Abstract

Language possesses a very significant role in the formation of reality inside the mind of its users. Three elements comprising of society, language, and thoughts are interrelated in constructing the reality of language in society. Society produces thoughts; thoughts create society, and language mediates the process of formulation of reciprocal relation between thoughts and society. Sexism in language use in society prevails in favours of men culture that is directly responsible for the way people see their world, as an important means of reinforcing sexist assumptions. As life flows to its natural course, this linguistic habit is challenged in its being rational and logical by linguistic feminists, of which both female and male. Keywords: sexism in language, linguistic feminists

Abstract

Patriarchy places Mur, the main character in NH Dini’ s novel entitled “Bandungan Street”, as the secondary citizen, since its orientation is men. This condition impedes her to reach Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The apathy and sadness come since those needs cannot be met. It prompted her to be powerless. Then, she uses the ‘Will to Power” proposed by Nietzsche as to control the undesired condition to empower herself. At last, she can achieve self-actualization, to be the best she can be, as the highest need’s rank. It proves that women can even be the better species if they are also given the same opportunity.   Key words: patriarchy, will to power, self-actualization.

Abstract

Translating metaphors is unique and specific. It needs an extraordinary skill and knowledge because it is different from translating ordinary texts. Translators of metaphors should pay attention to not only the meaning but also the context and culture of both source text and target text. Translating a metaphor is not just transferring the meaning but replacing the metaphor itself into the target language culturally and contextually accepted. It is suggested that translator can use semantic translation method when he or she translates metaphors, reproduces the same metaphors, replaces metaphors with metaphors or translate metaphors by similes. Keywords: translation, metaphor, tenor, vehicle, semantic translation method

Abstract

Structural Linguistics is an approach to linguistics originating from the work of Swiss Linguist Ferdinand de Saussure. Saussure stressed examining language as a static system of interconnected units. Structural Linguistics involves collecting a corpus of utterances and then applying discovery procedures to them in an attempt to classify all of the elements of the corpus at their different linguistic levels as the phonemes, morphemes, word classes, noun phrases, verb phrases, and sentence types. After Saussure, the history of Structural Linguistics branches off in two separate directions. First, in America, linguist Leonard Bloomfields reading of Saussures course proved influential, bringing about the Bloomfieldean phase of phase in American Linguistics that lasted from the mid 1930s to the mid 1950s. Second, in Europe, Saussure influenced the Prague School of Roman Jakobson and Nikolai Trubetzkoy, whose work would prove hugely influential, particularly concerning phonology, and the Copenhagen School of Louis Hjelmslev. Teaching methods which are based on structral linguistics are ASTP (Army Specialized Training Program) and Audio Lingual Method (AL-Method) also known as Michigan Method, Fries Method, or Oral Approach. During World War II (1943-1044), there were 20 countries which used these teaching methods including Japan, and brought a great result especially in Japanese language education.   Keywords: Structural Linguistics, Saussure, ASTP, Audio Lingual Method,  Japanese Language Education

Abstract

In the teaching of reading comprehension, there are many different strategies that can be used to simplify the process of teaching. The determination to selec teaching strategies is not arbitrary, but should be considered from various aspects. There are a number of strategies that can be applied to improve the students’ comprehension. The strategies are designed to help teachers bring knowledge about learners, guide learners to read the text, help them develop active and focused reading activities, and strengthen  the them in conceptualizing ideas taken from the reading text. One type of readings that can be used is authentic or original text not to be made for the benefit of foreign language teaching. The goal was to determine the ability of language learners to analyze the text. Key Words: reading comprehension, authentic material, teaching strategies

The curriculum evaluation was conducted through a needs analysis, focusing on the needs of the students in the program.

There were four aspects of the curriculum that this study investigated: (1) the goals/objectives of the writing courses, (2) the approaches/methodology, (3) the classroom management, and (4) the class/program resources. More specifically, this study intended to know whether the course objectives/goals were appropriate with the needs of the students, whether the approaches/methodology were contextual and met the needs of the students, whether the classroom management was effective, and whether the class/program resources adequate to implement the goals/objectives. The study was categorized as a case study since it was a certain case happened in a certain context. The same case may not happen to other contexts that have different characteristics to the context of this study. The study employed qualitative/descriptive design by utilizing four methods of data collection: (1) document analysis, (2) classroom observations, (3) questionnaire, and 4) interview. The analysis of the data was conducted throughout the study; once a piece of data was gained, it was analyzed right away. The data was coded and categorized which then allowed for generating findings. There are four major findings of this study: (1) the goal/objectives of the writing courses were appropriate to the students’ needs; however, the courses did not accommodate the realization of the goals/objectives, (2) the approaches/methodology, to some degree, were not contextual and did not meet the needs of the students, (3) the classroom management, to some extent, was not effective, and (4) the class/program resources, for certain aspects, were adequate to implement the goals/objectives of the courses.   Key Words: curriculum, needs analysis, approach, method, classroom management
