Abstract

This study discusses the rhetoricalfeatures ofBarack Obama's and Hillary Clinton's debates. This debate was carried out during the Democratic campaign period on American presidential election in 2008. The main focus of this dissertation is on the examination of the patterns of Communicative purposes or 'moves' and their subsequent elements or 'steps' of the arguments. The analysis includes the examination of communicative purposes and persuasive values of the texts, and linguistic features used to materialise the communicative purposes and persuasive values. The problem statements of the study are: 1/ What are the rhetorical features realized in Barack Obama's and Hillary Clinton's debates during Campaign Period on American Presidential Election in 2008?, 21 From the rhetoricalfeatures perspective, how can Barack Obama's and Hillary Clinton's debates attract the audience?, 3/ Pedagogically, what lessons can language learners obtain from the debate between Obama and Hillary Clinton? This study found that macro rhetorical structure of the debate (ie. Initiation, Response, and Feedback) is relatively similar to that of a common debate except that, unlike in common debate, the Initiation is given by moderators and questioners, the Responses given by debaters, and Feedback can be given by moderator, questioner, or debaters. In this debate, there is no interruption while the debater was speaking. The debater would speak only if he/she was given an opportunity to speak. And the other difference from the common debate is that Barack Obama's and Hillary Clinton's debates had already been designed by the Dream Team before the debate occured. However, the communicative purposes and persuasions in the debates are relatively the same. The debaters persuade the audience to give them votes in the American presidential election in 2008. The differences are found in the way that rhetorical devicess use linguistic resources to realize the communicative purposes and persuations in the arguments. The rhetorical differences are caused by the differences in the arguments of offering the approaches to solve the Americans' problems. The pedagogical implication of this study is that the debate genre needs to be explicitly taught to Indonesian students, especially university students in order to give them more acces to the content of debate, and to develop skills needed by Indonesian lecturers. For this purpose, an appropriate approach needs to be developed; that is to teach the generic features of debate such as in speaking.

Abstract

One important theme attached to pop culture is the politics of representation and sub-cultural identity. The pop singer Madonna and then the Spice Girls are frequently regarded as the representation of modern women offering a different face of feminism ideology. Successfully entering the market competition, Madonna, through her cry of 'material girl', characterizes herself as an independent woman in the still dominating patriarchal world while challenging the burden of morality placed on the shoulders of women. She asks young women to rebel against male-centred traditions and unashamedly exposes her sensuality as a source of power and even domination, or in short celebrating 'being women'. The flag of Girl Power is also waved by the 1990'sBritish female singers, the Spice Girls, who call young girls to "be strong, be brave, be loud and control your own destiny. Believe that your self can do anything you want to do and be confident. We have to be independent, but it does not mean that you don't need a boy" (Swastika 2004: 66).

Abstract

The importance of mastering English for Indonesian students is getting higher due to the globalization in all sectors. One measure to improve the mastery of English done by the government is by implementing the English National Examination with a passing grade of 4.25. There are two kinds of English National Examinations in the school year 2004/2005 and 2005/2006. One is based on the 1994 Curriculum and the other is based on the 2004 Curriculum. The English National Examination in Indonesia has included listening section since the school year 2003/2004. Ever since the application of the examination in the school year 2004/2005 there are many controversies about the National Examination with the passing grade of 4.25 nationally, but the government still goes on with the National Examination because it believes that the advantages outweigh the disadvantageous. The controversies, however, will decrease if the government does not use it to determine a students graduation.
