Discourse Analysis

Assalamualaikum wr, wb!

Discourse analysis (DA), or discourse studies, is a general term for a number of approaches to analyzing written, spoken, signed language use or any significant semiotic event.
The objects of discourse analysis; discourse, writing, conversation, communicative event, etc. are variously defined in terms of coherent sequences of sentences, propositions, speech acts or turns-at-talk. Contrary to much of traditional linguistics, discourse analysts not only study language use 'beyond the sentence boundary', but also prefer to analyze 'naturally occurring' language use, and not invented examples. This is known as corpus linguistics; text linguistics is related. The essential difference between discourse analysis and text linguistics is that it aims at revealing socio-psychological characteristics of a person/persons rather than text structure.

Silabus (Syllabus)

Assalamualaikum wr, wb!

 

Hey sobat, minggu ini saya mau berbagi cerita dan tentunya juga berbagi sesuatu yang menarik buat pengikut blog dan pengunjung setia.

Mulanya saya sebagai seorang mahasiswa pendidikan bahasa Inggris diwajibkan ikut suatu acara. Ya sebagai mahasiswa yang baik maka wajib hukumnya patuh pada perintah (selama perintahnya baik dan sesuai ajaran agama tentunya, hehehe...). Nama acaranya yaitu "Workshop ..." (maaf lupa soalnya ada kalau acara ini sudah sebulanan yang lalu, :)). Seperti workshop-workshop pada umumnya, workshop ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan siswa, lebih spesifik dalam membuat RPP dan Syllabus.

Acara workshop itu seingat saya diadakan jam 8 pagi tapi dengan sangat terpaksa saya datang telat (gara-gara apa hayo???). Saya kemudian sms salah satu panitia workshop kalau saya datang jam 9 pagi. Akhirnya dengan sangat tergesa-gesa hampir jam sepuluh saya datang (tepatnya jam berapa lupa deh...). Wow luar biasa, ternyata saya hanya telat sedikit, karena acara baru saja dimulai (temen-temen yang lain udah pada buka laptop sebelumnya sambil internetan buat nunggu acaranya dimulai, tau kan indikasinya apa!? hihihi). "Lega" itulah perasaan saat itu.

Pada awal-awal kita (saya dan temen-temen) terlihat cukup antusias dengan acara ini, ya karena ada rumor bahwasannya ini adalah sebagai bekal sebelum menjalani mata kuliah PPL 1. (Cukup logis, karena awal-awal masuk kuliah sempat bolong alias kosong ga ada pelajaran). Dari pembicara yang satu ganti yang seterusnya dan seterusnya lagi. Sampailah pada akhir acara (maaf nih saya sensor langsung bagian akhir soalnya kalau didetail malas ngetik, lagian pembaca juga Boring juga liat detailnya kan?!).

Diakhir acaranya ini saya sempat tertinggal beberapa instruksi dari bapak/ibu Dosen, karena pada saat itu harus melakukan sesuatu yang lain (ada hubungannya sama kebanyakan minum pokoknya...). Pada saat saya kembali ke kelompok saya sedikit kebingungan dengan duduk lesehan dan dikelompokkan lebih tertib setiap kelas mata kuliah PPL 1. Disini sudah mulai terasa, dalam hati saya berkata, "ini pasti bagi-bagi tugas ini". Seratus persen dugaan saya benar (kayak peramal aja kang harry ini, bukannya peramal para pengunjung yang budiman tapi kebanyakan polanya seperti itu disetiap acara yang diselenggarakan Jurusan diluar mata kuliah, ada acara, anda wajib datang dan anda dapat tugas, dikasih dead line, anda pulang. Gimana polanya Simple kan? hehehe).

Diakhir acara, perkelas PPL 1 mendapatkan bagian untuk merampungkan Silabus yang Deadline-nya hari ini tadi tanggal 16 April 2012. Setelah itu kami pulang. Beberapa minggu berlalu dengan perjuangan yang cukup keras karena harus diiringi dengan membuat tugas-tugas yang lain, kami berhasil merampungkan silabus tersebut. Itulah akhir cerita saya minggu ini (Garing banget mas harry endingnya, ya ga apa-apa yang penting Happy Ending. :D).

