RESIL MOJARES AND THE CRISIS OF COMPARATIVE LITERATURE IN THE PHILIPPINES
Get PDFAfter its heyday from the 1950s until the early 1970s, a crisis in the field of comparative literature was declared present by its practitioners during the 1980s. The effects of the perceived crisis were felt not only during conferences but also through brutal budget cuts and the downsizing of comparative literature departments across the world. In the decades that followed, various attempts to address the crisis were made by critics such as Franco Moretti, Pascale Casanova, Alexander Beecroft, among many others. As a result, methods and concepts such as “distant reading,” “evolutionary literary history,” “literary ecologies,” and “world republic of letters” easily became the theoretical and methodological bulwark of numerous comparative literature departments against the perceived effects of the crisis. Incidentally, in his seminal Origins and Rise of the Filipino Novel, Resil Mojares deployed similar ideas and concepts, however, to different ends. This paper, then, is first an attempt to analyze Mojares’ deployment of the said concepts and methods vis-à-vis to that of Beecroft, Casanova, and Moretti’s. Finally, the paper also seeks to identify and elaborate on specific implications and possibilities made visible by Mojares’ methodological interventions in the field and practice of comparative literature in the Philippines.Keywords: Crisis, comparative literature, literary history, Mojares, methodological intervention, Philippines.Cite as: Mendoza III, A.A.G.

PERWATAKAN WANITA MELAYU MUSLIM DALAM NOVEL ‘DIARI SEORANG JURURAWAT’ KARYA AMINAH MOKHTAR [THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A MALAY MUSLIM WOMAN IN THE NOVEL ‘DIARI SEORANG JURURAWAT’ BY AMINAH MOKHTAR]
Get PDFThis paper aims to analyse the characteristics of a Muslim Malay woman as portrayed in the novel titled ‘Diary of a Nurse’ by Aminah Mokhtar from the perspective of Feminism Talbiah. The concept of Feminism Talbiah integrates Elaine Showalter’s notion of Feminism and Yusuf al-Qardhawi’s thoughts of Muslim women. Talbiah means a total surrender to Allah SWT. Tauhid is an essential element of a Muslim Malay woman who engages in total surrender to Allah SWT in terms of her personality, psychology, spiritual and other aspects of life. Textual analysis of the novel reveals that the main character, who is a Muslim Malay woman named Siti Munirah, holds the concept of talbiah as reflected in her obedience to Allah SWT. This paper concludes the character of Siti Munirah is developed based on the element of tauhid, which is the element neglected in the western feminism.Keywords: Feminism, feminism Talbiah, female character, Ginocritic, Malay, Muslim, tauhid.Cite as: Ali, A.H., & Abdullah, I.R.

الإضافة والحذف في دبلجة مسلسل الرسوم المتحركة (أوبين وإيبين) من الملايوية إلى العربية[ADDITION AND OMISSION IN THE DUBBING OF ANIMATED SERIES (UPIN DAN IPIN) FROM MALAY TO ARABIC]
No full textThis paper demonstrates the concept of dubbing in translating movies. Dubbing basically is to substitute the original language used in a movie for another language by imitating the original voice. Dubbing is truly significant as it can overcome the language barrier. It also helps the audience who cannot understand the original language to enjoy the movie. Dubbing relies on the concept of timing synchronization as the translated dialogue has to be fully synchronized with lip movements of the original actors; in which dubbers must start and finish their dialogues within the time frame taken by the original actors. Employing comparative and analytical methods, this study examined the dubbing of animated series (Upin dan Ipin) from Malay to Arabic. It aims to compare the original dialogue and its translation in order to explain addition and omission approaches in the dubbing process. The findings reveal that addition and omission approaches are frequently used in the dubbing. To produce a high quality dubbing which exactly looks like the original, the translators have no option but to apply addition and omission approaches in order to explain difficult phrases and omit what cannot be translated.Keywords: Dubbing, translation, addition and omission, animation, animated series Upin dan IpinCite as: Haji Ibrahim, M. & Abdul Raup, F.S.

ON COURT PROCEEDINGS: A FORENSIC LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS ON MAXIM VIOLATION
Get PDFEmploying forensic linguistic analysis, this qualitative study describes violations on conversational maxims in Philippine court proceedings. Twenty transcripts of riminal cases from the Regional Trial Court of Kidapawan City, Philippines were used as corpora in this study. It was found that the four maxims of conversation – quantity, quality, relation, and manner are violated during court trials. Violations of maxim on quantity occur when witnesses provide more than enough information and not enough information to answer questions. Violations of maxim on quality, on the other hand, occur when witnesses provide hearsay or use words/phrases that indicate uncertainty such as I think, maybe, and perhaps. Maxim on relation is violated when witnesses provide irrelevant answers to questions. Violations of the maxim of manner occur when witnesses respond vaguely or have their answers stated in a long drawn-out way. The findings of this study show that violations of cooperative maxim in conversation cause the message conveyed to be misleading and this results in further court discussion and long drawn cross examination. Violating a maxim suggests that the conversation participants are careless and sloppy thus they can be understood as troubled, baffled and confused.Keywords: Court proceedings, forensic linguistics, maxims of conversation, Philippines, transcript of stenographic notesCite as: Ceballos, C.T & Sosas, R.V.

