FBS UN Semarang
Abstract: Multiple choice model which is used in the National Exam (UN) can create a washback effect where schools make the efforts to ensure that their students pass UN. One alternative to avoid this negative washback effect, teachers are expected to develop tests which cover all domains of communicative competence. Therefore, the type of evaluation and test questions need to be analysed to examine their suitaibility with the evaluated basic competence, characterictics of the contextual approach, principles of class-based evaluation and the evaluation model for the learning of writing. Analysing writing evaluation made by elementary school teachers, the study indicates that there is no patterns of unifomity in the types of evaluation. Each grooup of teachers refers to different RPP and textbooks. The manners and time of evaluation are also different.

BAHASA DAN DIALEK TELUK PIRU, PULAU SERAM:
TERANCAM PUNAH DAN TERNYATA PUNAH
James T. Collins
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
Abstract: The article describes the Luhu and Kaiboho languages, two languages in Teluk Piru, from the phonological and morphological aspects. The reserach was conducted in the framework of the conservation of languages considered to be in danger of extinction. Phonologically, bothe the Luhu and Kaiboho languages had five vowel phonemes with the difference in the presence of a long vowel. Both languages had 17 consonants and 2 half consosnants. The shorttening of words in both languages resulted in consonant clusters so that many words ended in consonants not vowels. Word shortening is included in the morphophonological process because this process involves sound change (phonology) related to reduplication, afixation and compounding (morphology). In addition, morphological system in the two languages indicated verbal changes to signify personae and the number of doers. Verb inflections caused sound change in the base words to distinguish agency.
