Designing Listening Materials Based On Contextual Teaching And Learning Approach

Instructional teaching materials play an important role in English Language Teaching. To make sure that the learning objectives are fulfilled, teaching materials should be in line with the curriculum and learners' needs. This study is an attempt to produce listening materials based on Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach. Local-content materials are used because using topics which stimulate students' prior knowledge can help them comprehend the materials better. The samples are intended to be supplementary in teaching listening. In conducting this research, the researcher uses ADDIE procedure where the participants are the teacher and the tenth grade students of a high school in Pontianak. The result shows that local-content materials can be used for teaching listening. The researcher suggests that the teachers use contextual materials to activate students' prior knowledge in listening

Improving Students' Speaking Ability to the Tenth Grade Through English Video Conversation

The purpose of conducting this research is to improve students' speaking ability through English video conversation to the tenth grade of class F students in SMAN 9 Pontianak. The design of this research is a classroom action research to solve the problems that happened in the classroom where the students difficult to express ideas and lack of vocabularies which make them difficult to speak English. The number of participants in this research was 32 students. This research was done in three cycles. The result of this research has shown that the students' progress in improving speaking ability in each cycle. First cycle was 56.64 (less than 70, not achieved) which was categorized into poor to average. Second cycle was 67.38 (not achieved) which was categorized into average to good. Third cycle was 75.39 (achieved) which was categorized into good which was higher than the KKM score. It means that using English video conversation improves speaking ability of the tenth grade students of class F is successful

Analisis Pelaksanaan Pencatatan Petty Cash (Kas Kecil) pada PT. Energy Sakti Sentosa, Pakkat

Every company will definitely experience expenses and income (income) that are identical to cash. Therefore, it is necessary to have financial records with the aim of accurately knowing how much income and expenses the company experiences. In addition, by recording the cash, we will find out whether the company is experiencing a profit or a possible loss each period. Therefore, a cash section was formed, which was called petty cash which was signed by the petty cash officer as the person in charge and the functions concerned to directly improve operational efficiency. The company's established operational operating procedures must be followed when managing the relatively simple transactions that need to be recorded. As a result, the author attempts to conduct scientific research on the PT implementation of petty cash records. Energy Sakti Sentosa, Pakkat. This study employs qualitative descriptive methods for data collection, including interviews, observation, and documentation. The study's findings demonstrate that PT has implemented petty cash. Energy Sakti Sentosa, Pakkat is carried out using the imperst method, or fixed fund method. In this method, the amount of the petty cash fund remains constant throughout the duration of the transaction. However, instead of waiting until the end of the period to replenish the petty cash fund, the method used instead replenishes it when the petty cash balance is low. A petty cash fund is also held by the company treasurer when petty cash is used, which can make the treasurer work harder. Implementation procedures and a number of records are used to carry out operational tasks like setting up a petty cash fund in petty cash implementation, and replenishing the petty cash fund

Pengaruh Bauran Promosi Terhadap Keputusan Berkunjung (Survei Pada Pengunjung Taman Safari II Prigen Pasuruan)

This research entitled “The Influence of the Promotional mix to the decision to visit” performed at a Visitors Safari Park II aims to explain the variable effect of advertising, personal selling, sales promotion, and publicity to the decision to visit. The method used isthe explanatory research method, data collection tool uses questionnaire distributed to the Visitors Safari Park II amounts 100 respondents. The data analysis uses the descriptive analysis and the multiple linear regression analysis, to process the data uses SPSS 22 software for Windows. Based on the result of multiple linear regression analysis shows that the Advertising, Personal Selling, Sales Promotion, and Publicity variable have a significant effect simultaneously on the Decision Visit. From the result of multiple linear regression analysis also showsthat the Work Motivation variable and the Internal Communication variable have a significant effect partially on the Quality of Service

Laboratory Investigations on Estuary Salinity Mixing: Preliminary Analysis

Estuaries are bodies of water along the coasts that are formed when fresh water from rivers flows into and mixes with salt water from the ocean. The estuaries serve as a habitat to some aquatic lives, including mangroves. Human-induced activities such as dredging of shipping lanes along the bottom estuarine, the disposal of industrial wastes into the water system and shoreline development influence estuarine dynamics which include mixing process. These activities might contribute to salinity changes and further adversely affect the estuarine ecosystem. In order to study at the characteristics of the mixing between salt water (estuary) and freshwater (river), a preliminary investigation had been done in the laboratory. Fresh water was released from one end of the flume and overflowing at weir at the other end. Meanwhile, salt water was represented by the red dye tracer released through a weir and intruded upstrea

Global Globin Network Consensus Paper: Classification and Stratified Roadmaps for Improved Thalassaemia Care and Prevention in 32 Countries

The Global Globin Network (GGN) is a project-wide initiative of the Human Variome/Global Variome Project (HVP) focusing on haemoglobinopathies to build the capacity for genomic diagnosis, clinical services, and research in low- and middle-income countries. At present, there is no framework to evaluate the improvement of care, treatment, and prevention of thalassaemia and other haemoglobinopathies globally, despite thalassaemia being one of the most common monogenic diseases worldwide. Here, we propose a universally applicable system for evaluating and grouping countries based on qualitative indicators according to the quality of care, treatment, and prevention of haemoglobinopathies. We also apply this system to GGN countries as proof of principle. To this end, qualitative indicators were extracted from the IthaMaps database of the ITHANET portal, which allowed four groups of countries (A, B, C, and D) to be defined based on major qualitative indicators, supported by minor qualitative indicators for countries with limited resource settings and by the overall haemoglobinopathy carrier frequency for the target countries of immigration. The proposed rubrics and accumulative scores will help analyse the performance and improvement of care, treatment, and prevention of haemoglobinopathies in the GGN and beyond. Our proposed criteria complement future data collection from GGN countries to help monitor the quality of services for haemoglobinopathies, provide ongoing estimates for services and epidemiology in GGN countries, and note the contribution of the GGN to a local and global reduction of disease burden
