Abstract

Vocabulary is one of the most important aspects of language developments. Unfortunately, not all students have a good skill of memorizing vocabularies given by the teacher. Apparently, the students receive limited number of vocabulary items. They need a technique to help them easier in learning new vocabulary and keep it for long term memory. This paper discusses the effect of Total Physical Response in teacher’s storytelling on vocabulary mastery at seventh grade students in a private school in Surabaya. It was a quasi-experimental study. The writer used two groups, pretestposttest design. The experimental group was taught by using Total Physical Response-Story while the control group was taught by using translation. The research instrument used in this study is vocabulary test that consisted of 60 multiple-choice items that the students had to finish in 120 minutes. The stories were taken from 30 Teenage Stories by Children's Book Trust, New Delhi, and the participants will be grade seven of junior high school students in a state school in Surabaya. The result reveals that there is a different score between students who are taught by Total Physical Response and those who are taught by translation.

Abstract

Foucault pendulum experiment was conducted at the Physics Laboratory of Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya. The goal of the experiment was to measure the latitude of Surabaya. The experimental results showed that the latitude of Surabaya was in the interval of 8.43o S and 8.57o S with relative error of 0.85%. Comparing these values with the reference data, it was found out that the latitude of Surabaya is in the interval of 7.15 S and 7.35o S. The deviation of the experimental results from the reference values was around 14.7%. The main source of the deviation was the angle precision measurement of the device.

Abstract

This paper is an overview of empirical studies on language across curriculum. The emphasis of the review is on the ‘what’ and ‘how. The ‘what’ deals with the research areas and purposes. The ‘how’ deals with the approach and technique, setting and participants to set out the research. The purpose of the discussion that follows is to help us see what has been studied and how it has been researched. These discussions should help content and language specialists identify the range of factors related to English across the curriculum.

Abstract

As English serves as Lingua Franca in many parts of the world, cultural teaching and developing intercultural awareness have become important issues in EFL teaching. Therefore, cultural presentation and learning in English course book is one important issue to be investigated. This present study analyzes the presentation of culture and types of cultural exposure in a course book entitled English in Mind Students Book 3. The content analysis is based on the theory of Adaskou, et all (1990); Cortazzi & Jin (1999) and Xiao’s (2010), all of which posit that culture learning/teaching and the themes to accomplish this are important for contemporary ELT culture acquisition. The study finds that course book portrays culture mainly in the form of visual illustration. Subsequently, the source culture, the target culture and the international culture are found in unbalanced proportion where the target culture references are more dominant than the source culture and the international culture. There was a strong sense of a hierarchical representation of the inner circle world in which the British and the US cultures served as the supreme source. Investigating the result of cultural domain, small “c’ culture is highlighted over big ”C” culture. However, sixteen themes under big ”C” and small “c” are focused on the target culture. Cultural value and life style are the most frequent themes which appear in the course book.

Abstract

This research was intended to provide an analysis on English teacher’s locution influence towards students’ perlocution in an Indonesian EFL classroom as well as an elaboration towards the aspects influencing it. This research observed the flow between teachers’ locution and students’ perlocution within two different secondary grade EFL classes by analyzing the transcription of verbal recordings taken during a classroom interaction. This research revealed that the teacher-students verbal interaction within the EFL classroom sample, may be assessed through the students’ response; the use of English as the target language; the quantity of maxim disorders; the use of triggering questions, fillers, confirmation requests, and the rhetorical questions used by the students. On the other hand, aspects considered to be influential to build the students’ perlocution upon the teachers’ locution covered the teachers’ physical appearance and grooming, respect from the students, teaching method, ability to handle the class, relationship with the students, teaching style, voice quality, consistency in using English as the target language inside the classroom, and willingness to assist.
