Abstract

Learning kanji is generally difficult for the Japanese learners because its figure, stroke order, and pronounce (onyomi and kunyomi) are difficult to remember. Moreover, every object in the world is presented by kanji. Thus, practically there are large in numbers of kanji. Remembering all the kanji and also the jukugo is not easy. Most of the students may easily forget it soon after they learn it. Therefore, they have to find effective, fun, and easy learning methods to improve their ability in mastering kanji. The bottom line is that they must consistently review the kanji they have learned to ensure that they would never-ever forget them. Otherwise, no matter how memorable the kanji are, they make up its nature to start forgetting and lose track of them once they start learning their 500th kanji and beyond. Flashcards could be a good solution to overcome the problem. It could help students consistently review the kanji, especially the jukugo.

Abstract

There are four problems in translating a text. The first and main problem is the language factor. The second problem is a social one, the third is the problem that has something to do with religion or belief, and the fourth one is the cultural problem. In short, the problems have a close relation to the language and culture. So, a translator should have a good mastery of the two languages, namely, the source language and the target one. This article discusses the problems of translation having to do with culture and its impacts to translation. The strategy of a translator to overcome the problems is determined by his/her ideology: domestication or foreignization.

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

Teaching Practice program (PPL) must be done by the students of English Education Department of Muria Kudus University as one of the requirements to finish their study of under graduate program in English Education. PPL implementation is done in some schools that have been determined before by the department. PPL is a training program for students which offer an opportunity for the students to apply the theory and their knowledge about education as well as the implementation of English teaching directly in front of the students at schools where they have to do the PPL. As teacher trainees, the English Education Department students, do not have sufficient experience in managing a class, especially in providing effective instruction in the classroom. Providing good instructions is one of the important aspects of the success of the learning process, so it is important for teachers to understand how to organize the lesson and provide classroom interaction in a proper and effective way. The focus of this study is to explain how the classroom management techniques applied by the teacher candidates (PPL) in teaching and learning and the improvements of the students during the lesson. As the PPL program manager, Department of English Education of UMK can use this study as an evaluation by understanding the weaknesses and problems experienced by students teacher during teaching practice program, so the Department will be able to make better achievement through the implementation of the program so that students will be well prepared to carry out the teaching process in the classroom.

For intra-sentential code-switching, it was found 39 utterances or 53.42% and for inter-sentential code-switching, it was found 34 utterances or 46.58%.  The most significant function of code-switching is that to emphasize the message which totally holds the highest percentage: 32.05%. The most significant factor of code-switching is that repetition used for clarification which totally holds the highest percentage: 34.25%.

Abstract

This study addresses how deictic expressions of person, place and time account for vision and attitudes of a speaker in speeches on certain issues. In this qualitative study, the data consisted of four speeches delivered by Xanana Gusmao of Timor Leste. The result of the study shows that the speaker used various types of deixis, including person, place, and time deixis. Person deixis was used to introduce Timorese people, whereas more time deixis referring to present time was used to focus his attention on the present situation and did not want to turn back to the past experience with full of political and social conflicts. The speaker’s vision is reflected in the use of the first person plural ‘we’ more than the first person singular ‘I’ or ‘me’. This indicates that the speaker represents himself as an ‘insertive’ leader. He is also a sort of leader with more future vision, indicated by the use of more time deixis referring to the present and future time than those of past time, so he wanted to bring his people and nation to face the future to develop the nation and to build better relationship with its neighbouring states.

Abstract

As the home of many ethnic groups, Indonesia is a showcase of diversity. On the one hand Indonesiais benefited in many crucial sectors such as economy and tourism from the rich diversity of its natural and human resources but on the other hand the country is facing a high risk of intergroup friction. The goverment of Indonesia attempted to end social conflict and disintegration in many ways, from interfaith dialogue to military occupation. Despite of all progress, little has been done to find a fundamental resolution. This study examines the importance of paradigm change in understanding conflict. The New Order approach in conflict resolution suggests that conflict is destructive and therefore needs to be avoided. However, conflict can also be constructive and in order to deal with conflict in a constructive way, institutions or organizations must be aware of this two-fold concerns and citizens must be educated in the skill to face conflict. Going deeper in the plea that education constructs a nation, using the same analogy, peace education should also construct a peaceful nation. Finally, this study proposes the use of multicultural literature to reconstruct the notion of conflict through the practice of multicultural education in early childhood education.
