The Effectiveness of Discussion Method in Teaching Speaking Skill Viewed from The Students’ Intelligence Quotient (An Experimental Research on the Tenth Grade of SMA Negeri 7 Purworejo in the Academic Year of 2012/2013). A thesis, English Education Department of Graduate School, Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta. Consultan I: Dr. Ngadiso, M.Pd; Consultant II: Dra.Dewi Rochsantiningsih, M.Ed. Ph.D. The aims of this research are to describe whether: (1) Discussion Method is better than Role-Play Method in teaching speaking skill; (2) The speaking skill of students having high IQ is better than that of those having low IQ; and(3) There is an interaction between the methods of teaching and students’ intelligence quotient. This experimental research was carried out at SMA Negeri 7 Purworejo from 26 January 2013 to 25 March 2013. The sample was taken using cluster sampling from the tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 7 Purworejo. The sample consists of 60 students which are divided into two classes, X.9 consisting of 30 students as an experimental class and class X.8 consisting of 30 students as a control class. School documents were used to get scores of students’ intelligence quotient. After treatment was conducted in 8 meeting, the researcher conducted a speaking test to get the research data. Having got the research data, researcher analyzed the data in term of their frequency distribution, normality of the sample distribution, and data homogeneity. Then, researcher used ANOVA test (multifactor analysis of variance) to test the research hypotheses. Referring to the summary of multifactor analysis of variance, it can be concluded that: (1) Discussion method is more effective than role-play method in teaching speaking skill for the tenth grade of SMAN 7 Purworejo in the Academic Year of 2012/2013; (2) Students having high IQ do not have a significant difference in speaking skill than those having low IQ for the tenth grade of SMAN 7 Purworejo in the Academic Year of 2012/2013; and (3) There is no interaction between teaching methods (discussion and role-play method) and students’ IQ in teaching speaking skill for the tenth grade of SMAN 7 Purworejo in the Academic Year of 2012/2013. The result of the research implies that discussion method is a very effective method to teach speaking skill to the tenth grade students. Therefore it is recommended that (1) teachers apply the discussion method in teaching speaking skill because it is proved to be a good method; (2) teachers motivate students to be more active and involved in the teaching and learning process to improve speaking skill; and (3) teachers encourage students to explore and develop their knowledge as a base to speak or convey their opinion and ideas in speaking class actively. Key words: Discussion Method, Role-Play, speaking skill, intelligence quotient, experimental study. commit to user vii perpustakaan.uns.ac.id digilib.uns.ac.id ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Bismillah, the researcher would like to say Alhamdullillah, all of the praises are just for Allah S.W.T, the creator of this universe who has given him everything so that he can finally complete the thesis.

  • Postgraduate Education in Europe Harmonising with a Dissonance?
    Sakari Ahola & Osmo Kivinen Postgraduate Education in Europe Harmonising with a dissonance? This presentation deals with the emerging European postgraduate policies and their larger EU-dimensions which have motivated the establishing of a co-operative network (PG-NET) of eight European countries. The focus is on the harmonisation of the European higher education scene, especially from the Finnish point of view. The ongoing Bologna process can be seen as an expression of the will to create a common higher education market in Europe in order to promote the free mobility of students and the labour force. In this respect the speculation taken furthest is that already in the near future the effort to maintain the distinction between universities and polytechnics will be given up. In this way Europe will probably follow in the footsteps of the US, and gradually move towards a three-phase model of higher education with abroad access and initial three-year programmes leading to the bachelor’s degree that provides advanced training but that are not closely linked with the world of academic research. In the next phase a smaller part will advance through selective procedures to the master’s level on which studies are also more closely connected with scientific work. Only at the post-master’s level leading to a doctorate will the humboldtian ideal of the integrated nexus of teaching, research and learning be attained. It is argued in the paper that this kind of a two (or three) tier structure would be suitable especially from the perspective of the European Graduate School model and beneficial also to the functioning of the Finnish higher education system with its special problem points.

  • Translating Degrees and Academic Titles Abbreviations: Challenges and Perspectives
    Slađana Milinković TRANSLATING DEGREES AND ACADEMIC TITLES ABBREVIATIONS: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES SLAĐANA MILINKOVIĆ Th e Court Interpreters and Translators Association of Serbia E-mail: [email protected] Egyetemi fokozatok és tudományos címek rövidítéseinek fordítása: kihívások és perspektí- vák. Az ember társas lény, ezért természetes szükséglete a kommunikáció. Az emberi kommuni- káció fontosságát már évezredekkel ezelőtt felismerték, és gyökerei sokkal messzebbre nyúlnak vissza, mint amiről az írott történelem beszámol. Az emberi kommunikáció alapja az együttmű- ködés és a közös szándék, ahogy azt az antroposzemiotika is tanítja. Idáig azonban hosszú utat kellett bejárni. „Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”,1 tanítja a Biblia, de az igét meg kell hallgatni, és terjeszteni kell. Minél messzebbre kellett eljutnia, annál fontosabb volt, hogy valamilyen módon lejegyezzék. És az em- ber másik természetes szükséglete, hogy nyomot hagyjon a világban – valamilyen képpel, szám- mal vagy betűvel. Nézzük meg röviden ennek a történetét. Kulcsszavak: latin nyelvű oklevelek, egyetemi fokozatok fordítása, tudományos címek rövidítése, bírósági tolmácsolás, a terminológia alakulása Since man is a social being, one of his innate needs is the desire to communicate. Th e importance of human communication has been recognised for thousands of years, far longer than demonstrated through recorded history. Human communication is rooted in cooperative and shared intentions, as anthroposemiotics teaches us. But it was a long road to get us here. “Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”, the Bible has taught us, but it has to be heard and spread. Th e further it needed to go, the greater was the need to record it in some way. And the second man’s innate need was to make a mark in the world – with a picture of some kind, a certain sign, numeral or letter.

  • Doctorate 1 Doctorate
    Doctorate 1 Doctorate A doctorate is an academic degree or professional degree that, in most countries, qualifies the holder to teach at the university level in the specific field of his or her degree, or to work in a specific profession. The research doctorate, or the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and its equivalent titles, represents the highest academic qualification. While the structure of U.S. doctoral programs is more formal and complex than in some other systems, the research doctorate is not awarded for the preliminary advanced study that leads to doctoral candidacy, but rather for successfully completing and defending the independent research presented in the form of the doctoral dissertation (thesis). Several first-professional degrees use the term “doctor” in their title, such as the Juris Doctor and the US version of the Doctor of Medicine, but these degrees do not universally contain an independent research component or always require a dissertation (thesis) and should not be confused with PhD degrees or other research doctorates.[1] In fact many universities offer Ph.D followed by a professional doctorate degree or joint Ph.D. with the professional degree (most often Ph.D. work comes sequential to the professional degree): eg. Ph.D. in law after J.D. or equivalent [2][3][4][5] in physical therapy after DPT,[6][7] in pharmacy after DPharm.[8][9] Often such professional degrees are refereed as entry level doctorate program [10][11][12] and Ph.D as postprofessional doctorate. In some countries, the highest degree in a given field is called a terminal degree, although this is by no means universal (the term is not in general use in the UK, for example), practice varies from country to country.
