Abstract

Indonesian government provides both national schools and international schools with different English exposures and different language uses that are implemented in the textbooks. Considering the importance of understanding implicature for students, it needs to be investigated what type of textbook has sufficient resources of implicature for students’ learning. Nevertheless, there is a small number of previous researchers that consider comparing textbooks from different types of schools with different curricula in terms of conversational implicature. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the types and analyze the implied meaning of conversational implicature and flouting of Grice’s maxim that is used in When English Rings a Bell for Junior High School and Cambridge Global English for Lower Secondary textbooks, as well as to find the distinctions that are shown in both textbooks in terms of the implicature. This study employed a descriptive qualitative research method with a content analysis approach. This study found that there were 19 conversations from 241 pages collected from When English Rings a Bell and 17 conversations from 152 pages from Cambridge Global English for Lower Secondary which were categorized into GCI and PCI as well as the four maxims (Quality, quantity, relevance, and manner). Therefore, the percentage for the occurrence of conversational implicature and the flouting of the maxim is higher in the international textbook. In conclusion, as the whole comparison, the most noticeable distinction shown in both textbooks is in terms of the way both textbooks provide content of the learning material in the form of conversation. It is also shown the different level of language use in both textbooks that will affect the complexity of the implied meaning in the conversations where the international textbook provides conversations with clearer context and the implied meaning are way more complex.

Then, although there is research on the Cooperative Principle maxim in both modes of communication still not been found that compared the Cooperative Principle maxim in the context of teacher and student interaction in that two modes of communication. This current research employed the descriptive qualitative method. The vocational high school students become the participants of this study because there is a must for them to be fluent in English because of the need to work after they graduate. The researcher is the primary instrument. However, the researcher also used a secondary instrument to find results. The secondary tool is the table used by some previous research on analyzing the flouting and violating of the maxim. Further, the results show in the teacher and students' interaction through the spoken mode of communication, that the most maxim flouted by the teacher and students is the maxim of quantity. Then, the most maxim violated in the spoken mode of communication by the teacher is the maxim of quantity however, students violated the maxim of quality. In the written mode of communication, teachers flouted the maxim quantity and manner for the most, but students flouted the maxim of quality and manner. However, the researcher did not find the occurrence of a violation of the maxim in the written mode of communication.

Abstract

Teachers frequently experience a wide variety of emotions during their teaching services. It is reported that the teachers ‘emotional experiences affect their performances in the classroom and can be one of the main sources of burnout and retention. This study captures the emotional experiences faced by a beginning teacher in her first days in the teaching practice program in an institution. This is a self-study with descriptive qualitative as the method of research. The researcher analyzed the teaching reflection as the instrument of the research. Based on the reflection, the teacher experienced emotional teaching practice mostly in dealing with the students’ behavior, discipline and engagement. She is also emotionally triggered in dealing with dissatisfaction and students’ effort in learning. Before pre-service teachers begin their teaching practice in schools, it is suggested that education study programs draw attention to this problem. Pre-service teachers must also comprehend the significance of reflective practices so that they can learn from their classroom performances and encounters. Future researchers are urged to investigate teachers’ emotional experiences in a broader context and with a greater number of participants.

Abstract

Balance is the ability to stay in one position with good control. Children with a diagnosis of Down syndrome usually have decreased muscle tone (hypotonia) or muscle weakness, so that their balance is disturbed and they are more prone to falling when standing. Core stability and lower extremity strength exercise are expected to improve the ability of static standing balance in children with a diagnosis of Down syndrome. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of giving a combination of core stability and lower extremity strength exercises on the static standing balance ability in children with Down syndrome. This study uses a single subject research on a child with a diagnosis of Down syndrome who is given core stability and lower extremity strength exercise for 4 weeks to improve the ability of static standing balance. The ability of static standing balance in this study was measured using Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM). Measurements were taken before exercise was given (A1), follow-up (B) and final evaluation (A2). After being given exercise twice for four weeks, there was no increase in the GMFM score, so it was concluded that there was no increase in the ability of static standing balance in children with Down syndrome in this study. In conclusions, giving core stability exercise and lower extremity strength exercise twice for four weeks is considered not to be able to improve the ability of static standing balance in children with Down syndrome.
