The document discusses a computer-assisted teaching method for teaching types of nouns and their functions to junior high school students. It begins by providing background on the importance of language and communication. It then describes the research problem, scope, and methodology. It defines and provides examples of 7 types of nouns: common, proper, collective, abstract, compound, count, and mass. It discusses 9 functions of nouns: subject, direct object, indirect object, object of preposition, predicate noun, appositive noun, possessive modifier, adjective, and adverb. Finally, it describes the computer tutorial program used, which presents materials and exercises across 5 units, with pop-up explanations and a non-sequential design allowing student choice
We all use grammar from the time that we can speak in intelligible sentences, because Grammar deals with the abstract system of rules in terms of which a person’s mastery of his native language can be explained. We assume that it all happens naturally and are only confronted with the need to understand and define how English works when we learn another language or attempt to teach English to others. so, let us see about functional grammar.
An article on applying theme and rheme analysis in translationRusdi Noor Rosa
This paper focuses on the use of theme and rheme analysis as a criterion for judging good translation as judgement without criterion is just a pain. The purpose of translation is to convey the same message in different language for understanding process assistance. However, a translated text sometimes contains a slightly different message from its source. This will certainly lead to ineffective use of translation for delivering different messages in different languages. Every message has a core realized in a theme informing the focus of the message. Different focus shapes different mental pattern of how the message is understood. Moreover, in translating extremely important documents, e.g. Act of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 Year 2003 on National Education System, the theme of every clause must be carefully controlled. This Act serves as the legal framework for the major educational goal, policies and plans in Indonesia. Considering its vital role in the Indonesian education system, it should be well translated.

Learn BEM fundamentals as fast as possible. What is BEM (Block, element, modifier), BEM syntax, how it works with a real example, etc.
Content personalisation is becoming more prevalent. A site, it's content and/or it's products, change dynamically according to the specific needs of the user. SEO needs to ensure we do not fall behind of this trend.
You have now explored in a practical way a number of different aspects of language and learning, including the difference between implicit and explicit knowledge of rules, rule discovery, the grammar of spoken and written English, phonology, and linguistic and communicative competence. I now want to turn to the significance of grammatical and communicative contexts for understanding words and grammatical structures. For example, in this unit you will study not only the grammar of the passive, but also the contexts in which it is used.
The unit begins with a look at what we can find out about a word in a dictionary and includes an activity to test your knowledge of grammar terminology. It finishes with a look at some of the reasons why words and patterns change over time and the question of what we consider to be 'correct' modern English.
Dictionaries can give teachers and learners an overall view of a word, with information about its many different aspects. So it's a good idea to get to enjoy using dictionaries. I'm therefore starting this unit with an activity to test your knowledge of what a dictionary can tell you about a word.
1. What information might a dictionary give about a word you look up (for example, its pronunciation)? Make a note of your ideas.
2. Now look up the word kneel in a dictionary and see what information is given. Summarize what you found.
Comment
1. Dictionaries can tell you about a word's:
pronunciation (including where the stress lies)
meaning(s)
word class(es)
different forms (for example past tense, plural)
usage
origin.
2. You could have found the following information about kneel:
how it is pronounced
that it is a verb
that it is intransitive (see below)
that it has alternative past tense forms: knelt or kneeled
that kneeled is used particularly in the United States
that kneel down is a phrasal verb
that it means fall or rest on the knees or a knee
that it comes from an old English word, cneowlian.
In a dictionary like Cobuild or The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, you will also find examples showing you how the word can be used: for example, He kneels beside the girl or Lottie knelt down to pray. We are also given the -ing form of the verb and an example: The kneeling figure was Mary Darling.
Transitive and intransitive verbs
A dictionary always tells you whether a verb is transitive or intransitive, that is, whether it can be followed by an object or not.
The verb 'lost' is transitive because we can put a noun after it. The verb yawned is intransitive because we can't put a noun after it.
Active and passive sentences
Sentences in English are either active or passive. Teachers of English need to understand the grammar of each of them and to be clear under what circumstances it is appropriate to use either the passive or the active. Let's start with the grammar.

We learned that native speakers have an implicit knowledge of grammar and that children acquire this without realizing it. I commented, however, that a language teacher needs to be able to describe grammatical rules, and in Unit 2 you noted some grammatical differences between spoken and written English. Unit 3 will introduce further grammar concepts and you will have the chance to assess your own explicit knowledge. Unit 2 also began to explore the area of what language we actually choose to use. This unit will continue the theme by looking at how we choose to speak in different situations and will show that this sort of knowledge is just as important for a language learner as grammatical knowledge.
