Prewriting and Drafting Strategies of Graduate Students In Writing Term Papers in English
Authors: Irawati Enny 
Published: May 2017

<p>Researches on writing have found that some writers are successful while others are not. Studies that focus on the texts students produced were unable to reveal the reasons for the phenomenon. Researches on the process of writing attempt to uncover the mental processes that students experience while writing texts. Findings by researchers on mental processes predict that more successful writers employ a battery of effective strategies while writing and they employ a more recursive steps in producing the texts. The present study is an attempt to uncover the mental processes of two graduate students when they were writing papers as a form of academic assignment. The research employed descriptive qualitative design. The data were collected using think-aloud protocol in which the subjects think aloud what came to their mind during the production of the papers and it was tape-recorded. The recorded think-aloud was then transcribed and analysed by categorizing the utterances into cognitive and metacognitive strategies, and by depicting the utterances into a chart that depicted the subjects’ flow of thought during prewriting and drafting stages. The data were collected from 22 and 24 sittings of writing the papers. The result of data analyses shows that: (1) the subjects employ both cognitive and metacognitive strategies when writing, (2) the subjects create mental outline in the prewriting stage and keep on revising it during the drafting stage, and (3) recursiveness is not a mark of successful writers.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>drafting, papers, prewriting, strategy<strong></strong></em></p>

Social Construction On Cultural Multiculturalism
Authors: . Sukamto 
Published: May 2017

<p>This paper aims to disseminate the results of the study and get feedback about the "Social construction on Multiculturalism". Five years ago, Ahimsa Putra (2011) stated that Indonesia adopted pluralism without multiculturalism. Until now the issue of multiculturalism has become something that must be kept alive in an attempt to minimize the incidence of national disintegration. Winter (2015) tried to rethink multiculturalism by taking a lesson from Canada, where the people experienced setbacks in implementing the work program of multiculturalism. While Pakulski (2014) considered the implementation of multiculturalism policy program in Australia as a blur, Scuzzarello (2015), optimistically invited to care about multiculturalism and re power sharing on different communities. Gozdecka et al. (2014), in recent years after multiculturalism was declared, stated that it was a failure both in Europe and in Anglophone West. This study was conducted in Blitar, using a qualitative approach to data collection methods and also interviews with ten informants. The result showed that the community was concerned with the existence of multiculturalism; they considered themselves as ‘brother’. In addition, they described that: (a) asserting one's cultural identity, studying and assessing the cultural heritage of a person is important; (b) respecting and having a desire to understand and learn about (and from) other cultures is useful; (c) being always delighted with the presence of different cultures in the community, and considering it as a positive thing to be respected and maintained is crucial. The harmony was found in everyday lives, especially in the Religious and National holidays, for example Eid Al-Fitr, Vesak, Christmas, and other religious holidays. Also, it could be seen during the Commemoration of National Holiday such as the Independence Day and the Youth Pledge Day.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>social construction, pluralism, multiculturalism, Indonesia</em>.<strong><em></em></strong></p>
The Debate of Written Corrective Feedback: What to do And Where to Go
Authors: Budianto Suhartawan , Mukminatien Nur , Adnan Latief Mohammad 
Published: May 2017

<p>This article presents the debate of written direct CF (WCF) stated by the previous studies. Being a controversial issue leads written CF into two different positions: that written CF is plausible for ESL and EFL learners (Bitchener et al, 2005; Bitchener, 2008; Bitchener &amp; Knoch, 2008, 2009, 2010; Bruton, 2007, 2009; Chandler, 2003; Lee, 2008a, 2008b, 2008c; Montgomery &amp; Baker, 2007; Lundstrom &amp; Baker, 2009; Vasquez &amp; Harvey, 2010; Evans et al., 2010) or that it does not contribute significantly for ESL and EFL learners (Truscott &amp; Hsu, 2008; Bruton, 2007). Through the debate, there are two queries revealed: what to do and where to go. Finally, it can be concluded that an effort to assist learners in improving their accuracy of ESL and EFL writing has to be conducted by a teacher, and CF is one of the alternative techniques among others to make the learning outcome better. Moreover, both local and global aspects are to be checked and treated proportionally meaning the written CF should not only concern local aspects but also global aspects. Later, it would be better to evaluate the long term effect of providing WCF on other occasions (a month or a semester after WCF is given).</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>Written Direct CF, Indirect CF</em><em> <strong></strong></em></p>
Making their Voices Heard: Introducing the Joy of Poetry Writing In Foreign Language Classroom
Authors: El Khoiri Niamika 
Published: May 2017

