Abstract

Many linguists have posited a number of distinct types of translation method, but almost all agree on the existence of word-for-word translation, which to some extent must be avoided to generate natural translation in the target language. Some other methods are proposed to obtain natural translation but in this paper, we refer to communicative translation (Newmark, 1988). However, it does not suggest that some other methods such as faithful or word-for-word translation are useless. It is necessary that these methods apply to the whole text, as some items require faithful or word-for-word translation as well. However, these methods must be avoided when translating culture based item, e.g an entity that does not exist in the target language. On one hand, almost all languages make use of pronouns. On the other hand, the social dynamics of pronoun itself requires translators to shift from word-for-word translation method to another method as the culture polarity shift from source to target language. The data in this research is obtained from English-Indonesian Parallel Corpus by Indonesian Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (2008), which consists of written and spoken data. The result of this research suggests that some speaker-hearer relations cannot be fully expressed by English pronouns when translated to Indonesian. There are cases when culture based polarity requires pronoun to shift to proper name. Even when pronoun-to-pronoun translation is preserved, the paradigm changes: such as inclusive/exclusiveness which functions as in/out group identity marker.

Abstract

Pre-school aged children employ certain strategies in order to acquire language, including pragmatic competence in English of pre-school aged children. The studies are to investigate the learning strategies to acquire pragmatic competence in English of pre-school aged children and to investigate the communication strategies to acquire pragmatic competence in English of pre-school aged children.The research employs a qualitative approach with sectional design. The data are spoken speeches gathered from observation of 4 children of 4, 5, 6, and 7 years old. The collected data are analyzed by using performance analysis technique. The analysis is based on linguistic behaviors and actual speeches performed by the subjects as reflection of their pragmatic competence and strategies to acquire it.The analysis of the data came up with the following finding. The learning strategies to acquire pragmatic competence consist of cognitive strategies and social strategies. The cognitive strategies contain four types: imitating speeches, repeating strategies, revising speeches and translating in the form of translation from Indonesian into English. The social strategies consist of two types requesting clarification and asking for inter-responses.Second, the communication strategies to acquire pragmatic competence of pre-school aged children  consist of two categories:non-verbal form and verbal form. The non verbalform include the use of pictures and songs and strategies of expressing speech contents.The findings contribute to the development of the theory of language acquisition strategies, particularly the theories of learning strategies and communication strategies. Practically, the findings of the study can broaden the educator’s knowledge of strategies in acquiring pragmatic competence of child learners.

(2) topic sentence is not clear because it’s not relevant to the main topic “my campus” that will be elaborated in the paragraph and the word order of the topic sentence is not well-ordered and supporting sentences are not relevant to prove the topic sentence. (3) Some of the supporting sentences are not relevant to support the topic sentence. The students have some mistakes in word choice and structures.  For example there should be written “complete facility” instead of fasilities completely. (4) topic sentence is not specific and the topic sentence and the supporting sentences are not correlated. Some of words in the text are misspelled. As the conclusion:  first there are lacks in formulating the topic sentences and supporting sentences. Second, the coherence is mostly not well-applied in each data because the supporting sentences are not well-ordered to make the data in logical order.

Abstract

AbstractCommunicative approach has become a popular method used in teaching and learning a language. This method has also been widely used in Indonesia for teaching and learning English. The basic assumption used by this method is that language is a means of communication, so that when learning a language the learners also need to engage in meaningful communicative activity. Thus, typical classroom activities involved many interactions among the language learners and the teachers, for example, role playing, information gap activities, and games. Consequently, for the success of the classroom activity, the students not only need to be taught the language skills needed but also the interpersonal skills. Interpersonal skills defines as the ability to interact effectively with someone and teamwork. Furthermore, interpersonal skills such as leveraging diversity, empathy, leadership, influence, communication, conflict management, and synergy are soft skills that students need to master, especially since Indonesia Education system decided to include soft skills in the curriculum. It means that teacher needs to use teaching methods that can develop students’ hard skills and soft skills.This presentation aims at reporting a research result that investigated the use of communicative approach to teach both language skills and interpersonal skills of the students. A literature review on the communicative approach teaching method and the importance of interpersonal skills for successful communication will be reviewed. Finally, the presentation will discuss about the practical recommendations on how to use the approach, so that it can develop both the language skills and the interpersonal skills of the students.

Abstract

This writing is a report of a minor research conducted to find out students’ meta-cognitive learning strategies toward their speaking proficiency  and  investigate some barriers in applying the meta-cognitive strategies toward their grammatical, strategic, discourse and sociolinguistic competencies. The meta-cognitive learning strategies itself, in this research, refers students’self-reflection, self-responsibility and initiative, as well as goal setting and time management,(Hismanouglu,2000). Oxford (1990)  adds that meta-cognitive learning strategies include recognizing when a strategy is needed, selecting strategies, memorizing or rehearsing strategies, and assessing the helpfulness of strategies. So, in this study, the researchers limits on what kind of meta-cognitive learning strategies that the students use to encounter some problems in learning speaking toward their speaking proficiency  and the barriers that they find in applying the strategiesinclude in meta-cognitive strategies. This idea, in line  with the theory from Oxford (1990) about three majors strategies in learning English as foreign language: centering the learning, arranging and planning the learning and evaluating the learning. The researchers tried to focus in the students’ meta-cognitive strategies toward their speaking proficiency: grammatical competencies, strategic competencies, discourse  competencies and sociolinguistic competencies. It means that the researchers elaborate the students’ meta-cognitive learning strategies in mastering those four competences in speaking proficiency. As it is a case study, the researcher involved ten students in the speaking 4 class at the English education department. The choice of these subjects is based on their speaking fluency which is better than other friends in the classroom. This is important choosing the ten students, because in implementing meta-cognitive  learning strategies, the students should have better ability in finishing their speaking tasks.. The data were collected through classroom observation, informal talk with the lecturer and interview with students (ten students). Further, the data analysis was conducted qualitatively and done over the course of the study. On going data analysis and interpretations were based mainly on observation notes (note taking), informal conversations (interview)with both lecturer and students. And, the data analysis was done through expert judgment and theory which is using triangulation intechniques and source. Results of this study reveal that most of the students  (70%) centered their learning before the lecturer explaining the tasks. There were 50 % students who arranged and planned their learning in accomplishing their tasks. However ,  the students did not  apply all six  minor strategies of the second major in meta-cognitive learning strategies,. They skipped  “identifying the purpose of the task and setting the objective of the learning of tasks”.  There were 50% students who applied the last  strategy in mata-cognitive learning strategies,  evaluating their learning by having self monitoring and self evaluation. In terms of barriers toward speaking profiency, the interview conducted show that the students got barriers in discourse and strategic competence that refers to the ability  to keep communication in meaningful way, to know when and how to take the floor, how to keep a conversation going, how to terminate the conversation and how to clear up the communication break down as well as comprehension problems.
