Abstract

Since the 19th century, feminism has become one of the most important and popular topics. According to Fakih (1996) at the beginning, the movement of feminism is the assumption that women basically are oppressed and exploited and also an effort to completely remove the oppression and exploitation. However, there are still differences in opinion among the feminists about what, why, and how those oppression and exploitation happen. However, they share the same view that the essential struggle of feminists is for equality, status, and also the freedom of controlling their life, both outside and inside the house.Charlotte Bronte creates Jane Eyre‘s characters as a poor, obscure, plain, and little person, but she is an independent woman. Furthermore, she also creates Jane as a victim in every place where she lives. She also turns Jane into a heroine. Jane has to struggle against the old traditions to search for her freedom and liberty in her life and society.            There are three objectives presented in this paper. The first objective is to find out the personalities of Jane Eyre as the main character. The second is to find out the feminism of Jane Eyre’s characters. The third is to find out how feminism in Jane Eyre’s characters reveals the challenge toward the class structure of British society. The method of this paper is a library research to answer the problems and also used the Sociocultural Historical approach to explain more about British condition and society in the novel.The results of these analyses are firstly, Jane Eyre, as the main character in this novel, is a round character. Her character develops in several phases. Secondly, Jane Eyre is a Liberal Feminist. Jane challenges the old tradition, the males’ domination, and subordination of women. In challenging the old tradition, Jane challenges the patriarchal system, where males dominate in society so that women become subordinate. Thirdly, Jane challenges the class structure of British society with her education. Keywords: Characters, feminism

Abstract

There a lot of prediction test books sold in the bookstores in Indonesia. Before doing the national final test, the students may study first from the summary provided in those prediction test books. If the lessons are incorrect, such as containing grammatical errors, most probably, the results of the test are not good. Unfortunately, this happens not because the students’ ability but because of the lessons provided themselves. This research aims to find the grammatical errors found in the summary of English lessons in Buku Jagoan: Langsung Lulus UASBN SD /MI 2013. There are four kinds of errors which are going to be observed, namely the omission, additions, misformation, and misordering. In this research, all sentences provided in the summary are going to be analyzed. The errors will be identified and classified; then, the correction is made. The result of the research  has shown that the four kinds of errors have been found in the summary of English lessons in Buku Jagoan: Langsung Lulus UASBN SD /MI 2013. Keywords: grammatical errors, omission, additions, misformation, misordering

Abstract

The practice of post-editing has become so common these days with to the introduction of Machine Translation (MT). Because of that, the author believes post-editing should be included in all types of translation activities. Subsequently, in the teaching of translation, post editing should be considered as one of the course to be taught. In translation teaching, however, especially in Indonesia, post-editing has not yet been discussed specifically. Most post-editing activities in the classroom in Indonesia is not taught specifically as one of the courses as a part of a minor. Rather, they are integrated as a sub-course of a particular course, such as literary translation. In this research, I would like to propose several inputs which can be considered when teaching post- editing as a part of a bigger course. This research is conducted by reflecting on the actual process of post-editing conducted by the researcher when translating a text. It is expected that the result of the research is to be used by translation trainers, teachers, and practitioners in training their students.Keywords: Post-editing, translation course, sub-course

Abstract

This paper illustrates an approach to linguistic annotation task to translating a text particularly on translating figure of speech in an English fiction novel Falling into Glory. Attaining factual information concerning problems faced by the writer/translator herself in translating source text and giving plausible solutions to the difficulties are the purpose of this annotated translation. Four figures of speech to be discussed respectively originate from two chapters of the novel that the writer found them rather difficult to translate; those difficulties became translation problems for the writer/translator. The solutions to these problems were attained by the annotation or analysis done relevant to the translation strategies and translation theories. Keywords: annotation, figure of speech, translation, introspective

Abstract

This paper tries to explore the differences and convergences between language acquisition and translator training. The differences will be observed from the competences acquired in both classes, the methodology, and the history of the approaches used by both. The convergences will be seen from the shift of focus in teaching, the use of context, the teaching of reading and writing, the use of dictionaries, and the use of Task-Based Approaches. These differences and convergences are expected to give better ideas on how to teach both language and translation. Keywords: Acquisition, Translator, Training

Abstract

In the past, English language teaching (ELT) put more emphasis on the teaching of structure of the language. Meaning and contexts seemed to be neglected. However, over the past few years, the trend has changed. Grammar and structure (language forms) are not the single element of language learned in English language learning. Context should be taken into account when teaching and learning a language.  In this paper, I shall discuss the relationship between contexts and language teaching, particularly English language teaching. In other words, this paper discussess discourse analysis in regard to ELT. Keywords: discourse analysis, English language teaching

Abstract

One of the problems that EFL learners, more specifically Indonesian learners of English, often face deals with collocation. A possible reason for why learners often make inaccurate collocations is the influence of the learners’ L1 or mother tongue. Another likely reason for the learners’ inability to produce native-like collocations is their lack of vocabulary knowledge. So how exactly does one measure learners’ vocabulary knowledge? One way of doing it is by looking at their vocabulary size and depth as well as their receptive and productive vocabulary. From this, the writer has become interested in exploring the relationship between learners’ vocabulary and collocational knowledge, as well as the learners’ L1 influence on their collocation recognition and production. The source of data for the current research is students from the second and fourth semesters of the English Language and Culture department at Bunda Mulia University. In order to measure these variables, the following tools are used: the Vocabulary Size Test (Nation and Beglar, 2007), the Words Associate Test (Read, 1998) and an adapted version of Gyllstad’s (2007) receptive and Nikonzika’s (2012) productive collocation tests. Each of the variables is analyzed using the Pearson product-moment correlation. The findings show that there is a significant positive correlation between the students’ vocabulary knowledge and English lexical collocational knowledge. It is also found that the students’ L1 directly influences their recognition and production of English lexical collocations. Keywords:  vocabulary size and depth, receptive and productive collocation

Abstract

The present study aimed at investigating the English refusal strategies chosen by EFL learners in one public university in Banten regarding social status. A Discourse Completion Task consisting of two situations was employed to gather the data. The data taken were classified and analyzed based on Beebe, et.al (1990). The research result showed that most EFL learners chose indirect strategies to refuse by giving reasons and explanation followed by statements of regret. In relation with social status, in giving indirect refusals as the addition of giving reasons and regret, the EFL learners tended to provide alternatives to the request given by their friends or equal status. However, they tended to provide positive opinions to refuse a request given by someone with higher status. Keywords: refusals, request, social status

Abstract

Speech sounds contain thousands of acoustical features. The linguistic acoustical features can be importantly used to recognize the identity of the speakers due to the fact that every person produces different sounds. This paper is descriptively aimed to investigate the role of tone frequency characters to recognize a speaker’s identity. In order to achieve the objective of this research, the researcher pictures the character of tone frequencies by using PRAAT 4.5.1.4. Supported by mathematical measurement, the writer will formulize the role of these features for identification of personal identity and describe the logical implication of this formulation. Keywords: Tone, frequency, acoustic, identity, recognition