<p>The use of poetry in the classroom is not an uncommon phenomenon in foreign language teaching. Many teachers believe that poetry writing can help students improve their language fluency and provide meaningful literacy. However, some language teachers are quite skeptical of the idea, by referring to the fact that students’ limited linguistic resources will prevent them from performing the challenging task. This paper tries to show how poetry writing can be applied in EFL classroom, not only as a means to develop students’ language competence, but also as a medium to create meaningful dialogue among students. Previously designed as an additional activity in a formal academic writing class, the poetry writing has become one of the favorite sections in the students’ activities. By adding small but interesting features to the technique, poetry writing can in fact turn into an activity many students look forward to. During the process, the students are engaged in a meaningful exchange with their fellow learners, with language learning also happens along the way, sometimes quite unconsciously. Such process may help students to appreciate various forms of literary work, to improve the language fluency, and most importantly, to provide a sense of audience to students who want to make their voices heard.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>poetry writing, EFL, peer analysis<strong><em></em></strong></p>
In Lieu Of That: Multiple Stay – Stray Presentations For More Intensive Learning
Authors: . Furaidah 
Published: May 2017

<p>In an attempt to move away from teacher-centered way of teaching, lecturers frequently ask students do presentations. In this situation, a group of students will usually become the presenters and the others the audience. Though this way has reduced the teacher-centeredness, the number of students taking part in the discussion and being engaged in the learning process is still limited to the presenters and the audience giving comments about the presented topic, and the learning engagement of the rest of the audience is mysterious. Considering the pivotal role of the learning engagement and participation for the achievement of the instructional objectives, lecturers can use Repetitive Stay-Stray presentation as a teaching strategy that involves meaningful repetition of presenting and listening activities, and multiple traffic of communication, and students’ reflection. These activities make learning engagement and participation a logical consequence. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>learning engagement, instructional objectives, students’ reflection, multiple stay-stray presentation</em><strong><em></em></strong></p>

<p>In order to protect Thailand’s independence and sovereignty under the strong pressures of the western powerful nations, Kings of the early Chakri dynasty had the determination to conduct a change from “close door” policy to “open door” policy. It was conducted under the reigns of King Rama IV and Rama V in the middle of nineteenth century. This was not only a new policy but it also became its pioneer in Asia. This “open door” policy was not only to protect Thailand’s independence but also to develop its economy and society. On the basis of economy and society reforms, Thailand government had implemented the reforms on the politics: turning absolute monarchy into constitutional monarchy.

Authors: Tanriwa Arkan , Wuryandari Nurni W. 
Published: May 2017

<p>Social and societal changes, and the essential ambivalence of the everyman in face of those changes is the theme and major narrative thread in the short story <em>Shifu Becomes Dumb and Dumber</em> (师傅越来越幽默: Shifu Yuelaiyue Youmo) by contemporary Chinese author Mo Yan. In Shifu, Mo Yan relays the theme by tracing the life of the main character. The theme’s logical conclusion is achieved through humor and detailed narratives of the idiosyncrasies of that main character. To provide granularity and dimension for the behaviors, thoughts and lifestyle of that character, the author introduces a minor character for contrasting effect, that brings the 'dumb and dumber' to the fore. The way the author describes Ding’s idiosyncratic ways and juxtaposes them with those of the minor character, with the specific scenes as the narrative backdrop, competently and critically portrays the life and living of the essential everyman in China in the face of society undergoing rapid and fundamental sociocultural flux</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>Shifu Becomes Dumb and Dumber short story, character analysis, social change in China</em></p>
The Impact Of Tourism On Indian Culture

Published: May 2017

<p>Tourism is an important, even vital, source of income for many regions and countries. Increased leisure time and changes in lifestyle and consumption have given renewed importance to tourism. Travel outside a person's local area for leisure was largely confined to wealthy classes, who at times travelled to distant parts of the world, to see great buildings, works of art, <a title="Multilingualism" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilingualism">learn new languages</a>, experience new cultures, and to taste different <a title="Cuisine" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisine">cuisines</a>. Tourism also encourages respect for and preservation of monuments and heritage properties.” At the interface between culture and tourism lies a series of deep and challenging issues relating to how we deal with issues of political engagement, social justice, economic change, belonging, identity and meaning. Tourism is a cultural phenomenon. It both impacts cultures and society, and is shaped by cultures and society. There is a deep influence of tourists and tourism on host country. Tourism is genuinely powerful and unique force for change in the community. Tourist impact has been most noticeable in lesser developed countries but is not entirely restricted to them. The cultural impact of tourism is concerned with the question of protecting and maintaining the cultural heritage and certain allied issues. The paper is an attempt to discuss the impact of tourism on Indian culture.

Published: May 2017

<p>The existence of nymph characters in many myths and folktales has brought fascinating yet complex issues on gender relation in patriarchal society. Most of the nymphs are female who has superhuman power. They are usually represented as having charm that allures men.</p><p>This study explores a Javanese well known legend of Jaka Tarub and Nawang Wulan Using feminist theory as a framework, this study addresses the female opression in a patriarchal society through the portrayal of the heroine Dewi Nawang Wulan, a celestial nymph with supranatural power, who is trapped and deprived of her power by Jaka Tarub. The narrative of Jaka Tarub and Nawang Wulan represents women as the involuntary victims of socializing mechanisms, and the ‘otherness’ of woman in a male-oriented culture. The story challenges the commonly held notion that happiness for women is dependent on men’s protection. In many fairy tale, marriage is the ultimate goal that will end the female heroine’s misery like in cinderella. However in Jaka Tarub and Nawang Wulan the marriage is just the beginning of an oppression and suffering.The male protector only brings distress and suffering. Once the female superhuman power is gained back, the women are liberated from the shackle of patriarchy. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>female liberation, socializing mechanisms, otherness</em></p>
Old Software, New Purpose: Exploring PPT for Interactive Language Learning
Authors: Maria Ivone Francisca 
Published: May 2017

