Abstract

La Malinche, the mistress of Spanish conquistador Hernn Corts, has evolved from a historical figure into Mexican national myth that connotes all the negative aspects of womans sexuality in Mexican and Mexican-American Culture. Sandra Cisneros in her Never Marry A Mexican reinterpretsLa Malinchein a more positive light and points out how women sexuality can be the site for women empowerment.By drawing on insights from feminist theories on motherhood, marriage, and incest taboo, this study identifies the way Cisneros revises the negative image of La Malinche as a dupe, passive and submissive mistress. This study identifies that Cisneros has created a strong protagonist character named Clemencia, who exerts her subjectivity and claims for her sexual agency totransgress patriarchal construction of woman passive sexuality, imposition of maternal identity as asexual mother and taboo on incestuous relationship. Cisneross La Malinche is no longer depicted as the victim duped by the patriarchy, but as the survivor who is able to preserve her sense of herself in the dominating patriarchal world.DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2015.180103

Abstract

Distinguishing entailment from presupposition is quite difficult because their semanticrelation seems to be similar. Both entailment and presupposition have an automaticrelationship based on the context. However, those semantic relations can still bedifferentiated by using negation test to show whether a pair is entailment or presupposition.This research focuses on sentences and utterances. Thus, this research aims to analyze andtest pairs of entailment and pairs of presupposition by using negation in utterances. Thedata were twelve comic strips from the Internet and they were analysed by using a negation test. The analysis shows that negation test is useful to test entailment and presupposition inthe comic strips. It can be concluded that the difficulty of distinguishing pair of entailmentand presupposition in the comic strip using negation test has been successfully solved. Inthis case, negation test is suitable to test entailment and presupposition. This research canbe developed further by other researchers to distinguish entailment and presupposition byusing another test if the negation test cannot be used to any further extent.

Abstract

Proper responses must be provided interlocutors to make onversationproductive and meaningful. However, interlocutors do not always provide properresponses because they do not even know conversation rules. Grice coins 4 maximsas general rules to govern daily conversation. The maxims are Quantity, Quality,Relevance, and Manner. Conversation occurs in the real daily interaction also in artsincluding movies. The Prince and the Pauper movie is one of the media for humandaily conversation. Some parts of the movie contains violations of Grice`s maxims bythe characters. Based on this background, the writer intends to explore violations ofGrices maxims in the movie and analyze the purposes of the violations. To achievethese objectives, the writer formulates two research problems: (1) Which of Grice`smaxims are violated by the addressees in The Prince and the Pauper movie? (2) Forwhat purposes do the addressees violate the maxims? The base of this research is amovie script as document. Thus, the writer uses document analysis as the methodof this research. Grounded on the analysis, the writer finds that the characters, especially Prince, Tom Canty, King, and the Earl of Hertford in the movie dialoguesviolate the four of Grice`s maxims. When failing to provide sufficient information,telling lie to their addressers, providing irrelevant glosses, and failing to be true,brief, univocal, and orderly, they respectively violate maxims of Quantity, Quality,Relevance, and Manner. Moreover, the writer finds that the characters violate themaxims in order to mislead the counterparts, be polite, save face, avoid discussion,and communicate self-interest.

Abstract

This study reports an empirical investigation of the use of personal approach to integrating educational values in an English pre-service teacher education program. Using a Moodle-based Learning Management System called Exelsa, whichhas beeen in use in the past four years, each individual student received personalwritten responses from the instructor. Learning is perceived more as a journey todevelop self-knowledge that is not merely driven by instrumental orientations such asgrade-seeking mentality, rote memorization, and formalist-driven contents. A set ofanedoctal evidence suggested that highly personal notes addressed to each individualstudent brough significant change in the way each of them viewed himself or herselfin positive ways. When students felt highly appreciated as significant human beingsin the class, they were more likely to undergo learning more in a holistic manner. Ahumanistic philosophy of education necessitates such an approach to maintaininga relational trust among all class members. An instructor is supposedly skillful atnavigating the flows of class interactions, at times with unprecedented challenges. Arestropective study, this seeks to develop a better understanding as to whether suchan approach leaves a durable significance in their perspectives on learning.

Abstract

The News Production Management Study Program (NPMSP) in STMM MMTC Yogyakarta is a study program that has an English subject in the third semester. Due to the lack of time and materials for the students, English, which they will use a lot in journalism, becomes their barrier in learning. Therefore, this research attempted to develop a set of English instructional materials using task-based learning for the third semester students of the NPMSP STMM MMTC Yogyakarta. This research aimed to answer how the materials are developed and what the materials look like. To gather the information, the researcher adopted Borg Galls (1986) Research and Development (RD) method which was combined with Kemps instructional design model (1977) covering eight flexible steps. Due to time and financial constraints, only five steps of RD were conducted in designing the materials. To gather the information, the researcher conducted some interviews. After designing the materials, the interview was conducted. The interview results showed that the designed materials were good, appropriate, and applicable. Nine suggestions were obtained to revise the materials which covered the level of difficulty of the text, the content of the exercises, the overview of the learning materials, teaching media, lesson plans, instructions, layout, and material implementation. The materials consist of six units. Each unit contains five sessions, namely Whats Up?, Entering the Newsroom, Journalists Project, Entering the News Editor Room, and Lesson Learned.
