THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF INVOLVING SPEAKING AND WRITING TEST IN NATIONAL EXAMINATION FOR SMA GRADUATION
Get PDFThis article is to analyze and observe how far is the contribution of writing and speaking test in National Examination and their implementation in the evaluation process during the process of learning. Based on the analysis it was found that the English subject tested in national examinations is dominantly measure the cognitive competence of the students because the content of the test question is only consist of listening and reading skill.There are six types of speaking: speaking confidently, informal conversation, interviews, in the work place, beauty pageants, general speaking skills, pantomime script, teacher, extemporaneous speaking.In mastering writing skill, students have to own much knowledge of grammar,knowing well about punctuation and sentence structure as well as rich vocabulary, correct spelling and formatting.In other words it could be said that it is very important to involve the speaking and writing test during the learning process to train students to be able to pass the English National Examination. By mastering speaking and writing skill SMA graduation will be able follow some sort of TOEFL or IELTS test to continue their studies abroad, or get a job at the company, it takes skill to speak and write in the interview test
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
STUDENTS’ PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED DURING LISTENING ACTIVITIES IN STKIP AL MAKSUM LANGKAT
Get PDFThis study investigated students’ problem encountered during listeningactivities in STKIP Al Maksum Langkat. The subjects wereeighty-three students of the first semester of English Department StudyProgram. Basic qualitative studies suggest by Ary adopted in thisstudy. Questionaries and interview administered in order to collect thedata. The data informed that there were difficulties faced by thestudents in the listening activities, they were the speakers’ speed, theaccent of the speaker, unknown words, and difficulties in recognizingmain points. It was expected that enhancing students’ motivation topractice listening with authentic materials and in every learningactivities administering authentic materials deemed necessary in orderto insincere a real situation of native talks and conversation tounderstand the culture and points in their talks. Acquiring amounts ofvocabularies expected enhanced by the students in order to ease thelistening activities
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
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
