Nowadays the educational paradigm has changed from passive learning into active learning where learners are actively involved in teaching and learning process. Internet, as one of the information and communication products, is believed to be able to facilitate an active and interactive teaching and learning process. One of the examples is the use of Learning Management System (LMS). LMS is viewed appropriate to be applied in teaching English especially the writing skill in which learners need more time and more exercises to improve their skills. The limited time of classroom meeting makes the need impossible to be fulfilled. By using LMS, the teaching and learning process can not only depend on the classroom meeting but also can be done outside the classroom anytime and anywhere. In this quasi-experimental research the researchers were eager to know the effectiveness of active learning by using LMS to improve students’ writing skill, especially in argumentative writing. The data was analyzed with ANCOVA using SPSS version 20. The result shows that the value of F-value is 5.505 and the significant value is .021 which is less than .05, and the F-value is higher than F-table (3.94). It means that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that teaching writing by using LMS is more effective than conventional classroom meeting.

The meaning of relationship in Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephant" Susanty Susanty
Journal on English as a Foreign Language Vol 2, No 2 (2012): September
Publisher : Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Palangka Raya, Indonesia

This article is intended to postulate the position of women described well by Hemingway as a girl called Jig in “Hills like White Elephants” as a marginal part of a patriarchal society. Difficulty is found in describing the exact nature of a man-woman relationship in Hemingway as the woman characters are so thinly portrayed. “Hills like White Elephants” suggests a relationship between the meaning of white elephants and the man’s attitude toward the unborn child. The relationship presents the representation of boredom, desperateness of life, the sense of lost happiness, and the awareness of the failure of love. The story also can be defined into a two-part theme. The first is a commentary about the way selfishness can corrupt a relationship. The second comments on life and what it means to bear life.

Publisher : Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Palangka Raya, Indonesia

This research is conducted to find an effective technique to teach speaking of second semester students. To collect the data, this research using pre- and post-test. The treatment is look-up technique in which the learners work in pairs facing each other. One is the reader, the other is the listener. The reader holds the book containing the dialogue at about chest level and slightly to the left. This enables the reader to look at the book and then look at the listener, moving only her eyes and not having to move her head at all. The reader looks at the book and tries to remember as long a phrase as possible. The reader can look at the book for as long as is necessary. Then, when ready, she/he looks at the listener and says the phrase. While she/he speaks, she/he does not look at the book. These rules force the reader to rely on memory. To analyze the data gained from post-test for both control and experimental class, the researcher used the t-test formula. The findings showed that t-value higher than t-critical, 1,671 <5.8> 2,390 which means that Null Hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. Thus, it can be concluded that it is effective to use look up technique in teaching English speaking, because the research hypothesis (H1) which says “there is a difference in speaking skill between students who were taught using look-up technique and those who were taught using conventional technique (role-play) in their speaking class” was accepted.
