Abstract

Teaching Practice program (PPL) must be done by the students of English Education Department of Muria Kudus University as one of the requirements to finish their study of under graduate program in English Education. PPL implementation is done in some schools that have been determined before by the department. PPL is a training program for students which offer an opportunity for the students to apply the theory and their knowledge about education as well as the implementation of English teaching directly in front of the students at schools where they have to do the PPL. As teacher trainees, the English Education Department students, do not have sufficient experience in managing a class, especially in providing effective instruction in the classroom. Providing good instructions is one of the important aspects of the success of the learning process, so it is important for teachers to understand how to organize the lesson and provide classroom interaction in a proper and effective way. The focus of this study is to explain how the classroom management techniques applied by the teacher candidates (PPL) in teaching and learning and the improvements of the students during the lesson. As the PPL program manager, Department of English Education of UMK can use this study as an evaluation by understanding the weaknesses and problems experienced by students teacher during teaching practice program, so the Department will be able to make better achievement through the implementation of the program so that students will be well prepared to carry out the teaching process in the classroom.

Abstract

As the home of many ethnic groups, Indonesia is a showcase of diversity. On the one hand Indonesiais benefited in many crucial sectors such as economy and tourism from the rich diversity of its natural and human resources but on the other hand the country is facing a high risk of intergroup friction. The goverment of Indonesia attempted to end social conflict and disintegration in many ways, from interfaith dialogue to military occupation. Despite of all progress, little has been done to find a fundamental resolution. This study examines the importance of paradigm change in understanding conflict. The New Order approach in conflict resolution suggests that conflict is destructive and therefore needs to be avoided. However, conflict can also be constructive and in order to deal with conflict in a constructive way, institutions or organizations must be aware of this two-fold concerns and citizens must be educated in the skill to face conflict. Going deeper in the plea that education constructs a nation, using the same analogy, peace education should also construct a peaceful nation. Finally, this study proposes the use of multicultural literature to reconstruct the notion of conflict through the practice of multicultural education in early childhood education.

Abstract

Jack Frost may not be as popular as Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Sandman, and Tooth Fairy in the tradition of Western fairy tales. However, having observed Peter Ramsey’s Rise of the Guardians, it is quite ‘enlightening’ to perceive Jack Frost positioned not only as a mere Hollywood’s animated hero, but as complex one. One of the complexities studied in this case resides in the initiation and transformational process he has to undergo. This article overviews the relation between such process and his position as the archetypal hero. Making use archetypal approach, this article intends to explain the issue. The result indicates that his portrayal in the movie as the archetypal hero experiencing archetypal initiation and transformation is influenced by some factors: interaction with other Guardians and children, quest for self-identity, and his relation with nature.

Abstract

Foreign language learning with local culture contents began from the importance of the representation of the roots of the nation in foreign language. Foreign language learning strategies which mediate local cultures and cultural values existed in a foreign language generate a global perspective on foreign cultures, not only on the articulation of local messages to foreign languages, but also it compares how the local values are relevant to the values of other nations. Eventually, learners realize that by understanding themselves, they will be able to appreciate the wisdom of other nations. French culture which was compared to Javanese cultures in this article proved the statement above.
