Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study mainly describes the word level equivalence found in the translated dialogues in The Lightning Thief. The final project mainly aims at identifying the word level equivalence strategy in translating the dialogues of The Lightning Thief from English into Indonesian and identifying its word level equivalence meaning. The study focuses on the classification of word level equivalence offered by Mona Baker in her book In Other Words. The data obtained were analyzed by comparing both English and Indonesian versions. Words or phrases which contained any word level non-equivalence were analyzed further to find out the context in which it occured. Then the data analyzed were evaluated its word level equivalent meaning. The evaluation involved some raters who are expert in their field.The finding show that: the strategies used by the translator to overcome the problems in translating the dialogue are translation by paraphrase using related word (24.11%), translation by a more specific word (18.43%), translation by paraphrase using unrelated word (14.89%), translation by a more general word (14.19%), translation by omission (13.48%),translation by more expressive or less neutral word (8.51%) and translation by using loan word or loan word plus explanation (6.39%). Word level equivalence meaning in the strategies: translation by using loan word  (92.59%) was the strategy whose data were got higher result of score 3 (meaning is sufficiently renderred) by three raters, translation by a more general word  (36.67%) was the strategy whose data were got higher result of score 2 (meaning is insufficiently), and translation by omission was the strategy whose data were got higher result of score 1 (59.65%). Suggestion drawn from this study is that to transfer meaning of the source text into the target text accurately, the translator should decide to make choices in each word or phrases, and choose the most suitable strategies that can overcome problems and difficulties of translation, especially problems of non-equivalence at word level.

Mostly students of Junior High School have difficulties in their speaking skill, especially in interpersonal conversation. It is because they have to concern with the material and also the practice of the conversation itself. So, some techniques should be carried out to make speaking easier and interesting. One of the techniques to teach speaking is bamboo-dancing technique which is one of cooperative learning technique, in which students are placed in two lines to see each other and make conversation (Suprijono (2009:98)).

Abstract

This journal is based on an experimental study involving the fourth graders of SDN Jatibarang 01 in the academic year of 2012/2013. The objective of this study is to prove the effectiveness of pictured bilingual dictionary to improve the vocabulary mastery of elementary school students. The study involved two groups of students that were experimental and control groups. During the treatment, students in experimental group used pictured bilingual dictionary, while students in control group used non-pictured bilingual dictionary. The design was pretest-post test design. According to the pretest result that had been analyzed by using t-test formula, there was no significant difference in the vocabulary mastery of both groups (0,095<1,721, df = 21, ? = 5%). However, the post test result showed that the vocabulary mastery of experimental group is significantly different with the vocabulary mastery of control group. It is proven by the result of t-test analysis toward the post test result in which tvalue exceeds ttable (1,911>1,721, df = 21, ? = 5%). As a result, pictured bilingual dictionary is more effective compared to non-pictured bilingual dictionary to improve the vocabulary mastery of elementary school students. Therefore, I suggest the students to have pictured bilingual dictionaries compared to non-pictured bilingual ones. I also suggest the institution to equip the school library with pictured bilingual dictionaries to ease the students get the dictionaries and to facilitate the English learning process.

Then, the experimental group is taught by using charade game whereas the control group is taught by using conventional method. The results from post-tests show that the average score of experimental group is 87.26 whereas the average score of the control group is 79.26. After calculating by t-test, the result of the t-value is 3.05 and t-table is 2.006. The t-value of the post test is higher than the critical value means that statistically there is significant difference between two groups. Since the experimental group gets higher average scores (87.26 > 79.26), it can be concluded that teaching vocabulary using charade game results better achievement.

Abstract

The implementation of the newest curriculum (Curriculum 2013) leads some elementary schools to finally exclude English from the schools subjects. However, some elementary schools that keep teaching English as a subject still cannot provide appropriate English teaching media, especially to teach vocabulary. In this study, the researcher aimed to know the problems faced by the English teacher and the fourth grade students of SD N 2 Sekaran in the vocabulary teaching and learning, and also to know how to develop teaching media of Kangaroo Smart Frieze. The Research and Development (R & D) approach was adopted by conducting the preliminary survey, designing and developing the prototype of the product, conducting limited testing and product validation, having a revision process and describing the research result. The subjects of the study were the fourth grade students of SD N 2 Sekaran in the academic year of 2013/2014. The instruments used were questionnaires, interview guideline and test. According to the interview to the English teacher and students, it can be concluded that the vocabulary teaching media Kangaroo Smart frieze needs to be developed with the focus on the quality of the media and also the variety of games played. The development of Kangaroo Smart Frieze was started by observing and interviewing the English teacher and students. After doing that, the process was continued by planning the data collecting instrument of vocabulary teaching media. The main consideration was based on the English curriculum (syllabus) of the fourth grade students of elementary school and also some related theories. Moreover, the data collecting instrument was arranged into two main parts which included the need analysis of the students and English teacher. The further step was designing the prototype. The development process was then followed by other steps; product validation, try-out (limited testing) and revision of Kangaroo Smart Frieze. The results of the students’ test by using Kangaroo Smart Frieze as the vocabulary teaching media, and also the assessment from the experts were very good. Therefore, it could be concluded that Kangaroo Smart Frieze has a good prospect to be used in the vocabulary teaching and learning process. As suggestion, the teachers should always try to choose appropriate vocabulary teaching media, and the future researchers should conduct better research and development to develop better vocabulary teaching media for elementary school students.
