Abstract

A careful analysis of the paper entitled “The Basic Concept of Narratology and Narrative” (2020), authored by Devi Sari Panggabean, Rahmadsyah Rangkuti, published in Volume 14, Issue 2. of Language Circle, pp. 184-190 has led us to the conclusion that this contribution was essentially similar to another paper authored by M. Amerian, L. Jorfi entitled “Key concepts and basic notes on narratology and narrative” (2015), which had been published in Scientific Journal of Review, http://sjournals.com/index.php/SJR/article/view/1927/pdf.  One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication in this journal is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.

Abstract

This article is drawn from a larger ethnographic case study of a state senior high school in a city in the province of Central Java, Indonesia. The study was classroom discourse analysis, focusing on identifying and examining classroom interactional and pedagogical practices in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) lessons. CLIL is a type of bilingual education in which some content areas (such as Sciences) are learned through a foreign language. The research participants in this study were Indonesian teachers of Mathematics, Biology, and Geography who were encouraged to teach their subjects in English language because of the political ideology and educational policy at the time the data collected. The data emerged from classroom observations notes, lesson transcripts, and post-lesson interviews with video-stimulated recall. The interpretation and analysis of the data involved cross-checking different sources of evidence. Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis (2006) was employed in the analysis of the data. The finding reveals that there was a salient pattern in the interactional and pedagogical practices of the subject teachers which can be called safetalk. The finding also shows that safetalk hinder the students’ second language acquisition and development. This article offers deeper insights on the interaction and pedagogy in CLIL classes, which can promote critical reflection and contribute to future English bilingual teacher education, particularly in the Indonesian educational contexts.

Abstract

A work of literature cannot be separated from its time and place, in which it is made. Therefore, to get a vivid understanding of a literary work, some certain techniques are needed. One of them is by breaking down the social and cultural layers of the work. It can also be applied in Dickens’ novel Great Expectations. By breaking down and analyzing its social and cultural layers, it can be found that the novel reflects the portrait of Industrial Revolution era and its consequences such as dissolution of family units, illness, poverty, mutual exploitation, human passions, expectations, and selfishness as well.   Keyword: Industrial Revolution, society, culture, zeitgeist, social and cultural layers

Abstract

The Blind Side is a movie derived from Michael Lewis’ The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game novel. This movie tells about Michael Oher, a poor black teenager, who is cared for by the country because his mother is a drug addict. The practices of American Values (Paul, 2014; Datesman, Kearny, Crandall, Kearny, 2005; Doran Litrell, 2013) can be found through the characters of Michael Oher, Burt Cotton, Leigh Anne Tuohy, and S.J. Tuohy. The data found in this movie is strengthened by Boggs and Petrie (2008)’s movie studies. The findings indicate that not every character in Hancock’s The Blind Side practices American values. Equality seems to be Americans’ ‚homework‛ evidenced by the Oher’s struggle to be accepted as a part of Wingate Christian School. Oher’s hard work, however, is fruitful when he is chosen as a quarterback which then brings material wealth to him. All in all, Hancock’s The Blind Side is a paradoxical example of American values practiced by the society.

Abstract

Speaking is one of the language skills. It becomes an important means of communication, from which interlocutors can understand the intended meanings. The children speaking skill is influenced by many factors, one of which is the birth order. It describes how a particular child is born from the same mother such as the eldest, the middle, and the youngest child. This will actually shape character and ability of the children. Based on its function, a language is a means of communication used by individuals in their interaction or relationship with others. The speaking ability is not only related to the birth order, but also some other factors such as intelligence. The middle child usually has more speaking skill compared to the eldest and youngest child. He/ she can communicate from different directions, and his/her position gives its benefits. The middle child can develop the speaking skill from parents, older brothers/ sisters, and younger brothers/ sisters. No matter the position of the child is, his/ her speaking ability can optimally be achieved if the parents provide opportunities to communicate and practice based on his/ her needs.

Abstract

Danmu denotes user-generated dynamic and contextualised comments scrolling across the screen. Owing to its resemblance to a bullet curtain, such a text-over-screen technology is referred to as ‘bullet comment/message’ or ‘barrage subtitling’. Since being adopted from Japan, danmu has expeditiously developed from a niche subcultural entity into a prominent property of Chinese online video culture. Danmu obtains popularity among young audiences, in that it establishes social media co-viewing, creates a sense of belonging, allows self-expression and facilitates social connectedness. Moreover, danmu enables creators to demonstrate a sense of existence, especially via informative, alerting and spoiler comments. The popularity of danmu in China is ascribed to diversified and concise literacy practice. More significantly, it is attributed to linguistic and cultural prerequisites: the Chinese written language is featured by a high information density and robust parafoveal preview effects; the Chinese culture is marked by a high level of polychronicity and collectivism, as well as conspicuous social and peer pressure.
