Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a crucial factor in language learning and it can be problematic for bilingual young learners of the preoperational stage. Matteo Ricci, a Jesuit missionary to China, was able to teach Chinese by using and developing an ancient mnemonic method called the memory palace technique, which then became a widely recognized language learning technique. The current researchers sought to discover whether or not the principles of Matteo Ricci’s memory palace technique were still relevant to today’s language learning context and applicable in designing English vocabulary learning media. The present research focused on the detailed aspects of the technique and to the guiding principles of educational media to learn English vocabulary items. The current research produced a prototype for a set of vocabulary learning media that could later be implemented, tested, evaluated and developed by other instructors and future researchers interested in the subject.

Abstract

Cohesion plays an important role in building the readability and comprehension of a text. Instead of lexical, reference, substitution, and reference, the conjunction is also important in a text. One of which is “thus” which shows how the message is packaged in the text. Journal articles become the major source for scholars to share and connect their ideas. The ‘standard’ writing including content and format is one of the concerns in the article publication. The employment of conjunction in the article is important to show the author’s logical connection between her or his ideas. By employing discourse analysis by Halliday and Hassan, this paper aims at finding out the cohesion of journal articles of applied linguistics seen from the employment of conjunction “thus” adopting Martin and Rose’s theory on a logical connection. Purposive sampling method was conducted by taking forty journal articles on applied linguistics. AntConc, a corpus web, was employed to help the researches figure out how conjunction “thus” is used in the text in building the cohesion of the data.

Abstract

The ambiguities and interpretations, and perceptions of a content-based work psychologically and critically can be occurred for clarifying of the cognition, insight, and vision of the individual learners in their own learning especially in language learning. These conditions are usually viewed in real novels affecting the learning process in term of psychological understanding of the conceptual meanings of the text interpretation. The present review paper is based on the assimilation of the main author and the researcher’ perspective and perception of a real story. Thus, the creative approaches in language teaching can attract particular attention to the realistic perception of a text. As a result, the aim of the present study is to criticize and assimilates the place of characters of the book based on ‘relevance-theory’ to foster learner's perception, self-absorption, self-abnegation in a content-based study. This study is an exclusive one which is likely to personalize and animate the elements of the book.
