The Implementation of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) to Improve Speaking Ability of Students in Bali State Polytechnic

Preliminary observations conducted in Bali State Polytechnic found that the students' learning outcomes in speaking were still shallow. Modern facilities equipped with advanced technology such as computer devices known as CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) are vital to helping lecture in language teaching and learning process, including speaking. This study aims to improve student speaking learning outcomes in English courses by conducting CALL and how CALL can make a contribution in increasing speaking ability in Vocational Higher Education.  The research method used in this research was mix method approach. The subjects were the students of Electrical Engineering, Bali State Polytechnic. The data were analyzed quantitatively and descriptively. The results showed that the video-assisted CALL method's application could improve student learning outcomes in English courses.int shows the differences in the pre-test and post-test results, where there is an increase of 14.34%. Besides, the CALL method also allows students to have more expressive activities in presenting conversation among their friends to feel happy and interested. Similarly, CALL can also create fun learning since the students learn using the internet and computer, which are commonly use

The application of generosity maxim: a case study in “Divergent” movie

Maxim is general principle which is thought to underlie the efficient use of language. This research was conducted to find out the existence of the generosity maxim applied by the characters in “Divergent” movie and the factors which caused the characters applying the maxim in their utterances throughout the movie. Data of the research was utterances used in the movie. The data was identified by using theory of maxim[1] to see if it merely applied the maxim of generosity and what factors influenced it use in the data. The data were analyzed by using the theory of politeness maxim proposed by Leech[1] and the statements about factors that influence the application of politeness maxims proposed by Holmes[2]. The result analysis was described descriptively. Documentation and observation methods are applied in collecting the data. The result showed that the application of the generosity maxim existing in “Divergent” movie and the factors influencing the application of the maxim in this movie are gender and context of situation. The factors which most frequently influenced the application of the generosity maxim in the movie is the context of situation, and the factor which least frequently influenced the application of the maxim is gende

ALAT PENCATAT TEMPERATUR OTOMATIS MENGGUNAKAN TERMOKOPEL BERBASIS MIKROKONTROLER AT89S51

An automatic temperature reader has been made by using a thermocouple based on microcontroller AT89S51. The automatic temperature works in range 0°C-66°C which has 6,07% linierity. The sensors of thermocouple works by detect changes of heat, producing in difference of voltage which then will be read by microcontroller AT89S51. The detection data given, will then be send into a PC for it to be further analyzed and finally-shown. The program used for this is Visual Basic 6. The relationship of voltage and temperature is interpolasi polynomial
