Abstract

This study is designed to investigate the students' needs on English for Specific Purposes (ESP)  for students at Parahyangan Catholic University (UNPAR), majoring Public Administration (PA). This study is conducted on two reasons: first, the great demand of active  communication in English; second; the students' inability in implementing their knowledge about Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in language skills. Therefore, this study will be guided by two basic research questions which led to identifying the students' needs towards  part of SDGs based material given in English class, and what kind of activities are appropriate  for improving their language skills. The data-led investigation into students' needs on the selection, presentation, and evaluation of the material concerning their orientation and preferred classroom activities. The appropriateness of the materials was also revealed as the basis for the necessary revisions for the existing materials. This design research is based on a descriptive qualitative study that will investigate the PA  students, PA lecturers, and the stakeholders. The procedure to collect the data was through questionnaires and interviews to clarify some raw data. The appropriate textbook used in the previous classroom will also be part of the data collection to find out the necessary materials. The findings will be used as guidance to design a suggested syllabus with some learning activities with the expectation to improve the student's language skills. The suggestions for ESP educators were also elaborated in this study. Keywords:  SDGs, ESP, Need Analysis, Syllabus, Material  Development

Abstract

This study aims at investigating the types of ideational metaphor used in scientific texts and analyzing its implications on grammatical intricacy (GI) and lexical density (LD). The data are limited to the scientific articles published on International Journal of Scientific and Technology Research (IJSTR) Volume 10 - Issue 5, May 2021 Edition. This journal aims to promote the theory and practice of sciences, technology, innovation, engineering and management. A qualitative descriptive methodology is applied to this study. In analyzing the data, there are two grand theories used; Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (1985) to analyze the ideational metaphors and LD & GI formula proposed by Gerot, Linda, and Wignel (1995). An electronic based is also applied to count number of words and clauses containing in the discourse chosen which can be downloaded from http://www.usingenglish.com/resources/. This study found that ideational metaphor impacted on lexical density by showing the dense information conveyed through nominalization and condensed complex clauses. The lexical density found from the data (three representative articles) is  36.75, 49.48 and 40.51. Ideational  metaphor also impacted on the grammatical intricacy shown from the lower rate which is 1.29,1.31, and 1,24. Ideational metaphors characteristic are shown in the nominalization formed from the condensation of subordinate clauses into phrases, the change of process to noun dominated by relational process to goals or agent. This study is expected to be beneficial to lecturers and writers to consider applying ideational metaphors in their academic writing and to English teachers and lecturers to (re)consider the LD and GI of textbooks readibility for students. Keywords:  Ideational Metaphor, SFL, Scientific Text, Lexical Density, Grammatical Intricacy

Abstract

Human’s head takes the most important part in human’s part of body which leads to the frequent use of  head in language uses. This study therefore aims to investigate how head is conceptualized through the use of metaphor in Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) and how the conceptual metaphors are projected through image schemas. The data were obtained  from Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) as a rich data sources relevant to the study. This study applied qualitative descriptive study through the framework of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT)  proposed by Lakoff and Johnson (2008). Sentences which contain head metaphors were selected, analyzed, and categorized to relevant conceptual metaphors through the bridge of mappings to characterize the relationship between two concepts (source and target domains) in the metaphorical process and image schemas.  The findings of the study showed that head is mostly metaphorically used as a container which is conceptualized as a head is a container.The most image schemas used are containment schemas which show in-out,  full-empty,  and surface schemas. The image-schemas have indeed been shown to likely become the basis of numerous metaphorical constructions and have been helpful to understand how people cognize their world.

Abstract

The transformation of information and communication technology is believed to not only change the context and pattern of social networks but also the perspective in addressing a social problem. The facilitation of the internet medium and cellular technology, for example, has changed the paradigm of nationalism, especially through audiovisual content. Through the mixed method as a research method, namely the combination of quantitative methods (a survey technique for the younger generation with an age range of 18-22 years) and qualitative methods (through a digital ethnographic approach obtained from the “drone emprit academy”), this study shows that the use of social media by the younger generation shows positive trends in maintaining the spirit of nationalism such as uploading topics with the theme of nationalism, Pancasila, and unity. It means that the more content with nationalism nuances that is shared through social media, the greater the awareness and encouragement to maintain the spirit of nationalism.

Abstract

The word formation is largely influenced by derivational affixes. These affixes however have certain level orderings called stratum ordering that lead to the formation of new words hierarchically. The study focuses on the investigation of the possible stratum ordering of derivational morphemes in scientific texts and the analysis of how these stratums form polysyllables derivational words. Qualitative research methodology is applied to this study. The data source of this study was taken from http://ijiemjournal.uns.ac.rs/v11/v11-01.html. This journal concerns Industrial Engineering and Management. The intended data are randomly taken from five journals published on Volume 11 | Issue 1 | March 2020 limited to polysyllables of scientific terms. The data were analyzed using the theory of Francis Katamba proposing that the central to lexical morphology is organized in a series of hierarchical strata and also Spencer (1991) supported by Plag and Baayen (2008). This paper concludes in general that the addition of derivational affixes to scientific terms is hierarchically structured based on the theory, such as the placement of strata 1 affixes closer to the root word, the neutrality of stress placement of strata 2 suffixes, and non-netrality of strata 1 suffixes. However, it is also found some inconsistencies in the placement of derivational suffixes in which the second strata are placed closer to the root. This happens when suffix -able is combined with -ity in availability (adjective to noun) or when suffix -ize is combined with -ion to form verb to noun in parameterization. The most formations found is the use of suffixes -ion, -ity for nouns, -ize for verbs, -ive and -able for adjectives.

