The Discussion of Community Language Learning

This method takes its principles from the more general counseling learning approach developed by Charles A. Curran, believed that away to deal with the fears of students is for teachers to become ‘Language Counselor”. A language counselor means someone who is a skillful understander of the struggle students’ face in learning another language. Teachers must be understanding their students and being sensitive to them because this feeling can give students’ positive energy. Besides that, in this method advises teachers to consider their students as ‘whole persons’ that means not only their students’ intellect but also have understanding of relationship to the students.
The goals of this method are for students to learn how to use the target language communicatively as whole persons, valuing both thoughts and feelings.
The teacher’s initial role is primarily that of a counselor, he/she recognizes how threatening a new situation and focuses not only the language but also on being supportive of learners in their learning process.
According to Curran, there are six elements necessary for no defensive learning. First is security, second is aggression, third is attention, fourth is reflection, fifth is retention, and the last is discrimination.
The most important skills are understanding and speaking the language at the beginning, so learning is started by reading and writing. If students make the errors, the teacher will repeat correctly what the students have said incorrectly.

The Principles:
1. Teacher must build a relationship with their students.
2. Students learn non-defensively when they feel secure.
3. Language is for communication.
4. The student’s learning is facilitated, also interaction among students rather than from students to teacher.
5. The teacher should be sensitive to students.
6. Students feel more secure when they know the limits of an activity and they understand everything.
7. Teacher and students are whole persons.
8. Guided by the knowledge that each learners is unique.
9. The teacher ‘counsels’ the students.
10. The students’ native language is used to make meaning clear.
11. The teacher takes the responsibility for clearly structuring activities in the most appropriate way.
12. Learning at the beginning is facilitated.
13. The teacher encourages students’ initiative and independence.
14. Students need quite reflection time in order to learn.

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

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
