DESCRIPTION OF COURSES FOR GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ELT

 

MKPPS801 Foundations of English Education and Instruction (2/2)

This course provides the students with some understanding that education is a complex system which connects to other systems: social, political, and cultural. To that end, educational issues are approached from various perspectives: philosophy, history, sociology, and psychology. The course also provides discussion of views, approaches, planning, development, and teaching-learning activities against the backdrop of formal, non-formal, and informal education. The discussion touches upon and into, among others, views on learning, theories of learning, taxonomies of learning objectives, characteristics of learners, methods and strategies for teaching and learning, organization of teaching and learning materials, and evaluation of teaching and learning.

 

MKPPS802 Quantitative Research Methodology (2/2)

This course is designed to help students develop the knowledge of quantitative research methods on language learning, identify the quality of a research report, learn how to plan a research project proposal and more specifically to learn how to conduct a research project for their thesis, and have a positive attitude towards scientific activities. The assignments for students are to read as many references on the assigned topics, to learn more from reading references rather than just from listening to lectures in class, to come to the class prepared with enough knowledge on the topics to be discussed. The contents cover research problems, assumptions and hypotheses, experimental designs, descriptive designs, instrument development, sampling, data collection, validity and reliability, data analysis.

 

MKPPS803 Qualitative Research Methodology (2/2)

This course is designed to help the students develop the knowledge of Qualitative Research Methodology, learn how to plan a research proposal using Qualitative method, identify the quality of (reviewing) a qualitative research project/report. More specifically, the students are expected to learn how to conduct a qualitative research project for their thesis. The topics to be covered include: (1) Characteristics of Qualitative Research Methodology, (2) Reviewing theses, (3) Proposing a research project Proposal.

 

MING811 Linguistics in English Language Teaching (2/2)

This course is designed to provide students with advanced linguistic knowledge, covering a brief overview of current linguistic theory as well as practical knowledge of solving language problems in the well-known subfields of linguistics. The subfields of linguistics include micro-linguistics (i.e., phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics) and macro-linguistics (particularly pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and psycholinguistics). This course also provides students with practices in applying their knowledge in linguistics through a final project in a specialized theme related to linguistics.

 

MING812 Critical Review on Second Language Acquisition Research (2/2)

This course helps the students understand the implication of human biology and psychology to language acquisition; the methods, goals, and approaches for investigating SLA as well as the theories and assumptions; learners’ learning and metacognitive strategies; the differences between natural second language acquisition and classroom second language development; the model of classroom language development; and the metalinguistic awareness in second language acquisition. Additionally, the course facilitates the students to be aware of the trends of recent SLA research and their implications on language teaching.

 

IGK513 Critical Review on Applied Linguistics (2/2)

This course is designed as a critical overview of basic principles in both micro- and macro- linguistics and their application in the field of second/foreign language teaching and learning. The contents of the course include reorientation and redefinition of applied linguistics, the relationship between linguistics and current issues in L2/FL teaching and learning, language and usage, linguistic problem in translation, and attempts to bridge the gap between linguistics and literature.

MING817 Advanced Assessment in English Language Teaching (2/2)

The course is designed to enable students to have a more thorough and comprehensive knowledge about the field of educational assessment in general with a special emphasis on language testing, and its recent and advanced developments so that they can make better, more responsible tests and professionally develop language tests, including non test tools, of their own, administer, analyze and use their results competently.

 

MING818 Thesis Proposal Development (2/2)

This course helps students develop, critically analyze, and evaluate thesis proposals. The course discusses common problems in developing a proposal into a completed thesis and requires students to present at least one (classroom-level) presentation of thesis proposal. By the end of this course, students should be able to: demonstrate familiarity with theoretical issues and practical problems in writing a research proposal for their thesis; produce an overall plan of research in the form of a research proposal, and present the overall research plan in the class presentation forum.

 

MING821 Sociolinguistics and Language Teaching (2/2)

The course is designed to make students familiar with the relationship between language and native speakers’ culture in general, including their habits and paralinguistics that accompany the language and its application in ELT. The discussion includes speech styles, language varieties, registers, dialects, speech acts, discourse routines, verbal skills, men’s and women’s talk, politeness, etc. . In addition, students should also be familiar with the seminal works on Socio­linguistics and its relationship with language teaching.

 

MING822 Discourse Analysis and Language Teaching (2/2)

This course provides the students with the knowledge of analysing language beyond sentence level to make them aware of the complexity and function of language as a means of communication both written and spoken. It also requires them to find relevant pedagogical implications of the discourse theories for language teaching. The discussion includes the role of context, information structure, cohesion and coherence and how those theories can be useful in developing students’ communicative competence.

 

MING823 Semantics and Language Teaching (2/2)

This course introduces and examines a variety of approaches to the issue of representing word meanings: lexical semantics, which include reference theory, image theory, and componential analysis; sentential semantics, which covers the truth condition theory, deep structure of generative transformational approach, and predicate calculus; and communicative semantics, which touch upon speech acts theory and Grice’s approach to logic of communication. All these issues are linked to language teaching.

 

MING824 Pragmatics and Language Teaching (2/2)

The course familiarizes the students with the four areas that pragmatics is concerned with: 1) the study of speaker meaning; 2) the study of contextual meaning; 3) the study of how more gets communicated than is said; and, 4) the study of expression of relative distance. For this purpose the most pertinent concepts of these areas are introduced and discussed: deixis, reference and inference, presupposition, cooperation and implicature, speech acts and events, politenenss, conversation, and discourse. All these issues are linked to language teaching.

 

MING825 Psycholinguistics and Language Teaching (2/2)

The contents may be extended to the teaching of English language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

 

MING828 Advanced Translation (2/2)

The course provides students with theoretical knowledge and practical skill of translation. The theory compares between the old and new paradigms of translation, explains methods of translation, describes linguistic aspects of translation, and points out linguistic and cultural adjustments required for good translation. To acquire practical skill in translating, students are given practice exercises in translating, mostly from English into Indonesian and partly from Indonesian into English. The exercises comprise texts of different linguistic levels (phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and short essays) as well as texts of different genres (academic essay, colloquial dialogue, legal language, religious text, literary prose, and poetry).
