Abstract

This article examines the absurd characters in Bakdi Soemantos selected short stories in the light of character reinforcement. Through the use of analogy of name, environment, and interlocking relationships among the characters, it is revealed that these characters reflect contemporary societys aspirations and expectation of their exemplary leaders or individuals with high authority. The presence of such weird but wise characters discloses the blurred boundaries of sanity and insanity in striving for life meaning as well as meaning of life

Abstract

Identified as the core skill in academic setting. the importance of reading skill is deniable. This study investigated reading strategies employed by 8th graders of a public school in Bandung. It aimed at identifying the most frequent-used reading strategies and discovering their similarities and differences between higher and lower achievers. This study employed questionnaires and interviews to collect data. The findings of this study suggested that cognitive strategies are the most frequently-used strategies. Both higher and lower achievers were identified using nine high-frequency strategies. The differences were in identifying appropriateness and willingness to use the strategies. and students' intreat in reading materials. As a conclusion. higher and lower achievers might have different reading strategies due to time allotment. reading frequency, and strategic investment. Therefore. highlighting reading strategies is vital. and having a more comprehensive. integrated class room based reading study is strongly required.

Abstract

English teachers who teach English as second language within a foreign language context such as in Indonesia should realize that the goal of the English teaching is not only 'knowing' the language but the acquisition of that language. In order to allow the acquisition lake place in the classroom learning setting, comprehensible input should be provided. As suggested by Krashen, L2 learners gain the comprehensible input through what they read and what they listen. Have English teachers in Indonesia provided their students such comprehensible input? This paper is inviting EIlglish teachers to have a self-reflection towards this question.

Abstract

Improving learning outcomes has always been the target of the foreign language learning practices. The central role of students in the learning process had attracted researchers to conduct research in order to increase students' success in learning. Student motivation is considered one of the factors contributing to students' success in learning a foreign language. Although there is a large body of research on motivation in second/foreign language learning, most studies were undertaken in Western contexts. There is still only a relatively small amount of research on motivation in second/foreign language learning in Asian contexts, particularly in the Indonesian context. This study investigated the motivational factors that influence first year university students' performance studying English as a foreign language (EFL) as their major. A questionnaire adapted from Gardner (J985), consisting of a range of motivational scales that have been widely used in studies on motivation, was utilized and students' demographic information was collected.

Abstract

Sex differences bring a consequence of difference in language use between men and women. From the long process of socio-cultural legitimization in gender, the difference is assumed predestine that gives consequence of inequality of sex treatment in language. In short, sex and gender differences pervade all aspects of language. English use between men and women manifests in phonology, morphology and vocabulary, intonation patterns, and conversational styles.

Abstract

Abstract: Students are unique with their characteristics and differences. In line with the current learning paradigm, learner-centered paradigm, teaching and learning process places greater emphasis on individuality. One of the differences is multiple intelligence types possessed by all individuals resulting in various ways of learning. Learning materials, one of the learning resources, ideally have to accommodate the students’ multiple intelligence types. However, the current learning materials contain neither sufficient reading texts nor tasks fostering their multiple intelligence types that happen in every classroom. Thus, this research intends to develop reading materials based on multiple intelligence to accommodate students’ intelligence. This research belongs to research and development of which steps are conducting a needs analysis, developing the product, getting an expert judgement, trying-out the materials and revising the product (Gall, Gall Borg, 2007). In order to develop the appropriate reading materials that meet the students’ needs, a needs analysis was initially conducted. The needs analysis was conducted in five junior high schools in Magelang district including state and private schools. The data of the needs analysis were obtained by distributing questionnaires which were used as the consideration in developing the materials. Then, the materials developed were validated by material and learning experts before being tried out at SMP N 1 Windusari, Magelang to complete and to perfect the materials. From the data analysis, the average score of the appropriateness of the content, the language, the presentation and the design of the materials was 3.54 which was classified as “very good” and “appropriate” to be implemented. Furthermore, the result indicated that the materials also fulfilled the criteria of good materials, for instance, considering that students are different. Thus, teachers and educational stakeholders should develop learning materials catering to the students’ multiple intelligence types to accommodate their differences.Key words: reading materials, differences, multiple intelligence

Abstract

This research is a preliminary study of an empirical research aimed to develop an English training model to enhance teachers’ communicative competence in bilingual schools. This preliminary study aims to give a description of the schools’ background and preparation to run bilingual programs, teachers’ background and experience in teaching using English, and the challenges related to communicative competence which are faced by teachers inside and outside the classrooms. This study was a qualitative study and the data were collected using semi-structured interview, open-ended questionnaire, and focus group discussion. This study involved 54 teachers and 5 school principals. The results of the study revealed that the schools under this study were under the category of additive bilingual education; the teachers in the bilingual programs were English and non-English Department graduates; and the challenges faced by the teachers were mostly related with their teaching experience and educational background. The findings of this study will be useful to recommend teacher trainings as a part of teachers’ professional development.

Abstract

This is a qualitative study of three pop songs rooted from the same tragic event of Eric Clapton?s son Conor who fell from the 53rd floor of his spouse?s New York apartment in March 1991. Two songs are from Clapton himself i.e. Tears in Heaven and Circus and one song from his friend Phil Collins entitled Since I Lost You. The goal of this study is to elaborate the attitude of the author through the study of formal aspects of the song such as rhyme, rhythm, tone and picth and also the metaphorical expressions in their wording. This is a library research of the three songs using a comparative technique of elaboration. The study concludes that Phil Collins as a friend who is not directly involved in the tragedy shows his sympathy through a negative and hopeless way of seeing the tragedy. He focuses more on the tragedy directly rather than the impact, psychologial process and lessons learned afterward. Eric Clapton, on the other hand, as the one who directly suffers the impact of the tragedy sees the tragic event from a more positive angle. He tries to somehow show his grief but does not want to be drifted away in this sorrow. He focuses more on the process after the tragedyby remembering the sweet moment before the tragedy (in Circus) and imagine the same sweet thing after the tragedy (in Tears in Heaven) by setting an emotional spin around the good memory and nice after life state of the child with sweet hopes and strengthening consolation