<p><em>Microsoft PowerPoint</em> (<em>PPT)</em> has frequently been used in language classes to present texts, pictures, animation, audio, and videos. The presentation software is extremely popular because it is available in most computers, easy to use, and supports multimedia. Yet it is seldom used to create instructional materials and media that allow language learners to be active and that encourage them to be more independent learners. The paper aims to stimulate language teachers to scrutinise the software to rediscover its potentials for language learning. The features provided in <em>PPT</em> allow language learners to explore, provide and record responses, and to receive feedback while they are in slideshow mode. In this paper, four <em>PPT</em> features – animations, <em>ActiveX</em>, hyperlinks, and pointer options – are explored in atypical manners and examples of language learning activities are presented to give language teachers ideas of what this old software can do to support language teaching and learning.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>interactive activities, Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT), multimedia, animations, ActiveX, hyperlinks, pointer options</em></p>
The National Heritage Of Ki Hadjar Dewantara In Taman Siswa About Culture-Based Education And Learning
Authors: Towaf Siti Malikhah 
Published: May 2017

<p>Global interdependence is a reality; in the security, economics, politics, socio-culture, and especially in the education of a nation. Relevant to the need for an international dialog on education, this study tries to explore: 1) the concepts of culture-based education and learning of Ki Hadjar Dewantara (KHD) in Tamansiswa, 2) the results of previous studies about the culture-based education and learning of KHD in Tamansiswa, and 3) the phenomena of Tamansiswa stagnancy as the national movement in education. A qualitative approach is used in this study. The researcher collected data from documents, observations, interviews; open ended questions. The data were analyzed to describe the focus of this study and get the conclusions. The result shows that Tamansiswa took role in culture-based education and learning by implementing <em>Among</em> System since the beginning of its history. The previous studies indicate that the KHD ideas are beyond his time and generation; very important for the nation in recent time. The phenomena of stagnancy is more due to management problems rather than the obsoleteness of philosophical foundation of Tamansiswa. It is necessary to socialize the concepts of culture-based education and learning of Ki Hadjar Dewantara (KHD) in Tamansiswa, to recognize the importance of KHD ideas as a contribution to the development of education in Indonesia.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>National heritage</em><em>, </em><em>Culture-based </em><em>Education, Tamansiswa.</em><strong><em></em></strong></p>

Authors: Susanto Gatut 
Published: May 2017

<p>This paper aims to discuss the result of the study on the implementation of communicative language teaching and its impact on the language achievements of the students. In this study, the data is collected from classroom observation, interview, and examination of various Indonesian curricula, syllabi, and teaching materials. The subjects of the study are students, peer tutors, and instructors involving in the CLS Malang programs in the summers of 2013–2015 at Indonesian for foreign speakers (or locally known as <em>Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing</em> (BIPA)), State University of Malang. The result of the study shows that the implementation of communicative language teaching approach is very effective when it is combined with extracurricular activities. The combination of these two can significantly increase students’ skills in Indonesian language as the students are able to use it effectively and meaningfully in “real-world” contexts afterwards. Moreover, based on the results of OPI (Oral Proficiency Interview), this approach enables students to practice Indonesian language through real-life interactions. Higher levels of students’ achievement are predicted to result from this approach because the OPI interviews emphasize oral proficiency based on communicative and cultural skills in real-life settings. The limitation and suggestion for further research will also be discussed.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>communicative language teaching, achievement, Bahasa Indonesia, in-country program, Indonesia</em></p>
The Influence Of L1 And L2 In English Stress Shift Production Of The Efl Learners In Indonesia
Authors: Arienintya Dhinar 
Published: May 2017

<p>EFL learners in Indonesia are varied in terms of their age, gender, and origin (places to live). They eagerly learn English productively by speaking although, most of the time, most of them mispronounce some words. Even worse, they still mispronounce a word after having given or heard the correct pronunciation. If this happens to learners whose major is not English, it is perhaps not a big problem; however, it should be a problem that should be immediately fixed by the lecturers if it happens to learners whose major is English. Many of the learners of English Language Teaching still frequently make mistakes in pronouncing English words, especially in giving stress in each word. It may happen due to the influence of their L1 and L2, the lack of knowledge in giving stress, or both. The participants of this study will be the freshmen of English Language Teaching of the Department of English Language and Literature of Universitas Negeri Malang attending Basic Reading Class. The design of this research is descriptive in which questionnaire and recording will be used as the instruments in the data collection. The result of this study is expected to answer whether or not L1 and L2 influence English stress shift production of the EFL learners in Indonesia.</p><p> </p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>Stress shifts, pronunciation, EFL learners in Indonesia</em>
