Let us ask for God"s blessing upon this occasion so it can be an effective means to strengthen our role as researchers and writers. I do hope that the conference facilitates a fruitful sharing and exchange of ideas to respond one of the most difficult tragedies to understand, the 1965 coup in Indonesia. We might agree to what, how and why the coup happened but it is unbelievable to realize that part of the event was thousand innocent citizens killed in a massive massacre. It has left us a painful scar for the victims as well as created a series of serious problems to all related victims up to now. The anxiety, frustration and resentment are still around and felt deeply by the family members of the victims.

This paper is a corpus-based analysis which discusses comparative forms of adjectives from the linguistics perspectives. British National Corpus (BNC) is used to collect the data due to the generality of the corpora. BNC contains the collection of both spoken and written language in various text types, thus, it represents language variety as a whole. The analysis is done using semantic and syntax approach. Downing's and Locke's (2006) theory on semantic classes and Quirk's and Greenbaum's (1973) theory on syntactic functions were applied. The analysis was done in cycles, and stopped at the third cycle due to the similar findings between cycles. Ninety out of two hundred sentences containing comparative adjectives were analyzed. The analysis results in several findings. First, both semantic classes, descriptors and classifiers, appear in the analysis of comparative adjectives. Yet, the most frequent occurrence is in the semantic class of descriptors. Second, there are four syntactic functions in which comparative adjectives occur and most of them function as premodifier of a noun phrase. This paper presents the initial step for further research on comparative adjectives based on the research of semantics and syntax. Further researches on how semantic classes influence syntactic functions is encouraged.

"The 1965 Coup in Indonesia: Questions of Representations 50 Years Later" v A Welcome Note from the Chair As stated in its Strategic Plan 2013-2017, one of the short-term goals of Universitas Sanata Dharma is the improvement of the productivity, quality, and scope of its academic contribution and community service. This goal is carried out through various activities such as developing the quality of the education system and improving the quality of the lecturers. Those are supported by the improvement of research quality and research publication. It is emphasized that the researches done by Universitas Sanata Dharma must be qualified and contextual.

Therefore, this paper attempts to provide insights into current circumstances of English proficiency demands in the context of the graduate program, especially for international students of which Indonesians fall into the category. To better understand the circumstances, this paper collected information from publications related to master's degree student flows and admission requirements concerning standardized English tests, the Internet-based test (iBT) of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL ®) and the International English Language Testing System (IELTS TM) Academic test, to provide context to the language demands set by the program and gather statistics from two of the internationally acknowledged standardized English tests for academic purposes to illustrate the current situation of the Indonesians' English proficiency. From the discussions, the statistics point out that the overall performance of Indonesian test-takers has met the minimum standard requirements set by overseas universities and scholarships.

The application of Reflective Pedagogy, which sets out a learning cycle from context understanding to evaluation, and the employment of student-focused topics allow a more holistic learning process to take place. Giving students more opportunity to experience a full cycle of learning from planning to performance results in a deeper level of learning. Furthermore, trusting students with the responsibility in the conduct of their learning course, provided with appropriate approach and structured monitoring, leads to a more thorough development. Utilizing self-evaluation and peer-evaluation rubrics is a way to sharpen the students’ cognitive awareness, whereas self-reflection and peer-feedback forms enable them to develop their conscience by exercising their empathy towards themselves and others as well a...

Giving more responsibility to learners in conducting the course of their learning is possible by applying appropriate approach and structured monitoring. In process-based learning, learners are motivated to experience a full cycle of writing process from planning to revision. What is more important is that learners are also encouraged to measure their development by keeping track of those processes in the form of reflection journal. While, the process-based learning enables learners to sharpen their cognitive awareness by exercising selfevaluation, peer-evaluation, and feedback-evaluation, the reflection journal enables them to evaluate and reflect their overall experience, including the difficulties they encounter during the processes. For this purpose, the reflection journal is designed as a tool which makes learners understand their initial and final strengths and weaknesses, their int...

In Indonesian children's literature, disability is under-represented and the need to start representing disability in Indonesian children's literature is pressing. Inclusive books developing empathy leads the action of dignifying children of all types, with or without disabilities. Some inclusive children's literature worldwide set good examples of dignifying children. This paper tries to elaborates the urgency of having accessible inclusive children's literature in Indonesia by presenting examples of inclusive children's literature around the world which represents disabilities as diversities in society.

Often, the lines between the public/private dichotomy become blurred, and the traditional gender perception practiced in the private domain transcends to the public domain. This literature review scrutinizes the authoritative male voice in both the public and private domains within the violence against women discourse. This paper reports that the male authoritative voice is prevalent in both the private and public domains. Yet, the faint lines between the private and public domains cause the interference of a more structural authoritative voice toward the private domain. Even though the language of support enables the victims’ and survivors’ experiences to be verbalized, the support center staff are not all linguistically equipped to effectively elicit and report the experience. This ine...