Linguistic competence
The term 'linguistic competence' refers to a person's knowledge of grammar, lexis and sound patterns. As you now know, a native speaker easily acquires implicit knowledge of these aspects of language in childhood. Learners of a foreign language, on the other hand, struggle hard to acquire them. Choosing suitable grammar, words and sound patterns for the particular situation you are in is just as important and this is what the second half of this unit explores. First, though, we will investigate some grammar rules - that is, patterns of usage - and see how they might be useful to a learner of English.
Why do grammar activities like these?
As you carry out the activities on grammar in this unit, remember that it would be very unlikely for a teacher to tell learners everything at once about a particular grammatical item and expect them to apply it when communicating. What she can do is guide learners towards their own understanding about the limits that grammar sets in English - in other words the rules of English grammar. The activities in this section will give you an insight into how to discover and articulate these limits.
A teacher must be skilled at deducing the rules herself so that she can then foster this skill in her learners, who themselves need to develop the same skill if they are to become effective, independent learners. Without such strategies they'll be left to rely entirely on the trial and error methods of a child, and few learners have time to do it this way. So let's now look for some linguistic patterns in English.
Finding patterns: verbs
This section is about looking for boundaries and patterns in verbs. It isn't a comprehensive guide to verbs in the English language. I could have chosen any of the main word classes to investigate - for example, nouns, pronouns or adjectives. But the variety and complexity of the English verb offers you as good a chance as any to practice teasing out and describing some grammatical rules. Verbs also happen to be very central to everything that goes on in English and the explicit knowledge you gain from this section will be useful to you. We'll start with defining the word verb.

WHY STUDY WORDS? What is a word?
The same is true of the term word. We use words all the time. We intuitively know what the words in our language are. Nevertheless most of us would be hard pushed to explain to anyone what kind of object a word is.
Adjectives and their Difficulties in English and Arabic A Comparative Study -...Al Baha University
This study is an attempt to examine analytically the
similarity and differences of adjectives in both languages,
English and Arabic. The study attempts to methodically evaluate
the different kinds of English adjectives as well as the Arabic
adjectives focusing on the usage, the differences and similarities,
as well as the difficulties.
Moreover it aims to shed light on the way to make such
comparison understandable. It is prepared to contribute in
enriching the field of study because of the lack to researches in
this area.
The study is compromised of four sections. The first section
deals with a brief introduction summarizing the importance of
the study. A short definition of adjectives in English and Arabic
is presented. The second section deals with Adjectives in
English, detailed definitions, and the types of adjectives
supported by examples. Whereas the third part independently,
introduces with details the Adjectives in Arabic; its meaning, and
types supported with examples. The fourth concentrates on a
short comparative study between adjectives in English and
Arabic shedding light on the problems and difficulties of
adjectives in both Arabic and English followed by a general
conclusions, findings and recommendations of the study.
It is the presentation about Parts of speech.In this presentation you can get some Definition,Examples and Importance of parts of speech.This presentation is best for beginners or primary student to learn parts of speech.I hope you like it so don't forget to write feedback.Thank you.
1. CHAPTER I
1.1.Background and Reason Choosing the Title
In daily life human being must do activity called communication. Without
human communication as a social creature would have knocked out and left behind in
the community. Whatever profession and his work, whether a teacher, a politician, a
journalist, poet, translator, and as with respect to any language as a means of
communication, it will face linguistic problems.
Language is the most important tool in human’s life, so it seems obvious that
the human language can convey his heart to each other or can also express
themselves. Language is used in all human life, whether for communication,
publication or cultural development of the nation as a tool to make the language as a
key to improve human’s knowledge. So the language is very important in the
activities of science.
Fabricate is a whole series of activities a person expressing an idea and present
it to the public through written language readers to understand. Writing ability is the
ability to convey thoughts or orders to others in the written language.
To produce a good essay, and meaningful, authors must be a master of
language. word is the smallest unit after phrases and clauses in the syntactic units.
The word is also one of the important elements in forming a sentence. Efficient use of
the word is related to the provision choose to express an idea, thing or things to be
mandated and compliance in the use of words that have been selected.
2. Therefore, according to the language skills sufficient the grammar. Wealth of
a person's skill of grammar also determine the quality of the speaking and also
writing appearances. To have a rich grammar’s skill student must understanding the
grammar and be a master of the meaning of these words. it can be said that a student's
ability to fabricate obviously depends on the quality and quantity of its vocabulary.
Increasingly rich vocabulary has, the greater the likelihood that a person is able to
fabricate.
Grammar also has a big role definition of language, because grammar is used
to express some case ,or some expression to be meaningful for understanding. As we
seen, every language has its own particular ways of making the words be understood.
So, when we say that English grammar is different from French grammar or Germany
grammar, but there is simply another way to saying that the behavior of words in the
English is so different from the behavior words in many language grammar.
