Abstract

This study discusses the meaning shifts found in the Indonesian translation of Jenny Han‘s To All the Boys I‟ve Loved Before (2014). Shifts, including meaning shifts, often occur in the process of translation of literary works like novel. There are three types of meaning shifts: from general to specific, from specific to general, and shifts caused by socio-cultural factors. This paper examines the meaning shifts in the translation of To All the Boys I‟ve Loved Before from English to Indonesian. The research questions are: 1) what are the meaning shifts found in the Indonesian translation of To All the Boys I‟ve Loved Before?, and 2) what are the causes of those meaning shifts? By means of purposively sampling and comparing the English and Indonesian versions of the novel, it was found 100 sentences with meaning shifts, 13 sentences of which are of from general to specific type, 11 from specific to general, and 76 caused by sociocultural factors. The meaning shifts from general to specific occur because one word in the SL refers to more than one word in the TL, or because one word describing one particular concept in the SL culture is equivalent to several sub-concepts in the TL culture. The meaning shifts form specific to general occur because some sentences have the words that are the name of things that do not exist or are not originated from Indonesia or English words that have equivalents that are more general in Indonesian. For the last category, the writer identifies five specific factors of the shifts, which are the untranslatable idioms or figurative language, parts of the SL culture that are different from the TL culture, English slang or words that has inappropriate equivalents in Indonesian, the contexts of the sentences, and unspecific reasons.

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.

The data were then analyzed to classify the kinds of rhyme and their functions and also to identify the linguistic deviation the author uses to form the rhymes.

Those rhymes are utilized to unite the poems, to reinforce and emphasize the author‘s intended meaning, to explain the implied sense and feeling, to clarify the imagery for the readers, to visualize the atmosphere of the poems, and also to achieve the poetic and musical functions. Moreover, in forming those rhymes, he employs phonological deviation, lexical deviation, grammatical deviation, semantic deviation, dialectal deviation, and deviation of historical period as his style of writing poems in Through the Looking-Glass novel.

Abstract

Up to now the results of teaching and learning process related to the students’ engagement and readiness to study as perceived by junior high school students have not been satisfying yet. The students’ engagement and  readiness are not considered as important elements before going through the lesson.  Students are mostly considered as empty vessels who are ready to be filled with knowledge by English teachers. As a matter of fact, students need encouraging since at the beginning of the lesson in order to  achieve their maximum capacity in learning. Regarding with those important elements, there is an interesting teaching sequence namely E-S-A teaching sequence proposed by Harmer (2007) which can create a very interesting and succesful teaching and learning process. This  paper therefore discusses the application of E-S-A teaching sequence which includes the students’ engagement during the teaching learning process, and the kinds of E-S-A teaching sequences for teaching junior high school students. The engagement indicators indentified five criteria such as body language, consistent focus, verbal participation, student’s confidence, fun and excitement.  The data were taken from the two English teachers as the subjects of this study. The two English teachers’ performance towards the application of E-S-A teaching sequence were analyzed and compared. The result of this study presents the students’ engagement during the teaching and learning process and various kinds of E-S-A teaching sequence which were employed by English teachers to teach students as appropriate.

Abstract

This article is an abstract of research conducted at French Language Department of Semarang State University. This research itself was intended to discover how far schemata (one’s prior knowledge) influence ability in understanding a passage. Reading comprehension requires not only linguistic competence but also non-linguistic competence. It happens that one does not understand a passage notwithstanding his grammatical mastery. In this research, two groups of students were used as control and experiment classes respectively. With the help of t-test, pre-test score average and post-test average were compared and analyzed to find out whether or not schematic-based model gives rise to students’ reading performance.
