Developing Critical Thinking Skills in Language Teaching: Oral Interpretation Class
Full text linkCritical Thinking Skill (CTS) is one of the skills that is required to survive in this globalization era. Peopleneed this skill to innovate in technology to increase education quality and to produce outstanding humanresources. However, not many Indonesian learners master this kind of skill. There are still some constraints in applying this skill into action. Both teachers and students have difficulties in implementing this skill in the classroom. This paper aims at producing innovative CTS strategies that are easily conducted in language teaching. The language teaching in this paper is specified in teaching oral interpretation class in which the students are expected to be able to apply CTS to master both receptive skills, listening and understanding audio visual teaching media, and productive skills, producing appropriate oral interpretation skills to bridge the gap between two languages. Constructing questions while watching audio-visual media and taking notes to supplement short term memory is the first innovation in CTS teaching. The second one is taking the essential notes using signs, symbols and figures to get the essence of the source language. Demonstrating a role play in oral interpretation is the final activity in this teaching and learning process
TRANSLATION STRATEGIES ADOPTED BY ENGLISH DEPARTMENT STUDENTS IN COPING WITH NON EQUIVALENCE PROBLEMS
Full text linkTranslation skill is undoubtedly needed by university students to uncover the problems in
understanding textbooks written in English. Despite the need, there are still few students using appropriate
strategies to help them comprehend the textbooks. This is due to their lack of understanding in the theories of
translation which more or less help them translate the textbooks well. This paper is intended to find out
appropriate strategies adopted by English department students in coping with problems with non equivalence.
Sixty five English department students have participated in this small survey. The data were collected by asking
the students to translate three different genres of texts, from informational text, literary text and news. From the
translation process, the students will face problems with non equivalence from each different genre of a text.
This small survey revealed the common translation strategies adopted by the English department students in
translating informational text, literary text and news. The underlying finding will reveal the typical strategies
used to deal with the problems of non equivalence in informational text, literary text and news. At the end of the
paper, it is suggested that the students undergo more practice in translation using the seven strategies of
translation.

DESIGNING A SYLLABUS OF COLLABORATIVE ENGLISH TEACHING FOR PHYSICS STUDY PROGRAM
Full text linkThe recommended model of teaching English
for students of non-English department is collaborative
teaching which provides subject lecturer‘s involvement
in the curriculum design. This paper reported the
process of designing a syllabus of collaborative teaching
for ESP teaching in Indonesian context. As a part of
curriculum design, this ESP syllabus focuses on content
area reading in the area of physics. Several text types
commonly used in physics department and vocabulary
building of academic word lists and the ones related to
physics area study were elaborated as well. The paper
concludes that the implementation of this program
needs high commitment from the stakeholders in order
to make the program successfully implemented
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
