Abstract

This paper is an attempt to give an account of the analytic-synthetic distinction both inside and outside of physical theory, which is sufficiently non-technical to be followed by a reader whose background in science is not extensive, but it has been necessary to consider problems connected with physical science in order to bring out the features of the analytic-synthetic distinction that seem to be the most important. This paper, then, fights on two fronts; it tries to ‘defend’ the distinction since there is somewhat newer danger of denying its existence altogether, while attacking its extensive abuse by philosophers, which is nevertheless an error.   Key words: Analytic, synthetic, distinction

Abstract

Second Language Acquisition (SLA) is the interdisciplinary field of inquirey which investigates people’s capacity to learn a second language (L2) or subsequent languages (L3, L4, etc.) once the first language (L1) has been acquired. Thus, the onset of acquisition occurs at some time during the L2 learner’s late childhood, adolescent, or adulthood years in either naturalistic (informal) or instructed (formal) settings. When the inquiry into SLA began in the late 1960s it drew equally from what was known or theorised in the fields of linguistics, psychology, language teaching and child language acquisition. In the years that ensued, SLA developed ties with the fields of anthropology, education, bilingualism, psycholinguistics and sociology, and since the mid 1990s there has been a significant theoretical shift from what was once a near exclusive concern for psycholinguistics aspects of L2 learning, or ‘language in the mind’,  to a focus on the socio-pragmatic aspects of L2 acquisition, or ‘language as situated in social contexts’ (Ellis, 2012).     Kata Kunci :      Second Language Acquisition, linguistics, psychology, language teaching

Abstract

Underlying metaphysical doctrines and value systems upon which various religions are constructed, tribal or otherwise, act as primary pathways upon which religious conversion takes place. In other words, the initiate must recognize an underlying truth within the new sign system from the established system of signs comprising their own value paradigm, that is known as culture. The focus of this study is the Batak people of North Sumatra, Indonesia. Formally, perhaps the only cannibalistic tribe having its own system of writing and divination, the Batak resisted conversion to Islam by Acehnese to the north for several hundred years, yet many were converted to Christianity quite willingly during the 19th century. This marked the beginning of a conversion process still going on to this day. Today, most of the approximately 1.5 million Batak are either Catholic or Protestant. There are, however, still many who maintain practices from the old religion, adat, as well as a minority particularly in the southern Batak lands who have converted to Islam either from Christianity or from the original animist religion. Such conversions and shifts between religious and cultural paradigms still occur quite frequently in the region to this day. Therefore, the Batak region is an ideal place to study the inherent metaphysical mechanisms involved in the process of such paradigm shifts and conversion. Furthermore, in all Batak regions, elements of the adat are maintained simultaneously with the newer monotheistic religions.   Key Words : meta-religious symbology, religious and cultural paradigms

Abstract

Language and culture are familiar issues in human life. In fact, some people do not realize that they, as a member of society, produce meanings to their life called 'culture'. Commonly, culture is comprehended as the way of behaving or the way of living. In addition, ordinary people who do not clearly understand this concept think that culture involves traditional performances or some ritual events of a group. Some other people, including the writer, interpret culture as arts creations, such as painting, music and literature. In fact, Hall's concepts on culture have opened up the writer's view on culture. This paper is aimed at exploring Hall's concept of culture in relation to language and society. To make this concept more understandable the writer would like to apply this concept into a specific context in our daily life and the writer's cultural experiences.   Key Words: language, culture, society

Abstract

 Abstract   This research describes students’ responses to teacher written corrective feedback in their descriptive texts. It also discovers types of written corrective feedback used by the teacher. The research employed descriptive qualitative. The subjects of the study consisted of 16 seventh year students of SMP Negeri 1 Tanjung Beringin and an English teacher. Open-ended interview and documentation review were used as the research instruments to collect the data. Results of the study revealed that (1) the majority of the students showed positive responses to teacher’s written corrective feedback, as the following: (a) They said that teacher written corrective feedback was useful, (b) they felt pleased when their descriptive texts were provided with written corrective feedback, (c) teacher written corrective feedback made them feel motivated in writing, (d) they hoped the teacher always provided written corrective feedback to improve their writing errors, and (e) direct written corrective feedback served as the most preferred teacher feedback, and that (2) of the three types of written corrective feedback (metalinguistic, direct and indirect), the teacher only used direct and indirect written corrective feedback in the students’ descriptive texts.) Keywords: Student response; teacher written corrective feedback; assessment; descriptive text