The most element that we have meet in every sentences is noun, because
noun has many function to express something or things depend of the speaker need to
use it, it can be concrete noun, and also it can be abstract noun. This case is the
background for the analyst for choosing to be researched, in this paper.
The Analyst want to use the once of many method of teaching it’s called
Computer assisted method, this method is a blending between technology and
human’s skill, because the student must listen the audio that was recorded before it to
be played for the student and then the student must fill the assessment form from the
teacher.
3. 1.2.Statement Of the Problem
Through this paper The Analyst want to use once of many method of
teaching it’s called Computer assisted method, this method is a blending between
technology and human’s skill, because the student must listen the audio that was
recorded before it to be played for the student and then the student must fill the
assessment form from the teacher.
1.3.Scope Of The Problem
This paper limits its discussion on analysing the analyzing of computer assisted
teaching method for teaching a types of noun and also the function in their each
sentences for the students of junior high school for the ninth grade.
1.4. Method and Procedures of the Analysis
This paper uses descriptive qualitative method. The technique of collecting
the necessary data and ground theory are through library research. The analyst starts
from indentifying the noun and also their function in each sentences and the computer
assisted program. By using the ground theory about noun and its function, each data
is then explained thoroughly. The last procedure taking assessment from the student
while to check their understanding of this method.
4. CHAPTER II
2.1. Noun Description and Types of Noun
Noun is a word to indicate a person, a place, or a thing. A thing in this
description can be a physical entity or it can be an abstract idea. A noun may be used
as a subject of a sentence, as a direct object, as an indirect object, or it may be used as
the object of a preposition. Some additional noun applications are addressed below.
Some examples of noun usage appear in the following sentences
For the first, Noun has many types such as Common Noun, Proper Noun,
Collective Noun, Abstract Noun, Compound Noun, Count Noun, and the last Mass
noun. From these types of noun, we can know that noun is has many function and
also many type as we discuss below. So there are seven types of noun that we use to
convey the meaning. So ,There are seven types of noun.
2.1.1. Common Noun
Common noun is the noun that used to refer to a general class of person,
place, or thing. For the example: boy, girl, zoo, and rock. These words refer to a
category of noun, rather than to the special title of the specific noun.
2.1.2. Proper Noun
Proper noun is the noun to express some names that refer specifically to
identity of certain special noun. Proper noun include the names of people (Obama),
Geographical names (Indonesia), names of brand (Coffee Bean), institutional names
5. (Bina Sarana Informatika) as well as titles of film, literature and artwork (Iron Man).
Proper nouns are always by capitalized.
2.1.3. Collective Noun
Collective noun is used to refer to a group or collection of noun with one
word. Consider for example the first word in each of the following phrases: flock of
geese, pack of cigarettes, crowd of people, and bundle of sticks.
2.1.4. Abstract Noun
Abstract noun is the noun to use to refer the concept that we objectify in our
thought and our speech but we don’t have the material form. Example: hope, desire,
fear, anguish. From these examples, we can know that these words are unique, for we
may treat them as an object in the sentences, while they do not exist as object in the
physical thing, as do other noun.
2.1.5. Compound Noun
Compound noun is the noun that consist for two or more words combined.
Some compound nouns are hyphenated or linked by a line. Example(jack-in-the-box).
Other consist of separate of words. Example(board of trustees). And some compound
nouns are two or more words combined without hyphen or linked without a line
(manslaughter).
6. 2.1.6. Count Noun
Count noun is the noun that may be counted in numbers, for example: two
eggs, three cars, four birds. Count noun is used to show plurality, there may add an
“s” to the end of the word, but in some case we must add “es”: bushes, dishes,
brushes.
2.1.7. Mass noun
Mass Noun is the noun that called non-count noun, or it means the noun may
be not counted, such as milk, water and sunlight. These nouns may be quantified by
certain constants. Example (jar of milk, rays of sunlight), but we may not give the the
number in the standard plural fashion such as in this example (three milks, two
sunlights).
According to (cf Bunt 1985, 44-47)
The fact that mass extensions are non atomic expresses the intuition that
the meaning of words like water and ice does not specify minimal parts (cf.
Bunt 1985, 44–47)
2.2. The Functions of Noun
After we know about the types of noun, we can know that noun has some
usefulness in their each function. Noun is not only a part of things but it has many
functions.
Various theories have been proposed to explain the constructions and
interpretations of this type of combination (Lisa Paulson: 2012, 1)
7. 2.2.1. Noun as a Subject
Example: Mr. Rojali drive a car into the parking place
Asmat is the famous dyak in Borneo
If it were Saturday, Mrs. Szalinsky would be here
From these examples we can know that Mr. Rojali is the subject of the first
sentence. Asmat is the subject of the second sentence. Asmat is the name of some
native ethnic group of Borneo. A noun that represents the name of a person or a
specific place is a proper noun. Some other nouns are also proper nouns, e.g.,
September, Easter, Holocaust. A proper noun is capitalized regardless of its position
in the sentence. Mrs.Szalinsky is the subject of the third sentence.
