EFL TEACHERS’ AND LEARNERS’ PERCEPTION OF NEGOTIATED SYLLABUS: AN EFFECTIVE WAY OF IMPROVING SPEAKING ABILITY
Get PDFThe appropriateness of learning material for learners’ interests and professions is highly important. The more relevant learning materials and learners’ interests, the easier it is for them to participate in a conversation. This research aimed to investigate the EFL teachers’ and learners’ perception of the negotiated syllabus and the improvement of learners’ English speaking ability. This research employed a descriptive qualitative research method in which data collected through documents and in-depth interviews. The subject of this research consisted of five EFL teachers and ten EFL learners. The qualitative results showed both teachers and learners giving positive responses in learning speaking English through the negotiated syllabus. In addition to learners’ responses, the negotiated syllabus has facilitated the learners in improving their English speaking ability to be taught based on their needs and wants. On the other hand, vocabulary and comprehension, the speaking skills elements, were improved more than other speaking skill elements
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
MENINGKATKAN KECERDASAN BERBAHASA SISWA SEKOLAH MENENGAH ATAS DENGAN PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA INGGRIS DENGAN FUN AND COMMUNICATIVE ENGLISH
Get PDFKemampuan berbahasa Inggris menjadi tuntutan bagi Sumber Daya Manusia di era globalisasi ini. Di Indonesia, bahasa Inggris dijadikan mata pelajaran atau mata kuliah wajib bagi mahasiswa dan siswa sekolah menengah atas sebagai upaya mempersiapkan daya saing dan kualitas Sumber Daya Manusia dalam menghadapi persaingan global. Kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan dan kemampuan siswa dalam berbahasa Inggris khususnya keterampilan dan kemampuan membaca dalam bahasa Inggris (reading) dan menulis dalam bahasa Inggris (writing) dengan metode yang menyenangkan dan komunikatif yaitu melalui metode Free Writing untuk peningkatan kemampuan menulis bahasa Inggris dan Cooperative Learning untuk peningkatan kemampuan membaca bahasa Inggris. Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilaksanakan di SMAN 1 Wonomulyo, Polewali Mandar, dengan peserta sebanyak 135 siswa dari 4 kelas yang berbeda selama 3 bulan yakni sejak Mei hingga Agustus 2023. Tim pengabdi menggunakan test yakni pre test dan post test untuk mencari tahu efektivitas perlakuan dalam kegiatan ini. Hasil kegiatan pengabdian ini menunjukkan peningkatan kemampuan bahasa Inggris setelah diterapkan metode-metode yang menyenangkan dan komunikatif dimana terjadi peningkatan skor rata-rata siswa sebanyak 13.94 dari rata-rata nilai pre test secara keseluruhan 73.71 meningkat pada post test dengan rata-rata nilai 87.65, secara rinci kemampuan menulis bahasa Inggris siswa meningkat sebanyak 16.59 poin dimana nilai pre test writing yang diperoleh adalah 67.81 yang kemudian meningkat menjadi 84.4 pada post test dan kemampuan membaca bahasa Inggris siswa meningkat sebanyak 11.29 dimana rata-rata skor pre test reading yang diperoleh adalah 79.61 yang meningkat pada post test menjadi 90.9. Siswa siswi pun menunjukkan minat dan respon yang positif selama proses kegiatan pengabdian ini, mereka menunjukkan antusiasme dan interaksi selama proses pembelajaran
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
