DESSUGESTOPEDIA

Introduction
Celce-Murcia (1991) calls an affective-humanistic approach, an approach in which there is respect for students’ feelings. The originator of this method, Georgi Lozanov, believes as does Silent Way’s Caleb Gattegno, that language learning can occur at a much faster than ordinarily transpires. ‘Dessugestopedia’, the application of the study of suggestion to pedagogy, has been developed to help students eliminate the feeling that they cannot be successful or the negative association they may have toward studying and, thus, to help them overcome the barriers to learning.

The Principles of Dessugestopedia
1. Learning is facilitated in a cheerful environment, so students can learn from what is present in the environment.
2. Students will accept and retain information if they trust and respect the teacher, that recognize that learner bring certain psychological barriers.
3. Assuming a new identity enhances students’ feeling of security and allows them to be more open.
4. The dialog contains language students can use immediately.
5. Sings are useful and evoking positive emotions.
6. The teacher should integrate indirect positive suggestion, present and explain the grammar and vocabulary, but not dwell on them.
7. Fine art provides positive suggestion for students.
8. Native language translation to make clear.
9. Communication takes place on two planes: linguistic encoded and linguistic message.
10. A calm state.
11. The distinction between conscious and the subconscious is most blurred and, therefore, learning can occur.
12. Dramatization is a particularly valuable.
13. The fine arts (music, art, and drama) enable suggestion to reach the subconscious.
14. The teacher should help the students ‘active’ the material to which they have been exposed. Novelty aids acquisition.
15. Music and movement reinforce the linguistic material.
16. In atmosphere of play, the conscious attention of the learner does not focus on linguistic forms, but rather than using the language.
17. Errors are correctly gently, not in direct, confrontational manner.

Reviewing the Principles
- Students learn to use a foreign language for everyday communication.
- The students must trust and respect their teacher.
- A Dessugestopedic course is conducted in a classroom which is bright and cheerful.
- The teacher initiates interactions with the whole group of students and with individuals right from the beginning of a language course.
- A great deal of attention is given to students’ feelings naturally and easily in this method.
- F the fine arts is also important in Desuggestopedic classes.
- Vocabulary and speaking communicatively is emphasized.
- Native-language translation is used to make the meaning of the dialog clear.
- Evaluation is conducted on students’ normal in-class performance and not through formal tests.
- Errors are correctly gently, with the teacher using a soft voice.

Equivalence in Translation

Equivalence is the important thing that must be achieved in translation process, a translation product can be said successfully if the readers or listeners of that translation product do not know that they are reading or listening of translation product that means responds of the readers or listeners when they read and listen the source text is same when they read or listen the translation product. Equivalence can be said to be the central issue in translation. The thing that is found out of translator is the equivalence meaning from source language (SL) to target language (TL). The concept of equivalence nevertheless broadened out when the American Bible theorist and translator Eugene Nida (1964) recognized the polarities ‘dynamic equivalence’ (same function) and ‘formal equivalence’ (same form, probably with a different function). There were thus different kinds of equivalence that could be established, independently of whatever was considered ‘natural’ before the translator ente

JENIS-JENIS GAYA BAHASA

EXAMPLES OF TRANSLATION PRINCIPLES

Based on Allan Duff, the principles of translation must be following these: 1.       Meaning:  the translation should reflect the meaning accurately. For example: I'd never given much thought to how I would die — though I'd had reason enough in the last few months— but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. Aku tidak pernah terlalu memikirkan bagaimana aku akan mati, meskipun aku punya cukup alasan  beberapa bulan terakhir ini, tapi kalaupun memiliki alasan, aku tak pernah membayangkan akan seperti ini. (Source: Twilight and its translation) I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me. Aku menatap ruangan panjang itu tanpa bernafas, ke dalam mata gelap sang pemburu, dan ia balas menatapku senang. 2.       Form: The words order should match the original as closely as possible. Example: She hugged me tightly for a minute, and then I got on the plane, and she was go
