Abstract

This study aims to measure the effectiveness of collaborative strategic reading (CSR) and cooperative-discussion-question (Coop-Dis-Q) strategies in teaching reading comprehension students with impulsive and reflective cognitive learning styles. To improve students' reading comprehension skills, the researcher wants to study both strategies. This research used 2x2 factorial experimental designs. The subjects were XI MIPA 1 and XI MIPA 4 classes of SMAN 1 Pangkah, Tegal Regency. They were divided into two groups, and categorized impulsive and reflective students. The instruments used were test, pre-test, post-test, and questionnaires. This research indicated that collaborative strategic reading (CSR) was more effective than cooperative-discussion-question (Coop-Dis-Q) to students with impulsive cognitive learning styles. Simultaneously, there was no significant difference between the students who were taught by using collaborative strategic reading (CSR) and those taught by cooperative-discussion-question (Coop-Dis-Q) with reflective cognitive learning style. It meant that CSR was more effective for the students with impulsive cognitive learning styles, while Coop-Dis-Q was effective for the students with reflective cognitive learning styles. Based on the findings, the researchers concludes that CSR and Coop-Dis-Q appeared to improve the students' reading comprehension skills for both impulsive and reflective students.

Abstract

This research is a qualitative study of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) practice. PjBL is one of the three main teaching and learning methods suggested in the implementation of the 2013 curriculum. Researches on the teachers’ perception were mostly on the benefits of PjBL, but their understandings of PjBL were commonly ignored. Meanwhile, the teachers’ beliefs and perceptions affect what they do in the classrooms. Their perceptions deeply influence the way they plan, teach, and perform assessments. Therefore, this study is aimed at evaluating how the teachers perceive, plan, implement, and assess PjBL in writing instruction. The result of this study is expected to enrich the practical concept and theory of PjBL. Besides, it is important for the readers, especially the teachers to either revise or improve their perception, knowledge, and understanding of PjBL, especially in writing instruction. To collect the data, the researcher used a questionnaire, document, classroom observation, and interview. The findings show that the teachers have several incorrect perceptions of PjBL. Their misperceptions lead them to make inappropriate PjBL plans, implementations, and assessments. Accordingly, it reveals the teachers’ perceptions of PjBL were compatible with their PjBL plan, implementation, and assessment. However, this compatibility did not show the appropriateness of the teachers’ PjBL practice due to several misperceptions of PjBL of the teachers.

Abstract

In a learning context, students are usually faced with images and texts, especially in textbooks they carry around with them. Nowadays, meaning-making rarely depends on language alone. Sometimes, the combination between image, color, sound, and action symbol have been considered as paralanguage no longer play a subordinate role in modern communication. This research aims to explain 1) the existence of visual representational meaning and the text ideational meaning in Cambridge Guess What Pupil’s Book 6, 2) the function of visual representational meaning and the text ideational meaning in the Cambridge Guess What Pupil’s Book 6, and 3) the function of visual representational meaning and the purposes of the texts in Cambridge Guess What Pupil’s Book 6. The findings showed the existences of the visual representational meaning and the ideational meaning of the texts. They had the same participants and processes. However, not all clauses on the texts had the same participants. There were only several clauses that had the same participants with the figures. It meant visual representational meaning only could visualize the description of the same participants or visualize the narration of the same processes.

Abstract

This research is about the use of verbal language and visual image to realize the metafunctions in student’s textbook. In order to see the process of meaning making in multimodal text, the researcher analyses the implementation of ideational, interpersonal, and textual meaning. The data was taken from conversation sections in Interchange Student’s Book 1. It consists of verbal language in the form of dialogues and visual image in the form of pictures. There were 16 conversation sections chosen from 16 chapters in the book. This research uses multimodal discourse analysis; using three instruments to classify the data. The checklists are from Eggins (2004) about metafunctions in verbal language, Van Leeuween (2006) about metafunctions in visual image, and Royce (2007) about the relations in verbal language and visual image. In ideational meaning, the result of the study shows that verbal language which dominates the conversation is the material proces; while in visual image, the reactional process is the highest number of process happens. Thus, the verbal-visual relations in ideational meaning found are collocation and repetition. Furthermore, the result in interpersonal meaning finds out that the most common verbal language used is statement; while in visual image, the medium shot is mostly found. Thus, the verbal-visual relation in interpersonal meaning realized through reinforcement of address is interaction between represented participant and represented participant. Moreover, in textual meaning, the result of verbal language shows that the most common used theme is topical theme; while in visual image, the information value is mostly left-right. Thus, the verbal-visual relation in textual meaning shown in reading path is left-right.

Abstract

Translating a movie subtitle from Indonesian into English should be done carefully because Indonesian and English have some differences which may lead to ineffective communication, such as the changing of structures, the difference of meanings, and also dissimilarity of corresponding cultures. This phenomenon might be a concern since many Indonesian movies have entered international audiences and won some international awards, such as the Gundala movie that is directed by Joko Anwar. This study focused on analyzing the cultural filter implemented in Indonesian – English audio-visual translation of Gundala movie subtitles. The analysis utilizes the cultural filter theory proposed by House (2015). The data analysis focused in this study includes the characters’ utterances in Indonesian and its English subtitle provided in the Gundala movie. The subject is the Indonesian transcription from verbal dialogues produced by the movie characters in Gundala movie and its English subtitles shown on the screen. The object of the study is words, phrases, and sentences produced by the characters in the Gundala movie. Most translations applied cultural filter achieves functional equivalence. Theoretically, the cultural filter can help the translator to achieve functional equivalence. Practically, for the next translation project, it could be a good challenge for the next researcher to explore the translation studies using this theory. Pedagogically, the reader should be more familiar with the cultural differences between Indonesian and English.