2.2.2. Noun as Direct Object
Example: Mr. John washed the car
The Lecture commended Ali
From these examples we can identify the direct by asking whom or what?, for
the first sentence, we can use the question tag “what”, what did Mr. John wash?;
Answer: a car. So, the car is the direct object of the verb washed. And for the second
sentence, we can use the question tag “whom”, The Lecture commended whom?;
Answer: Ali. So, Ali is the direct object of the verb commended.
2.2.3. Noun as Indirect Object
Example: I gave Stephanie a rose
He bought the dog a chain
8. To indicate the indirect object we can use the question tag “to what?” or “for
what?”, and “to whom?” or “for whom?”. For the first sentence, I gave a rose to
whom?, Answer: Stephanie, So, Stephanie is the indirect object of the verb gave. And
for the second sentence, He bought a chain to what?, Answer: the dog.
2.2.4. Noun as Object of Preposition
Example: He drive the car into the garage
For her perspective, the meeting was a success
For the first sentence, the preposition word is to. So, the object of preposition
is the garage. And for the second, the preposition word is from. So, the object of
preposition is perspective.
2.2.5. Noun Functioning as Predicate of Noun
In this case the intransitive verb cannot accept an object. A noun that follows
an intransitive verb and completes the meaning of a sentence is called a complement.
The word complement means to complete. A sentence has a subject and a predicate.
Predicate also has a generic term that includes those parts of the sentence that explain
the subject of the sentence. The noun that follows an intransitive verb and completes
the predicate it may also called a predicate of noun or predicate nominative.
Example: Mr. John is a Dentist
I am a policeman
For the first sentence, the subject is Mr. John and Dentist is the predicate
noun. So, the predicate of Mr. John is a Dentist. And for the second sentence the
9. subject is I, and policeman is the predicate noun of I. So, the predicate of I is a
policeman.
2.2.6. Noun Functioning as Appositive noun
The appositive noun means near. In English grammar an appositive is a noun
or pronoun located near another noun or pronoun, and the appositive enhances our
understanding of the original noun or pronoun.
Example: My brother, Azhar, is in town for the reunion.
Miguel, the American, will deliver the commencement oration
In that sentence, my brother is the subject, and Azhar is the appositive. Miguel is the
subject of the second sentence, and American is the appositive.
2.2.7. Noun as Possessive Modifier
The noun as possessive modifier it means the noun can be used to modify
another noun. So, the noun functions as an adjective or adverb, and also convey a
sense of possession. Consider the following example.
Example: The town’s water supply is in jeopardy
The word town is a noun. In the sentence above the word town's identifies which
water supply is in jeopardy. Town's is possessive case. The town possesses the water
supply
10. 2.2.8. Noun Functioning as an Adjective
Example: The water pump is broken
The word water is a noun, but in this example it functions an an adjective to describes
the kind of pump.
2.2.9. The Noun Functioning as an Adverb
Example: I walked home.
The word home in this sentence is a noun, but in this example it functions as an
adverb that defines where I walked.
There are many function of noun, but it can’t be used for teaching in senior
junior high school for the ninth grade, it will be continue in the syllabus of senior
high school for the next.
2.3. The Computer Tutorial Program
The computer tutorial program is the new way to teach in the country which
use English language for the second language, this method was taken as a self access
computer assisted. It can also use to be more interactive for the student and the
teacher, because the computer linked from the teacher’s computer as a server to
another student’s computer. In this country it may be called computer’s laboratory or
language laboratory.
11. According to (Hartoyo,M.A., Ph.D. 2006:57) :
“The tutorial program was installed in the hard disk and in the floppy disk for
some handy use of the computer available in laboratory to enable the student
to use it anytime....”
So the students and teacher can talk to each other directly without wasting a
time for walking or playing, but it also must under teacher’s surveillance. Because the
computer is thing that need more protected than a book.
The computer tutorial program is consist of five units and each units contains
two sections(material presentation and exercises). The material presentation presented
firstly in every section of each unit. The explanation must be related with the topic
that given in the form of pop up which appear whenever the students click it in some
table or the hot words that linked with the pop up windows.
This program is non-sequential or the program is not only a trial, because if
the program sequential or only for trial, the teacher cannot get the full access in that
program. The program which use in this method must designed by using multimedia
authoring software, Asymetrix Multimedia Toolbook, to enable the students to
choose any topic or information which they want.
