<![CDATA[This paper aims at explaining the theoretical based and the implementation of Inquiry-Based Language Learning particularly in Indonesia. IBLL is not quite familiar in Indonesian context especially in educational field. In other hand, Curriculum 2013 is very popular in this country although both of them are related each other. This curriculum adopted the concept of IBLL in which it encourages the students to construct the knowledge. Based on the principle of inquiry, the students supported by the teacher and peers try to answer the questions coming from themselves. These answers will help them in constructing the knowledge. IBLL is completely useful in promoting long life education that enables them to continue the quest for knowledge throughout life.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aimed to investigate the use of local dialect as language instruction in the English classroom and its demotivating factors for Ngapak Javanese speakers. There were four English teachers and 132 students from four schools in the Ngapak Javanese community participating in this research by semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. The findings showed that local variety influenced students’ phonological features, stressing, and intonation. The teachers were indicated having positive attitudes toward the use of local dialect of English. However, they provoked the students to use Bahasa Indonesia as their second language in switching and mixing the code in the teaching and learning process. Lack of vocabulary mastery was also one of the obstacles faced by the teachers. Teachers' perception of the most appropriate implementation of language instruction, teaching strategies, learning resources, and media may lead them to deliver the instruction properly and effectively in improving students’ proficiency. Ngapaknese English could be suggested as a pedagogical implication in the sense of Western Central Java because it is more popular, feasible and practical for students. It also has realistic values in classes, including inspiring students to practice speaking, feasible and cost-efficient.]]>

Newspaper is one of the real implementations of discourse representation because newspaper comprises several components in discourse representation. Newspaper in every country is made based on its language and every newspaper has difference and similarity in terms of discourse representation. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the contrastive analysis of discourse representation in Indonesia newspaper and English newspaper reports.

This present study applied descriptive qualitative design which focused on representing verbs and modes of discourse representation (direct and indirect discourse). The findings of this study were that both newspapers have differences and similarities even though the difference was not quite dominant. The similarity of these newspapers could be seen from the use of reporting verbs and indirect discourse which were more dominant than the other parts in discourse representation. The difference could be seen also from representing verbs and modes of discourse representation. Although, reporting verbs are majority parts in Indonesia newspaper and English newspaper, but several words in Indonesia had the same translation into English. Manner of speaking verbs, mental verbs were still rare found in Indonesia newspaper. In Indonesia newspaper had only direct and indirect discourse, while in English newspaper had direct, indirect, free direct discourse, and indirect discourse in headline. In short, these newspapers have contrastive analysis in terms of discourse representation.]]>

<![CDATA[Abstrak : Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif yang akan dipresentasikan secara kualitatif (naratif). Peneliti akan mengumpulkan informasi secara mendalam tentang klasifikasi penilaian keahlian berbicara (speaking) mahasiswa Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris STAIN Curup, skema nilai yang digunakan serta alasan pengggunaan klasifikasi dan sistem nilai tersebut. Adapun subjek penelitian ini adalah dosen-dosen Speaking II dan Speaking IV Tahun akademik berjalan Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris STAIN Curup. Sebuah checklist dan pedoman wawancara digunakan untuk menggali informasi tentang klasikasi penilaian dan sistem nilai dari subjek penelitian secara langsung. Catatan lapangan (fieldnotes) juga dimaksudkan untuk memperoleh data yang tidak tampak pada performansi di kelas dan untuk kepentingan trianggulasi data yang diperoleh secara keseluruhan nantinya. Adapun observasi, analisis dokumen dan wawancara adalah teknik dalam pengumpulan data. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dosen-dosen speaking memiliki klasifikasi penilaian yang beberapa komponennya telah sesuai dengan teori menilai keahlian berbicara, seperti Fluency, Grammatical accuracy, Comprehension/content, and pronunciation. Sementara sistem nilai dan penentuan skor untuk tiap elemen klasifikasi penilaian tersebut belum cukup jelas. Efisiensi dan efektivitas pemberian tes berbicara (speaking) menjadi alasan utama yang melatarbelakangi kriteria yang mereka pilih serta sistem penentuan skor yang mereka berlakukan. Sangatlah perlu bagi para dosen speaking untuk mempedomani teori tentang kriteria penilaian serta penentuan skor untuk tiap kriteria dalam melakukan penilaian keahlian berbicara mahasiswa. Hal ini akan meningkatkan objektivitas penilaian dan meminimalisir subjektivitas. Walaupun klasifikasi penilaian harus tetap merujuk pada aturan yang dibuat institusi (STAIN), diharapkan para dosen juga mempertimbangkan tujuan pengajaran speaking itu sendiri. Keywords : Marking system, criteria of marking dan scoring scheme]]>