Abstract

Metaphor is one of interesting objects to be research for its rich cognition and use. This study aims at investigating the conceptualization of heart metaphors and to describe the image schemas of heart metaphors. The data of the study were collected from Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) which provides significant data relevant to the study. This is a literature study using a qualitative descriptive study through the framework of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) proposed by Lakoff and Johnson. After the selection of metaphorical expressions of heart, the analysis was conducted to categorize the conceptual metaphor of each selected data. The image schemas were then drawn in accordance to the concept given. The study found that people mainly use metaphors to state these three types of concepts of heart metaphors, they are; HEART IS A CONTAINER, HEART IS AN OBJECT, and HEART IS HUMAN/BEING. These main concepts were then elaborated into several smaller categorizations. There are three image schemas drawn in accordance to the types of the conceptual metaphors like containment schema, compulsion schema, and removal of restraint schema. Then, image schemas are helpful to draw the mapping of abstract thing of target domain into more concrete thing of target domain.

Abstract

The digital media that is currently developing makes human activities centered around digital media. However, there are various negative impacts of digital media that are detrimental to humans, such as being affected by inaccurate information (hoax). The purpose of this study was to determine the readiness of Unpar students in facing the development of digitalization to avoid confusion and the spread of hoaxes in digital media. This study uses quantitative methods, data collection is carried out by conducting a survey via google form to Parahyangan Catholic University students from all generations and faculties with 80 respondents. Based on the results of the survey and discussion of the survey, it shows that the majority of Unpar students have received hoax news through digital media, particularly across group chats and social media like Instagram and Facebook. According to most Unpar students, the factors that cause the number of hoaxes circulating in digital media are the public's tendency to easily believe in new information or news and the lack of public digital literacy. As well as effective efforts to minimize hoax news circulating in digital media is to increase people's digital literacy through educational institutions such as schools, universities, and other educational institutions. In addition, preventive steps that can be taken so as not to be easily consumed by hoaxes are critical in receiving information and not easily believing in news that is not yet known to be true.

Abstract

The problem of bad behavior of the younger generation in the form of juvenile delinquency is a major concern in character education in elementary schools. Using qualitative methods, this study aims to raise character education in the educational paradigm of Ki Hadjar Dewantara as a fundamental solution to the problem of juvenile delinquency. The results showed that both the inner interiority in Neng, Ning, Nung, and Nang, the person (will and heart) who is "antêp, mantêp, têtêp," the child's attitude that is "Ngandel, Kandêl, Kêndêl, Bandêl" (attitude area), and the educational method "Among" with spirit: "Ing Ngarsa Sung Tulada, Ing Madya Mbangun Karsa, Tut Wuri Handayani" can be an effective choice in developing character education. The recommendation for future research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the "Among, Momong, Ngemong" method by focusing on the factors of influence of family environment, peers, and school culture. The concrete solution for primary school education is the preparation of a curriculum that is more focused on building student character by incorporating eastern values and moral education as well as training and developing teacher competencies in carrying out character education in the daily learning process. Masalah perilaku buruk generasi muda dalam bentuk kenakalan remaja menjadi perhatian utama dalam pendidikan karakter di sekolah dasar. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengangkat pendidikan karakter dalam paradigma pendidikan Ki Hadjar Dewantara sebagai solusi mendasar atas masalah kenakalan remaja. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakter baik dalam interioritas batin dalam Neng, Ning, Nung, dan Nang, pribadi (kehendak dan hati) yang "antêp, mantêp, têtêp," sikap anak yang "Ngandel, Kandêl, Kêndêl, Bandêl" (area sikap), dan metode pendidikan “Among” dengan semangat: “Ing Ngarsa Sung Tulada, Ing Madya Mbangun Karsa, Tut Wuri Handayani” dapat menjadi pilihan efektif dalam mengembangkan pendidikan karakter. Rekomendasi untuk penelitian selanjutnya adalah untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas metode "Among, Momong, Ngemong" dengan memfokuskan pada faktor-faktor pengaruh lingkungan keluarga, teman sebaya, dan budaya sekolah. Solusi konkret untuk pendidikan sekolah dasar adalah penyusunan kurikulum yang lebih terfokus pada pembentukan karakter siswa dengan memasukkan nilai-nilai ketimuran dan pendidikan moral serta pelatihan dan pengembangan kompetensi guru dalam melaksanakan pendidikan karakter dalam proses pembelajaran sehari-hari.
