THE TOTAL COMMUNICATION FOR HEARING-IMPAIRED STUDENTS IN LEARNING ENGLISH

This study aims to discuss the use of Total Communication (TC, henceforth), the combinations of communication modes, and the reasons for using TC for hearing-impaired (HI) students of English class at SLB PGRI Kamal. Teaching English to them is believed to require more strategic approaches especially when compared to students who do not have any hearing issues. The data are from four HI students at SLB PGRI Kamal and their English teacher. In collecting the data, observation, note taking and recording were used as the instruments in which during taking note and observation, the researchers used phone recorder and phone camera to anticipate the data from lost and for further analysis. The results show that there are seven communication modes that were used. Those are lip-reading, sign language, images, writing, Indonesian Alphabetic Symbol System (IAS), finger spelling, and speech. Those modes are combined depending on the needs of the users (both English teacher and HI students). Therefore, the researcher found six combinations of modes in TC. Moreover, the researchers found five reasons for using TC for HI students in the English classroom at SLB PGRI Kamal. It is because of its flexibility and effectiveness in communication. Futhermore, TC gives chances to HI students to learn to speak, write and read in English, and allow the HI students to make English sounds and identify them

THE PRODUCTION OF ENGLISH CONSONANTS /θ/ AND /ð/ BY ENGLISH DEPARTMENT STUDENTS

Indonesians have been taking much concern in English since it has been applied in formal education curricula. Also, not all Indonesians are familiar with English pronunciation, especially its characteristics in phonemes. Some English consonants even do not exist in Indonesian consonants such as the sounds /θ/ and /ð/ categorized as voiceless and voiced interdental fricatives. Due to this concern, this study investigates the production of English voiced and voiceless interdental consonants uttered by English Department students as non-native speakers of English using the Praat application. There were eight undergraduate first-year English major students as the respondents. The researcher gave them eighteen words consisting of /θ/ and /ð/ sounds in initial, medial, and final word-position. The data are in audio recordings. The result revealed that most students changed the voiced interdental fricative into consonants such as /d/ and /t/. This inappropriate way also happened when they produced voiceless interdental fricatives. They changed /θ/ sound into consonant sounds such as /d/ and /t/.

PEMAKNAAN DEKONSTRUKSI KONSEP PEREMPUAN IDEAL DALAM FILM PENGABDI SETAN (2017)

This article aims to reveal the deconstruction meaning of the ideal women concept in film Pengabdi Setan through the characters of Mother and Grandmother. Jacques Derrida's concept is used in this study to see how text can be interpreted not only in a single meaning but also another meaning, as a main characteristic of deconstruction is to reveal the meanings that are marginalized, ignored, and hidden. We use deconstruction reading methodology to reveal the hidden meanings in the film Pengabdi Setan (2017). By deconstructing a concept of women which presented by mother and grandmother figures, we found several results were obtained such as the concept of ideal women that admitted in our society still shackles women so that if a woman does not conform to the ideal concept prevailing in society, then what will happen is a catastrophe. In Indonesian society which is still strongly conduct to patriarchal values, women are often alienated and negatively stigmatized if they cannot bear children. Reproductive tasks that are carried out by women are shown and regulated according to the wishes of society, for example when she should get pregnant and how many children will be conceived and born. The mother has to take care of her husband, children, and household. Society has constructed women as ideal figures who serve their husbands and work fully in the domestic area, such as taking care of kitchens, wells, and mattresses. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap pemaknaan dekonstruksi konsep perempuan ideal dalam film Pengabdi Setan melalui tokoh ibu dan nenek. Konsep Jacques Derrida digunakan dalam penelitian ini untuk melihat bagaimana teks mampu dimaknai tidak hanya dalam pemaknaan tunggal karena inti dari dekonstruksi adalah menyingkap makna-makna yang dipinggirkan, diabaikan, dan disembunyikan. Penulis menggunakan metodologi pembacaan dekonstruksi untuk menyingkap makna yang tersembunyi dalam film Pengabdi Setan (2017). Dengan mendekonstruksi konsep perempuan yang dihadirkan melalui tokoh ibu dan nenek, didapat beberapa hasil penelitian, di antaranya konsep perempuan ideal yang berkembang di masyarakat masih membelenggu perempuan sehingga jika perempuan tidak sesuai dengan konsep ideal yang berlaku di masyarakat, yang terjadi adalah malapetaka. Dalam masyarakat Indonesia yang masih sarat dengan nilai patriarki, perempuan sering diasingkan dan distigmakan negatif jika ia tidak dapat melahirkan anak. Tugas reproduksi yang dijalankan perempuan diperlihatkan dan diatur sesuai dengan kehendak masyarakat, misalnya kapan ia harus hamil dan berapa banyak anak yang akan dikandung dan dilahirkan. Ibu harus mengurus suami, anak-anak, dan rumah tangganya. Masyarakat telah mengkonstruksi perempuan sebagai sosok yang ideal, yang mengabdi pada suami dan bekerja sepenuhnya di wilayah domestik, seperti mengurus dapur, sumur, dan kasur.

A STUDY OF THE TRANSLATION OF GOOGLE TRANSLATE

ABSTRACT This study is intended to analyze errors made by Google Translate in translating Eliza Riley’s Return to Paradise short story. The method is qualitative descriptive. The data are collected by comparing the translation of Google Translate with that of a professional translator. The errors are analyzed based on Mossop’s revision parameters. The findings show that Google Translate failed to recognize idiomatic expressions which caused fatal errors in the target text; errors in word choice that caused word translated out of context; and illogical sentence at the target text caused by cultural difference. As a conclusion, Google Translate may be useful to help translate few words, phrase, and particular sentence in general, and also gives a general comprehension in translating text. However, it may not give an adequate result as a fine translation product. Keyword: google translate, error analysis, Mossop’s revision parameters
