PRESERVING AND PROTECTING JAVANESE LANGUAGES BY APPLYING CODE SWITCHING AND CODE MIXING IN TEACHING ENGLISH IN CLASSROOM ( SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE ASSIGNMENT OF PRAGMATICS)
Javanese languages are a part of Indigenous languages. They are one of culture’s heritages
which Javanese people should preserve and protect them in this globalization era. Javanese
languages are considered as the cornerstone of culture and the ultimate expression which
Javanese people should know that by using them, culture can be shared and transmitted to
further generations to express their identities. However, in the real fact, many indigenous
languages in this world are almost extinct, and even, Javanese languages almost disappear
at this time in some areas and places. It is crystal clear that there is no special caution from
other Javanese people, especially government, in trying to preserve them. Not only
government, but also the parents and the elders should take part in this case. Javanese
languages should be passed on from generation to the other. Even, it is not strange when the
parental generation speaks the Javanese language, they do not often pass it on to their
children. Therefore, in an increasing number of cases, Javanese languages are used only by
elders.
Actually, the loss of some Javanese languages can be caused by some factors, such as
irresistible social, political, and economic pressures. In this matter, the relationship and the
cooperation between a language planning, language policy, language rights and language
education are needed to prevent this phenomena. They are used as vehicles for promoting
and perpetuating the vitality, versatility, and stability of Javanese languages.
Creating and arranging a better language planning and a better language policy are
important to do in Indonesia right now to protect Indonesian language and Indigenous
languages, especially Javanese languages. It is, of course, also supported by developing and
paying attention to the language rights. Moreover, focusing on language in education for
children and young people is a best way to start preserving Javanese languages. Including
Javanese children and youth in this discussion on language and education is befitting and
appropriate. It needs to know that education in classroom and school areas have also the
potential of saving and reviving Javanese languages which are at the brink of extinction.
The non-recognition and the prohibition of the use of Javanese languages in the education
and work place has impacted the lives of many Javanese people, it has affected them from
childhood to adulthood, in the creation of their identity and development of their
communities. Education world, in classroom and school areas, which was used as an
instrument of assimilation of some languages in Indonesia, especially in Central Java, has
impacted in the Javanese languages. Therefore, applying code switching and code mixing in
teaching English in classroom should be offered to Javanese people, but also to all students
who stay in Java island, as a means of combating prejudices and discrimination and
promoting inclusive and respectful societies, is better step to do.
However, in order to make it real, the cooperation and the seriousness of government,
Javanese people, parents, elders, teachers, and even lecturers must be created in Indonesia,
especially in Central Java. It is better for government to make a decision explicitly in
keeping and preserving Javanese languages from the extinction through teaching activities
in classroom and school areas as the basic formal activity.

NATURALNESS IN TRANSLATION OF ENGLISH NOVEL INTO INDONESIAN
Naturalness in translation is a very important point in relation to translation product quality. This paper is
a research-based article on the translation of English-novel into Indonesian. This research investigated the
naturalness of the Indonesian language used by the translator in the translation of Anna Frank’s The Diary
of a Young Girl into Indonesian. The theories employed to help the analysis of data in this research meaningbased
and componential analysis and of those by other scholars that are related to factors that can help
identifying the naturalness of translation. Grammar of both languages involved can also be employed to
help the sharp analysis of the data. Translation then should make sense; convey the spirit of manner of the
original; have a natural and easy to comprehend form of expression; and produce a similar respond to that
of the original. Beyond that, it is expected that some other factors triggering the less natural translation in
target language be partially if not fully identified. The contrast between two languages involved in the
translation, the cultural discrepancies, and the nature of meaning of each word make the translation process
difficult. The use of different register, style, and targeted reader seem also to have role in influencing the
naturalness of translation
Solar energy collection system
A fixed, linear, ground-based primary reflector having an extended curved sawtooth-contoured surface covered with a metalized polymeric reflecting material, reflects solar energy to a movably supported collector that is kept at the concentrated line focus reflector primary. The primary reflector may be constructed by a process utilizing well known freeway paving machinery. The solar energy absorber is preferably a fluid transporting pipe. Efficient utilization leading to high temperatures from the reflected solar energy is obtained by cylindrical shaped secondary reflectors that direct off-angle energy to the absorber pipe. A seriatim arrangement of cylindrical secondary reflector stages and spot-forming reflector stages produces a high temperature solar energy collection system of greater efficiency
INDONESIAN NOUN PHRASE=NOUN+NOUN:A SEMANTIC PERSPECTIVE
This paper analyzes the nature of the Indonesian noun + noun constructed noun
phrase. Basically, there are two thoughts responding to the nature of Indonesia noun phrase,
and compound words. First, there is no concept of compound words; it is only noun phrase
that exist in Indonesian. Second, there is the concept of compound words in Indonesian.
