Linguistics Department, Universitas Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia
Abstract— Critical Discourse Analysis is a study that not only analyzes language usage in linguistic features but also language as a social practice. Each media has the different tendency in conveying information through the language used. Similarly, there are some differences of language in government and non-government media. In this study there are three texts related to same topic (wanncry virus) in the pages of Kemkominfo, Kompas.com and JawaPos.com. The differences of their linguistic features tendency and the ideology are described using critical discourse analysis and fairclough approach through three interrelated analysis processes (the dimension of text description, the dimension of discourse practice by textual interpretation, and the dimension of socio-cultural by text explanation). The results of this analysis show the differences that exist in three media both in terms of linguistic features and their ideology.
Keywords— Critical discourse analysis, government media, nongovernment media

The Role of Medieval Visions in the Teaching of Dante’s Divine Comedy
Matteo Brandi
Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Baiyun Dadao Bei 2, 510420, Guangzhou, PRC
Abstract—In the field of medieval literature, the Divine Comedy occupies a special role. Its reading and analysis is particularly challenging for students, especially international students, who are often completely lacking in the basic cultural reference points needed to understand this medieval poetic text, which represents Dante’s opinion and the general medieval mentality in many ways: religious, political, literary, philosophical, artistic, etc. This article proposes to follow an innovative approach in introducing the work to Asian students by using a genre-based context examining visionary medieval literature, a collection of heterogeneous texts in which the main theme is a journey through the Christian afterworld. The article seeks to emphasize the advantages of this didactic approach by reintroducing Dante’s work into a broader cultural and literary context and providing a series of elements through which students can analyze the text and its overall structure in depth.
Keywords—didactics of literature, Divine Comedy, genrebased approach, visions

Social Skills Competence in ASD Children: A Review of Assessment Instruments
Zuraida Ibrahim & Maizam Alias
Faculty of Technical and Vocational Education, University Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, 86400 Parit Raja, Johor, Malaysia
Abstract—Lack of social competence is the biggest hurdle faced by children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Early intervention to develop social competence is thus essential. However, assessing social competence is a great challenge as social competence is a context-dependent construct and thus, an instrument suited to one context may not be suited to another. The context can be related but not limited to the definition of social skills competence construct, instrument users, children age groups, locations of application (home or school) and severity of the disorder. In this study, five aspects of social competence were of interest namely, cognitive, social interaction, social communication, social emotion and social behavior. These aspects were of interest as they are the focus of a bigger research on ASD children. This paper provides a systematic review of available instruments for assessing social skills competence of ASD children as part of a study to develop a valid instrument to be used in a particular context. Eighty instruments for assessment of ASD children were initially identified but only ten instruments were selected for further review as their focus was found to be related to the identified aspects of social competence. Each construct from selected instruments was analyzed and evaluated in terms of their suitability for adaptation to the current context of the study. Finally, four instruments were identified to be suitable for some aspects and items from them were then selected and refined for inclusion in a new instrument to be used in a future study.

A Discourse Analysis of Social Actor Representation on Mass Media Text: New York Times and MERDEKA on Gay Couples Punished in Aceh
Yuniasri
Linguistics Departments, University of Indonesia
Abstract—This paper shows the contrast depiction in two different media texts reporting about gay couple punished in Aceh, Indonesia. These two media have opposite background for accepting same sex relationship and its community. Thus, it is interesting to figure out the way both media representing gay couples and their punishment in Aceh as social actors in their texts. An allegation emerges for New York Times as media from America in which has legalized LGBT likely represent the punishment as a homophobic act. Meanwhile, MERDEKA from Indonesia is alleged to represent it as an explicit act of Aceh government under Shariah law. Those hypothesis are solved by applying Theo Van Leeweun’s theory of social actor representation in media discourse (2008), exclusion and inclusion strategy to reveal the dominated and marginalised representation, especially the social actor involved. The analysis uses qualitative method as for describing the data and investigation by comparing both media toward each other to detect the difference of the discourse strategy.
Keywords—Analysis, gay, media, text.

Abstract— This study estimated an academic good governance model for Central Philippines State University (CPSU) System. The level of university governance was also assessed and correlation of system components were done in order to come up with a model that will serve as reference for the university to provide quality service. Findings showed that all respondents- students, faculty members, staff and Local Government Units (LGUs) in ten campuses rated the governance of CPSU system as “High”. As to the seven components of psychosocial environment, respondents rated CPSU “High” in Affective Strategy, Cognitive Strategy Macro-Ability, Parental Academic Support and Teaching Effectiveness. There are perfect pairwise highly significant relationships from positive moderately high strengths coefficient correlations from .52 in Accountability and Transparency with Institutional Effectiveness (.52) to High strength of .852 in Cognitive Strategies Micro Abilities. The established model is in functional form of Y = β0 + β1(X1) + β2(X2) + β3(X3) or Y = .416 + .232(X1) + .175(X2) + .453(X3). The formulated model is a strong model with its adjusted R2 of 85%. This is a better model to predict the the academic governance of the CPSU System in the following school years.

Nurul Zawiyah Mohamad, Dayang Hanani Abang Ibrahim & Jennifer Fiona Wilfred Busu
Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, 94300 Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia
Abstract— Data modeling and process modeling courses are compulsory in any computer science programmes. It is important for students to understand the underlying concepts of these courses and to translate the knowledge into a diagram or a model. However, there are so many cases whereby students’ understanding were not up to par, they know the concepts, but somehow unable to translate their knowledge into technical designs. The lack of understanding in these courses will affect the more advanced courses with advanced data and process modeling. In this paper, we explain the technique on activating students’ prior knowledge before diving into domain knowledge concepts to ensure better understanding without slowing the learning curve. We are using the data collected to propose a design for a scaffolding tool for data and process modeling courses in computer science programmes.

