Published: September 2023

Metaphors deal with transferring words to other words by comparing the similarity of its meaning. This study investigated the realization of metaphors and their relationship among the four types in the novel. Lakoff and Johnson; Lakoff and Turner mentioned four metaphors; those are structural metaphors, orientational metaphors, ontological metaphors, and image metaphors. These metaphor categorizations are mentioned in the Contemporary Theory of Metaphors (CTM). The researchers conducted a linguistic analysis of text as the method. To collect the data, the researchers used MIPVU (Metaphor Identification Procedure Vrije Universiteit) in The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. The metaphors which are found were analyzed based on classifications as they are used in the novel. In this study, there are 367 metaphors found in the novel; those are 56 structural metaphors, 40 orientational metaphors, 222 ontological metaphors, 36 image metaphors, and 13 compound metaphors. The most used metaphor in the novel is Ontological metaphor because it has more general specification than other metaphors. The compound metaphors are found based on the relationship of the four types. They are used together to strengthen, clarify, support, complete, and continue each other. The results presented that all of the metaphors are mapped in a proper way. It means they have compatible concepts transferred. Thus, this result can be used by the learners as supporting words to raise the learners' quality of speech.

Authors: Masitha Fella Shoufa , Hartono Rudi
Published: September 2023

This research analyzed the way spontaneity and interactivity realized within the students' transactional conversation. The study participants were the students of the Petroleum study program of P.E.M. Akamigas Cepu, Central Java. As a discourse study, this research analyzed five conversations carried out by five groups of students of the Petroleum study program. The data were collected through audio recordings. The recorded files were further transcribed, and the researchers selected, counted, and reported the written data based on the transcription. The transcription of the students' conversation recording was then analyzed to find its spontaneity and interactivity features, referring to the suggestions by Thornburry and Slade (2006). The result of the analysis of students’ conversation recording showed that chunks were the most frequent spontaneity feature found within students' conversation, followed by conjunctions and filled pauses. Students use chunks to recall a typical combination of words quickly. As for the interactivity features, the most commonly found part was the discourse marker followed by questions and interaction signal. The students used Discourse markers to keep the information flowing during the conversation. Spontaneity and interactivity features were indeed found and used by the students for specific purposes, and it is suggested to expose learners to the appropriate use of spontaneity and interactivity. This research provides insight for E.S.P. teachers to develop their teaching beyond language content that helps the learners to participate in an actual discourse

Published: September 2023

In learning a language, students are supposed to study linguistics in order to be able to recognize the root of words, how they are formed, and the context of language. This study aimed to explain the realization of the derivational process, the inflectional process, and the causes of the error in the students’ writing. This study used a descriptive qualitative design. The researchers analyzed the students’ writing essays written by the XII-graders of the Vocational High School Al-Musyaffa Kendal in the academic year 2021/2022. The instruments are document analysis theory and interview. It used the theory of Dulay et.al. (1982).  The findings demonstrate that the students made errors that belong to both the derivational and the inflectional processes. Most of the students made errors in the omission of derivation, yet they made fewer errors in the addition and malformation of derivation. Besides, there were many problems in dealing with the inflection. Most of the students were confused about how to deal with the omission of noun inflection and the omission of verb inflection. Nevertheless, they made fewer errors in the misordering of verb inflection. In addition, the cause of the error that the students did was mostly carelessness as it occurs due to students’ lack of motivation and less enthusiasm in engaging in the teaching and learning process. Expectantly, this research will provide an essential contribution as a reference in comprehending word formation and contribute to teaching and learning of forming English words.

