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 Bloomfield's reading of Saussure's 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

Textbooks are very important parts in teaching and learning process. Both teachers and students, mostly, use them as the basic foundations of courses in the classrooms. Textbooks may not be able to fulfill all the needs of the teaching and learning process but their existence as teaching sources is still paramount. They become one of effective sources of learning used in teaching and learning process and as reflection of values and ideas of a person or nation. The aspect of culture can be supported by systematic and comprehensive textbooks. This research paper analyzes some textbooks used in one of Junior High Schools in Indonesia. The way the writer analyzed the textbooks was based on cultural perspective. This is mainly because, in learning English, Indonesian students should focus more on talking and discussing Indonesian culture in English rather than the English speaking countries’ culture. To analyze and examine the cultural contents in the English textbooks, the writer followed the standards set by Bryam. Byram’s criterion is considered sufficient and comprehensive. This set of checklist is driven from the idea of cultural learning and teaching as an integral part of language education. The result shows that the textbooks being analyzed covered local or Indonesian culture. This findings accentuate the needs of revisiting English teaching materials to contribute to the improvement of English Textbooks in Indonesia.

Abstract

Kelsea is a female character in a novel written by Erika Johansen entitled The Queen of The Tearling. When she is nineteen years old, she becomes a queen. Although she has the highest status in her kingdom, sometimes underestimated by men because she is a girl. The purpose of this research is to reveal Kelsea’s objections against men’s stigma in leading a kingdom. This is a qualitative research. The result of this research shows that Kelsea breaks the men’s stigma saying women are weak. Kelsea argues with the general of her army because he thinks women are bad in military strategy. Moreover, Kelsea proves that she has power to dismiss her uncle from her castle because he corrupts and takes the freedom of the women who satisfy him. In addition, Kelsea sets herself equal with her Queen Guards to learn how to fight with sword and wear armor because she will do something while those men die for her. As a conclusion, Kelsea acts as a strong woman with dignity.

Abstract

Based on the standard competence of Indonesian’s curriculum relating to speaking activities, the students are demanded to express meaning/ messages in both transactional and interpersonal conversation using spoken languages in every context of situation. Two different kinds of conversation have their own characteristics, from which we still encounter students facing difficulties to communicate with others. The study was aimed at describing whether by giving different time allocation for the students to practice doing transactional and interpersonal conversation can impove the students’ conversation skills. It is a classroom action research conducted in my own class; the students in a transactional and interpersonal class became the subject of the study. The class consisted of 24 students in the second semester in the academic year of 2012-2013. To collect the data, I used four ways of collecting data in the forms of observation, questionnaire, interview and video recording. Those four different ways of collecting data were used at initial, middle and final teaching learning process to measure the progress of the study. Time allocation was my teaching technique to improve the students conversation skill. Based on the result of the study, I found that time allocation has positive significance for the students’ conversation activities. This improvement was validated by involving a critical colleague and research participants. It can be seen that the students could conduct conversations in longer period of times for both transactional and interpersonal conversations using different degrees of formality, topic preferences, language uses, mode, purposes and cultural contexts. This suggests that the students need longer time to practice by which they are able to do conversation with others in very meaningful ways.

Abstract

Translation has exposed a number of problems related to the linguistic domain. Suchproblems may stem from socio-cultural differences between the source language and thetarget language. They may also stem from the differences of the grammatical featuresbetween the two languages. Therefore, such problems have influenced the effort of achievingcorrespondence as well as equivalence; one of such problems is the existence of formalnonequivalence. This research aims to solve the problems of (1) how such formalnonequivalence appears in the translation of behavioral clauses and (2) how to achievefunctional equivalence through the presence of formal nonequivalence. This study wasdirected to deliberately analyze a written text in English and its translation in Indonesian. Itwas found out that formal nonequivalence may occur in word, phrase, and clause levels.Such formal nonequivalence has, however, facilitated the effort of achieveing functionalequivalence at clause level. In order to materialize functional equivalence at the clause level,the translation has been done by means of maintaining behavioral clauses or restructuringthem to form material clauses, mental clauses, or verbal clauses.

Abstract

Language competence and pragmatic competence are significant factors in translation activity, thus there should be refined instruments, tools, and methods as well as procedures in raising awareness not only on linguistic competence of translators or students translators, but also equally important on pragmatic competence. The purpose of this writing is to suggest and trigger teachers/educators teaching translation subject at the university level particularly to make use of audiovisual as tool to increase awareness of implicatures and other pragmatic components involved in translating subtitles from English to Indonesian and vice versa. In other words, the students realise that they need pragmatic awareness in the process of text transfer. The writer uses library research to explore varieties of teaching methods and procedures in teaching translation using multimedia or audiovisual. To sum up, it is achievable to enhance pragmatic awareness in teaching translation using audiovisual as long as the teachers/lecturers/educators are able to develop material and propose a model or lesson plan of raising pragmatic awareness in language teaching, especially in the context of English as a foreign language.

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

Le roman policier est un roman lié à la criminalité dont le personnage est un agent de police ou un détective ayant du type protagoniste dont la mission révèle le crime. Quatre éléments construisent le roman policier, ce sont ; l’élément du crime, l’élément du mystère, l’élément du  détective et l’élément de la résolution inattendue à la fin d’histoire. La particularité du roman réalisé par Maurice  Leblanc est que le personnage principal est un voleur, ce n’est donc pas un détective. C’est la raison pour laquelle je voudrais évaluer si les éléments de ce roman policier suivent les normes, c'est-à-dire il a les mêmes éléments que les autres romans policiers. Cette recherche utilise la méthode descriptive qualitative pour analyser les données (les éléments construisant le roman, perçus dans les phrases du roman L’Aiguille Creuse. La recherche montre que tous les éléments sont présents : le crime, le mystère, le détective et la résolution inattendue à la fin d’histoire, y compris le génie de Lupin en tant que personnage principal de manifester son victoire contre les trois détectives. A part cela, l’histoire d’amour et le piège se trouvent au début et au cours de l’enquête.
