Kakawin Nitisastra, one of ancient Javanese scriptures, holds a lot of figurative writings in it. Revelation and analysis of those figurative language are important to enrich Indonesian literary culture and introduce it to character education in present days. The aims of this study are (1) to identify types of figure of speech used in Kakawin Nitisastra, (2) to identify functions of those figurative speech, and (3) to reveal the meanings behind them. By applying literature-based qualitative method, the result of this study reveals that Kakawin Nitisastra contains mostly similes, symbolism, allegory, hyperboles, and personifications related to animals, plants and ancient beliefs in the Vedas. The figures of speech have at least four functions namely to give examples, to compare qualities, to criticize, and to remind readers about proper deeds in the society.

Note-taking acts as a tool to provide students for identifying and understanding the most important aspects of what they are learning (Borr et al., 2012). People who take notes typically retain more information which has a positive effect on learning (Titsworth in Borr et al., 2012). This study aims to investigate the preference and strategies used by the students when taking note. The medium they use indicates numbers of words generated in taking the note. There were three medium being utilized; longhand (traditional using pen and paper), laptop and mobile phone note. This study was conducted with 27 hospitality students who were learning Business English for Hotel and Tourism. Pre-test, post-test, interview, and questionnaire as well were couples of instruments used to obtain the data. The media preference they used indicates the numbers of word generated, abbreviations and symbols, looks, accurateness with the lecture time to process the note, format of notetaking, and the result of the test.

The recent study was conducted to improve the competence of the students grade five of SD Negeri 2 Banjar Tegal Singaraja in speaking capability by applying Jazz Chant Technique. The subjects of the study were the second-year students of SD Negeri 2 Banjar Tegal Singaraja, especially those who belong to class V. The total number of the subjects was 17 students, 10 males, and 7 females. This study was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of two sessions. The first sessions were done for the treatment and the last session was for posttest. This study was an action-based classroom research that was conducted in two cycles in which four steps were involved in each cycle, namely; planning, action, observation, and reflection. Besides, the data were obtained through three kinds of an instrument; questionnaire, test, and researcher’s diary. A pre-test was given to the students before conducting the action to obtain the preliminary data of the students’ achievement in speaking capability. Then, the data obtained were descriptively analyzed. The study showed that the students’ competence in speaking capability improved. The continual improvement took place in the students’ achievement. It was shown by the students’ mean score, which increased from cycle to cycle. Students’ mean score was 54 in the pre-test, which was categorized as poor. After the treatment was conducted, it increased to a sufficient level of mastery 65 in post-test I. The second treatment was then conducted to get a satisfactory result since the results of students’ score were not satisfying yet. Finally, the students’ mean score could reach a good criterion, which was 80 in the post-test II. From the observation, it was found that Jazz Chant Technique allowed the students to collect their ideas, practice their pronunciation, intonation and organized their speaking capability through the song of Jazz Chant Technique that guided the students systematically in speaking capability so that they could produce good pronunciation in speaking.

The vast development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) improves the integration of technology for the academic purpose. This phenomenon then raises an issue of technology acceptance, which becomes an interesting field of investigation for many scholars. In this respect, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has proven to be a robust, powerful, and parsimonious framework for predicting user acceptance of technology integration in various fields (Lai, 2017; Rondan-Cataluna et al., 2015). Although there is a lot of research studies reported the use of TAM and its developed versions in investigating the technology acceptance in the educational field, there is no publication that trying to map current studies which focus on educational technology acceptance research especially in ELT. Based on the needs of providing such information, this article would present the state of the art of the current research trends on the application of TAM framework in investigating ICT integration acceptance in ELT. The main part of this article would describe the evolution of TAM framework, followed by the discussion of recent research results concerning the technology acceptance, and the future trends of technology acceptance research in ELT. This state of the art article is expected to inspire other researchers to conduct further studies on technology acceptance in ELT and also suggest the ELT practitioners about the current and future trends in technology integration for academic purpose.
信息和通信技术(ICT)的巨大发展提高了学术目的的技术整合。这种现象引发了技术接受的问题,这成为许多学者研究的一个有趣领域。在这方面,技术接受模型(TAM)已被证明是一个健壮、强大和简洁的框架,用于预测用户对各个领域技术集成的接受程度(Lai, 2017;Rondan-Cataluna et al., 2015)。虽然有很多研究报告使用TAM及其发展版本来调查教育领域的技术接受程度,但没有出版物试图映射当前关注教育技术接受研究的研究,特别是在英语教学中。基于提供这些信息的需要,本文将介绍TAM框架在调查英语教学中ICT集成接受度方面的最新研究趋势。本文的主要部分将描述TAM框架的演变,然后讨论有关技术接受的最新研究成果,以及英语教学中技术接受研究的未来趋势。这篇最新的文章旨在启发其他研究者对英语教学中的技术接受进行进一步的研究,并为英语教学从业者提供关于技术整合当前和未来趋势的学术建议。

The 4 Cs 21 st century skills framework has included collaboration as one of the critical skills for now and future generation living. In EFL context, studies about collaboration are often connected with collaborative writing (CW). This strategy has been more popular especially in higher education as academic writing and collaboration skills development strategy. Numbers of studies reported not only the outcome but also the process of collaborative writing. This paper synthesizes research reports in the last decade collected from online publication including unpublished thesis and dissertation as well as articles in journals related to language education. Inspired by Dillenbourg (1996), this synthesis report is organized into four dimensions; focus on effect, condition, interaction, and technology use. Finally, some possible future research questions are pointed out.

Metacognitive learning strategies (MLS) have been proven to promote problem solving skills and enable students to achieve better in learning (Aurah, 2013; Magogwe, 2013). Researches on MLS have also been done to investigate its effect on students’ performance in various ELT skills, e.g. listening, reading, speaking and writing. Most of the researchers found that MLS plays a significant role in students’ learning those four skills. However, there is still lack of studies done in academic writing especially within the Indonesian EFL setting. Besides, a research which is done by controlling various variables, e.g. English proficiency, students’ self-efficacy (self-regulatory factors), modes of writing (paper-based & internet based), etc. is required to give a clearer picture about the role of MLS in EFL academic writing.