Published: September 2023

Conversation Analysis is an issue of Pragmatics. It is a way to analyze a conversation by its elements, such as turn-taking and adjacency pair produced by the speakers. In this present study, we conducted research in the field of conversation analysis. More specifically, we investigated the adjacency pair patterns, the meaning of the patterns, and the implicature of the patterns in the spoken interaction of the Ancora Meet discussion with Nadiem Anwar Makarim, Minister of Education and Culture of Indonesia, the Republic of Indonesia. This research investigates how adjacency pairs patterned in Ancora Meet’s interview with Nadiem Anwar Makarim, how meaning is made through the patterns, and how the implicature resulted from using the patterns. This present study used a qualitative method. We found eight patterns of adjacency pair construct in Ancora Meet, and then three maxims were realized in the discussion. This study also reveals some patterns. Individuals prefer to communicate information implicitly rather than explicitly. Particularised dialogue implicature dominance in the discussion is evidence that speakers are connected to the context to implicate utterances in their current conversation. The particularised conversation implicature’s violation of the maxim is evidence of a significant relationship between context and cooperative principles. Conversation implicatures are almost always connected to the context. Finally, we discovered 42 instances of Minister Nadiem’s implicature, demonstrating that, for the most part, conversational implicature is always connected to context. Meanwhile, in practical contribution, this research can be used as a reference in teaching English, especially speaking.

Thematic progression is the way in which the theme of the clause repeats a meaning from the previous theme or rheme. It also refers to how the information flows in the text. This study aimed to analyze the application of thematic progression to enhance coherence in the analytical exposition texts written by the eleventh graders of SMA Kesatrian 2 Semarang in the academic year 2021/2022. This study used a mixed methods design which was embedded with a case study with the data from the result of students’ texts, observation sheet, and interviews. This study analysed 10 students’ analytical exposition texts. The findings showed that the most type of thematic progression applied was a linear theme reaching 22 times in occurrence, followed by 21 constant theme patterns, and 9 multiple theme patterns. These results showed that a linear theme occurred in the students’ analytical exposition text mostly because it elaborated the writers’ ideas or arguments. Further, thematic progression made the text organize well. This made the texts coherent, and the students’ scores improved from pre-test with mean of 74.50 to post-test with mean of 89.00. Then, the value of significance (2-tailed) was 0.000 which meant that the improvement was statistically significant.

En este artículo se recogen los resultados más relevantes de un estudio descriptivo centrado en analizar las percepciones del profesorado, encargado de impartir los cursos de formación profesional ocupacional, en el contexto valenciano, a través del Servicio Valenciano de Empleo y Formación (SERVEF). La justificación de esta investigación viene determinada por el aumento del paro en una de las comunidades más emprendedora de España, como ha sido la Comunidad Valenciana, mediante la industria del calzado y la necesidad de conocer las posibilidades de inserción laboral en la práctica atendiendo de la opinión del profesorado, responsable de impartir la formación de cursos orientados a la búsqueda de un empleo. Para ello, se ha utilizado una entrevista semiestructurada, que pretende indagar en diferentes objetivos (satisfacción del alumnado con la impartición de los cursos, la adecuación de los contenidos teóricos y prácticos para la búsqueda de empleo, etc.), con el fin de valorar la eficacia en la formación profesional ocupacional desarrollada en función de las demandas actuales del mercado laboral.
Propuestas Didácticas para una Pedagogía de la Muerte desde la Creatividad Artística

Todavía en la educación del siglo XXI existen huecos curriculares sin descubrir, nuevos senderos que son vitales para la formación del Hombre. Uno de ellos es la muerte, pues el Hombre quizás sea el único animal que se sabe muriente. Y esta conciencia de mortalidad imprime a la finitud un carácter pedagógico, en el sentido de su potencial para que el ser humano establezca unas coordenadas a partir de las cuales actuar, crecer y desarrollarse. Es, por consiguiente, un elemento pedagógico clave para la educación de la libertad. En las últimas décadas están surgiendo  líneas de investigación rigurosas y consolidadas que tratan de contribuir a la normalización del tratamiento educativo de la muerte en todas las etapas educativas. Este artículo trata de aportar propuestas metodológicas para una Didáctica de la Muerte desde la creatividad artística, a través de recursos como el arte efímero, el movimiento Ready-made o el análisis de culturas en las que la muerte ha sido un tema dominante en su expresión artística. Las propuestas son coherentes con modelos humanistas o complejo-evolucionistas de la creatividad, que enfatizan en sus posibilidades formativas para el ser humano. La creatividad artística como recurso de Pedagogía de la Muerte es un ejemplo de creatividad aplicada para la formación, pues aporta importantes posibilidades para la expresión y la vivencia simbólica de la pérdida y la muerte y, por tanto, para que el alumnado elabore un concepto de muerte más amplio y complejo. En las conclusiones del artículo se reflexiona sobre la significativa relevancia de una posible Pedagogía de la Muerte integrada en una Educación para la Vida así como de las posibilidades de la creatividad artística en la Didáctica de la Muerte.