Believing that different words have different referents, accordingly noun phrase are also
different from compound words. The empirical data employed in this paper proves it. It
falsifies an assumption arguing that it does not exist compound words in Indonesian. The
results of it demonstrate that the nature of the relationship of the interconstituent of noun +
noun constructed Indonesian noun phrase can be classified into four characteristics. Those
four are (1)ownership;(2)intendedness;(3)origin; and (4)ownership, about, and by
METAPHORICAL SWITCHING: A LINGUISTIC REPERTOIRE OF MUSLIM JAVANESE PRIESTS
Metaphorical switching is one of study in sociolinguistic. This term refers to a speaker
that has no obvious explanatory factors for using more than one languages in his utterance. It is
mostly done by skilled bilingual. Linguistic repertoire refers to the use of language by a speaker
from one variety of languages to other varieties during the utterance events. This term is commonly
found where the speaker considers the appropriate setting, topic, addressee and other social factors.
The metaphorical switching in linguistic repertoire can be identified by using code switching and
code mixing analysis. These kind of analysis used in a sermon is interesting to explore since there is
only sole speaker that fully dominates the whole speaking. A sermon is a monologue, where the
audience
REALIZING THE GREAT NATION THROUGH CULTURAL LITERACY
Mastery of literacy in all aspects of life become the backbone of the progress of civilization of a nation. It
is impossible to become a great nation, if only relying on oral culture in the institutions of learning coloring
school. We know that the level of literacy among school less attractive to students. Literacy-based language
learning in Indonesia still looks very low compared to developed countries, so that the need for concrete
steps to be able to align your learning-based literacy. Initial steps for the beginner students is through
learning by writing down what's being heard, either in the form of words, sentences, or paragraphs in
accordance with rule writing. Through these activities, students are expected to write according to the ideas
and his creativity. Teachers understand that writing is often developed simultaneously and can help
cultivate talent and learning interest of students. Needed strategic ways to build the next generation has the
knowledge and ability in literacy. The alternative is to improve the quality of human resources in Indonesia.
It will certainly be a factor supporting the progress of national education to compete internationally. One
of the biggest challenges the nation of Indonesia to realize the nation's mood towards literacy is leaving the
oral tradition (orality) to enter the reading tradition of writing (literacy). It was time of cultural literacy
should be inculcated from an early age so that children can get to know the reading materials and master
the world of writing.There was great a nation if its people cultivate literacy

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF ENGLISH ADVERTISEMENTS CREATED BY STUDENTS OF BUSINESS ENGLISH CLASS AT PGRI UNIVERSITY SEMARANG. LEMBAGA PENELITIAN DAN PENGABDIAN PADA MASYARAKAT, UNIVERSITAS PGRI SEMARANG
This study investigates the characteristics of English advertisements created by the
students of Business English Class at the University of PGRI Semarang. There were 25
students taken as the sample since they had been trained how to analyse and make
English advertisement. At the end of the training session, 60 pictures of educational,
tourism, and health products were distributed and the students were asked to create
their own advertisement under each picture. There were only 30advertisement texts
eligible for further analysis. The analysis was done to its lexical aspects, syntactical
features as well as its rhetorical devices. The results show that most of the students were
able to make their own advertisement texts but most of the words are verb and noun
(90%), simple sentence (93%), and only 2 out of 30 advertisement (6.6%) used
rhetorical devices. They need more time to practice writing informative and attractive
advertisement text. Thus, for the next class session, it is recommended that the lesson
materials in the Business English shouldbe divided into two mainstreams: Business
Writing and Business Advertisement and each mainstream should be taught for 7 class
sessions. By having such division, the students will have an ample time to do some
advertisement-text practices
Human supervision and microprocessor control of an optical tracking system
Gunners using small calibre anti-aircraft systems have not been able to track high-speed air targets effectively. Substantial improvement in the accuracy of surface fire against attacking aircraft has been realized through the design of a director-type weapon control system. This system concept frees the gunner to exercise a supervisory/monitoring role while the computer takes over continuous target tracking. This change capitalizes on a key consideration of human factors engineering while increasing system accuracy. The advanced system design, which uses distributed microprocessor control, is discussed at the block diagram level and is contrasted with the previous implementation