TEACHING PRACTICUM OF AN ENGLISH TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM IN VIETNAM: FROM EXPECTATIONS TO REALITY
Get PDFTeaching practicum is very essential in the process of learning how to teach, so it should be paid great attention by not only teacher education program designers but also implementators. The paper reports a study on the efficiency of teaching practicum which has been conducted at Public University (pseudonym) in Vietnam. The research employed qualitative approach, and semi-structured interviews were used as the instrument for the data collection. Findings reveal that the implementation of the teaching practicum did not provide student teachers with sufficient chances to develop their teaching skill efficiently. Inappropriate method of implementing the teaching practicum, loose cooperation between the university and high schools, and insufficient support are major issues that caused the teaching practicum to be ineffective. Peer mentoring and a more suitable method of implementing the internship are recommended solutions to improve the effectiveness of the teaching practicum in the English Teacher Education Program at Public University in particular and other English teacher education programs in Vietnam in general.Keywords: Educational program, peer mentoring, teacher education, teaching practicum, teaching skills, VietnamCite as: Vo, T.K.A., Pang, V., & Kean Wah, L.

إعداد شخصية الشباب المسلم لمواجهة مشاكل الجنسية في ضوء القرآن الكريم والأحاديث المختارة PREPARATION OF MUSLIM YOUTH IN FACING SEXUAL ISSUES IN THE LIGHT OF AL-QUR’AN & SELECTED HADITH
No full textPre-marital pregnancy, fornication, and free mixing between different genders are among the problems faced by Muslim youth nowadays. This paper aims to discuss the personality preparation guidelines in facing sexual activities based on the Story of Prophet Yusuf in al-Qur’an al-Karim as well as selected prophet’s narration in Hadith. The descriptive analysis shows that Qur’an and selected Hadith prepare four dimensions of guidelines which are: spiritual strength, mental strength, emotional strength as well as physical strength. The findings reveal that in terms of spirituality aspect, Muslim youth should be fully conscious of the existence of Allah and think of the bounty divine given by Allah. In terms of mental strength, Muslim youth must have positive thinking and consider the long term effects in this world and next before engaging themselves in the negative activities. Pertaining to emotional strength, Muslim youth should control their anger, and pertaining to physical strength, they need to keep their body healthy.

SELF-EFFICACY, SCIENTIFIC REASONING, AND LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT IN THE STEM PROJECT-BASED LEARNING LITERATURE
Get PDFThe main goal of education is to prepare students for future job opportunities and civic responsibilities, and this is one of the biggest challenges in the 21st century. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Project-Based Learning (PjBL) prepare students to master their new role as a global citizen with greater responsibilities. This systematic review analyzed 265 papers that are related to the STEM PjBL. The papers were collected from well-known databases such as Web of Science® and SCOPUS by using the quality assessment and relevant criteria. This study inspected the top 48 distinguished papers by covering three dimensions, Search result, Subject, and Research methodology. STEM and PjBL come together, due to the natural overlap between the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and PjBL. The fully integrated STEM with PjBL can increase the effectiveness of teaching. Nonetheless, this inspection uncovered that previous research has not fully integrated STEM with PjBL. Thus, despite the wealth of existing research, there are still significant opportunities for future research on STEM PjBL in high schools to prepare students for 21st century challenges.Keywords: Enhanced teaching and learning, 21st century skills, project-based learning STEM, systematic literature reviewsCite as: Jamali, S.M., Md Zain, A.N., Samsudin, M.A., & Ebrahim, N.A.

EVALUATING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ACTION RESEARCH COURSE IN AN IN-SERVICE TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM IN VIETNAM
Get PDFThe study investigated the effectiveness of Action Research Course, one of the five component courses of the in-service English teacher training program implemented by National Foreign Language 2020 Project in Vietnam. The primary purpose of the course is to help in-service teachers of English develop the ability to do action research in their teaching context. How effective the course is, what alternative strategies can be used for the implementation of the course, what problems prevent the course from meeting the need of the course’s participants, and what improvements should be made were examined in this study. The evaluation on the implementation of the Action Research applies Context, Input, Process and Product (CIPP) model, which is developed by Stuffflebeam to assess strengths and weaknesses of the course for accountability and improvement. A total of 30 in-service teachers of English were interviewed and course documents were reviewed to generate data. Data analysis reveals that the course is effective to develop in-service teachers’ ability to do action research though improvements should be made to textbook and practice session of the course.Keywords: Action research, CIPP model, evaluation, in-service teacher training, The National Foreign Language 2020 projectCite as: Anh, V.T.K.

THE CONCEPT OF PANGAWINAN IN THE MUSIC PERFORMANCE OF TALEMPONG RENJEANG ANAM SALABUHANIN LUHAK NAN TIGO MINANGKABAU
Get PDFThis article discusses the concept of Pangawinan in the performance of talempong Renjeang Anam Salabuhan in Luhak Nan Tigo Minangkabau. As a concept, there are two different understandings of pangawinan, namely: (1) pangawinan with a small ‘p’, which is the philosophical basis for the formation of a pair of talempong as a musical system – implemented through the methods lipek duo and dipatukakan (doubling and interchanging); (2) Pangawinan with a capital ‘P’, which is used to refer to a pair of talempong, Pangawinan – Paningkah duo. As a musical system, talempong renjeang consists of three pairs of talempong instruments, known as the talempong Jantan, talempong Paningkah or Paningkah Satu, and talempong Pangawinan or Paningkah Duo. This research employed a theoretical concept based on the philosophy tali tigo sapilin, tungku nan tigo sajarangan – a three-way pattern; a trilogy of reasoning in the Minangkabau community. The formation of the three-way pattern begins with a two-way or bipolar pattern, and the third position emerges as a counterbalance to create harmony. The main data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentations. The findings show that the concept of pangawinan in the performance of talempong renjeang anam salabuhan functions to provide a certainty in the creation of the talempong melody (guguah) in order to achieve raso batalun (aesthetical pleasure).Keywords: Indonesia, Luhak Nan Tigo, Minangkabau, pangawinan, talempong renjeang anam salabuhanCite as: Sastra, A.I., Anwar, Od.M.