Factores Asociados al Abandono y la Deserción Escolar en América Latina: Una mirada de conjunto.
Authors: Roman Marcela
Published: September 2023

Entre los múltiples problemas socioeducativos que compartimos en esta América Latina, el fracaso escolar es quizás uno de los que nos duelen especialmente. Sin duda, nadie quiere fracasar y entonces no es posible asumir que el abandono o la deserción escolar, quizás su máxima expresión, sea una opción o decisión deseada o buscada por los niños o jóvenes. El texto que compartimos, busca ampliar y enriquecer la comprensión de estos complejos fenómenos;  profundizar en sus raíces y anclajes políticos, estructurales, culturales y propios de las escuelas, los sistemas y sus prácticas. Con tal propósito, se sistematizan los factores asociados al abandono y la deserción escolar en siete países latinoamericanos, analizando principalmente aquellos factores propios del sistema educativo, de las prácticas y procesos que al interior de los centros escolares, aparecen como claves y determinantes en la decisión por permanecer o desvincularse definitivamente del proceso educativo formal. Sus análisis y hallazgos, ratifican que el fracaso escolar afecta de manera principal y mayoritariamente a quienes pertenecen a los sectores más pobres en las distintas sociedades y  que el abandono y la deserción, son fenómenos principalmente construidos desde la propia escuela, a partir de sus dinámicas, juicios, prejuicios y prácticas. Terminan yéndose del sistema escolar aquellos estudiantes para los cuales la escuela ha perdido el sentido, aquellos que se sienten excluidos o que han perdido la confianza en sus capacidades para aprender.

Authors: Mederos Piñeiro Milagros
Published: September 2023

El artículo es el resultado de una investigación aplicada en una escuela primaria con el objetivo de proponer una metodología para la dirección de la actividad investigativa en escolares de la Educación Primaria donde se pone de manifiesto el efecto escolar en el aumento de los niveles de aprendizaje de los escolares. En él se presentan estrategias de aprendizaje que utiliza el maestro en el aula y que contribuyen a que los escolares desarrollen habilidades que les facilitan la realización de actividades investigativas para adquirir los conocimientos, interactuar con el medio que les rodea, comprender la significatividad de lo que aprenden y aumentar los niveles de desempeño escolar. Se emplearon métodos de investigación: teóricos, empíricos y matemáticos-estadísticos para la caracterización del estado inicial del aprendizaje y el procesamiento de los resultados y análisis. Contribuyó a formar en los escolares la independencia cognoscitiva, capacidad para enfrentar situaciones complejas y buscar soluciones.
Impacto de la exportación minera y de la producción en el crecimiento económico de la región Apurímac durante el periodo 2004-2016
Authors: Andrés Zavala Abel
Published: September 2023

El presente artículo analiza el impacto de la exportación minera y agrícola en el desarrollo económico de la región de Apurímac durante el periodo 2004-2016. Asimismo, estudia la organización de la región Apurímac en el periodo 2004-2016, donde destaca la agricultura, con la producción de papas, así como el turismo y la producción del sector minero en las minas en las Bambas. El megaproyecto minero las Bambas, que inició su producción en el 2016, exporta cobre y productos no tradicionales, como café y palta, lo cual generó un cambio en el mapa económico y financiero del departamento de Apurímac. El análisis se enfoca en la actividad económica de la banca múltiple y de las microfinancieras (depósitos y créditos), así como en el desarrollo económico de la región. Finalmente, se analiza el índice de desarrollo humano (IDH) de dos provincias pobres que se ubican en el megaproyecto minero las Bambas: la provincia Grau, con un IDH de 0.2425, y Cochabambas, con un IDH de 0.2193. Tras el inicio de la exportación de cobre (2010-2015), la región mostró un crecimiento económico de 8.4%, mientras que la economía nacional llegó al 5.4%. En el 2016, como resultado del desarrollo del proyecto las Bambas, se registró un incremento del 141.5% en la economía de la región.
