Get PDFAn Analysis of Interlanguage Performed by Students of an Islamic Boarding School in Tasikmalaya
No full textThis descriptive study aims at: (1) finding out and describe the phonological,lexical, and syntactic forms of English language learners’ inter language, and (2)finding out whether there are any differences in the inter language of the learners ofdifferent grades. The subjects of this research were 24 learners of the first, second,and third grade of an Islamic boarding school in Tasikmalaya. The data werecollected from students’ conversations, interviews, and reading aloud. The datawere recorded and transcribed. Then, the data were filtered by using Corder’sprocedure. The results of the research reveal the existence of the following aspectsin the learners’ inter language: (1) phonological transfers, (2) lexical transfers, (3)syntactic transfers, (4) phonological overgeneralizations, (5) lexicalovergeneralizations, and (6) syntactic overgeneralizations. This research also foundout some differences in the inter language of the students of different grades

READING PORTFOLIO AS A SUPPLEMENTARY ACTIVITY TO LEVERAGE STUDENTS’ READING COMPETENCY
Get PDFReading as one of the skills constructing English competency has a special portion in the curriculum of English studies programs at higher education institutions. The prevalent purpose of reading classes is to enable students to grasp knowledge from any type of text written in English. This skill could be achieved through learning a series of techniques and strategies in reading, and most importantly extensive reading activities. However, the fact that the class weights as much as 2 credits (SKS) does not give sufficient training time to achieve the maximum target. Hence, an out-of-class activity should be imposed, such as reading portfolio. This paper seeks to address the criteria of a good reading portfolio, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of this supplementary reading activity given to the students of the English Education program of IAIN Purwokerto. The data are collected through documenting the findings of previous researches on the criteria of a good reading portfolio, interviewing student-sample, and observing the process of reading portfolio given to the students of IAIN Purwokerto. The results showed that a reading portfolio should contain the purpose of the course, the text liked and picked by the students, clear scoring criteria, and continuous evaluation. The strengths of reading portfolio are evoking students’ interest for reading, instilling reading habit, and promoting learning autonomy and self-evaluation, the weaknesses are lack of resources, complex vocabulary and structure, and less motivation.Membaca sebagai salah satu keterampilan yang membentuk kompetensi bahasa Inggris, memiliki porsi khusus dalam kurikulum program studi bahasa Inggris di perguruan tinggi. Di kelas Membaca, siswa dilatih untuk terbiasa membaca teks bahasa Inggris melalui penerapan keterampilan membaca. Namun, alokasi waktu yang direkomendasikan dalam kurikulum tidak cukup untuk mencapai target maksimum, kegiatan ekstra yang bisa dilakukan di luar kelas harus diberikan, seperti reading portfolio. Makalah ini berupaya untuk membahas komponen-komponen reading portfolioyang baik, serta keunggulan (strengths) dan kelemahan (weaknesses) dari kegiatan membaca tambahan yang diberikan kepada mahasiswa program Tadris Bahasa Inggris IAIN Purwokerto. Data dikumpulkan dengan mendokumentasikan temuan penelitian sebelumnya tentang kriteria portofolio bacaan yang baik, mewawancarai sampel, dan mengamati proses reading portfolioyang diberikan kepada mahasiswa IAIN Purwokerto. Hasilnya kemudian dijelaskan dalam laporan deskriptif
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
