Abstract

This paper analyses place names in the Ekegusii language from the cognitive linguistics point of view. The study is grounded on three objectives: to identify and explain the Ekegusii names of places, to describe the social cultural values, and to account for the cognitive processes involved in their mapping, analysis and elucidation. The data comprises of a list of Ekegusii place names collected from two counties, Kisii and Nyamira, by interviewing people through snowballing, and later holding a panel discussion with selected elders regarding the mapping processes and meanings associated with them. The Cognitive Metaphor Theory was used to map them to the different types of conceptual domains. Findings from this study show that place names in Ekegusii are conceptualized as seasons, topography, people, animals, plants and objects (as source domains which are social-culturally determined), and portray their cultural identity and tradition. The study concludes by suggesting further research in onomastics, especially on metaphor and metonymy in other languages of the world.

Abstract

Formative assessment is one type of assessment that is commonly implemented in teaching and learning. However, to carry out a formative assessment, teachers need to adjust the conceptions of formative assessment in the online teaching and learning environment. This descriptive qualitative study aimed to determine the English teacher's conceptions of formative assessment in online teaching and learning. To gather the data, the writers used a closed-questionnaire and semi- structured interview. Furthermore, two English teachers participated as the sample of this study. These two English teachers were selected based on several predetermined conditions; teaching experience and educational background. The result of this study shows that both English teachers have a good conception of formative assessment in online teaching. They consider that the application of formative assessments in the online classroom is easy and does not need complicated requirements in its implementation. In addition, formative assessment can help English teachers monitor the progress of their students so that they can prepare better future lesson plans according to the conditions of their students in the online teaching and learning process.

Abstract

The “f” word (fuck) cannot be separated from its taboo nature. This can reveal more deeply about its use which can be found every day that the “f” word is not always used in negative terms and may be useful to enrich the knowledge about the characteristics of the “f” word and to reduce the stigma about it that it has more than negative purpose in expressing emotions. This research would also clarify the reasons for the versatility of the “f” word itself because of the kind that can be used to convey the sense of a specific emotional situation. This study was created because of the shortcomings that the previous study had; Horvat (2016), Jay and Janschewitz (2008), and Pluszczyk (2015) who have not studied the function of the “f” word in detail. So the motivation is created with documentation technique and applying the framework of Shiedlower (1999) and Wang (2013) to further discuss that the “f” word can be flexible in terms of word elements and their function in this study. The results have 6 different types of word element and 4 functions of “f” word swearing

For the findings, analysis and discussion Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) based on Fairclough’s Three Dimension Approach is applied. The analysis reveals that while circulating and advertising of Kool shaving foam/cream the advertisers have concurrently disseminated patriarchal ideologies and masculine discourses that have long been being lived out in our society as discursive practices.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the life of the young wife that is clipped by many “othering” factors that prevent her from becoming a Self. The analysis is focused on the “othering” factors and the impacts on the young wife and on her relationship with her sick husband. The analysis is done through the perspective of existentialism combining the existentialism of Sartre and Beauvoir. Since the focus is on the female character, the particular perspective used is on the existential feminism focusing on the “woman-being-for-others” mode of being. The methods of research are the combination of library research method with its close-reading technique, the qualitative method, and the contextual method of literary analysis. The result shows that it is difficult for a wife to be a Self when she has to face many “othering” factors such as the husband’s illness, the doctors’ suggestion to move to a temperate climate State, the new environment, and the death of the husband while they are still on the train. These “othering” factors do not only clip the wife’s socialization, love and relationship with her husband, and anticipation to return home, but also clip the wife’s life so that she will never have a chance to be a Self forever.

Abstract

The authors’ pre-observation showed that when students learn listening skills, the students faced some difficulties. The students found difficulty expressing their ideas because they found many complex vocabularies, the audio text uses advanced grammar, and the native speaker speaks too fast. Therefore, to solve those students’ problems, the authors proposed to develop the appropriate listening worksheet for the English education study program of IAIN Palopo. Then, the authors applied Research and Development method and used the ADDIE model. 18 students of the English education study program IAIN Palopo were involved as the research subject. The research instruments used were observation and questionnaire. From observing, analysing students’ needs, developing the materials, evaluating expert judgments, conducting try-out materials, revising the product, the final product of this study is listening worksheets stored in a compact disc. The worksheets consist of a course grid, learning objective, language note, pre-activity, whilst-activity and post-activity. The authors expect that this worksheet will be useful for EFL teachers whose students' listening skills are still below the expected level of competence.
