Abstract

This study examined idea representation and summarizingstrategies in article summaries written by Indonesian EFLstudents. When the study was conducted, the students wereattending a graduate course on “the Teaching of Writing” in theGraduate Program in ELT at State University of Malang,Indonesia. This study describes the students’ article summariesin terms of idea representation based on the ICF (‘introduction,’‘content,’ and ‘finalization’) frame and strategies applied in thearticle summaries. Data in the form of article summaries writtenby 16 students were collected at the end of the course. Theresults of data analysis show that most of the Indonesian EFLstudents could successfully represent the the ideas from thejournal articles into their summaries. However, not all of thestudents consider that ‘finalization’ component in the frameneeds to be included in their summaries. In terms of strategies insummarizing, most of the students made summaries by copyingideas and words with no or some modification, whereas onlysome of them write summaries by using their own expressions.This means that the students found that summarizing is not aneasy task. Therefore, this study recommends EFL teachers toteach their students strategies to summarize successfully. It alsoencourages EFL teachers to remind the students to use their ownexpressions in their article summaries in order to avoidplagiarism.Keywords: Idea representation; strategies in summarizing;article summaries; journal articles; IndonesianEFL students

Abstract

In this paper, the author opens by noting how culture influences outattitudes, emotions, beliefs, and values in pervasive ways. She thenasks how and why myths and generalizations emerge about theculture of various nation-states, regions, or even specific cocultureswithin these nations and regions. The simple answer is weform generalizations and develop myths to create comprehensibleframeworks of comparison regarding the systems of values andbeliefs held, and the codes of conduct followed by the majority ofthe people whose language we teach or study. We seek to createthese frameworks to interconnect the teaching of culture andlanguage, for usually language is taught as a system in (and of)itself, with its rules, exceptions, right answers and wrong answers.If culture is taught, it is usually infused into the language class inone of four common approaches. The author cites these fourcommon approaches to teaching culture: (1) the FrankensteinApproach, (2) the 4-F Approach, (3) the Tour-Guide Approach,and (4) the “By-The-Way” Approach); she warns of the inherentrisk involved in adopting any or all of these facile approaches, thatrisk being the creation and promulgation of cultural generalizations(even “myths”) that need tempering, and eventually revising.Referencing myths can make the teaching of culture easier, but itcan create problems when reality enters the scene. As an example,the author delves into a number of myths promulgated aboutAmericans university culture; these myths constitute sweepinggeneralizations that demand more greater and greater refinementand “reality checks.” The author ends with noting that “Americanculture” is a moving target that needs to be viewed as an evolvingentity that will continue to evolve and change as geopolitical,national, and regional events surface and cause continuous changein that moving target, American cultures.Keywords: myths, approaches to teaching culture;American cultures.

Abstract

The current study investigates state and local polices that regulateacademic writing and how they are appropriated in an English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) teacher education program in Indonesia.The significance of the current study lies in its affirmation to thenotion that policy appropriations are multi-layered. That is,government policies may or may not be translated into local de jureand de facto regulations, and in turn these local policies evolve asthey are used and negotiated among colleagues and/or withstudents. In an attempt to understand the layers of appropriations,interviews with four local instructors were conducted. This researchwill pave the way for further praxes to provide quality academicwritinginstructions, in the light of, or regardless of, the stateregulations.Keywords: policy appropriation, second language academicwriting, publication, agency
