Abstract

Translating Indonesian texts into English versions is a complicated task for students to do. It isshown by them when they do translation in the classroom. The problems usually come intotheir mind when they have to search equivalent words, appropriate grammar and acceptedstructure for target language they will produce. This scene can be observed when they dotranslating activity individually. They just do it themselves without doing collaboration with theirfriends. They only look up a dictionary and think of it themselves. In this situation a teacher justassigns the task and assesses it, no more to do. As a result, the translation products of thestudents are poor. Therefore, in order to improve the students’ translation ability and quality oftranslation, the teacher should teach the students translation by using a Cooperative WorkProcedure (CWP) in their translation process. This procedure can lead the students be able totranslate well and produce good translation products because they do translating process in acollaborative group.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the destructive impacts of the beauty myth on the existential freedom of Pecola, the young, poor, black female character, in Toni Morrison‘s ―The Bluest Eye.‖ The analysis is done through feminist criticism supported by the concept of the beauty myth and beauty as well as Sartrean concept of existentialism. The result shows that the widely spread beauty myth blocks Pecola‘s existential freedom on the physical, consciousness, or social life level. All these lead to young Pecola‘s ruined existence.

Abstract

Reading texts for literary experience is different from reading them for information. Actually, there are two general stances (efferent and aesthetic stances) readers may choose when constructing meaning and responding to literature. In the efferent stance the reader’s purpose is primarily to gain information and analyze the author technique. The emphasis is on recalling, paraphrasing, and analyzing details. In the aesthetic stance the reader’s purpose is primarily to “live through” the experience presented in the text and to associate the text with personal experience and feelings. The emphasis is on personally connecting with the text as one reads, developing deeper insights into the human experience and responding thoughtfully to the ideas and insights presented. Thus, it is necessary to apply a strategy in teaching reading literary texts. One of useful strategies for comprehending and discussing literary selections is a snowballing strategy. To apply the strategy in teaching reading literary texts, action research is used as a research methodology. This research is carried out in one of the 4th semester classes, literature study program, Semarang State University.

Abstract

Twitter plays an important role in today’s world. Its role among politicians and those who are interested in politics is more obvious. Due to its importance and special characteristics such as character limits, it has drawn the attention of many researchers including linguists and ELT researchers. This study aimed to compare the perceptions of native and nonnative speakers in identifying speech acts in Donald Trump’s tweets. The subjects of this study were nine English native speakers and twenty nonnative English teachers who were Turkish citizens. Thirty- seven tweets of Donald Trump over the course of a week were selected and the participants were asked to identify the speech acts of the tweets based on the speech acts taxonomy by Searle (1976). The analysis of the data revealed that both native and nonnative speakers of English identified the speech acts of the large majority of the tweets very differently. These differences were partly due to lack of enough political as well as background knowledge and partly due to lack of contextual variables.