SUNADA Midori & ENDO Toshikazu
Nihon University, 7-24-1 Narashinodai, Finabashi, Chiba, Japan
Abstract—One of the hot topics of English language teaching in Japan is how teachers can help students acquire basic grammar items introduced at the junior high school stage. Many high school and college teachers have tried to believe that their students have already acquired basic grammar items in the junior high school textbooks. However, it is obvious from some studies that more than half the learners do not have an appropriate command of basic English grammar when they graduate from junior high school and that hinders them from making further progress. This study aims to examine what the Japanese college students’ command of basic English grammar is like and what can be done to improve the situation.

Abstract — This study x-rays the impact of research method on knowledge construction of Final Year Project (FYP) students. The study is aligned with the Malaysian Qualifications Framework (MQF) level 6 for bachelor’s degree. The procedure involved a reassessment of FYP thesis submitted by 18 graduating students in engineering. The assessment reconfigured the FYP rubrics focusing on knowledge construction. A comparison of the level of knowledge construction between the 10 students that used simulation software for their research investigations and the 8 students that conducted experiments in their finial year projects was conducted. The reassessment of the reports focused on the methodology and results presentation with consideration on the following criteria, understanding of the physics of the project area, presentation of procedure of operation, creation of new knowledge from project investigation, and justification of claim in line with underlying physics. The results showed that students that used software did more reflection on the underlying physics in the project areas than those that conducted experiments. It was also observed that the students that conducted simulations could investigate many parameters thereby creating new hypothesis to be proved through experiments. It was observed that students who used software exhibited high level of knowledge construction in developing research methods more than students that conducted experiments.

Abstract— This paper presents the finding on students’performance in an engineering design unit. The unit is project based unit where the students form teams of five to six students to work on different tasks as assignments. Two team formation procedures are discussed in this work and their effects on students’ performance. In an engineering design unit, the team assignments weigh 35% while individual assessments weigh 65%. The team selection was conducted in two different manners. In the first semesters 2016, about 90% of the teams were formed using Belbin personality test while about 10% were formed by just bringing a set of students that joined the class at same time together to form a team. In the second semester of 2016, the personality test was employed for the formation of the whole teams for the unit. In the third semester, first semester 2017, the students were given the opportunity to select their own teams. A comparison of the performance of the students from the different teams was made considering the performances of the teams formed using personality test and the teams formed without personality tests. The work presented here are the findings of three semesters investigation where in two semesters, Belbin personality test was used to form over 95% of the teams while in the third semester, the students were allowed to select their team members. It was observed that the results varied in two different team selection processes. The use of personality test in the team selection was observed to give students better opportunity to tap into the strengths of their peers, learn from each other and more importantly develop team-working experience. It was observed that the teams formed using Belbin test closes up the gap in their marks as assignment progresses while teams where students selected their team mates where characterized of truancy, late submission of assignments and in some cases traces of plagiarism. Grade improvement was consistent among the students who were in Semester 1 and Semester 2, 2016 considering the Individual Assignment, Team Assignments and the Design Evaluation Report.

Rangsit University, Phathumthani 12000, Thailand
Abstract—This paper explored the effectiveness of growth mindset training on first-year Thai undergraduates majoring in engineering in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, and their perspectives on the activities or teaching approaches that help cultivate a growth mindset. Forty-one engineering freshman students at a private university in Thailand participated voluntarily and completed the growth mindset training. A mixed methodology was used in this study. Quantitative data were analyzed using a paired-samples t-test to compare the mindset scores for the pre- and post-training. The results showed a significant difference between the mindset scores in pre-training (M=62.66, SD=4.67) and those in post-training (M=65.29, SD=6.15, t40=-3.37, p=0.002). The findings suggested that the mindset activities or teaching approaches in the training could be used in teaching English to help students enhance their growth mindset.

Voranij Vasuratna
Rangsit University, Phathumthani 12000, Thailand
Abstract—This paper explored the effects of mindful breathing training on Thai undergraduate students in EFL classrooms and the potential future use of mindfulness practice. Fifty-eight students at a private university in Thailand participated voluntarily and completed the 5-week mindful breathing training. This research project used a triangulation methodology. Quantitative data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire, and qualitative data were gathered with an open-ended questionnaire, as well as data from a semi-structured interview. The results revealed that the mindful breathing training had positive effects on all students. Those effects included “having concentration” (43.10%), “reducing nervousness” (32.76%), “being mindful” (29.31%), “having positive feelings” (22.41%), “reducing anxiety” (12.07%), and “helping memorize things” (5.17%). 48 students (82.8%) planned to use the practice in the future. The positive effects suggested that this practice could offer an alternative approach to teaching English.

Rafidah Kamarudina & Ainul Azmin Md Zaminb
aAcademy of Language Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia
bDepartment of English Language and Literature, International Islamic University Malaysia
Abstract—Multi-word units like phrasal verbs (PVs) are very common in English, indicating their usefulness in everyday settings. Despite the importance of PVs in both written and spoken discourse, it was reported that language learners generally have great difficulties in understanding and using this linguistic form due to various factors. The present study investigates how language reference materials (i.e. textbooks and dictionaries) commonly prescribed to Malaysian school learners address and describe this very common and important linguistic feature. Secondary school prescribed textbooks and two learner dictionaries were examined. All sections in the textbooks and dictionaries entries that discuss the selected common PVs were analyzed. Descriptive analysis was conducted to examine how this particular language form is described by looking at the selection of PVs, as well as information provided with respect to PVs. Results of the analysis have revealed some interesting findings with regard to the selection and description of PVs in both reference materials. This may have also contributed to learners' difficulties in understanding and learning the language form. Recommendations for inclusion and selections of PVs in language reference materials in Malaysian schools are discussed.
