Abstract

Social caring can be interpreted as affection and attention to other people which can later be manifested in an appreciating, accepting, and helping behavior. The behavior is not automatically possessed by each individual. Instead, it should be learnt, understood, internalized, and implemented in daily life. This article aims at discussing the strategies to enhance students social caring through multicultural awareness in language learning. Social caring serves as character values which appreciates diversity. It needs to be internalized from the very early age so that each individual understands how to deal with diversity. One of the alternatives in supporting the implementation of social care character is through multicultural-based learning activities. Hopefully, this type of learning leads students to appreciate diversity.  Keywords: character, social caring,  multicultural-based activities

Abstract

AbstractContrastive Analysis, Transfer Analysis, Error Analysis, and Interlanguage are methods used for second language learning investigation. They constitute evolutionary phases in the attempt to understand and explain the nature of the target language learners' performance. Each theory has its own view, especially in the attitude toward learners' errors and the explanatory hypotheses regarding the sources of errors. They also appear to have one goal, that is, an attempt to facilitate the process of target language learning or teaching by studying learners' errors. They are complement to one another; they constitute four phases with one goal.Contrastive analisis aims to provide teachers and/or textbook writers with information that can be utilized in the preparation of instructional materials, the planning of courses, and the development of classroom techniques. Contranstive studies are carried out in order to describe the differences between learners' native language amd the target language. They believe that it is on these differences that the learning difficulties lie, consequently errors exist. Transfer analysis is a new lebel given to contrastive analysis. Other sister terms are language transfer and crosslinguistic influence. This is an analytical tool which constitutes a sub discipline within error analysis. Its basic assumption is that certain errors in learner performance are the result of native language transfer. Error Analisis disproves the predictions of theory lying behind the comparison of native language and target language. It is an experimental technique for validating the theory of transfer. Its goal is to find out something about the psycholinguistic process of language learning. It enables us to draw a certain conclusions about the strategies used by the learner in his learning process. Interlanguage is a popular term to refer to learners' versions of the target language. It usually contains elements of both the learners' native language and target language. Interlanguage is resulted from the learner's attempts to produce the target language construction. In other words, it is the product of the second language learning process.

Abstract

Abstract This study is to see the Past –ed morphological acquisition which is placed on the Stage 2 of the Processability Theory (PT). The participants of this study were 26 university students in speaking classroom at Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa University, Indonesia. The data, which was gathered from semi-structure individual interviews with several topics, were analysed using an Emergence Criterion (Pienemann, 1998).  The present study found that all participants did not acquire the Past -edon Stage 2 of English Developmental Stages. Several possible reasons were discussed in the study to find out why they were not able to produce Past –ed forms. However, the further research is also required due to the very limited research on this case.

The study aimed to describe the impact of the implementation of Problem Based Tutorial Model (PBTM) in Classroom Action Research (CAR) tutorial activities on the students’ ability in designing CAR and writing a scientific report. The model is designed to help the students to implement the concept of CAR in their own teaching, and to make the report of the study in a well-written scientific writing. The model consists of Tutorial Activity Unit, Tutorial Design Activity, Student Worksheets and Evaluation Design. The results of study showed that after the implementation of the model the students were able to design a class room action research well. Each part of the report was written appropriately. Part I consists of introduction, part II (review of the related literature), and part III (results and discussion). The first study was done with students of PGSD at Magelang learning cluster. The average scores of the reports was 87, whereas those done in Temanggung was 87,43. This result showed the increase of the students’ ability in writing a scientific report. Furthermore, the impact of the implementation of the model in Pokjar Temanggung showed higher scores than that of the previous implementation (in Pokjar Magelang) with the level of confidence  99%.

Secondly, students’ mastery of complex sentences containing noun clauses, adjective clauses, and adverb clauses was good. Their mastery of complex sentence containing multiple clause structures, however, was surprisingly very low despite that the students had obtained relatively good results on the three above-mentioned basic types of complex sentence. Keywords: Mastery, complex sentences, noun clauses, adjective clauses, adverb clauses, multiple clause structures
