Ionizing radiation impact on the mechanical properties of a wood-plastic composite: a review

This paper reviews the effect of radiation on the mechanical properties of WPC. WPC can be defined as mixture of wood in a polymer matrix. Composite that used in this research mainly consists of 40% polyethylene (PE), 50 % wood fiber and the rest is carbon black. The WPC were then irradiated and go through post extrusion process under required dose levels of 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 kGy with the aid of the electron beam treatment (EB). Soon after, the irradiated WPC then classified using a test called bending test which specify in third point bending test (ASTM D4761) along with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was checked that two factors are affected with the increasing dose level and they were ultimate strength and modulus of elasticity (MOE). Diagnosis on the morphology of polyethylene by the research found that there was significant difference between the radiated and irradiated surfaces

EMPOWERING THE STUDENTS THROUGH LISTENING DIARIES TO MOTIVATE THEM TO IMPROVE THEIR LISTENING ABILITY

Menyimak (listening) dalam bahasa asing tidak sesederhana menyimak dalam bahasa ibu. Ketidakberhasilan siswa menemukan cara yang tepat dalam menyimak membuat nilai untuk mata kuliah ini sering tidak maksimal akibatnya semangat untuk belajar listening menurun. Proses belajar mengajar yang hanya mengandalkan pada pertemuan di kelas dirasa kurang memberikan hasil yang maksimal. Kendala tidak hanya secara teknis namun juga terletak pada materi yang diberikan. Input yang diterima siswa terbatas pada materi yang diberikan oleh pengajar yang tidak selalu sesuai dengan tingkat penguasaan, kebutuhan, dan keinginan masing-masing pembelajar. Mereka cenderung bertindak sebagai penerima yang pasif dan kendali sepenuhnya ada pada pengajar. Situasi formal di kelas sering membuat siswa tertekan dan kurang dapat berkonsentrasi. Pemberian tugas yang berupa catatan harian menyimak (listening diaries) diharapkan mampu mendorong mereka untuk meningkatkan kemampuan menyimak mereka. Mereka akan berpengalaman mencari dan memilih materi yang sesuai dengan keinginan dan kebutuhan. Mereka juga mendapat kesempatan mendengarkan dan melihat pemakaian Bahasa Inggris di dalam kehidupan sehari-hari melalui berbagai teks yang autentik maupun non-autentik dengan situasi yang lebih santai. Selain itu listening diaries memungkinkan siswa memantau perkembangan kemampuan listening mereka sendiri

Developing Cross-cultural Understanding through Sociolinguistic Dissemination: A Practice in Multicultural Education

The use of language cannot be separated from the culture of its speakers. Most experts agree that language is the cultural reflection of social community. Therefore, the language learning must involve the learning of related culture with the language being learnt. This paper describes my personal experience in teaching Sociolinguistics II for the students of the English Language and Literature Study Program, Yogyakarta State University through sociolinguistic dissemination to develop their cross-cultural understanding. One of the main issues in the teaching of sociolinguistics is to see how cultural aspects are reflected in the use of language. Realizing the importance of this course toward the understanding of the relationship between language and culture, English Language and Literature Study Program, Yogyakarta State University provides its students with this course in two semesters, sociolinguistics I and II. Unlike the teaching of sociolinguistics I which is more theoretical, sociolinguistics II is more practical. The students are expected to have an overview and experience in conducting a mini research that will be beneficial for them in writing thesis. In my experiences in teaching this subject, the students were assigned to conduct mini research on the issue of cross-cultural understanding. In this case, they were proposed to observe multicultural films from different points of view; namely language and society, bilingualism, language variation, choosing code, language and sex, and politeness and solidarity. In the end, they had to disseminate their observation result. The teaching of this course prioritized the process approach. The students were given a chance to consult their observation, present the research report, and revise it. In fact, the implementation of sociolinguistic dissemination not only shows the students on the significance of cross-cultural understanding in the process of communication but also gives them the experience of doing mini research, group work, writing a paper, consultation, and reporting the result.. Key words: developing, cross cultural understanding, sociolinguistic disseminatio
