Abstract

Emotional management is one crucial skill that teachers should acquire. In this case, the teachers should be able to regulate their emotions to succeed in the teaching process. This study aimed to investigate how Papuan English teachers manage their emotions during teaching based on two research questions: 1. In which situation do Papuan English teachers experience positive and negative emotions? 2. To what extent can Papuan English teachers manage their emotions during teaching? The four participants who contributed to this study were experienced English teachers from two Junior High Schools in Timika, Papua, Indonesia. In this study, the researchers employed a qualitative method, specifically a descriptive case study. In collecting the data, the researchers used two types of instruments namely open-ended questions and semi-structured interviews. Meanwhile, the researchers used the thematic analysis method to analyze the data. Based on the findings, the positive emotions consisted of four elements such as happiness, motivating, confidence and pride. The negative emotions also encompassed four elements: anger, stress, sadness, and anxiety. In addition, the findings suggested that most participants had regulated their emotions properly and appropriately by employing several strategies such as avoiding harsh words during anger, self-relaxing, self-talking, and reflection.

Abstract

This study aimed at describing the religious aspects in Negeri 5 Menara, a novel by Ahmad Fuadi. To analyze the novel, the structural method was implemented to operationally describe the intrinsic elements of the novel. To reveal the meanings of the novel as a semiotic phenomenon, heuristic and hermeneutic methods were also implemented. The religious aspect found in the novel was a shared mission that brought the characters to Pondok Pesantren Madani (pondok pesantren means Islamic boarding house, which is also briefly referred to as pondok or pesantren) as santris (santri means a student of Islamic boarding house) and united them in an environment full of religious values. A proverb from hadith saying Man Jadda Wajada (whoever strives shall succeed) was clearly manifested by all characters, including the teachers and the santris. The moral messages depicted by the author through the narratives of intellectuality and spirituality clearly indicated religious values of this novel.

Abstract

The knowledge of machine translation has great importance in the pre-translation process, particularly when translating a literary work. There were a plethora of studies about the translation of cultural-specific items (CSI) with machines. However, they have not addressed machine translation post-editing to improve its translation. This study aims at describing the semantic analysis in the translation of cultural-specific items (CSI) by machine translation (MT) from Indonesian into English, analyzing their translation and whether or not they have similar meanings between the source text and target text to get a better quality translation. Qualitative research using descriptive methods was applied. The data were 12 sentences of CSI in the form of concrete and five sentences of CSI regarding socio-cultural terms from the short story of Betawi folklore entitled Angan-Angan si Muin (Muin's Wishful Thinking). The result revealed that the 2nd generated the better translation in concrete. Both machine translations (MT) produced different translations for translating CSI of socio-cultural terms. Therefore, post-editing is taken to improve their translation with semantic analysis of relation meaning with primary considerations such as material, shape, size, function, and description. Machines translator (MT) helps us to work efficiently and improve accuracy. But, the results of machine translations must still be reviewed by human translators to ensure key quality requirements are satisfied, including fidelity or correctness, intelligibility or clarity, and style, so we need post-editing translation.

Abstract

Myth is an important part of the history of Indonesian civilization. This study tries to reveal the position of tigers as a myth believed in Sundanese society. In conducting the research, textual analysis by using Kurniawan’s Man Tiger as the primary data was employed. The researcher analyzed how the tiger as a symbol in Sundanese myth represents a specific power relation in society. Levi-Strauss’ structuralism was used. After determining units, episodes, and mythemes, binary opposition was used to reveal the meanings. The results of the study show that Man Tiger has eight episodes. It is also found out that there are different power relations established by two basic situations, namely Sundanese traditional and urban societies. In Sundanese traditional society, tiger owners are considered heroes because they protect people from both invaders and robbers. Because of this, they are put in a high place. These beliefs and power relations are very evident in the sphere of traditional society, while they begin to fade in the urban society. In other words, Sundanese traditional society has a myth-based-power relation showing that the tigers’ owner have notable and high position, while the urban society socially has no power relation based on myth.

Abstract

Although teaching methods had been developed in recent years, project-based learning adopting multimodality in language teaching-learning which deals with materials development facilitating language skills and environment care at the varsity level remained underexplored yet. This qualitative content analysis study purposed to explore learners’ reflections in the enactment of multimodal project-based learning – to display how multimodal project-based learning facilitates learners’ language skills and environmental care. Twenty-four learners act as participants, do various projects, and describe their experience toward multimodal project-based learning of green listening and speaking course in the form of learners’ reflections. The findings show that students report the positive effects which influence their learning process. The results also indicate that adopting multimodal project-based learning of green listening and speaking facilitates learners’ language skills development and builds environmental awareness. Thus, the results of this research may have implications as the pioneer projects on investigating learners’ reflection of multimodal project-based learning and contribute to the development of the EFL learning process in general.
