Inner self-confidence is self-confidence that gives to the individual’s feelings and suppositions that the individual is in good condition. There are three main characteristics that are distinctive to people who have a healthy inner self-confidence. The three characteristics are self-love, self-understanding, and positive thinking. This research used descriptive qualitative method because the discussion was descriptively accomplished. The descriptive qualitative method was applied to explain the self-confidence to get success from the quotations in the movie script. The result result shows that self-confidence born and inner self-confidence vividly played important role to make the protagonist’s success come true.

Abstract

Justin Zackham published the script for his film The Bucket List in 2007. The script tells the story of two men who have serious illnesses and have a strong desire to continue doing things they haven't done before they die. The film script was adopted into a film in 2008. This study aims to reveal the moral values contained in the film script. Various theories related to moral values were adopted to support this analysis, but the main theory that will be used is the theory proposed by Berterns. Another concept is proposed by Elizabeth stating that moral is controlled by the moral, the rules of moral to which the members of a culture have become accustomed to and which determine the expected behavior pattern of all group members. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method. The results of the analysis show that the moral values found in the characters discussed, Edward Cole and Carter Chambers, are the values of courage, honesty, patience, responsibility, and humility. These moral values make the two characters successful and useful for many people.

Abstract

In the past years, teachers have been made to assume that corrective feedback benefits students’ writing improvement. Corrective feedback as “any information provides information on the result of behaviour. However, a growing body of research has been reinvestigating the effectiveness of corrective feedback as a result of John Truscott’s claim of its inefficiency. This paper aims to expand the related study on written corrective feedback to find corrective feedback with a significant positive effect on students’ writing performance. This experimental study obtained the data from sixty-six homogeneous L2 students which were equally divided into three groups. The first group was given explicit correction feedback, the second group was given metalinguistic clue feedback, and the last group was the control group. The result showed that the explicit correction was more effective compared to metalinguistic but the fact that the participants tend to perform better even without receiving any correction made the small effect of explicit correction to be questioned.
