Her research interests include linguistics, applied linguistics, teaching and learning practices. Email: [email protected] Abstract The study aims to utilize metaphor as a research tool to examine the underlying belief of students in learning English as Foreign language (EFL) in Senior High School level. The status of English in Indonesia as a foreign language determines the way English is practiced and carried. Likewise, the EFL status is no longer relevant to vast development of English as a global language. In this sense, Indonesian Government has established English as foreign language since 1967 which defines its function limited to academic purposes. It never serves as a means of communication. Thus, metaphor analysis will be conducted in order to understand the way students perceived their English learning under foreign language circumstances. In cognitive linguistics study, metaphor is claimed to be central in windowing human pattern of conceptualization. In this respect, CMT (Conceptual Metaphor Theory) is utilized in order to uncover students’ conceptualization of learning English as foreign Language (EFL). Qualitative Unive rsity of Mataram Jln. Majapahit No. 62 Mataram, Nusa Tenggara Barat 83125 Phone(0370) 623873 7 descriptive method is employed, specifically a tripartite model of discourse analysis. A tripartite discourse analysis model inspects text in micro, meso and macro level of analysis. The data will be gathered from 50 Indonesian students. To elicit the images of English as Foreign Language, a questionnaire deliver to the respondents. The respondents are required to complete the task: “English is a Foreign Language. Learning English is like …………….” The result is expected to enlighten Government perspective of English language policy in Indonesia. Keywords: Learning English as foreign language (EFL), Metaphor Analysis, Tripartite Discourse Analysis Model. Introduction The study sets out to describe the underlying belief of students in senior high school level in Indonesia who learn English as Foreign Language. The image of students created through metaphor expression they have produced may give insight to their mental representation which contained information about their learning. The status of English in this country determines its belief and practices which has already internalized in the mind of the learner. In this case, many learners belief that English is a hard subject. Learning English under Foreign Language circumstance raise a mental block issue. It has been seen through the process of questionnaire piloting. A senior high school student is given a task to be completed as in “English is a Foreign Language. Learning English is like………………”From the task completion she describes that learning English is like swallowing sea water (salty water). In this sense, the noun swallowing activates food frame. Learning English is like learning about food. The food may taste delicious or not. However, salty food is unpleasant to taste and to swallow. It uncovers the belief of the student that learning English is unpleasant and uneasy task. Likewise, the status of English as a foreign language contributes to this hardship. Thus, the study raises two questions: (1) what images do senior high school students generate about their English learning? (2) what is the implication of those images to students’ belief? 8 Literature Review The Status and Function of English in Indonesia Historically, English has already accepted as one foreign language in Indonesia since 1945. Wachendorf (the head the Central Inspectorate of English Instruction) has established that English would be taught in Junior and Senior high school (year 7-12) as a compulsory subject which focus on the teaching and learning of reading and grammar (Jazadi, 2004). Since that day, the status and function in Indonesia has never developed into a tool of communication. Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) in Cognitive Linguistics View In Aristotle era, metaphor has been recognized by its power in shaping and influencing somebody’s thought (Evan and Green, 2006). Metaphor allows human to utter abstract concept in a more familiar concept through cross domain mapping (Krennmayr, 2011; Cortazzi and Jin 1999, Cienki, 2005). It is an aid of human cognitive process and it may determine people attitude based on their perception of reality (Nikita and Furuoka, 2008: 194). Here is an example of metaphor expressions which is taken from Krennmayr (2011:11) What he said left bad taste in my mouth I just can’t swallow that claim From these expressions, all the italics words do not refer to food

Ad A leaflet for e-cigarettes, which featured the "Ten Motives disposable electronic cigarette" and pictured two versions of the product, stated "The healthier smoking alternative", and "... because it contains no tar or cancerous toxins, you can still enjoy smoking without worrying about the effects on your health". Issue The complainant challenged whether the following claims were misleading and could be substantiated: 1. "The healthier smoking alternative"; and, 2. "you can still enjoy smoking without worrying about the effects on your health". CAP Code (Edition 12) 3.13.7 Response Ten Motives Ltd stated that the MHRA had confirmed that it was acceptable to refer to their product as a healthier alternative. They stated that ASH were the recognised authority on smoking in the UK and quoted from their briefing document in June 2013, which stated "In 1976 Professor Michael Russell wrote: ‘People smoke for nicotine but they die from the tar’. Indeed, the harm from smoking is caused almost exclusively by toxins present in tobacco released through combustion. By contrast, pure nicotine products, although addictive, are considerably less harmful. Electronic cigarettes consequently represent a safer alternative to cigarettes for smokers who are unable or unwilling to stop using nicotine". They also provided links to the presentations given at an 'E-cig summit' in November 2013 at the Royal Society, which they stated had been attended by recognised international scientific authorities on smoking, including the MHRA.

  • Of Zandera Limited
    Anticipated acquisition by Emerging Products Holding BV (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Japan Tobacco Int) of Zandera Limited ME/6457/14 Summary 1. Japan Tobacco International (JTI) has agreed to acquire Zandera Limited, owner of the E-Lites e-cigarette brand (E-Lites) (the Merger). JTI is one of the UK’s largest suppliers of tobacco products, with no current e-cigarette offering. E-Lites currently supplies e-cigarettes but does not supply tobacco products. 2. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) gave notice to the parties that their Merger Notice was satisfactory on 14 July 2014. The CMA’s statutory timetable under section 34ZA(1) of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act) therefore expires on 8 September 2014. 3. As regards the product scope of the frame of reference, the CMA found that evidence from retailers and suppliers indicates that, although there is some degree of substitution between tobacco products and e-cigarettes, they are not currently close substitutes. As such, the CMA considers that they are likely to be in separate markets, although it was not necessary to conclude on this as no concerns arise on any basis. To the extent that there may be differences between the retail and online channels, the CMA has assessed the impact on them separately, while not concluding that they form distinct markets. 4. As regards geographic scope, the evidence received by the CMA indicates that it is likely to be at least as wide as national. The CMA has therefore assessed the impact of the Merger on the UK market. 5.
