Abstract

This paper focuses on how to motivate my struggling students for whom English is a second language when they read canonical texts written in English. Students in English departments are required to read English canonical texts, but most of them find this task very challenging. One strategy teachers can use to motivate students to read is to pair the English canonical texts with young adult texts. Important in these instructional choices are the pre-reading, during-reading, and after-reading activities. Pre-reading activities are intended to prepare readers to enter the story world During-reading activities are important to make students understand the stories better. Some of the duringactivities include using role plays and teaching media to increase students' understanding of the characters and the plots in the books. In the post-reading activities, students can write journals or quotes they find interesting from the book. Giving students more varieties in book choices and activities can, hopefully, make them independent good readers.

Abstract

Teaching and testing are inseparable elements in pedagogical world irrespective of the course a teacher teaches. Phrased differently, there is no teaching without testing and vice versa. The results of testing should ideally motivate students in learning and give better perspectives to teachers on _how to devise a better teaching-learning. Accordingly, a teacher needs a sort of test that can sufficiently assess students' actual achievement in learning, in their given courses. One of which is so-called "Oral Test", the test that can give a feel of confidence that the test really measures what is purported to measure and provide relatively consistent results over the time (validity and reliability respectively), which, in the end can opaquely discriminate the proficiency levels amongst the students. Thus, this paper is a humble attempt to juxtapose leaching and testing and to run a critical diagnosis on the fruitfulness of oral test, the test type worth trying.

Abstract

This study focuses on looking at how Indonesian students view themselves as Indonesians and as members of certain ethnic groups in relation to their ability to speak in the local/heritage languages.  This article also covers their attitude towards their heritage languages in comparison to English, as a foreign language. The data for this study were collected through paper-based questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. It is found that participants with the ability to speak in their local language felt more confident in stating their ethnic identity. There was also a lead to confusion of their ethnic identities, for those few who can't speak any local language. These youths are proud Indonesians, with their Indonesian languages. However, as predicted by Rini (2014), among other languages in Indonesia, English will still be a more important foreign language. This study adds that English appears to be more important than any local language to these Indonesian students.

Abstract

The use of mother tongue in the EFL class is a controversial issue and the mother tongue seems to have no role to play. The idea of avoiding the mother tongue in language teaching is closely connected with the appearance of the direct method which emphasizes the use of English only in the English classroom. Many educators support the notion that within the ESL class, the only acceptable medium of instruction is English since it can be justified on pedagogical grounds. The use of mother tongue is considered as the teachers failure to teach English properly. However, the reality is different. As what Harbord (1987:351) says, there is an inevitable interaction between themother tongue and the target language, particularly in the EFL classroom. It is not a provocative way to use the mother tongue in ESL classroom but rather a justification for its limited use in certain situations The aims of our study are to find out the attitudes of both students and English teachers toward the use of Bahasa Indonesia in the English class, and if so how frequent and on what occasions it is used.

Abstract

Even-Zohar is highly regarded among scholars of Translation Studies for his theoretical contributions in the area of "Polysystem Theory". This paper presents an introduction to EvenZohar's more recent work in the area of"cuIture research" (which he distinguishes from Cultural Studies). It locates his thinking within a framework deriving from Russian Formalism and, more recently, Russian Semiotics. The major focus in his Papers in Culture Research (200412005) is on culture as a socio-semiotic system, allowing for both reflection and action. A significant term in discussing systems is "repertoire", the rules and materials which govern the production and use of given cultural objects. Even-Zohar's papers seek to place repertoire within a broader framework, and to allow for the invention and transfer of repertoires between various social groups. The work of idea-makers is particularly important in this transfer. Tile paper concludes with a consideration of the relevance of "culture research" to Translation Studies. It suggests that his ideas are of limited use but may provide the basis for further reflection on the roles of translators and translations, especially in new nation states.

Abstract

In the era of ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), Indonesian job seekers must have English competency. Without mastering English language, they will be defeated by foreign ready-to-use job seekers. It can be detected in the job interview that their English competency is low. It is caused by a serious condition that they have no effective time to learn English in formal or non-formal English schools. Hence, an effort to improve their English speaking skill is needed. One of the ways to improve English speaking skill is by Self-Access Language Learning (SALL) through audio podcast-based learning media. By using audio podcast-based learning media, the job seekers can practice their English speaking ability by themselves anytime and anywhere. This research conducted an action research to investigate the improvement of English job interview skill of an interviewee with intermediate level of English, which was focused on the improvement of the interviewee abilities to answer the interviewer’s questions. To assess the quality of the English job interview, the researchers used an interview quality parameter designed by Overseas Programming and Training Support (OPATS) Peace Corps (2005). It is based on the assessment of function and content. The result shows that after two treatments, the job seeker (interviewee) improves her English job interview skill. The improvement can be seen from the changes according to the functional ability; it is shown from the change of answer style from descriptive into narrative way and the changes according to the content; it is shown from the change of answer content from daily routine into professional rational. Therefore, the researchers recommend the Indonesian job seekers to use audio podcast-based learning media by SALL to develop their English job interview skill.

Abstract

Over the lastfew decades, two majorforces affecting the lives of second language learners have emerged in educational systems throughout the world: the increasing diversity of student populations and emerging technological advancements. The juxtaposition of these two phenomena presents an opportunity to bring together two educational movements: multicultural education and technology education. These entities are examined as parallel social movements whose convergence would provide the momentum for needed changes in today's educational systems.Banks, J. A.

Abstract

Mahesh Dattani, is an avant-garde Indian English dramatist known for his radical and unconventional dramatic themes. His plays are characterized by an extremely sensitive temperament that delves into the intricacies of the human nature and strives to expose the hypocrisy of the urban life and society. This paper discusses his play The Girl Who Touched the Stars as a quest for a lost identity. In doing so, the paper sheds light upon the underlying themes of gender discrimination, misogyny and role-playing that the playwright uses in this play to show how much these evils are rampant even amongst the educated classes of the society. Specifically, the paper explores the deconstruction of identity of the protagonist as employed by the playwright and examines the implications this technique has on the narrative of the play. The interconnection between the role-playing and the inherent theme of gender discrimination is also analyzed in order to see how these elements complement each other. Also, the paper comments on the efficacy of radio drama as a medium for handling a sensitive theme like this.
