, thus rendering it gender-neutral. Evidences of backgrounding, thus distancing self, when the politician utters disappointments are noticeable. Findings partially prove that gender-driven lexical choice by Hillary Clinton noticeably conforms to those of male orators in politics, although most of her expressions suggest commonality of political speeches. Limitations of the study are put forth.Keywords: gender; politics; identity indexical(s); CDA