Inilah yang ditunggu para pembaca, ini saya share ya hasil dari pembuatan saya, silabus bahasa Inggris SMP kelas VIII yang berkarakter. Terima kasih!

Example of My Reflective Writing

Improving Cultural Knowledge and Understanding through Study Excursion

At glance, study excursion is just like ordinary travelling. We go to the famous place and enjoy it. But, the fact is different. While travelling emphasize on fun elements, study excursion emphasize on the study of cultural elements by coming into tourism places and getting information from the foreigners. I will explain some events and advantages which I got in study excursion on 9^th of December 2011.

The first interesting event is the presentations of international students held on the hall of the hotel start from 08.00 PM – 10.00 PM on Friday 9^th of December 2011. They are from Cambodia, Gambia and Timur Leste. The first presentation was delivered by the international student from Cambodia, Dourng Ratha Augustine (Ratha), the second presentation was explained by the international student from Gambia, Embrima Sarr (Ibrahim), the last presentation was told by Hercio Camilho Fernandes Xavier (Hercio or Xavier) from Timur Leste.

Ratha’s presentation title was Study Excursion; Tradition and Culture of Cambodia. The explanation was about general information about Cambodia, Culture and Tradition, and Symbolization of Cambodia. He explained almost everything about Cambodia. The Geography of Cambodia, the neighbor countries (borders), some ceremonies/ceremonial events, some symbolization of Cambodia, etc. The special thing is I and some of my bedmate friends had special time to have conversation with Ratha for couple minutes. The thing that I got after spending some time with Ratha that He is very aware with cultural product on his country such as; temples, traditional jar, etc. However, this eventually increases my cultural appreciation on cultural products in my country.

The second presentation was delivered by Ibrahim from Gambia. Among the three presentations, Ibrahim spoke English better. He used to speak English since the official language of Gambia is English. His presentation was about general information of Gambia and his cultural shocks when he was in Indonesia for the first time. He explained the territory of Gambia, the borders, the traditional clothes of Gambia, etc. In my surprise, Ibrahim has some good knowledge of Islam. He and I discussed about religious and cultural issues in Indonesia. He was very aware that the culture of Indonesia was influenced by some religions and the history of the regions. One point that I underline after discussion with him intensively for a couple of minutes, improvement on cultural awareness must be balanced with the improvement on religious awareness, so that, we can avoid misunderstanding with the people who have different culture and the people who have different religion. Because being ignorant might cause great misunderstanding which potentially causes problems not only for people around us but also for ourselves as well.

The final presentation was delivered by Hercio from Timur Leste. He was fifth semester student of Geology department at Universitas Gajah Mada. He was considered the most handsome presentator by my girlfriends at that time. The title of his presentation was “Timur Leste”. He shared his knowledge related to his country such as the general knowledge of Timur Leste (the location of Timur Leste, borders, the president, the export commodity etc), the official language used, traditional clothes of Timur Leste, and so on. It was interesting presentation although his English was not good as the other presenters. I could find some similarity in their cultures with the Indonesian cultures and sometime compared it. In the question and answer section, I asked him several questions related to the cultural and political issues in Timur Leste. My first question was about the languages in Timur Leste. Actually, some of the people of Timur Leste were still using Bahasa Indonesia as their daily language. However, it is just a few of them while the others use Timur Leste’s languages (tetum, fataluko, makasae, etc). My next question was about the political issue. I ask his personal opinion about the chance of Timur Leste in joining back with Indonesia. He personally does not want to join back to Indonesia. The essential thing which I get is knowing the similarity and the differences of the cultures will make us know the weakness and the strength of ourselves so it can avoid being selfish and underestimate the others.

After the presentations and question-answer sections finished, we toke photograph together. It was quite interesting experience, while getting fun, we could also learn something and improve ourselves in some aspects especially the improvement of cultural knowledge, awareness and attitude. Hopefully, the next study excursion can be better. Open the mind then we will see the greatness of the world.
