Me-Liyan-kan Perempuan dalam Filsafat Relasionalitas Armada Riyanto dan Ata Pe’ang dalam Budaya Manggarai
No full textFocus this paper is comparing the concept of othering women in Armada's Relational Philosophy and the concept of ata pe'ang (outsider) in Manggarai culture. The method used is a critical analysis with a comparative approach between the concept of othering women in Armada's Relational Philosophy and the concept of ata pe'ang in Manggarai culture. The author finds that the label of ata pe'ang has shackled women, thus viewing them as the other. This shackling is rooted in a misunderstanding of the concept of ata pe'ang as intended by the Manggarai ancestors. Relational Philosophy can serve as a critical lens for this reality. Relational philosophy provides a new contribution, namely that ata pe'ang must be viewed as relational subjects, and it critiques the marginalization of women in Manggarai culture. Furthermore, Armada's philosophical concept helps reconstruct unequal cultural practices and affirms that women, as ata pe'ang, can be agents of change in communal life.AbstrakFokus tulisan ini adalah membuat komparasi konsep me-liyan-kan perempuan dalam filsafat Relasionalitas Armada dan konsep ata pe’ang (orang luar) dalam budaya Manggarai. Metode yang digunakan ialah analisis kritis dengan pendekatan komparatif antara konsep me-liyan-kan perempuan filsafat Relasionlitas Armada dan konsep ata pe’ang dalam budaya Manggarai. Penulis menemukan bahwa pelabelan ata pe’ang telah membelenggu kaum perempuan sehingga perempuan dipandang sebagai liyan. Keterbelengguan tersebut berakar pada kesalahpahaman terhadap konsep ata pe’ang sebagaimana dimaksudkan oleh para leluhur orang Manggarai. Filsafat Relasionalitas dapat menjadi lensa kritik terhadap realitas tersebut. Filsafat relasionlitas memberikan sumbangan baru bahwa Ata pe’ang harus dipandang sebagai subjek relasional, filsafat relasionlitas memberikan kritik marginalisasi perempuan dalam budaya Manggarai. Selain itu, konsep filosofis Armada membantu untuk merekonstruksikan kembali praktik budaya yang timpang serta memberikan penegasan bahwa perempuan sebagai ata pe’ang dapat menjadi agen perubahan dalam kehidupan bersama.
Individual Preferences: a Reason to Use Code Switching to Teach English
No full textIt is usual for non-native EFL teachers to use code switching and or code mixing as a medium of instruction due to a number of factors such as inadequate oral ability of the teachers, complexity level of teaching topics, curriculum and poor basic English of the students.

The present article tries to explain the code switching and or code mixing performed by the EFL teachers in senior high schools spreading over the West Timor land, the province of Nusa Tenggara Timur and the factor of “individual preferences” as their reason why teachers of great oral ability favor to use code switching and or code mixing during classroom instruction like those of lower or inadequate oral ability of English. The data recorded and presented in this article prove that the teachers use code switching in four types that might be similar or different from those in other places in Indonesia
