| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Criticism of the theater in the Elizabethan period was not the first thing happened in the history of the world drama. Most historians and critics agree that the antitheatrical prejudice begun with Plato. The Platonic belief in the reality of the Idea was often referred to in later arguments againts the stage. According to Plato, the physical world is not real because it is an imitation of the Idea and only the Idea is the Truth. Thus, art is three times removed from the Truth because it is an imitation of the physical world. In the Elizabethan era, the anti-stage arguments were later intensified with the conflict of power among the Church, the City and the Court. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Melodrama has been a part of the American life since colonial time. This genre, with its `hero-villain` or `black and white` development of characters, has formed the idea of the American heroes. In Western films, in which the `local` themes of westward movement on the American society are developed, melodrama treats the dichotomy of hero-villain more stereotypically. The heroes depict the concept of the American `self` and the villains picture the `other`. However, the development of Western film shows that the stereotypical treatment on `self` and the `other` undergoes some changes. |

In the language lab, students can improve their language skill, especially their listening skill, since most of the activities done there deal with listening comprehension. However, ESL students often feel bored when they study at the language lab because they only do monotonous activities there.

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | This article reports an exploratory study of lecturers` perceptions of out-of-class academic collaboration (OCAC) among students at a large Singapore university. Two types of OCAC were investigated: collaboration initiated by students, e.g., groups decide on their own to meet to prepare for exams, and collaboration required by teachers, e.g., teachers assign students to do projects in groups. Data were collected via one-on-one interviews with 18 faculty members from four faculties at the university. Findings suggest that OCAC, especially of a teacher-required kind, is fairly common at the university. Faculty members` views on factors affecting the success of OCAC are discussed for the light they might shed on practices to enhance the effectiveness of OCAC. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The method presented here provides the basis for a course in American prose for EFL students. UNderstanding and appreciation of American prose is a difficult task for the students because they come into contact with works that are full of cultural baggage and for apart from their own world. The audio visual aid is one of the alternatives to sensitize the students to the topic and the cultural background. Instead of proving the ready-made audio visual aids, teachers can involve students to actively engange in a more task oriented audivisual project. Here, the teachers encourage their students to create their own audio visual aids using colors, pictures, sound and gestures as a point of initation for further discussion. The students can use color that has become a strong element of fiction to help them calling up a forceful visual representation. Picture can also stimulate the students to build their mental image. Sound and silence, which are a part of the fabric of literature, may also help them to increase the emotional impact. |
