THE USE OF STORYTELLING TECHNIQUE IN TEACHING VOCABULARY TO YOUNG LEARNERS: A case study in One of English for Young Learner Courses in Bandung
Full text linkTeaching English vocabulary for young learners should be adjusted to young learners’ characteristics. Hence, this paper is conducted to investigate the implementation of storytelling technique in teaching vocabulary to young learners and to find out the benefits and the challenges faced by the teachers during the teaching and learning process in English for young learner course in Bandung.
In this research, case study design is employed to get in depth understanding on how the activities in the classrooms are carried out. The data were obtained from non-participant classroom observation, interview, and field notes. The data collected from classroom observation and interview were transcribed and then analyzed by using framework for planning story-based work (Brewester, Ellis and Girrad, 2002). In addition, the data also were analyzed using the framework of activities for storytelling (Wright, 2008).
The findings revealed that the teachers applied the four steps of storytelling technique in teaching vocabulary to young learners. The first step was the teachers’ preparation (designing lesson plan, selecting stories, and setting the seat position). The second step was the activities before storytelling (introducing new vocabularies). The next step was the activities during storytelling (telling stories), and the last step was the activities after storytelling (reviewing the vocabularies given) (Wright, 2008). Another result was the use of storytelling can help students’ attention last longer because the method employs stories that children like.
Referring to findings, it is suggested that the storytelling is used in teaching vocabulary to young learners, to provide enjoyable learning environment and to give chance to children to enhance their vocabulary mastery.
Pengajaran kosa kata bahasa Inggris kepada anak-anak sebaiknya disesuaikan dengan karakteristik anak-anak. Oleh sebab itu, Penelitian ini bertujuan utuk menginvestigasi penggunaan teknik storytelling dalam pengajaran kosa kata pada anak-anak dan untuk mencari tahu kelebihan-kelebihan serta kesulitan-kesulitan yang dihadapi para guru dalam proses belajar-mengajar di salah satu tempat les di Bandung.
Dalam penelitian ini, studi kasus dilakukan untuk mencari tahu lebih medalam bagaimana aktivitas tersebut dilakukan di kelas. Data tersebut diambil dari non-partisipan observasi kelas, wawancara, dan catatan peneliti di kelas. Data yang sudah didapatkan melalui observasi kelas dan wawancara kemudian ditranskrip dan dianalisis menggunakan teori story-based (Brewster, Ellis, Girrad, 2002). Selain itu, data juga dianalisis menggunakan teori aktivitas-aktivitas dalam storytelling (Wright, 2008).
Hasil dari penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa guru-guru mengaplikasikan empat tahap dalam penggunaan teknik storytelling pada anak-anak. Tahap yang pertama yaitu persiapan guru-guru sebelum mengajar (membuat lesson plan, memilih cerita, dan mengatur posisi duduk di kelas). Tahap yang kedua adalah aktivitas-aktivitas yang dilakukan sebelum memberikan storytelling kepada siswa (memperkenalkan kosa kata baru kepada siswa). Langkah selanjutnya yaitu aktivitas-aktivitas ketika menggunakan storytelling (bercerita), dan langkah yang terakhir adalah aktivitas-aktivitas yang dilakukan setelah storytelling (proses evaluasi) (Wright, 2008). Hasil selanjutnya menyatakan bahwa penggunaan storytelling dapat membantu siswa untuk mempertahankan fokus perhatiannya lebih lama ketika belajar karena anak-anak pada umumnya menyukai cerita.
Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, penggunaan storytelling dalam pengajaran kosa kata bahasa Inggris pada anak-anak disarankan untuk membuat sebuah pembelajaran yang menyenangkan dan kontekstual dan meningkatkan kemampuan kosa kata pada anak-anak
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

It is descriptive research, where the data of the research was from Agoda’s official Instagram account. The result of the research found that the types of processes that appeared in the data were material, mental, behavioral, relational, and verbal processes. The material process is the one mostly found in the data
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
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
